HARADA AND SNK STARTING A NEW STUDIO
I don't like it at all.
He will be enjoying Saudi Prince cleveland steamers?
>Ed Boon missed his chance to put him in charge of a NRS JapanJUST
I'm awaiting the not-Tekken announcement trailer that's exclusive to Playstation without Sony having to ask for anything.
>>738728058Japan hates NRS stuff
a developer that does it for money isn't a good developer
>>738727880Pussy Destroyer phenotype.
>>738727880Which franchise will he rape next
>>738727880They should rugpull him by making him work on something bright and childish
>>738727880so he stopped making fighting games for Namco and now he's going to make fighting games for SNK? what was his reason for leaving?
>aof4 is gonna be a 3d fighter
>>738727880>new studio>while leaving Tekken to die with its atrocious balance updates
>>738728341he probably got headhunted lol, also he hated working at bamco
Bandai-Namco seethe status?
>>738728353
>Ronaldo in 3d fighting HYYYYYYYYYYYYPE
Shitposting aside, is Harada a competent manager?
>>738728341Its clear that he wasnt happy with Bamcos management busting his nuts for over a decade when it comes to his projects. Saudis told him he will get creative freedom and money so he obviously went with that thats it lol.
If this was old SNK we were talking about it would've crazy news unironically but given this is about nu-SNK I can't give less of a fuck.
>>738728214Wait fuck I'm retarded I somehow mixed up Harada and Nagoshi.
>>738728543He's better than Ono, I'd say yes.
>>7387278803D kino incoming?
>>738728543he's better than Ono and modern Daisuke
I really want to see new names come out of Japan. It's just one tired millennial after another.
>>738727880>saudi dicksucker who got kicked out of bamco for flundering proper nintendo support for yearsThis will LITERALLY end up like that notYakuza game that just go canceled after failing to find more 100 millions of funding to even make the game.
>>738727880>Taking the Saudi money to kick start a studio that you know is going to produce garbageWould you?
>>738727880SnK has a bunch of washed up people from SF and Tekken yet they can't still make 1 successful fighting game.
DON'T ASK ME FOR SHITTO
>>738728767SNK has infinite money bro
ResetEra is taking the news well.They're also bringing Maximilian Dood with this.
>>738728813Yes, and even shit on my previous company
>>738728663Lol. Nintendo brain really is a mental disorder.
>>738727880>washed-up hack joins up with washed-up companyKino.
>>738727880will it have the same fate as nagoshi studio?
>>738728813Hey if you made your career deepthroating sony for a living this is not that much of a step down or way bigger money.
>>738728943It's just because Nagoshis current gig imploding is in the news
>>738728868Go back and stay on your shitty forum, OUTSIDER.
>>738727880So this means an upcoming 3D fighter Ronaldoken?
>>738727880I can't tell if this is good or not. Snk has completely incompetent leadership and harada is a shitty game designer but maybe he's a better studio lead than snk has. I was going to say he'd never do something as retarded as penaldo but then I remembered negan
>>738727880as a SNK fanboy, this is sad news for me, Kekken is pure dogshit
>>738728849but limited skills
doesnt SNK have unlimited arab funding?
>>738729052Siding with the Chinese isn't a good idea if you're Japanese, which is why you also shouldn't work with Nintendo.
>>738728049Yes, his first new game will be a Cleveland Steambox exclusive.
>>738728868>retardera astroturfer posting hereyikes
>>738729124Then he'll fit right in with all the dogshit SNK has made in the past 10 years.
KING OF FIGHTERSMAXIMUM IMPACTTHREEEEEEEY/N /v/?
>>738729126yeah it's 100% a new dogshit game, but it will come out. Nagoshi can't even get funding
>>738728341Tekken is a shitty fighting game and nobody at that studio knows anything about game design. Harada knows snk has better fundamentals and more potential if they hire some better artists.
>>738728097ENTERhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGI2GyP49NY
>>738729192I just lurk there, I don't have an account nor post.
>>738728104That's most of them now and most jap artists worship money that's why they never defend their work against censorship because they don't care.
>>738728097They do love NTR thoughbeit
>>738729272Maybe you should just lurk here too faggot
>>738729124SNKniggas should be happy since Harada is the first actual human at SNK with actual talent to grace their doors in decades. Maybe SNK can actually produce something that people will actually give a fuck about, think is good, and play now.
>>738727880Snk should wait a bit till it's itsuno gets fucked by the chinese then hire him to make a new svc
>>738729124Surely you mean as a fan of SNK's past work, not a current snk fan, right?
>>738728849Unlike china who is very poor. But they actually know where to invest for growth and a better future.
>>738729441Tekken is fucking awful, nobody who plays real fighting games wants anything to do with it.
>>738729471They could actually grab him and that Yakuza guy that had his game killed by the Koreans
>>738727880digging the oatmeal cookie's corpse out and putting it as head of the studio would've made for a better decision
>>738727880Kekkensissies got cucked again
>>738729636Not really, 8 is mostly a work of his and his gaijin lackey so I hope they take Murray too as a bonus.
>>738729738>he thinks harada hasn't been in the cuck shed for yearslmao dude they soft retired him years ago, he was just a public face of the brand
>>738728353I can think of something crazier
kek he hates everyone there including Murray, they 100% backstabbed him
>>738729552But are they true Scotsmen?
>>738729559You'd have to be retarded to hire Nagoshi now after he was going to go forty million over budget to maybe one day possibly finish his game.
>>738728767>tranime
>>738727880Maximum impact chads how are we feeling?
>>738729984He does make good games, he clearly just needs someone to hold his leash. Probably willing to let himself be recollared after murdering a studio
>Reddit is already in meltdown about thiskek
now all he has to do is tekken again but with a movelist people can actually understand.
>>738729984I mean, they probably already have a lot of shit done in that game already. It's probably worth the risk if they want the company to become more popular.
>>738727880So Bandai was the problem?
>>738728341Harada hates Nintendo with all his soul and Bamco couldn’t afford to not publish their games on the Switch anymore so he had to leaveNotice how after he left suddenly a lot of Switch ports got announced
>>738729552Anything you can cope and say about Tekken is 1000000x worse for SNK. Nobody gives a shit about anything SNK. They've gained zero new fans in over 10 years. Every single game they've released since 2016 has had zero impact anywhere, and their latest game was in the Top 3 most embarrassing, devastating flop in Fighting Games. Really, I don't know how SNK fans even have the audacity keep trying to shit on anything else. Their company literally can't succeed no matter what, because they're so retarded and talentless. They can't even compete with niche Anime Fighters these days. The only reason they even still exist is because of dumb Brown dessert men with a lot of money.
>>738727880can't wait for the new title in 2030! version 0.6 alpha in early access!
>>738730234Look what happened to Soul Calibur. They are the issue.
>>738730234look at LITERALLY every single Namco franchise nowadays, of course they are
>>738730067Now post how May looks in modern SNK games.
>>738730234>New Ghost in the Shell anime, financed by Bandai NamcoProbably more an issue with the tekken team.
>>738727880>Don't ask me for Sprites™YIKES.
>>738728341too much meddling from bamcohe'd have a much stronger position to do whatever he wants (within budget) at snk
>>738730067which side?
10 years ago this would have been pretty exciting. But it's very hard to be interested in his next project after what Tekken 7 and Tekken 8 became. His "don't ask me for shit" persona gradually becoming more and more embarrassing as the games he was attached to became worse and more impossible to defend.
>>738730348>Maylol tertiary
>>738728849I thought the Saudis were restructuring their investments. That money might vanish from under them.
Maximilian Dood's response to this will be defining, given that he's a huge Resetera fag but he knows that badmouthing this project will likely leave a mark on his stay in the industry.
Unless SNK gives him "graphics" to make something similar to Tekken, it's DOA, nobody wants to play the poors man version of an existing game.
>>738728341Scamco-Bandai gonna Scamco. He got tired of having to defend/hypeman bullshit like the Juggle 8 Battlepass that Scamco added.It's just funny he's going from one Jew Master to another (though this one is Arabic). SNK really isn't that much better.Once he has to add TESUOOOOOOOOO or whatever the fuck Ronaldo's trademark is, he's gonna be just as miserable.
>>738727880I hope they force Harada to put Messi and Djokovic in his game.
>>738730439It's not exciting because of modern absurd release cycles. As if anyone gives a fuck about a harada lead SNK game in 6 years.
>>738727880>More Saudi shitWho cares?
>>738730451This easy? They must pay you fractions of cents in the slave part of the city they keep you in for shilling saudipoop.
Too bad SNK can't release a good game to save their fucking lives nowadays. If it wasn't for Saudi blood money that studio would be dead in the water anyways and their IPs would be held by competent studios.
>>738730383Bamco's anime division is the only one doing things right. Like, they are sitting on Gundam, the single greatest mecha franchise ever, and it had precisely 0 good videogames in its almost 50 year history. That should tell you all you should know about them.
>>738727880Harada, you can't just make KOF and other SNK games be more dead than they already are.
>>738730439Man in retrospect I really felt how bad things would get and picked the ideal jump off point as T7 season 1 ended. Absolute embarrassment of a product for its time and for the series as a whole.
>>738730239harada likes the newest kirby air riders.
>>738728849>Saudi has infinite moneyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWq2eovHy_o
>>738730348
>>738730613If only they fucking port the latest version of Gundam EXVS2...
>>738730613MERCHANDIZING MERCHANDIZINGWHERE DA REAAAAL MONEY FROM THE IP IS MADE!
>>738730508Go back and stay back.
>>738730260truest takethough with how far snk has fallen, anyone with even a semblance of talent can only improve snk, even if minimal af>>738730348>may lee>not mai, but may leeidiot
>>738727880>Virtua Fighter designer leaves Sega, goes to Namco to design Tekken>leaves after Tekken 2, a group of new guys take over the franchise>their number slowly dwindles down until only one man from that group is left, Harada>now Harada is leaving Namco to make a fighter for SNK
SNKREDEMPTION ARCBEGINNING
>>738730546>not even voiced by ronaldo himself????
>>738729272Suuuuure you don't.
>I totally know SNK! They got that Kieyuu guy and Eyeyori and um May Sureanui and Hamaru samurai guy and Kaeda
>>738727880Another arab added to the mix.
>>738730727>blurry youtube screenshot>not showing faceOh no no no
>>738730613>they are sitting on Gundam, the single greatest mecha franchise ever, and it had precisely 0 good videogames in its almost 50 year history. They didn't get the right formula to profit, also, the mecha genre is not as popular as before, Armored Core is probably the most close to a proper mecha game, Also, Bamco didn't get proper budget to OPM to JC Staff for the season 3.
>>738727880>Look up Harada'a works to see if he's made anything substantial besides Tekken recently that would warrant a new studio.>Shadow Labyrinth is a 2025 action-adventure game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is part of the Pac-Man series,WTF. Is this like a modern day Bomberman Zero lmao, can't believe no one has talked about this
>>738730840Ronaldo sounds like he has anal leakage IRL.
heyeveryone give it up for MAY shiranui
>he makes a new SNK fighter>you do a simple punch>POGGERS HEAT MODE ACTIVATED BRO, PRESS HEAT BUTTON TO DO A SUPER DUPER ATTACK!>repeat each round
>>738730260Surprised Guilty is still holding that strong nearly a decade later.
>>738728429I loved the 3d KOFs and it will be a day 1 buy for me if they ever announce a new one or a re-release collection
>>738730613I thought the Gundamn Overwatch clone was alright, but it had clear balance and map issues. Gameplay wise it was solid enough. Just needed Scamco to properly support it.
>>738730662>one of the biggest Sakurai bootlickers likes one of his pet projectsThat's not even remotely noteworthy.
>>738730993COTW is literally just EX to EX to EX combos over and over. Feinting + EX on block is also supremely positive. The stuff SNK makes now isn't any less unga and volatile than anything else out. Just way uglier.
>>738730260Fighting games are on their way out honestly. Only Tekken and SF will remain alive...and shitty.
>>738727880SNK bros, we are so back! It’s going to SNK vs C*pcom all over again. Now we just need Sega to get back into the console business and all will be right with the world.
>>738730260>UNI2>Very niche anime fighter>Mogs COTW, Invincible VS and MK1And holy shit Strive still going strong. 2.0 ftw.
>>738730993I can't wait until they add the next Final Fantasy protagonist to the game so he can fill the screen with eight billion particles every time he does a 1 jab (it activates his Omega state which gives him +15 frames on block for every attack)
I don't think he will be making fighting games there
>>738730940AC6 is not Bamco, it's From knocking on Bamco's door and saying "hey we have game, publish game". It's not like they aren't making Gundam games. It consistently got vidya pretty much since its inception, like, the first one was in 1982 or something, just a couple years after the first anime. The problem is that none of them are good.
>>738730993Look at this stupid faggot unaware that this is how current SNK games are too.A man who made a shitty game has moved to a company that makes shitty games.
>>738731359>the fighting game company hired the guy that only every made fighting games in his life, but I don't think he will be involved with making fighting games
>>738731436METAL SLUG
>>738729224LMFAO
>>738728429MI2/2006 was a blast desu
>>738728341Scamco didn’t greenlight his idolmaster fighting game
>>738731482Irrelevant, and I say this as a Metal Slug fan. Tactics flopped.
>>738730613Scamco, the masters of doing nothing but gacha and arcade games with Gundam
>>738731359A new art of fighting (2d), samurai shodown (rpg) and metal slug (run and gun 2d) are being made, he's making a 3d fighting game. Could even be the new KoF
So the new art of fighting will be a 3d fighter?
>>738729224does talent really make games better?
>>738731348There's no need to be upset.IFRIT!!!!!!!
>>738727880Forever proof Namco has absolutely no money whatsoever now. It was always about money and SNK bought Harada out.>"Don't ask me for shit!" (unless its Saudi Arabia money)
>>738727880SNK only makes fighting games why are tbey making a new studio for fighting games?
>>738731609they already said they're done with fighting games for a while after the latest Art of Fighting
>>738731609Perhaps Harada wants to make something that isn't a fighting game.
>>738731687ehrm akthually sweaty, they release mobile gacha trash with their IPs quite often!
>>738731609Branching out to subgenres or different formats.Example Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs Capcom 3 were made by different studios.
>>738731482ROCKET LAWN CHAIR
>>738731436I think he left Bamco mostly because all he could work on there was Tekken. He probably wants to make different stuff.
didn't he die?
>>738727880SNK has unlimited money but they're wasting it like retardssimply just>do a 1v1 kof game (yes i know kof is supposed to be teams but fuck it, kof brand is stronger than ff)>modern graphics instead of ps2 one>great netcode and little to no bugs AT LAUNCHsimple hope harada whips them into shape
>>738731348I'll take if it's this cutie for tekken 9.
>>738731195yeah man he hates nintendo so much he listed a nintendo game as his favorite.
>>738731789No that was Oatmeal-san
>>738731609They announced they are making a Samurai Shodown ARPG, so they want to make more things other than just fighting games now that they are expanding.
>>738731605In the end, it's all about money. If it takes oil money to save gaming, so be it.
>>738731759A new fighting game for someone that only made the fucking same asset flip fighter that uses animations from the fucking PS1 games to this day is something different.
wonder what maximillian will think about this *audibly shits pants*
>>738731842Oh right. Think Harada was talking about his death and that's why.
Out of touch SNKfag who mostly just plays 2D fighting games. How bad is Tekken currently? I haven’t played one since 5. Is SoulCalibur still cool?
>>738727880He's just going to make KoF even worse isn't heHe totally won't make Twinklestar Sprites 2 and make it work where Star99 failed ;_;
>>738730993>>738731348>Producers come up with game design choices and mechanicsLook up who is directing Tekken 8 and on what he worked on before. That's the reason why the game is like that, if you connect the dots (but you wont because you're clearly retarded).
chances of this new game equalling tekken?
>>738731117i like it better than overwatch and marvel rivals, but it gets a lot of flak from being "not really a gundam game"also the director was mad obsessed on making an esports scene which is why he happily pulled the plug once he saw it wasn't working out
>Killed Tekken & SC to make way for total SNK domination in the fighting spaceHoly based
>>738731945> How bad is Tekken currently?it's the worse modern fighting game by far, with no bright future ahead of it. It's only been downhill since Tekken 6 with shitty new chars and Murray leading the game design
>>738731980zerocan't remember a single worthwile game in a series of>from the makers ofsubgenre
>>738730949I played this, it was directed by the director of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror and it's the first time he directed a game since that one came out in 2004. It's a unique brand of dogshit.
>>738730595Who hurt you?
>>738732094dishonored
>>738730993tekken 7 is harada's last heavily involved tekken gamehe was basically hands off in tekken 8
>>738732069It's the director of these games who is ruining them. The guy who came up with Reversal Edge in SC6 also came up with the Heat System in T8.
>>738732186SNK hurt me by completely botching the KOF franchise outside of Central/South America. I fucking LOVE KOF 98/02/UM and adore the old Fatal Fury titles. If SNK had half a brain, they'd re-release 02UM and 98FM on Steam with GGPO support. That shit does gangbusters and they're the #2 and #3 most played games on Fightcade with hundreds of people in the lobbies.
>>738731945Season 1 was a cheap damage festSeason 2 was casino fest for everyoneSeason 3 is turning down most of the things (70% done), the content creators they still care about the franchise need to provide more feedback to praise the casuals and the competitive scene to the devs to keep the fix and think bigger for the next year.
>>738732186SNK
>>738732394Should have just blocked that shit, nigga.
>>738727880compared to the average nip, harada is competentat the very least he knows the graphics shouldn't look like shit
>>738732349Season 1 was a casino with no table games just slots and zero compsSeason 2 was a casino with no table games just slotsSeason 3 is a casino with no table games but is bringing in video poker
>>7387319457 was ok.8 crashed the series into a ravine.
>>738731945the guy who killed soulcalibur designed tekken 8
>>738727880I wonder if this is a Hideaki Itsuno DMC2 situation. SNK has been working on a new AOF/Buriki One game for a while, maybe development has not been going well and they got the best man for the job now that he's free
>>738731719metal gear but in ikari setting
>>738732194>dead and buried after two games and a black DLCWho?
Can we finally have Metal Slug 8 and that Samurai Shodown RPG, both of which were promised years ago?
>>738732075>it's the worse modern fighting game by farT8 has problems but it's not 2XKO
>>738727880>he really was fired from Bamcokek
>>738732696>thinking tekken 8 begun with all the casinoCasino fest begun on Leroy on Tekken 7 season 3, it's not new.
>>738732696So it's 75% SNK then? This double-speak really doesn't help him.
>>738732809meant for >>738732527
>>738732836are you retarded? he's just saying it's not under the management of SNK
can new IP fighters even succeed? feels like they always just die after launch and everyone goes back to SF6 or Smelee
guy sold frame data as DLC btw
>>738732894Difficult but not impossible.
fighting games sucks
>>738732696so high chance it's not going to use an snk ip?
>>738732865>it's a completely separate independent studio>also it's managed by SNK??????
Realistically speaking, what could possibly come of this? The fighting game dev space signed off of doing 3D correctly something like 20 years ago. SF4, SF5, SF6, MK9, MKX, MK11, MK1, T6, T7, T8, Lethal League, Lethal League Blaze, and every anime fighter that doesn’t use 2D art do not warrant a purchase over an HD port of Dark Resurrection, VF5 R.E.V.O., or one of the pre-reboot DOA games or even Soul Calibur 6. We have Virtua Fighter 6 on the horizon, promising to be the best fighting game released since DR. What the hell could the replacement Tekken guy bring to the Fatal Fury team that would even matter at that point?
>>738732903how do you think this was him doing that when he released tekken tag 2, and bamco has a history of being the jewiest company ever
>>738727880every time you hear about some game dev resigning a company is because they were pushed out. In Japan you don't get fired, you are sent to a banishment room where they give you minial work until you feel useless and can't take it anymore.In Japan you are expcted to work for the same company forever so if these fuckers are resigning on their own to join other companies then something is wrong, espcially if they are in big positions such as VC, directions, producer. Company board members probably tell them to leave the company.It happaned to Kojima after MGSV when he left Konami to make kojima Productions.Probably happened with Hideaki Itsuno after Dragons Slopma 2 stlopped so he left Capcom to join LighSpeed Studio.Same with that Monkey Ball Yakuza goon wanna be who made Yakuza series but he left Sega and moved to China and now he is back to making Gang of Dragon under his studio, Nagoshi Studio Inc.When Harada announced he was resigning from Namco it was pretty obvious he was being pressured to resign from Namco because Tekken 8 was a flopslop.
>>738732809Tekken 7 was not a casino. Sure we had armor moves that could defeat some pressure and the retarded cinematic rage arts, but you are out of your mind if you think the extreme pressure and rampant stance 50/50s existed in T7. For example, Heihachi had his classic mid/low waveu mixup pressure, but they could be read and if you were cracked in the moment you could react to the lows for parries. Now in Turd8, he has a free stance that gives him unreactable true 50/50s and can just loop it as soon as he gets oki.
>>7387319800fighting games are very niche and they are being held by old fans. Look that that LoL fighting game, it has a huge fanbase but nobody cares. Fightans are dead
>>738732946Frierenfag opinions have no value beyond giving me an opportunity to tell you that Frierenfags' opinions have no value
>>738732903Bamco's doing. watch the video he's 100% tired of their shit and quit
>>738732321>If SNK had half a brain, they'd re-release 02UM and 98FM on Steam with GGPO support. That shit does gangbusters and they're the #2 and #3 most played games on Fightcade with hundreds of people in the lobbies.oh you're another retard, got it
>>738732974>pre reboot DOA gamesWhat?
>>738733295Wasn’t DOA the one that got a shitty desexualized reboot recently?
>>738733021>He doesn't remember the leroy fest from Evo Japan 2020Don't you remember how broken was Leroy on Tekken 7 season 3, it was the beginning of all powered chars on the meta?, harada left the lead team after season 2 and Murray/Nakatsu took charge, leroy was the first on the casino meta, after, fakh and Kunimitsu.
>>738733067strive is a breakout hit
>>738732956But he calls us "retarded" for seeing through the double-speak. It's funny how stupid Harada dickriders are.
He’s working on a new AES+ game
>>738732949SNK has KOF studio that is specifically dedicated to making fighting games, i wonder if he will make fighting games at all in the first place
>>738733414that's a whole different problem from casino 50.50
>>738733340If you mean DOA6 no it's a sequel it's still has the same story. Or if you think reboot means desexualized less fanservice shit then that's retarded.
>Speaking to 4Gamer, Harada said that the games he makes in the future won’t deviate from the action and competitive player-versus-player elements he’s known for.>The producer also wouldn’t rule out working on SNK’s own fighting game franchises in the future. “Speaking personally, there are certainly things I’d like to do,” he said, when asked about potentially working on SNK’s IP.“However, since it belongs to SNK, I can’t really say anything too freely.>Harada said he’s still recruiting for VS Studio, but one former colleague who’s joined him at the new venture is chief creative officer Yuichi Yonemori, the director of multiple Tekken games, including Tekken Tag Tournament 1 & 2SNKbros its over

>>738733640>he director of multiple Tekken games, including Tekken Tag Tournament 1 & 2holy shit this is the best news possible
>>738730595I agree with your first point. They would be dead if not for the Saudi money. SNK were the living dead before they got bought though and where are the competent studios to take it over? Sometimes empires crumble
>>738732956>SNK Corporation (Osaka Japan) is pleased to announce that it has decided to invest in a newly established game development studio founded by Mr. Katsuhiro Harada and welcome it into the group as a subsidiary.> In conjunction with this establishment, SNK Co., Ltd. will support the launch of the new studio and plans to make it a consolidated subsidiary. as harada said, its a studio by him and that it's a not a 100% subsidiary yet . basically snk is funding the studio but has no decision making
That's cool.
>>738734875So... SNK owns it?Congrats, you're repeating Harada's double-speak that we're telling you he's doing.>B-B-BUT HE SAYS HE'S INDEPEND--He's still funded by SNK, SNK owns him.Until he releases something that isn't under the SNK brand, his studio is SNK. Shit, they even made it obvious:>We're within SNK headquartersHOW FUCKING DENSE ARE YOU TO NOT READ BETWEEN THE LINES?
>>738728429Fuckdoll Mai made my dick diamonds
Art of Fighting 4 will be a 3D fighting game. And it'll be done under his new studio.
>>738729441I'd trust the gooks over that fat japjew fuck
>>738735238SOVL...
>>738727880>SNK CEO resigned after how poorly the latest city of the wolves game did>PS4/5, Windows, Xbox >Put one of the biggest sony fanboys in chargeim sure he'll turn things around
>>738735238They have been working on AOF4/Buriki Two for quite a while now while Harada is still recruiting people for his new studio, unless SNK is throwing away all development of AOF so far and starting over Harada is not working on it
>>738730348>May
i think the whole saudi talk is funny because capcom slurpers for some reason act like the 10% the saudi's own isn't a big deal when capcom is massive compared to snk but for some reason snk is the only people who catch hell over it because it's much easier to talk shit about something you dont actually care about
>>738732956>>738733508>>738734875>>738734992Sounds to me like it's the same relationship Intelligent Systems has with Nintendo. Even though they aren't owned by Nintendo, IS used to share a headquarters with a Nintendo division. They'll probably work on mostly SNK stuff but they're technically open to do a non-SNK project too.
>>738735735The problem is that with SNK it's much more blatant and direct. Once you pull off stunts like the one in COTW you can't really fix your reputation as the studio run by saudis
>>738728429I always thought these 3D experiments for 2D games were neat but I never played them and I doubt anybody itt did.
>>738735238His favorite fighting game Samurai Shodown II though. I can see him working on that.
>>738736012the shit they did with cotw was the shit retards have kept telling them to do for years even here,now it's some how a issue when they listen to them
>>738736112I did, MI2 is actually really fun for how broken it is. Lots of singleplayer content surprisingly.
>>738736112i still have my copy of maximum impact 2 from 2006
>>738735735SNK is the only ones that get shit for it because SNK is 96% owned by the Saudis and there's tangible evidence of them forcing stuff on SNK. Do you really think a random DJ and Ronaldo is something SNK wanted to add to their game and wasn't a Saudi mandate? Be for real you retard.
>>738736112You can play it on PCSX2?
>>738736112At one point the MI games were the best selling KOF games in the West.
>>738736112I played both and they are very good, only don't expect them to have many extra modes like tekken/mk/doa games had around the same era, it's like most KoF mainly arcade arcade arcade, Very fun though.>>738736281Played M2 on it and worked fine.
>>738727880There is no money to be made in fighting games. Absolutely none.SNK is a company that only does that, and they are 2nd rate within that niche at best.Saudis putting money into SNK is a vanity purchase, not an investment. It's no different from an oil prince owning a pet tiger. He does it because he wants to and he has already bought everything else in his wish list.
>>738736112>i never played it so nobody else did eitherretard
>>738728429i was emulating this game just recently. its actually not bad at all. the worst thing about it is that it is a 2D game with a 3D skin. but the janky side step can be quite good. the Ai will fk you if you dont know how to play.
>>738736804jivatma is a faggot and honestly on of my most hated snk bosses to fight against
>>738735735People complained about that too dude, stop making up whataboutisms
>>738735103Is a 2 seconds animation during a special move a representative how Mai looks in modern games?
>>738736139>Knows Bamco will never make Soul Calibur 7>Goes to SNKto make a 3D weapons fighterI kneel
>>738737551>Knows Bamco will never make Soul Calibur 7Correct if I'm wrong but wasn't Harada only mildly in support of SC? After all it competed internally against Tekken in the past so I don't see it as something he would aim for.
>funded by Saudi SoNo swimsuits Safe horny only Forced Saudi character Forced real life cameos All headed by an out of touch dude who hasn’t done real development since Tekken 4?Wow, can’t wait to ignore this garbage
>>738738163retard
>>738733889>the vice president >theYou are a retarded zoomer that thinks a company has a president and a vice president like it’s a government or something You are not qualified to talk about businessShut your jeet ass up
>>738735030for me it was Jenet
>>738727880
>>738738163kof 14, 15, and heroines were saudi games and they're nothing like your assumption
>>738738223Refute even one pointI’ll wait
>>738737105nta but there's a difference between some complaints being made about it and what's going on with SNK where you can't say anything about the company without being flooded with>AAAAAA SAUDI BLOOD MONEY AAAAAAcomments.
>>738738569see >>738738557
>>738738517TrueThat bimbo doll model is top tier
>>738738163>No trannies>No jewsBased
>>738738557>heroinesnta but what was the plan there? It's not even a complete game and they didn't even use the hot skins like cow Mai in later games.
>something happens to SNK>internet immediately deploys people that beat the same saudi and ronaldo dead horse and act like none of the modern SNK fighters are goodIt's like clockwork.Even with the Saudi stuff, I don't get the amount of hate that SNK gets. Even itt anons just make it sound like the cardinal sins of CotW are that it isn't mainstream enough and doesn't have realistic graphics.
>>738738918>act like none of the modern SNK fighters are goodwhich ones are good?
>>738735735>like the 10% the saudi's own>10%SNK was bought in full by the Electronic Gaming Development Company, a subsidiary of the Misk Foundation.
>>738735735When Capcom starts forcing real life guests into games because they are owned by saudis then I will start shitting on them for being Saudi owned.
>>738739030KOFXV and CotWThe Samsho reboot was also good, although they butchered the PC release on that one.
>>738732098Incredible, thanks for the background
>>738738918The sin of cotw is it not looking that nice despite having the infinite budget they now have. If fucking arcsys with their small than snk team can make games that look good why can't they? Also what the fuck did they do to jenet's face when every other girl's face is fine?
>>738739037But aren't people saying>Saudis are bad, never support their blood money productsand not>Saudi's are bad, but if they only partially own a company and put their blood money into it then it's okayLike if you're against supporting a group, you should be against supporting them in any way. Not giving them a pass because they only own X% of a company.
>>738738918If people didn't shit on the surface level shit like Ronaldo, Saudis or the Graphics then they'd have to try and talk shit about the gameplay.And the best you'll get from most people on that front is that it has no "sauce" (tl: There isn't particle effect vomit on the screen every 3 seconds and people actually play neutral.)
>>738727880Yes we want a messi X ronaldo fighterz so bad
This used to be a joke
>>738737551>>Knows Bamco will never make Soul Calibur 7He killed any chances of it doing well because he's still hipholocausted about SC2 selling best on Gamecube and having Steam rape the PS4 with SCVIBasically Playstation is the 2nd-to-last-worst option for gamers next to Xbox, even Steam is more appealing
Harada killed tekken. Dude fell off so fucking hard. Whatever game he makes is going to be a disaster lol
>tfw you will live to see Harada beheaded
>>738728341It's another case of hackfraud japanmememan getting yet another chance to grift because he worked on something good 3 decades ago
>Buriki One>Samsho going 3D again>KOF Maximum Impact>etcIt'll be interesting to see which IP he ends up working with, there's a lot of possibilities there.
>>738739316dont bother fgc will always beat around the bush with this topic
>>738728401Based
>>738738918fgc will latch on to snk long enough for them to get cvs3 out of it,they don't actually care about it
>>738740334Samsho Sen 2 when
>>738729135What do the chinese have to do with Nintendo?
>>738740973CvS3 wouldn't even be as good as 1 or 2 considering the characters would have to be 3D
>>738728868Of course they champion a paid shill like Maxishillian Dude.
>>738738918>and act like none of the modern SNK fighters are goodBecause they aren't. Thank you for playing TSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!
>>738727880When people grow up they realize that the people making the games they love are the reasons why they love the games they made and they stop giving a shit about IPs and they start following the people who made the games they love wherever they go.
>>738741076Nigga just hates job security and probably thinks Nagoshi and Harada floating around is based in some sort of Jack Kerouac way
>Thread about general gaming topic>Retarded tendie makes it about them seething about some boogeymenEvery time with this shit
>
>>738730234Bamco is basically a licensed cashgrab sweatshop nowadays.
>we might finally get good SNK female chars 3D models thanks to Harada of all people
>>738741342Based. This is why we hate Harada, because he destroys things when they don't get popular in the way he wants them to. He's not even worthy of eating Itagaki's dumps. He made Devil's Third, for fuck's sake.
>>738739316You can't avoid evil from everything you buy, but it saudis, jews, corpo bugmen, or any other group you don't like. It is ultimately up to people to determine where their boundaries are, and 10% is a much easier pill to swallow for most than 100%, in the same way that blackrock has invested in bandai scamco. But unlike for SNK, blackrock or saudis aren't putting djs or soccer players into SF or Tekken.
>>738741431he started bootlicking Saudis earlier than anyone else and even dragged Ono (Capcom) into it, how are people even surprised lmao
>>738727880Bankrolled by dubai
>>738741668Chocolate arc when
>>738728868>ResetEraIf veganism was a forum
>>738735984>Intelligent SystemsThat's actually a good comparison. They're all but officially first party. They just go "NOOOO WE ARE TOTALLY INDEPENDENT!" while being bankrolled by Nintendo.Same thing here. Harada is SNK. Until he pulls a Kojima and shows he's working with another company (Sony->Microsoft in Kojima's case and even then Sony only bankrolled funding the studio and allowed Kojima huge latitude in porting his things to non-Sony consoles past the first title [and a minor exclusive period IIRC?]), he's SNK now over Namco.He (and SNK, I guess) are just trying to save face with double-talk so he isn't "HARADA IS OWNED BY THE SAUDIS NOW!"d, which is happening anyway.
>>738728868>Maximilian DoodEWEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
>>738741585What? Tekken models are not that goodI would give it to You if it was pizza face on this venture but his is dead at most kof games or such are start having nonsense or well Even more non story since Harada really doesnt give a shit
>>738741289most fgctubers are massive faggots regarding the saudi shit, they complain about it but also still avidly play and make content about street fighter,still go out to tournaments etc
>>738731359Does SNK do anything besides fighting games these days?
>>738741965Unless you go out of your way to find unflattering camera angles, yes they are.
>>738742298they're supposed to be working on another samurai shodown rpg in the future and keep teasing another metal slug
>>738742357Isn't that render? In-engine models look pretty bad on Unreal Engine.
>>738742298They have been hiring people for different projects for a while. The known ones so far that aren't fighters are the new Metal Slug and the action RPG Samurai Shodown
>>738732293Based
>>738742298They did Metal Slug Tactics which flopped.I tried the demo and wasn't too impressed. I still have it on my Wishlist for a deep discount (like CotW), but it wasn't what I was expecting a "tactics" game to do.Oh wait, apparently DotEmu did it and it was just licensed I.P.'d from SNK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1590760/Metal_Slug_Tactics/
>>738727880Were literally any of SNK's 3D fighting games good?
>>738741668Dubai is UAE not KSA.
>>738742298they said multiple times after the new fatal fury, art of fighting will be their last inhouse fighting game for a while, and also confirmed a new metal slug and new samurai shodown, the last one will be an action game
>>738742630about as good as most 3d fighters not named tekken or doa at that time so ok at best
Can VF save the genre?
>>738742630Not really. Hell, even Street Fighters attempt wasn't good.That whole era of "let's try to 3D-ize 2D gameplay" was terrible. It took until Arc rotoscoped Sprites to actually "nail" the "3D model with 2D gameplay" look/effect.
>>738742924>Can series Sega forgot until recently and killed all good will with a bunch of changes in the attempt to chase eSport money be good?No. And I say this as someone that was hyped for VF6. All the R.E.V.O. patches since it launched has just killed my interest dead.
>>738742924unironically Dead or Alive 7 if they follow their new DoA 6 trend of not giving a shit about esports
>>738742924With every big fg tournament my hopes for this game to actually exist fade away because they haven't shown anything for more than a year now. I think they did some footage for a couple of teasers to get investors happy and then paused development.
>told everyone Harada got kicked after ruining Tekken AND Soul Calibur>nah man, he is just retiring and becoming a family man LOL>rat bastard already managed to latch into another company
Koei Tecmo are fucking retards when it comes to fighting games though
>>738742883False, old SNK 3D games were borderline unplayable messes with PS2 tier visuals
>>738727880Wow, now they can double up on the western pandering censorship. Can't wait to see the fridge body notits women in burkas they design next!
>>738743170It's honestly shocking how fast he did it, not even six months.>Oh, I'm retiring>I'm gonna DJ one set like I promised at a Juggle event :(>I'm SNK now! :)
>>738743126Ah yes the break meter.
>>738742924americans dont play vf so it will be forgotten
>>738743253>PS2 tier visualsAnon they WERE on the PS2
>>738743126Nice "trailer". Worth wasting the 30 minute exhibition spot.https://youtu.be/eqKxb-CSR0Y?si=aqq0gySn4XQK8WS_
>>738743253>with PS2 tier visualsthey were on the ps2 you idiot, so either you're just fucking retarded or just a zoomer
>>738743431I mean during the PS3-4 gens. They only started looking slightly less horrible in recent years
>>738742357He said models.
>>738742425Bro there are many, many valid complaints about Tekken 8 but the visuals aren't one of them. The visual noise fine. But the models and stages look fantastic. This is medium settings on a 1070.
>>738743252Taking over the 3D fighting genre is genuinely the easiest lay-up ever for any company that gives a shit, but KT and Sega are both showing that they are completely incapable of delivering even the bare minimum so far.
>>738743534snk didn't really release much during the ps3-4 era most of their old 3d games were doing the ps2 or before
>>738743253>PS2 games had PS2 visualsGood observation. I couldn't tell.
>Harada said he’s still recruiting for VS Studio, but one former colleague who’s joined him at the new venture is chief creative officer Yuichi Yonemori, the director of multiple Tekken games, including Tekken Tag Tournament 1 & 2
>>738736990i have no reference. its the only snk game i played. i think ijust cheesed him with full defense and always punish one specific move he does. butterfly lady before him fkd me up quite good a bunch of times. fk zoners in 2D games. it feels like playing fish in a barrel.
>>738743534The only 3D title during the Playmore era was SamSho Sen. KOFXIV looked like a PS3 game.
>>738743552>that hair>looks fantasticYep, that's Unreal Engine alright. Looks garbage.
>>738728429
>>738744123What a predictable 4chan response. Nitpick something, disregard everything else, present an opinion as fact.
There is another fighting game director who is also unemployed, just saying
>>738743126>not giving a shit about esportsBased
>>738741076The yamauchi family is chinese.
>>738744242he's literally the CEO of Fate Grand Order company, he "left" twitter since he's too rich now anyways
>>738744242Good, they all need to live in cardboard boxes in a parkIf they want to survive then they can fight bums for coins and learn how to make a REAL fighting game with real stakes
>>738729128Yes, but also unlimited arab meddling.
it's The Last Blade 3(d)
>>738727880Maybe he'll teach them how to make a game that looks like it came out this decade.
>>738728353I actually wouldn't mind that. It'd be something to differentiate it and AOF3 alreaady plays slightly 3Dish with the chain combos and movesets and stuff. It would at least prevent it from playing like another KoF clone like what they did with CotW.
>>738744841He needs to do that himself first
>>738744841harada games reused animations from 1997
>>738745105So?
Even with Harada gone from tekken the-dude-who-seethes-at-tekken is still seething over him lamo
>>738745438so he's the last retard to talk about getting on with the times, like any boomer jap dev
>No it's not my choice I'm forced to jew the players!!!!>gets fired>immediate goes to Saudi moneyLMAO yeah ok
>>738736112you have to understand, they were trying to do new things back then instead of rehashing the same game over and over
>>738745482aris?
>>738728849They have as much money as the Saudis give them and the Saudis only seem to give them the money needed to make CotW an advertising platform, not hiring actually skilled graphic artists or musicians or devs or anything like that.
>>738730940All mecha games suck because everything is scaled down to human size.Mecha games should feel claustrophobic your mecha should take up most of the real estate on the screen and buildings should be grazing your shoulder. Instead you're always the smallest figure on the screen.Also I find it laughable that the creator of Lucky Chloe and the Heat System had no power at Namco so much he had to leave the company.
>>738731264CotW is jus KoF XV with some 3S and Dix mechanics slapped on. It's an utter abomination of a game. I just wanted Real Bout 3.
>>738731945The problem with Tekken is that at some point in T7 Scamco's corporate suits took over the game and put Murray in charge. Harada basically got turned into a mascot having to defend shit he clearly disagreed with until he finally left.
Playing Tekken 8 is basically playing Modern Yu-gi-oh.
>>738736261Not just them. Kenshiro is in the game to advertise the currently airing CGI slopfest anime. I hate playing something and having it be used to advetise other shit. It's like trying to watch current WWE where half of every othe show is made to advertise other shit from TKO/Endeavor/Netflix instead of just doing the shit I'm watching the fucking show for.I play Fatal Fury to play Fatal Fury, not to see advertisements soccer leagues, boxing matches, anime and Slop Fighter Dix.
>>738728767>>738730239>>738735452>>738739939Jesus Christ not even Jews have a victim complex this big. Take your fucking meds
>>738747471Now you understand tekkucks are the Jeffrey Epstein of FGC. This is what we Tekken boomers have been trying to tell you since the time of begining.
>>738748047two of those are nintendo niggers they're a big issue on /v/ nowadays
>>738748047It was about nintendogs not whatever schizo bullshit you're talking about.>weThere is no we nigger, speak in your name or shut the fuck up
>>738746708Pot of Greed still banned?
>harada and SNK thread>tendies still find a way to be the victimsthe jews of gaming
>>738747471Shut the fuck up Harada, try making a good game for once you sweaty pig
>>738749209I will whenever I manage to escape your head. At least I'm not paying rent.
>>738749295Why don't you do it now so you don't end up in an infidel beheading rekt thread on /gif/ you traitorous cocksucker
>>738736012>>738736192what did they do?
>>738728341i think it's because the esports divisions and marketing divisions have a lot of influence over fighting games so devs just have to sit there and watch their game be ruined by people who dont even play. first thing he cites in the video announcement is having total creative control
>>738745591>No it's not my choice I'm forced to jew the playersthis is true though, the way these companies operate is basically "put in the monetization or we will make your life miserable until you quit". in america it's "put in the monetization or we will fire everybody" and then if they don't make enough money they fire everybody anyways.
>>738728429>>738735030its funny how good aspects of ps2 kof look
>>738738316Uh oh kojimbo faglord melty.
>>738727880How much is he gonna pay me to fuck off?
>>738728097>Japan hates NRS stuff>Last MK released there was MK3.Uh....
>>738744841SNK games routinely sell 5 copies, so they have a budget to match.
>>738750365The issue with MK in Japan is that the games are almost certainly going to be rated CERO Z (their equivalent of an AO rating) without extremely heavy censorship, and at that point why even bother?
>>738750181It's a late era PS2 game that looks like a late era PS2 game. Also it has relatively fine art direction and looks about what you'd think 3D KoF would look like. Modern SNK games have absolutely terrible art direction with the sole excepion of SamSho.
>>738750545is there anybody who even gives a single shit about age ratings anymore
>>738750675It matters when you're the only game in your genre that makes people show ID when they try to buy it.
>>738750675Publishers do, but in MK case CERO would just block due extreme violence.NRS don't even bother doing anything for japan and Warner just tell people to import despite movies releasing there.
This nu-snk shit really exposes jews and jeets it's funny
>>738728341He got fired for that unknown 9 fiasco wasting hundreds of millions
So, will Harada break the mold or will he be exposed as another has-been? So far, most "veterans" who make their own studio haven't really been successful.
>>738751560harada was smart enough to take good talent with him, he has the ttt and ttt2 director on his team
>>738749960That's real fucking ironic considering he's jumping ship to a company that shoehorned fucking Messi and Salvatore Ganacci into their premiere fighting game, which flopped. Despite his claim of "total creative control," I have a feeling that mid-development, Mr. Salman will ask (force) Harada into including some other celebrity to which Harada will say "mashallah, yes Master!"
>>738751930they've kinda pulled back on that shit since the horrible reaction, unless you count kenshiro (which you shouldn't). everything else has been all fatal fury characters
>>738750178 It's not like the suits are in there personally coding the cash shop, anon. Devs still sign off on it and cash the checks. Acting like they're hostages with a gun to their head is pure cope. If your “creative vision” folds the second marketing waves a quarterly earnings report at you, maybe it wasn’t that strong to begin with. Yeah corpos squeeze everyone, welcome to capitalism, but some of these guys are perfectly happy to design the treadmill and then pretend they were forced to install it. Funny how they only discover their morals after they’ve secured enough clout to jump ship.
>>738751930>MessiYou mean Ronaldo, but yeah. Harada's next game won't even come out until like 2030 anyways, if it ever does. Only time will tell.
Nothingburger. Every Japanese star producer gets fired then says he's retiring then sprouts an 'independent studio' with China or Arabs then makes shit like Death Stranding or makes vaporware like Gang of Dragon. The odds of him making anything good or anything at all is 50/50 like nu-Tekken meta
>>738752250SNK got tekken4-tag2 director, it can be good, however, the characters/art direction, OST are the big question there, they can't make a tekken clone.
>>738727880>HaradayikesY I K E S
>>738751636>15 years and no Tekken tag Tournament 3Can't be THAT good thenWill we get it after Chigyuu Pig kisses Ka'ba pussy at Mecca?
>>738730234>So Bandai was the problem?ALWAYS but come on now, bruva. you don't need to ask this
>>738752725Maybe if Harada wasn't such a fag his company wouldn't have needed to be bought out
>>738733541Actually interesting info.Yes, focused on 2D fighting games.....Tekken right now has a monopoly of 3D fighting games.>Soul Calibur is dead and there are no plans of reviving the series. Harada could EASILY make a spiritual successor.>DOA is okay, but is mostly fan service>Virtua Fighter... well who know when the hell that's coming out.I doubt he'll go head to head with Tekken as a first project cause failure would tank SNK... but for a 2nd project or a 3D KOF game.... oh yeah, I see it.>However keep in mind Harada has championed more controversial casual mechanics in games.... so there is a concern what he works on could be a lot more gimmicky and casual
>>738752881An SC-style game with the SamSho IP would be dope
>>738752881I hit submit too soon.I think the plan is to utilize Harada to make 3D games for them and non 2D fighters.And not just 1 3D fighter.>Soul Calibur style game will probably be first>Then maybe a Tekken style gameBut there will probably be more>I could see some kinda powerstone like party game>Harada did help with Smash Bros so I could see a platformer fighter.At least that is what I think the SNK strategy is. Harada is probably the most experienced fighting game person around and Bamco was starting to treat him like dog shit.
>>738753330Honestly here is how I see it playing out>Spiritual successor with either SciFi or TransDimentional realms of existence story.>same gameplay, same skimpy outfits and hooks after they check with legal. Maybe some minor gickicks that slightly change it like stage Hazzards or transformation stance.Harada was really open about wanting another soul calibur and how Bamco killed the game and disbanded the people who made it
>>738752717tekken tag 3 wont be out til after tekken 9 it's clear they follow a very specific pattern
>>738752881This is my theory >>738732664I think they want him to make AOF4/Buriki Two. Another option is that they want the SamSho RPG to have a fighting game mode, similar to SoulCalibur
>>738743552Tekken is great.The problem is their patches break the game and piss off fans every season.
>>738741323XV?
>>738753851Based
>>738753832Possible.I think the reason SNK gave him a studio is gonna be to make non 2D fighting games. Given the access to SNK IP that will be great. There is also another possibility.Tekken 7 showed they can make 2D mechanics work in 3D. Harada may make the 3D fighter that appeals to 2D players.
>>738753361Art direction will be critical to Harada's new proyects to get a new audience.>>738753813>Tag 3 Casuals will hate it, not happening
It feels like Harada got out too late to shift the blame for his last shitshow onto anyone else so now nobody really gives a fuck.
SNKGODS keep winning!
>>738754826>Art direction will be critical to Harada's new proyects to get a new audienceThis nigga needs to embrace fan service
>>738755264SNK has been losing for the past 25 years, anon
>>738727880>DON'T ASK ME FOR SHIT>unless its Saudi Arabia money
>>738728058With all the turbulence involved with Warner Brothers, Boon's probably too busy trying to save his own ass.
>>738730546Still never buying City of the Wolves because of this faggot celebrity bullshit
>>738748282Yes, but they made a new format where it is legal but is pointed and you have a 100 point limit
>>738756168Maybe they'll have a format where playing with Rugal is legal.
>>738728401I hope Tekken dies and new 3d fighting game franchises fill it's gap
>>738755650I'm much more interested in Kasumi can I see her instead
>>738733067The Lol fighting game did literally everything wrong.
>>738727880tekken 8 is so ass he ran to the saudis
>>738728813I'm sure working for Saudi princes comes with better perks than sony's business lunches
>>738728429>KoF MI/MI2 (or "2006")>KoF XI>NeoGeo Battle Coliseumabsolute kino era for the company DESU
>>738729912>Harada: I don't want base features or characters as DLC>Scamco in current year>Harada: I am quitting Tekken
>>738753851>Tekken is great.>The problem is that the game is not great, and the patches make it worse.
>>738727880WE GETTING ARAB MONEY
>>738730993I used to think this too, but some of his videos in Harada's Bar, and his work with Pokken proved me wrongTurns out he's really competent
>>738732664>>738753832OD I really love Buriki OneAnd also the PS2 K-1 series, really wish we had more of whatever 'this' is going on
>>738752021>which you shouldn'tWhy not? He's forced into the game to act as promotion for an anime that has nothing to do with Fatal Fury or SNK.
>>738759005 He said that back when he still had a leash on Scamco. Fast forward to T8 and we’ve got frame data subscriptions, legacy characters sold back to you, and battle pass cosmetics nobody asked for. Either he couldn’t stop it or he stopped caring. “I don’t want DLC” hits different when your publisher smells season pass money. Harada quitting Tekken would be the least surprising patch note at this point.
>>738761595He lost his grip, and rather than trying to fight to keep them in check, he actually realized that the current direction was not salvageable.He should be commended just for having eyes.
>>738731687>they already said they're done with fighting games for a while after the latest Art of Fightingsource?Why would they say that when they established KOF Studio not too long ago which is a studio completely dedicated to making fighting games?
>>738761595>Either he couldn’t stop itYeah? That's blatantly obvious. He can say he doesn't want to do it all he wants but when 68-year-old Senior VP Yamada tells you that you're selling Wang Jinrei back to fans for $20 then you don't have a choice.
>>738760186of course he is... he's japanese
Everything good about tekken is because of harada and literally everything bad about tekken had nothing to do with Harada. I've already preordered 500 copies of his new game because there is no way he will ever let us down.
Considering that public perception of Tekken is in the shitter right now, and who knows how the new VF and DoA are going to turn out. This is probably the best possible timing for SNK.The 3D fighting game landscape is wide open right now, give that man Samsho Sen or Buriki One and let him do his thing.
>>738728429What the fuck is that face
>>738727880>go with SNK>he didn't go with Sakurai as a producer to give us Rollback for the next Smash Brosgrim
>>738762853>Focusing on onlineRecipe for a shit game
>>738762592If they add modern graphics and animation quality to Buriki One's unique systems it'd be fucking fantastic
>>738763170It would still sell like shit because nobody cares about Buriki One in 2026.
>>738727880What the fuck? Was Harada lying when he said he wanted to do something else with his life after attending Tomonobu Itagaki's funeral?
>>738753832They can also use Last Blade. But I guess SamSho is 'the more recognizable IP to use.
>>738763250It would sell like shit +1
>>738762853I wanted Harada to join Team Shanghai Alice and convince ZUN to make a Touhou Project fighting game
>>738753832>>738763309Finally I'll have a Hellish Quart equivalent to play online
>>738763371I'd take that too. Joining SNK is a L move desu.SNK is just a puppet with collabs and Saudi money.Licence so ass, Mai celebrates her wedding in SF6 instead of KoF or Cotw lmao.
>>738763443SNK is one of the few companies that is still making good fighting games tho
>>738762592They need to give Hiroaki a dump truck full of Saudi blood money to be their main characte designer/visual director. Ogura is dull as dishwater and a big reason their stuff feels so lifeless.
>>738763558CotW is not a good game.
>>738763817Yes it is.XV is also a good game.Samurai Shodown is also a good game.There are things to shit on SNK for, but game quality is not one of them.
SNK games will never sell well or break into the mainstream.They need to stop.
>>738763309Last Blade is not coming back those games were never popular, best we can hope is more Last Blade characters in SamSho. There is a higher chance of a Metal Slug fighting game coming out than a new Last BladeLast Blade is SNK's Darkstalkers
>>738764083>SNK games will never sell well or break into the mainstream.Good.
>>738727880I thought he said he was retiring because Itagaki passed away and he wanted to spend more time with his family?What made him come back?
>>738764124>Selling like shit is a good thing actually lol
>>738761595>frame data subscriptionI haven't kept up with Tekken since 7, Is that what they're really doing now?
>>738733005you are retarded if you believe that this applies to corporate people that high up the chain.just read some shit online and now you parrot it.
>>738750545I dunno, I'd totally play a version of Mortal Kombat that disables the x-ray effect of X-Rays, only has Friendships instead of Fatalities, and does the Chinese thing where all the blood is replaced with cum
>>738763959>XV is also a good game.Nope. Part of why SNK's games are failing is because they're making fast paced combo heavy unga games to appeal to Brazillians and Mexicans who played pirated versions of KoF 2002 but all that's done is created games that are virtualy impenetrable to all but that small minority of people and hold no appeal to anyone else. And the LatAms are fine with it because they get to have games they dominate in.
Was hoping Harada would be free from fighting games faggotry guess Saudi niggers got too much money to keep him in the FG mines.
>>738727880c-can nagoshi join...?
>>738765940Sure, man. There's a janitor position open if he wants to stop on by.
>>738765981The Man Who Erased His Grime
>>738765545nta but during EVO Japan I just saw the chats bitching that CotW looked too slow and sauceless.They don't make things flashy or fast paced enough for the modern fighting game audience.
>>738746156>I just wanted Real Bout 3.me toomore lane play and ringoutsand less combozzzit even has a ringout stage and lane stage tooso what giveswhy are they having trouble with implementing lanes on ALL stagesi mean look at fucking smash brosevery stage p much has a battlefield and fd versionyou mean to tell me snk sucks at programming things so much they can't do *that*?with 400 people under their wing? gtf outta here
>>738765940Was there any reason to cancel it, or was it all bts stuff?
>>738766030>They don't make things flashy or fast paced enough for the modern fighting game audience.their visuals are also ugly at a standstill and all their characters are sauceless and have no auramaybe they should take a bull whip to their employees until they learn to step up and become talented at their jobs or else they get to meet tyler durden
>>738766097>asked netease for 80m>they knew he would spend most of it on his playboy lifestyle>that said noand now he's being absolutely mogged by Stranger Than Heaven
>>738766170Well at least he announced it before all that happened
>>738766097Nagoshi wastes so much money on IRL face captures and JAV actresses to the point where Netease might have been in the right for once.
>>738766137SNK should just sell their IPs to Capcom.They do a way better job with their characters, Terry actually has sauce for once in his life.
>>738728341Bamco has been pushing that Michael guy to westernize the IP, might as well leave and tap into SNK's Saudi money
>>738727880SNK needs to die
>>738763282Working for snk means unlimited saudi money with very little effort
>>738762853There is no fucking way it isnt supremely awkward having toby there at all.
>>738764203Why do you want the Maxishillian Doods of the worlds leeching your series?
>>738767139nta but having ecelebs talk about a game is a fine trade for actually having a playerbase that's bigger than a couple dozen mexicans
>>738767139>being culturally relevant is a bad thing actually
>>738767139Discord fighting doesn't make money.Bringing people in and making them want to play the game as it is does.
>>738767139Having ecelebs shill your fighting game for free is a good sign though
>>738766815That's why he wasn't invited to the actual non-awkward party
>>738767139What benifit is there to making a fighting game that only appeals to a super niche crowd?
>>738764203>nooooo i must have 750k active online players or it isn't a real game :((( retarded zoomer
>>738766815Another one without him
>>738766815Sakruai unironically likes the guy, like he's personally picked him up from the airport and invited him over to his house and shit, it's hilarious how much that pisses people off
>>738767554>"real" fighting games struggle to get triple digit concurrent playerslmao
>>738767515>>738767616These photos make me incredibly sad, feeling like the age of entertainment is over already, and now we just have to embrace AI nothingness.
>>738729912He looks like a dog that just ate a mouthful of bees.
>>738767695I think it just happens they hang out together because they are from around the same generation.Surely there are good younger game devs too, right...?
>>738767616Why does kamiya need an elastic to keep his glasses attached to his big ass head?
>>738767906Indie will always have a few good people, but a room full of people like them? There come the sad feelings again.
>>738767495>for free
>>738767948If I had to guess it's because he doesn't see much without them so to avoid them falling off by any means neccesary.
>>738727880its gonna flop
>>738764482>nowtekken 7 had a frame data dlc
>>738769870And most likely only because the mod was being so widely spread
