There has been some shaky-cam footage of KOF XII floating around for a few days now, but the quality was pretty terrible. While we don’t have any direct feed “yet”, the good folks over at gamevideos.com were nice enough to get some high res (non shaky) cam footage from GDC08.
This game is seriously breath taking… SNK has finally let go of their 18 year old (damn… has it really been that long?) Neo-Geo technology and has visually surpassed every other 2D fighting game. KOF XII even looks better then Arc System Work’s Guilty Gear which up until now was the king of 2D Fighting Game visuals.
With King of Fighters XII and Street Fighter IV looking really promising, I can finally say fighting games are BACK! and I for one couldn’t be happier.
Here are some nice High-Res shots of the new “Mixed Martial Arts” character Abel. From the looks and sound of it, he seems to be and Ultimate Fighter/MMA type character. At the moment we don’t have any real news about him except some translated text. However the game is now actually playable in Japan at the AOU 2008 arcade expo. Hopefully we’ll have some real game play and reactions soon enough.
Until then, look deep down and tell us what you think about this character.
