Totally agree. "This is how KoF should be". Not each and every fighting game needs to be upgraded into 3D and "updated as time changes". Some are amazingly wonderful in sprite/ 2D like the Guilty Gear and Melty Blood series, and of course older KoF. Maybe for Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter, and Street Fighter, 3D looks great and suits them well in gameplay and mechanics. For KoF, 3D elements and effects are fine, 3D fighters are not. I was totally disappointed when XIV came up. Now they just announced that KoF XV is in development. I hope they'll go back to 2D sprites; not likely though.
im very sure they wont ever go back to 2d kof 13 sprites were expensive af and on those years they barely managed to survive with pachinko games they moved to 3D cuz its more cheap
Im certain. GOG has no DRM or anything.. So its almost useless to crack GOG versions. Some Steam versions of games that are cracked are able to be played online actually for example my cracked KoF 2002 UM can play Multiplayer as long as i launch it with steam.
tbh snk should have improved this sprites instead of going 3D, this is how kof should be
