Yeah finally a 3d kof game

Well let's see, to point out the main highlights.. aside from what was previously posted on their official site, the job listing also recruits for

- Experienced Network engineers
C/C++, Protocol connection
(Programmers that can write realtime communication TCP/UDP code)

Which is great. But also to put it in other words, If they're looking for net coding staff now, that casts a shadow over rumors of better netcode with the rumored steam version.



Oh boy, and their introduction sentences are seriously ironic.

"With social network games and casual games bloating the market, we at SNKPlaymore hope to bring the joy of fighting games to people around the world as an established brand.

Our Samurai Shodown series is currently at its 20th anniversary, and our KOF series will be celecrating its 20th anniversary as well next year.

We are recruiting development staffs for our huge project: the creation of next-generation titles for our two most popular series."



And the ending sentences reads

"We have just started on our projects under the slogans of "The ultimate 3D KOF" and "The ultimate Samurai Shodown", and we will take our time to develop the games. Our results are still far away, but we are confident that you will feel a great accomplishment when the game is complete. Let us work together to create this project that fans all over the world are waiting for."

lol! if they won't release it in 2014 then they'll miss the 20th anniversary. just stick with the xii sprites and add some new characters and moves for the previous ones like power dunk for terry it'll be alot more cheaper for them.

Yeah I think SNK should take their time like they did with XIII, remember how XII was rushed out and it was problematic for them.

It wasn't so much "rushed out" more than it was "they used so much time and money" that they had to release something (XII) to recoup costs.

Those sprites took forever to make (the shading alone took about a year for each character). Using 3D will cut the amount of time by at least half.
