The game looks a little bit nice. Are the stages fully 3D? The perspective on the Kim vs Griffon looks a little off.
There was a 50+ meg E3 video at the old snkneogeousa site, where you could see this game running. It looked fully 3D (the video didn´t have any BG with people, but judging from the pics, the crowd is 2D).
Back at E3, all BGs were new, but in the pics you see that the game will have 3D versions of old backgrounds now. The water in the beach stage (a very loose adaptation of the "Seaside" stage from the arcade?) looks nice. Want to see that in movement.
Anyway, you can see a couple screencaps i took from the video back then:

"The first one is a boat in a river (Nile?), passing through some tents and pyramids. The second one is a platform (?) in some small european city, where you can see those nice, white, brick houses."

i can finally play 2k3 for the first time when it comes out on either Xbox or PS2. is it any good? i have the mook with the DVD that shows some strategy to it but is it up to snuff for a KOF? i hear mix reviews. i didn't enjoy KOF 1999 for the arcade but i enjoyed 2000, 2001, and 2002 more than 1999. so is it coming out in the last quarter or next year?
I like it a lot. I play 2-player for a few hours every weekend.
The grapplers have some "unfair" advantages (wake-ups are vulnerable to command throws, same for jumping in from tagging), and DuoLon is broken... but frankly, it´s a lot of fun.
The engine feels very different from previous KOFs (which makes some people whine oh my god it´s not 2002  ).
The tag system is not annoying like in games like MVC, and is also much better than strikers. The juggling feels more natural than in the couple previous games. Control response is very different, so first hour or so will be mostly addapting.
It all adds up to the combo system, which i feel is very natural, unlike the last few KOFs and most "VS" games.
I like most KOFs. I only really dislike ´99. 2000 would be nice without strikers. 2001 is average. 2002 is nice, but damn it´s pointless - lifeless.
2003 is the first KOF in years that i can support it. It´s not like 99, where as much as they tried it wouldn´t get anywhere... It´s not like SVC where only building from the ground-up would fix it. All they have to do in 2004 is fix the grappling issue and DuoLon.

They have crazy stuff. But the character-related stuff in the KOF comic seemed to use info taken directly from SNK. They sometimes would have info and scenes exactly like in the bios from games not yet released by SNK.
Do you have a precise example ? At least the sex change of professor Makishima is funny.
(speaking of which, every character have been updated minus Zero).
Edit : Interesting bits : they are happy with Ash's design, and with the concept of intersting hero-vilain (why not?)
Duolon will return, and so will Shen Wu. As for Shen Wu, his concept looked like too much Yashiro and Ralf, and the fact the game was developed in such a short time prevented them to really make him as they wanted ; he should appear as a more violent character in the sequel.
Griffon : Actually, it should have been Raiden, but it was changed at the last minute. Someone also had the idea to make a GM+Grant team. And the "Tizoc" name make them laugh.
Gatô is here to appeal the chinese market, and no, they never thought seriously about using Hotaru in 03 (they don't say anything about the sequel, though). He was used as a test character for 03 and got hit by every single move in the game, poor Gatô.
Malin's entry was decided after Choi was erased, and her moves are his on purpose.
Maki seems to have a little different haircut ? never noticed.
Adelhaid's father is Rugal, and they gave him a feminine name on purpose (?). He is here to "enlarge the world of KOF" (???)
Rose is here to be the ojôsama of the game, since Hinako is... well, Hinako.
Saishû's page is about a 10th anniversary mook. (something like AASNK, but with KOF only ?)
And Eiji interviews Tonko.

Well well well, this is my 200th post, and as always, I have to thank Iggy for the big news, but this time, I truly thank him very much for giving me the first true big news on The King Of Fighters 2004(at least on the roster, but of course better than nothing).And I surely dig the possibility of the All About The King of Fighters 10th anniversary celebrative mook.
That's all for now.See y'all later.
