KoF XII (worldwide) 360/PS3 - July 28th 09

[Orochi]

The game broke street date last night, which is technically false because it wouldn't have had a street date unless it was called HALO or something. But anyway, a fair few homes in the US have it now, courtesy of GameStop.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!
Supports 1080p! Wooo!
Loading times! Wooo!
Shitty netplay! Wooo! (So far, it hasn't even been out a day yet, wait for proper release date to make sure)

Other gaming sites still list it as July 28th! My pre-order is still sitting there!

Netplays got me worried. Looks helluva fun though. Maybe I'll rent before buying. I'll hit you up online for some games crusty netplay and all if I get my hands on a copy.

[Orochi]

getting mixed reports now, some people are loving the netplay, but it's about 40% so far, should be a day1 patch anyway

cool , let you know what its like online later tommorow

[Orochi]

Wait until after the 28th, the game should get a patch, it's not even technically out yet.

People are however, noting that the game feels really good, which is a plus.

[Elixir]

shit net code.

wtb> street hoop, magical drop 3, garou and bubble bobble with good online netcode. go.

[Orochi]

Yeah, lets all jump on the bandwagon before it's departed from the station!

New servers are being implemented tomorrow along with updates for the games when they're officially released.

Euan's gone to the dark side

[Orochi]

Oho, someone else in NZ has it ?

Awesome

I've been playing it with my friends, everyone is really keen on getting into the game properly, I'm so happy

[maelgrim]

I can't remember when I last saw so many negative reviews / hate for a fighting game.
But glad to see you guys enjoying it - maybe it is worth a closer look.
I did see B1ackstar's copy running in the weekend & looked like fun, though it will take a lot to drag me off BB

[Orochi]

There are some bad points, but if you get it for a pure VS fighter, you're going to enjoy it for a long LOOOONG time.

Unless you want to play online, which they're having an announcement for this week regarding a new patch. (They're testing new netplay atm)

[stereomonkey]

Thats actually cool of them doing that.  Usually once the game is out and it plays online then that would be all they gave a shit about.

[Lennysaurus]

Im actually really enjoying this.  They have made it nice and simple.

One thing that always detterred me from KOF is having to learn a whole team, and normally your average KOF dude has multiple specials normals and other stuff to learn.  Its heaops easier this time round as all the characters are nice and simple.

Also the redone graphics are AWESOME!!!  I fucking love the new Clarke and Ralf.  When Clarke does the Argentine Back Breaker I pee my pants just a little bit.
