[neojedi]

The MMO version of KOF which was announced years ago and turned out to be vaporware is now being reborn as an arena fighter. Pics and vids are here:

God that looks more boring than Super Bubble Pop

 

[Poonman]

looks like a top down roving brawler....in which case I'd pick it up no matter how crappy it turns out to be.

I even see obscure shitty characters (like Shion) in the screen caps....meaning the roster might have some pretty cool motherfuckers in there as well.

 

[WoodyXP]

Can't wait to not play that.

What platform is it gonna run on anyway? Wonderswan64 or something?

Naw dude, that's a League of Legends clone.

At least I'm pumped.

A KoF MOBA? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

SNKP is trying SO hard to kill my love for SNK

 

[trenog]

Why are the voices SO BADDDD???

 

[fernandeath]

But is it an official (SNK's) game ?
Are there good chances of making an american version of it?

 

[SNKorSWM]

Consider that the in game description of the moves are written in Thai, that'd be one heck of an outsource if it were official.

 

[Cyclops]

SNK is just whoring out the license so they can get money to work on real games!



...Right?

The game has an official site
http://kof.gg.in.th/landing/landing01/

I see SNKP logo on there.

Except that it's clearly Hangul script, making it korean
XD

 

[TikTekTak]

The controls look horrible.

What's a MOBA by the way? Does one need to know that?

Read it again. The report is in Korean, the in-game description of the moves in the video is in Thai.



About 2 seconds into the video.

 

[Dr Shroom]

Noscript blocked it, didn't even see it.
XDDFFddd

 

[SNKorSWM]

It's about as korean as it's german.

It's like they're going out of their way to destroy themselves and all their IPs.

 

[rarehero]

Can't wait to not play that.

Yea, I can't wait to forget about this.
Like that 3d metal slug.
And other stuff.

Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA)

 

[Poonman]

"Happy 20th anniversary, KOF fans!"

 

[SNKorSWM]

Maybe they should do a Warcraft version of KoF.

So....I still don't care for this type of thing, but it sure is neat seeing a new game with Oswald, Lin, and Eiji in it along with Chang and a few others who aren't so cool (like fucking Bao).

There's even 14 mins of gameplay but the fucking poof wanted to play as Kula instead of someone interesting.
