Oh some games I've played higher, but older ones have res maxes and for newer games I can only do so much with them... I mean I may have a P4 1.5GHZ with 384MB of RAM, but remember my video card is a 32mb GeForce2 GTS...
Quote:Your position is completely nonsensical! Your argument would make sense if SNK moving to the Atomsware hardware meant that they'd have to use a different art style, but that's not going to happen! Their art isn't the way it is because of the shitty Neo Geo hardware, Einstein! Moving to new hardware will only make their games look better! DAMN are you stupid! WOW. Simply WOW.
This is exactly what I am talking about. Did I say that I thought that the Atomiswave games would have worse graphics? NO! I did not! I said that the end of the Neo-Geo is sad because of how long it's been around and how many good games are on the system, but I also said that I recognize that they can't do anything new on the thing and that to be able to move into more gameplay possibilities, and to vary gameplay more, I recognize that they need to use newer hardware. So I said that it's a good move. I didn't talk about graphics at all on the Neo-Geo/Atomiswave issue!
Anyway... I've seen a few shots of KOF for Atomiswave. It looks nice. It looks good. Not a massive step up (still 2d of course), but good. You're right, in cases like this where it's the same art style but better graphics the improvement is generally welcomed... like QFG1 CGA vs the QFG1 remake -- I may like the remake a lot more because of the graphical interface, but the beautiful 256 color graphics are another draw to that game. :)
Oh and sometimes "better" graphics are not. In the PC strategy genre, look at HOMMIV or Warlords (III, IV, Battlecry, Battlecry 2...). Or Age of Wonders II. They have nice graphics, sure, but they have somewhat bland CG graphics. Unimpressive. Give me nice handdrawn graphics (like Disciples) any day. They may not be "as good" but they look better, for sure!
