The legendary fighters in the THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV have made their stateside debut thanks to a partnership between SNK PLAYMORE and Atlus U.S.A. The vaunted fighting game series, which first made its debut 1994, is entering a new evolution with THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV thanks to series-first 3D graphics and debuting exclusively on the PlayStation 4 console. THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV is now available.
THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV Feature Details:
• 3D Evolution: All 50 fighters, movesets and more are rendered in full 3D graphics that preserves the essence of KOF’s visual style but updates it with a whole new dimension.
• The Best Refinement since KOF ’98: Through extensive playtesting and balancing, the controls have been streamlined, and the Combo and Max Mode mechanics have been overhauled to create the most competitive fighter in SNK’s history.
• The KOF Saga Continues: There’s a robust single-player storyline where several years have passed since the previous KOF tournament. Now a worldwide business, the global KOF will decide who is the strongest as both individuals and companies with their own ambitions have come to compete. Players compete against CPU-controlled opponents to unlock the storyline.
• The Best Roster Yet: There are 50 fighters total, with 31 returning from previous entries into the KOF series, and 19 brand new characters. All 50 characters will be available at the game’s launch.
• Revamped Online Experience: THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIVhas devoted a lot of development time to improving the game’s netcode for vastly improved online gameplay. KOF XIV uses the PS4’s online architecture to have a whole host of online conveniences, from spectating to saving replay/battle data, and having a single online KOF XIV profile to connect with friends.

Graphically, it seems like it downgrades just as much as it upgrades. Looks just as bad as before, but in a slightly different way.
Ahora todos aquellos que criticaban al juego por sus gráficos pueden tragarse sus palabras… Bien hecho, SNK.
ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA
Yosssssssssshh.
Shaders here we come. Please add PS4 Pro support for better AA.
expected one of the before/afters to show bigger breasts. disappointed 🙁
Glorious! Bring it on!!!
Now just bring the game to PC with all these improvements and things will be all good.
Congratz on discovering Shaders Atlus..
New characters whennnnnn
Oh come on now, announce the PC version already!!!
SNK kof <3
same good ol' gameplay, now with a little better graphics so you can stop your bitching now!!
And somehow I'll bet Andy still looks like poop. ;-p
See? FU to who say "oh but graphics sucks" you see damn mortals?? Our support helped SNK for THIS! Remember it: SNK it's not Capcom!
Wish they'd add custom colors again if it's not too difficult to implement, such a great part of old KoFs.
keep up the great work!
very well done SNK , I Know now because The Future is Now! .
Still haven't opened my premium edition.
New shader for the engine, probably some tweaks to the lighting of the characters. Still not perfect, but it makes it look a lot better and a lot less flat.
definetely getting it on a sale or when it reaches the U$40 mark
Someone know the name of the song?
Goody! Now they look even more like living plastic mannequins!
People care about graphics, but not much for FPS.
Looking good
I really hate those steelbooks…but actually there is not a standard version in my country.
Companies should learn from Atlus
You REALLY have to give SNK the hand here. They actually hear the cries for improvement of this game and slowly but surely they are changing it! Thank you SNK.
Atlus never lets us down
Another reason to get a PS4 now, I have Persona 5 preordered, I got enough time to save up.
You VS the guy she told you not to worry about
This did nothing. Please go back to the 2D art style or use cell shaders.
Looks much better now, Leona is may favorite, just look at that shine…
Seriously, SFV won over this game?
Props SNK. Just loads of props to you…..
Somehow new version of King looks off. She is the only one in this trailer looking better pre-update
Fuck. I love the rock song.
Just fix Mai's old lady eyes and im good
Add Chris, Yashiro and Shermie, and Vanessa, Mary and Yamazaki and your are gold
Oh hey a significant free update to a game with a shoestring budget that launched with tons of content already. SFV devs should be fucking ashamed.
Dig the shaders…
when coming xbox
The Cartoonish era is over, now it's the shittier Gothic era
Great work! Can we get a special patch for PS4 PRO?
Yoooooooo, Sylvie looks vicious after the update.
JANUARY HERE WE COME!
Not that I had any issues with the visuals, (aside from Kyos face vs the cover art/portait), seeing a company respond to their audience is a great thing to see. Props to SNK for this one.
new corors avairabre,yeay!
Good work!
While I consider the graphics extra credit compared to the gameplay, this looks really cool for an update! However, there is still one major problem: This game is PS4 exclusive, not released for Xbox One AND PS4! Atlus USA and SNK knows that netplay in Xbox Live is superior to the Playstation Network, as demonstrated with KOF XIII. And if it's true that the controls and/or combo inputs are streamlined in KOFXIV, that would have been a HUGE opportunity to bring half, if not most, of the Xbox players casual towards the fighting game genre into the fold. Why then would Atlus USA squander such opportunity with a PS4 exclusive? That decision doesn't make sense…
they fucked up kyos climax I like that one with the sun on the background .
