Anyone who knows me would know I am a big KOF fanboy. So this is big news for me. They took an extra year to work on this one , thus departing from the Yearly KOF names (KOF 99 , 03 etc). This wont be on the 15 year old hardware that the older KOFs were on. SNK is now using Atomiswave hardware which is home to the GGXX series so the graphics should be improved. Following up from KOF03's story FXI will again have Ash Crimson as the lead character which is great IMO I don't think I ever really lost to anyone with him in KOF03... he was that gay.

ps2 iwmc?

[mojo]

finally, a change in graphics technology for kof....but wait, what happened to maximum impact?

[inc0gnit0]

How'd I manage to miss that one...? Now you have me all anxious... ps2? this year? any more details? Wait til E3? gaaah. Ah well, the new engine should be QUITE interesting.

[Geese]

I'm doubtful that a totally new engine will be used. From what I've heard SNK will be redoing the older sprites in higher resolution so as to keep the faithful KOF ppl happy. Unlike some other companies SNK is all about the fans :D Backgrounds should be hi res 2d or 3d. Gamewise it should keep the same tag system as KOF03. Hopefully they will make the controls better this time around. I had serious pains doing half circle moves in 03.

so i guess maximum impact and the whole 3d fighting scene was a buss... I really thought that it would have caught up. I for one haven't even played Maximum impact yet. Ah well, back to 2D sprites.

[Geese]

Maximum Impact wasnt a buss , not by a long shot. It was SNK's most successful console title. Maximum Impact 2 is already on the way. MI imo was very cheesy , alot of things to exploit , semi infinites especially. I found one probably 2 mins into playing the game.

Hellooo
Its coming out for ps2 right? Thaz the console of preference?

[LARUTO]

so far all of SNK's games have debuted on the PS2, with an xbox release to follow. the PS2 version is normally without online though.

since they are simply re-doing the older sprites i'm guessing it would be waste to hold this off till the next gen consoles. Maximum impact2 should see a PS3 xbox 360 release, and should hopefully have killer online on both platforms.

the ps2 release will probably come 6 to 8 months after the initial arcade release. As of right now the last 2d KOF ie KOF NeoWave is supposed to hit ps2 in june.
