PS4 Exclusive The King of Fighters XIV Gets New Trailer/Screenshots, Reveals More Characters

Today is character reveal day, and after Nina Williams in Tekken 7, you get three more for The King of Fighters XIV, that will come out this year for PS4.

[PhoenixUp]

So many fighting games on PS4. This brand has a strong history with this genre

[Hoffmann]

Yeah. Its like that since Battle Arena Toshinden in January 1995 ;-)

If you are a fighting game fan and you like to play many different game series, you need a Playstation. No other console had more fighting games than the PS1 and 2. Not even the NeoGeo.

[darthv72]

Didn't know this game was exclusive to PS4 as well. Personally I would get my fighting fix on Sega systems because of the controller. Especially Saturn for games like Marvel Super Heroes and SF Alpha 1/2/3. That RAM cart made a huge difference back in the day.

[gangsta_red]

I'm with Darth on this one, the Dreamcast is where all the fighting games were. Especially the capcom fighters.

Fighting games on the Dreamcast just seem to run faster than on PS2.

[Tobsesan]

Neo geo mainly had fighters they had way more

[Hoffmann]

Tobsesan

Count all NeoGeo fighting games and after that count all Playstation 1 or 2 fighting games together.

[jetlian]

neo geo had way more. tons of no name fighters

[XisThatKid]

Don't give a [BLAM] what the naysayers opinions are, This is still my 2nd fav Fighting franchise period and can't wait for this game. This keeps looking better and better to me. I don't care that the visuals aren't crazy and impressive I finally get that "KoF" vibe from a new KoF game. Haven't had this feeling since KoF 2002. XIII was cool but seemed a bit off. I think it was great step forward, I love forward and welcome good changes but there was just something missing from XIII. I get installments from all 3 of my fav fighting franchises this year AND an entry in another franchise that I'm finally going to get into. This can't come any sooner.

Only on the best "this" gen console, IMO.

[3-4-5]

I don't own a PS4, but good for you that do.

You guys get to play Street Fighter 5 & King of Fighters 14, along with many other exclusives.

Still love my XB1 & Wii U and handhelds + Pc I have but I'm most likely eventually going to get a PS4 at some point once they are really cheap, even if it's just before the PS5 releases.

Tons of awesome games on the PS4 to play.

[Majin-vegeta]

Yes Robert is in :D.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Not a fan of the change but whatever.

[Gaming4Life1981]

yea im not a fan of the new change but i have been playing kof for so long that I will buy this anyway. All I need is terry, mai, and iori and its game over for my enemies.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Oh for sure. I just think the previous artwork was much better. I don't doubt this will be another great entry to the series.

[gangsta_red]

Wow, thank gawd they gave Benimaru a new costume. I swear that half shirt was the worse. Good to see K' in the game and we get normal Ralph instead of the roided out mess from 13.

It's safe to assume that every KoF 'ol school character is making their way to the game. And it looks like a lot of the characters are going back to their old set of moves from '94.

But what's up with Kyo and his coca-cola bottle shaped body?

[Hoffmann]

Nah, their movesets are more like in KOF 1998 and 2k2, some of the players at the playstation experience who played the demo mentioned that

[gangsta_red]

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I was seeing this demo and looking at the moves Robert and Kyo were throwing out. Those two are definitely using their more classic move sets.

[etebitan]

Where is Mai??

[waltyftm]

Well said.

[G20WLY]

Where is your what? :oP

[TripleCs]

Wow, looks like they've been really touching up on the graphics.

I'm not the biggest fan of 2D fighters as I prefer 3D fighters like Tekken, DOA, Ultimate Ninja Storm but I'm getting Street Fighter 5 in February so I think I'll give this a chance as well. Just need a price and a release date.

[darthv72]

3D fighters work so long as that is what they originated as. It's when you take a 2D fighter and try and make it work in a 3D space. Some would say the EX series in Street Fighter was good, I didn't care for it personally.

To me, this game is less like KoF (insert number) and more like KoF: Maximum Impact. It has that look of MI instead of that really nice hand drawn look of previous games.

[gangsta_red]

I agree, I don't know why SNK can't get skilled graphic artist to make their games up to date with the rest of the fighters of this generation.

The mechanics look solid as with all KoF games but SNK always seems to be behind a gen or two when it comes to graphics.

They should have contracted that work out to Namco or Capcom...or someone capable.

[Ruggadagod]

Damn it seems like the Wii U/Xbone aren't getting any fighting game love. I guess they're just returning back to what they used to do back on the PS1/PS2. Financially it just seems better to stay on one console for the companies I guess.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Bring me Vice, Mature, and Shermie. I want my custom Femme Fatale Team.

[Chevalier]

That's one of my teams too! Lol. Need Blue Mary as well.

[Tobsesan]

I would prefer the neo geo style, this looks meh. But 50 fighters is crazy

[Voids]

Part of me misses the sprites/2D life, but they seem to have captured the spirit of each character nicely.

[Knushwood Butt]

Looks better with each new trailer.

Kyo still looks a bit weird though.

[DivineAssault]

Never got into this series.. I love fighting games too

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

This will be right next to SFV when I get it. Love both series! :-)

[Tzuno]

Mehh, looks cheap and with Dreamcast graphics. Just hype and nothing more.

[-shoryuken-]

I have to agree with you... I prefer 2d sprits with fluid animations. The 3d looks cheap. I guess I'm old school...
