VG247: SNK and Ignition just confirmed that The King of Fighters XII will release this July for both 360 and PS3.
The game was rumoured as a summer launch for PS3 this morning.
"Our development slogan for KOFXII is 'KOF Re-Birth' and we've aimed to create an entirely new King of Fighters game. To make this a truly unique fighting game, we've revolutionized the graphics by creating state of the art visuals - and made no compromises in that process whatsoever," said SNK Playmore boss, Masaaki Kukino.
GameDynamo - "Fighting games have enjoyed a period of spectacular growth after being a nearly nonexistent genre for so many years prior. Because of this sudden growth, we're seeing a lot of companies taking different approaches to the traditional fighting game formula that has stood since Street Fighter II first came onto the scene."
Star Trek Online developer Cryptic has ruled out the possibility of it releasing a sequel to the game in future years - telling CVG it would rather constantly update its existing MMO.
They never said they were going to do a sequel.
An expansion a few years down the line? Maybe, Star Trek Online is pretty good, it was released a bit early but most MMO's are now a days due to the "release now patch later" mentality. =/
i took part in the closed/open beta and it was voiced by many people that the game needed more time. i understand mmos are an ever evolving process but the sheer amount of bugs at launch was amazing. I would love to see what WoW was like at beta and launch stages, i even hear that zones weren't seamless like they are today.
in the end, as a player, you want to be the first one out of the gate to play a game but you also have to put up with unrefined aspects of the game. i bet when the holidays roll around the game will be fairly solid.
you are right about STO, its a good game. its the best star trek game i have ever played in fact. (although its the only one)
I'm glad they aren't going to make a sequel. The current game is unfinished and flawed, they need to fix that first.
A sequel is the last thing people are thinking about right now, it's an online game! You don't need a sequel, you can just keep building the game and change the story arc for as long as you want.
The Start Screen reviews King Of Fighters XII for the PS3. They cover how far fighting games have come and with the showing that SNK Playmore's KOF XII, how far we need to go. The game was seemingly released incomplete with an time trial for an Arcade Mode and a seemingly broken online mode. Did the 772 MB patch help?
