Title: KoF XII (worldwide) 360/PS3 - July 28th 09
Post by: fluxcore on December 28, 2008, 11:42:57 AM
Apparently, worldwide release date is July 28th 2009!

I have a feeling the PAL release will be later though, August something :(

Apparently this was confirmed way back in September or something, I must have missed it. Confirmed release for both 360 and PS3 - although no mention of a EU/PAL release at all so far (sucks for 360!)

Tentative release date is May 2009.

SO loooooong time.... :o :o :o probably release date same as da movie Terminator :Salvation Army same time lol

Additionally, about 3/4 of the way in, Chin is REALLY going to town on Clark's crotch.

Great news.  Can't wait to try it out.  Hopefully the arcade version will be in Yifans around April as that's apparently the arcade release date/month.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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)

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.

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.

Yo Lenny, got a team yet? I'm really digging Leona/Mature/Random, Mature is a BEAST.

Dammit you're making me regret not ordering a copy yesterday. Well now I'm going to have to order a copy so that it turns up at my work on Monday.

I doubt it bothers anyone, but Arcadia tier list:

S Rank: Kyo, Iori
A Rank: Terry, Andy, Joe, Shen Woo, Kensou, Ralf, Kim, Ryo
B Rank: Robert, Ash, Chin, Raiden, Daimon
C Rank: Benimaru, Duo-lon, Leona, Athena
D Rank: Clark

Was thinking about using Joe/Duo/Clark, but i dunno, Joe might be a little high for me. :P

Yeah.  Clarke is low tier, but he can still drop a quarter of your life bar from a crouching light kick.

Today marks the first of many KoFXII sessions at OLDBOY gaming den in Wellington, may move the days to Tuesday after this.

Anyone in Wellington interested, the fun starts at 20:00, I have enough credit to last until/past midnight.

I've already got a handful of people coming, I'd like it if people came down even just to get a taste of the awesome-fun gameplay.

GONNA START ME A SCENE YO.

Demo on Japanese PSN!

Only Kyo and Terry 1p vs computer. Edit, actually 2player not bad  ;D

I was presently surprised to find it. I gotta have a look for a tutorial regarding the new system.

Only 85MB download. Makes me wonder why the load time is so long.

Load time shouldn't be long if it's running off the HDD... may be a demo problem
