Sometimes its the publishers fault that games suck. Silent Hill 4 wasnt going to be a SH game at all, but they decided it to be SH related so it would sell.

What was the original game going to be like? Was it going to be about someone being haunted in his apartment, and trying to survive in that little area?

Probably something similar but without SH related story. I think it was known as Room 302 before it got incorporated to the SH series. Also its production started after SH2

My, my , i know their names, so much for your presumptous nature. The team wihtout supervision is nothing. Akira appointed collective to make game for good tech, he is bashing jap, he is supervising it , just like kojima as director is supervising whole mgs team. The man akira/konami will seve as leader of the ship. You know ueda of ico fame, do you knw the programmer of the game? Whats the name of MGS programmer? so analogy is capcom, akira/konami = nagoshi, kojima etc Sf and BC are capcoms brainchild, they aren not giving second parties free hand to fuck franchise. i m glad they are now more cautious after semi fucked up finalfight on lastgen. More than good team a good lead and vision is necessary and i know it myself as director. Capcom has been churning good games still coz inafune is supervising all producs to match up capcoms quality. I had lost hope in capcom after okamot, mikami departure but inafune is holding strings juts fine. His personal efforts like deadrising were moe than satisfactory. There is interview of inafune whee he explains capcom management issues and how he is now managing things. So infune is final qualityassurance man, to polish the shortcomings. No body knows programmers, or hired talent that much as much we knw direcotrs,lead artists, musicians of game. Artist can cook anything , programmer can cook anything, its the director/producer the supervision that extracts the relative effort out of them. Relative for project. You need to first read all interviews related to capcom, company we are discussing befoe you open your hole.

Thanks god Inafune is supervising, so stupid megaman spinoff-esque games dont happen

http://www.ene3.com/archives/021412.html shit i have to say again, terry looks awesome, and cant wait to check out robert and rock , well location -*test*-('") is to hit this month.

Rock Howard and Robert? What are they doing in this KoF? Especially Rock.. It'll be interesting how they wite them into the game.

Where did you hear that Rock and Robert were confirmed? This is news to me. I know that Dou Lon and Elizibeth have been confirmed.

Can y'all save the arguments for another thread that relates more to the topic? There's a lot of pointers that I would like to add to the argument at hand, but then I would only be contributing more off topic trash. I'm going to have to lock this thread If this keeps up. This thread should be renamed to "koF all up in your face!" Where did you hear that Rock and Robert were confirmed? This is news to me. I know that Dou Lon and Elizibeth have been confirmed. I don't see Rock at all. Still waiting for Yamazaki, Billy Kane, & Mai. (At least one of them. Come on.) Eh.. I dunno in that art, Athena looks like a chubby child. She looks better in-game though.. I think she's based off of the goddess Athena from Battle Coliseum. (She had the same exact to' up doll face.) I never thought I'd say it, but I kinda prefer the japanese idol Athena over Goddess Athena. (At least goddess athena does have nice thighs, butta face though...)

Also Godess Athena appeared as a boss in SnkVScapcom

AS far as rock i wish to have him , in all this animated glory, he will be superb. Robert and andy {with new different looks} was mentioned in somemag and then posted on some site. I wonder if thats true. I am not sure. But andy is also one of my fav.
