I'll be interested to see what their definition of "high res" is. I'm happy to see the return of arrange soundtracks, though. It's been a while.

My guess is "bigger and uglier".

Maybe they'll apply a double-res filter like the emulators do.
EDIT: oh, and great avatar Iggy, best anime of the year.

via Babelfish:
Loading arrangement BGM. (Original edition and selective possibility)
So they actually got a team of composers to do ASTs again, since word is SSO for PS2 has an unlockable AST as well?

A lot of people really hate that, but I think as a whole it makes the game look a bit better. Sometimes it's too blurry or sloppy, but I think if it was done professionally or if you had the option to turn it on or off, it'd be good.
Now the question is...and I've been wondering this for a while...if you emulate a NeoGeo game on PS2/XBOX will it be better than the actual home port? A dangerous question for SNK.

It makes me wonder, someone pointed out that it's possibly just hi-res official character art (like 2k1) but there's no portraits next to the lifebars in 2k3.
Another possibility is maybe these are the h-res sprites we'll see for 2004? (Since more than likely 2004 will continue the new story arc and have the same characters)

Victory portraits, maybe?

This is SNKP we're talking about here... they're masters at building up our hopes... just to have it come crashing down on us. They definitely wouldn't redraw all the sprites in a new resolution.... so it's bound to be something lame like just high res select portraits.

Not an offical source KOF 2000 an SNKP game had an arrage on DC.

The version I played at E3 had high-res 3D backgrounds. The sprites looked the same as always. I assume all this means is that the sprites have been upscanned and converted to match the new graphics engine -- as in the first two Dreamcast games.
Nothing to get excited about.

This was because KOF 2000 was not an SNK/Playmore game, it was an SNK game (in terms of development) and it already had a completed arranged that was available as an ST long before it came out for DC. This will be the first SNK/P arranged (and I hope it's as good as the classic SNK stuff! Been a while...)

I'm really, really happy to see some arranged music come back into the mix, and I sincerely hope its up to the old standards of the ASTs of yore, and not department store quality asscrap like the arranged tracks were for the DC version of Mark of the Wolves.

Actually, if you want to go this way, closer to us, SS0 came out with an "arrange" soundtrack (though it seems it's the same one with just clearer sound). As Rugal pointed, they mean it's the first SNKP developped game to have one. And I was just laughing at the way they advertize the AST, like if it was the OMG new innovation SNKP created just for that game.
I don't know (cough), it would be like announce a fighter "with more than 20 characters!!!" and finally ship a fighter with 21 characters. Technically, the commercial pitch wasn't wrong, but the enphasis was put on the wrong spot.

And Playmore takes out the comments about high-res sprites and arranged soundtracks after realizing everyone might buy the game if they make the sprites high-res and have arranged soundtracks.
Leave it to Playmore........
Only the demo-graphics are gonna have high-res. So it's pretty much gonna be like 2002 on the PS2

If it´s a filter, i hope they have on/off options. Filters look like shit.
And i doubt it´s just the portraits. 2002 had those (look really nice), but they didn´t announce it or anything. Same for the lame aliasing of the edges of sprites in SVC...

Since you didn't read Saiki's post (and while you may not read this one either) they backed off. No high res, no arrange soundtrack.
