Improvements for KoF 2002 for PS2

[Shapermc]

2001 backgrounds are ass on the PS2 and hardly 3-D. Smooth filtered backgrounds and razor sharp pixellated characters all wrapped in high res is not cool.

Yea, I 100% agree here, 2K1 looked like ass. It looked good on screen shots that I saw, but once your playing it, it looked horrible. I actually spent alot of wasted time in party mode just so that I could access the original arcade backgrounds. The are not that bad compared to the ass-tastic 3D ones... not like they were good to begin with. 2K looks amazing, with it's transparencies and the scan lines. SNKP, why not make 2K2 look like 2K? please

Because they try to add progressive scan support? Real low-res games (see DC MVC) are pixel-doubled in VGA and people is happier with 3D filters. And game developers still to realize that fake scanlines were invented the millennium before...

I haven't heard about this! Awesome. I'm a big fan of 2k1 and 2k2 (2k1 probably being my fav KOF) and to get enhanced versions later on the Ps2 is a great thing. Give the game enough life back to make me pick up and play the hell out of it again, not like I put it down in the first place.
Those are really nice additions too. Better than the 2k1 port.

Don't lie. If SNK put out a box filled with nothing but toilet paper and cans of tuna you'd still shell out a grand for it.

What the hell would warrant censorship in a KoF game?

02 is a beautiful game....if you imagine the backgrounds were done on the Genesis.

You got me there.

Only if it's uncensored.

kedawa, bouncing boobs and I believe blood warrant the censorship for the series.

[Adrian]

It's still an inferior port though.

Sorry The Bastard, but I beat you to it

It seems KoF 2002 will have 3d backgrounds like in 2001 for ps2, and will also feature Goenitz, Geese Howard, and Orochi Iori ripped out of SvC, as well as the 2k1 versions of Shingo and King like in the DC version.

Awesome! Like a new evil team, but they'll prolly be called the SvC team.

I'd definately rebuy it for 30-40 bucks if the backgrounds looked damn nice. I can finally make an ultimate evil team out of Rugal, Geese, and Goenitz now

Even more news.... the modes will be the same as the DC version, meaning it'll have Single, Team, Practice, Gallery, and Challenge. The japanese release date for this is March 25, 2004.
