The test in Tokyo is in Ikebukuro at the Sunshine City Prince Hotel on the second floor... it's kind of hard to make out but I think there's an arcade there called "Rainbow" and that's from 1pm to 5pm on the 16th."

I'm guessing that we can expect a lot of cell phone photos to come with this one. Can't wait to see those blurry ass pictures. I'm serious! lol

Damn that Shiroi Kaze! Stealing news from insert credit... and eating all those freshly raped babies! Anyway it's the beta test for Rumblefish and some other game called Kintaro or something... I think it might be related to Saleryman Kintaro.

Well from the good pics I got in the arcadia, the game doesn't look exelent.
I mean, if the characters graphisms are good (they're closs to GGXX) the back ground in "full 3D" doesn't macth with them.

well, in CvS2 the 3D in backgrounds was "discreet" and rare was the stage where they truely appear, (Rotating plateform is the only one IMO) here thy look close to those used in Dolphin blue, but in a Vs game it turn really bad (IMO!).

Sad since the characters doesn't seems that bad and are well desinged. Ho...impact effect have some nice transparency effect (Too much??) but they sadly, are too big for the characters.

well as usual , need to play it bafore giving a final opinion.

And about the 3d backgrounds of CvS2 and MvC2, you never played it with a VGA box, did you?

Yeah when you use a VGA box to play games on a computer monitor they always look much crisper... you haven't played Guilty Gear X until you've seen it on a monitor.

Anyway there's scans of those arcadia shots at Magicbox... and they are from a very early build, afterall the characters names are all "NAME". If what was said about ex SNK and Capcom employees working at Dimps is true... then this could turn out to be pretty good. So far the known the offense and defense meter sounds like a good start. The 3D Atomiswave fighter Force Five will also be at the beta test.

Closest thing would be to play it on a TV with progressive scan turned on (needing component cables, naturally). To be honest, playing it on mine actually looks better than playing GGX on a monitor with VGA box.

I'm not sure, but it looked amazing on my friend's HD TV with component. It wasn't VGA standards, but you could see almost as much detail as GGX DC.

Well, technically 480p is running at a slightly lower horizontal resolution than that of hi-res (640x480), but the lack of interlacing cleans it up a bit and brings out the colors better. Obviously things will look different with different TVs and monitors, but I saw virtually no difference between GGX running VGA and GGXX running p-scan. Some TVs have comb filters and better resolution handling, others do not. I'm rather happy with mine, because of this ;)

Now, if only PS2 could do 1080i...

And why don't more games have 16x9 support?! THPS4 is good and all, but dammit more games need widescreen. Hell, VF4 Evo was supposed to have p-scan AND 16x9 support, but lacks both... *bites thumb nail*

When I had the game, it mentioned if you hold X when you startup the game, it'll turn to a higher resolution for higher picture quality on TVs

The reason most don't support both types of screen is because it takes a bit of work to present the game in widescreen. Its not a simple thing to do. But I agree, I'd rather have widescreen over the regular stuff.

And Just One Fix, Sammy is publishing a KOF game. I don't know if Sammy is developing the game, but they are publishing their own KOF. Its not Sammy versus KOF. Its just a plain old KOF game. I don't know if it'll be KOF 2004, but I doubt it. I think its just a stand alone game. This was announced last November I believe, at some big Japanese Arcade Manufacturer trade show.

I don´t know if it´s Arc or not, but it is Sammy´s game. SNKP confirmed they are not part of it at all.

And it´s not 2004. 2004-2006 have ben confirmed as MVS games.

The last SNKP interview said Sammy´s KOF is the only game being developed in the Atomiswave system. The rep also said there were no plans of any other SNKP-related game on the Atomiswave system.

Trieu also confirmed that 2004-2006 are MVS.

I´ll take a SNKP rep (or even Trieu´s) word, thanks.

9 characters is pretty average for a new fighter... we've just gotten used to fighters that rehash every character from the previous versions. Also we have a definitive release date now, May 2004.

As for torn clothes... I was kind of hoping for a more "feminine" cast myself... but oh well. In This Pictureif you look at the screen on the right you can see his clothes have been torn a bit.

I do like Garnet, even though her design is less than original.

In other fighting game news Midway is supposedly announcing another Mortal Kombat.

"more" , posted Sat 17 Jan 13:02:

About the speed of the game :
- well, if you look at it with a positive mind, it's easy for people who are not used to the genre...
- and with a less positive mind?
- It sucks.

The feeling of the person who played it was that it was feeling "just" like a console game. And the character designs were quite blah, nothing of the level of anyone of GG. He was really hoping the game would get a serious boost before it is released.

Force Five : Some guys from Tekken worked on it, and the way the characters moves shows it. The guy hated the beta version they showed last year, but the (nearly final) version he saw this time pleased him a lot.

I dunno. I've been playing fighters since SF1 (yeah, yeah) and sometimes more speed doesn't necessarily make it more fun. Hell, I don't think I'd be into VF as much as I am if it were any faster (or slower, for that matter).

Generally, most fighters start with 10 characters, Guilty Gear, Street Fighter 3 immediatly come to mind, both had 10 fighters initially. Rumble Fish doesn't look to have a rival character to the main character, so it might be intresting not having a "rival" for the first player start position.

So...how about those...things....

You need one of those life sized Rei Ayanami dolls to be a king nerd. Either that or own the arcade cab for an obscure game that no one really likes but you'll pretend to really like because you have it and it would justify the huge price you paid for it. Or run a videogame website... doh!

Pfft, a life size Rei Ayanami doll does not make a king nerd. Now a giant sized Multi or Leaf character pillow does, especially if you post a picture of you hugging it on a web site or image board...Then we'll elect you King Nerd...

Of course, you'll also have to stop showering at cons so I'm not sure if it's a honor worth chasing...:)
