Zing!

I still don't understand what's so hard about making backgrounds for these guys. I mean, the BG's for KOF's 94-99 were GORGEOUS (especially in 97).

Now, they have no color and no expressiveness.

I've read a few impressions of 03, and it seems the backgrounds are back up to par.

I've seen the backgrounds of '03 and they are definitely up to par. It's because 2k1 and 2k2 were made by an entirely different company.

Not really. Eolith did manage the products, but they were co-developed by Brezza Soft, which still assists SNK Playmore.

Edit: Some real KOF 2003 snapshots, for those who're still missing it:

Wow, it looks like every other KOF for the past 10 years.

What? What are you talking about? You're such an idiot.

I mean.... CLEARLY Kyo is wearing a new outfit this year.

'Ash' looks like a girl. Really.

3D backgrounds in a 2D fighter does not equal "enhanced." That's like enhancing a cars paint job by running a key down the side of it.

It depends. DC KOF98 & 99 used 3D backgrounds with almost all the original 2D textures. The result was not bad at all. 3D backgrounds a la Marvel vs Capcom 2 (hi-res, filtered, excess of polygonized elements) aren't suitable for a 2D low-res game. I suppose the ones in PS2 KOF 2001 are between these two types.
