Topic: King of Fighters XV

We should be getting some info on this game pretty soon. What are everyone's hopes for the new game?

I'm hoping for rollback netcode, and crossplay to be included.

In terms of teams, I'd love to see some guest teams. Like team Capcom, Arc System Works, or Namco.

I'm hoping for more stylized graphics like they did with the new Samurai Shodown. I don't need it pushing the new hardware or anything, but XIV looks like a PS2 game.

@judaspete Yes definitely, I'm all for a more stylised look. Samurai Shodown looks great, KOFXIV just looked really plain. The Supers looked good, but the characters and levels just lacked visual flair.

Between this and the rumored new Metal Slug game, SNK has been on a roll lately.

Hoping we get some more news tonight at the fighting game roundtable. An hour to go...

I'm personally hoping for some guest teams.

I already know for a fact the presentation is going to be leaps ahead of KOFXIV because it's being made on UE4 like Samurai Shodown

My personal wants would be rollback netcode because ArcSys is just staying every step ahead in that department with the new Guilty Gear, as well as cross-platform play with Xbox/PC, in addition to more Art of Fighting characters and some way to get Rock Howard back in the roster.

Well a little later than expected but the first trailer for KOFXV is here

Looks like gameplay will be revealed next week. It is looking a bit more stylised than before.

Hopefully next week we get Rollback confirmed.

Looks terrific.

If there's a Switch port I'll be all about it.

Kyo and Benimaru look clean as hell

Definitely prefer this kind of art direction for the series since it captures the vibe I got from KOFXIII's sprite art but in 2.5D

Just wish the actual gameplay in the trailer wasn't this short but hey we have news next week as well so there is that

Well we've got the next trailer, looks like they're taking the arc system works approach to trailers.

Looks like SNK are revealing a character a week, which I'm happy with. Hopefully we get some characters who were not in XIV soon.

We get some more mechanics shown off in this trailer. Looks like you can now do EX moves outside of Max Mode, which you couldn't do in XIV. The ending sequence shows what looks to be Benimaru in Max Mode, do a level 1 super, Into a level 2 super, Into a level 3 super.
