Do you consider the King of Fighters Graphics to be old and dated?

2nd Impact looks better . . .

I don't think so...maybe better backgrounds but don't look better, and I like more the ones in 3rd Strike

The first KoF I played was 2000 on the DC, and the animation hurt my eyes.

Flame me up, Johnny!

Barring ram issues,It would look beautiful If they used Mark of the wolves style sprites and animation. They also should return to the highly detailed backgrounds and stage openings.

Who gives a damn what other people think about koF.

You like it?

Good for you.

They don't like it?

Good for them.

Now if you'll excuse me, KoF 2K2 is calling....

Actually BonusKun, you are right, because if someone else posted what I did, I'd probably have said what you just did, but for once, I wanted to get the feelings of others here. Just wanted to see where everyone stood, kinda.

Oh, and this is coming from me, who usually doesn't give a damn about anyone's review, save my own.

NO! I like the KoF graphics and animation. Never seen one I didn't like.

And 3rd Strike definitely looks nicer than the two that came before it. I liked the old air parrying better and Sean's uppercut is wack in 3rd Strike but the first two do not look as good in my opinion.

What is sad is that I think some of the KOF characters saw their best day not thanks to SNK, but thanks to Capcom, by way of Capcom vs. SNK. SNK should have been ashamed that their old rival outdid them when it came to their own characters.

As I said in a previous thread, I LOVE King of Fighters, but good lord, it has gone on for long enough. Either give it an update or just put it out of its misery. Those sprites, the half-assed character animation, it has gone on for too long. If it is the NeoGeo hardware causing all of this, toss it out the window. The binds that tie these games to that hardware need to be gotten rid of. The NeoGeo has survived for a LONG DAMN TIME. If anyone who owns a system bitches about not getting future versions of KOF released for it, they are whiny brats. NeoGeo owners have already gotten more support for the system in terms of years than any other company would have given to that system.

Move to Naomi, move to ANYTHING, and remake this game from the ground up. Bitching in '97, '98 about the "same old graphics" was indeed annoying - bitching EIGHT YEARS LATER is a God-given right.

Like 3rd's presentation if you want, but 2nd's backgrounds definitely have more detail, animation and personality. Most of 3rd's bgs are near-static. There's no denying that. the outlying VS and victory artwork screens in 2nd are superior to 3rd as well.

Not a big deal, I'm just a one-man 'Remember 2nd Impact!' advocate. Don't mind me.

I prefer the stages in Street Fighter III: New Generation the best out of the three. Like Alex's NYC alley backdrop. The game still gets my vote for best looking fighter to date.
