They look like young kids brawling instead of super powerful young adult warriors battling. They don't feel as charismatic, and because of that the character looses a bit of power (in my eyes, at least). In my opinion, KoF XIV characters are a little less effective in giving this feeling. Certain moves look really powerful and explosive. Has the same powerful feeling been kept? I mean, when you look at a character, you can feel a certain charisma, a certain power emanating from him and that that guy is not one to mess with. KoF is known for it's fast action paced gaming and KoF XIII is better in this particular aspect. On KoF XIII, the second special will be performed, no problem, immediately. For example, if you try to do a special move, and while the character is performing it, you are already preparing a special charge move to do as soon as the first one ends, too many times it will fail because you have to wait a brief moment from one special to another. The characters move well, all the classic moves are there, but as soon as you start to play it at a deeper level, you start to notice certain things. On the surface it's a successful conversion. This is a new tendency, going from classic 2D for a 3D look, but maintaining the core feeling of the game.īut in the case of KoF, has the general playability been kept intact or even the sensations and feelings that the game is known for? Only in certain key moments we can actually see the (real) 3D in effect, like in close ups when doing super moves (kinda like Street Fighter IV and V).
With KoF XIV, although we have 3D graphics, it still plays like a 2D fighting game. Let's analyze the last two installments and do a comparison of some important aspects/topics that I find relevant.
IMAGENES DE KOF 13 SERIES
Since them, the series has evolved and now, with the 14th installment, we have 3D graphics for the first time in a KoF game. The King of Fighters is a series of fighting games by SNK that began with The King of Fighters '94 in 1994, as a sorts of crossover for two SNK series of games named Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting.
