0:39...I actually think 14 did a better evil laugh face than XV, like the model of XV Iori is better but the smile on 14 is more wicked and bigger than 15.
I don't think theybwere going for realistic at all. I think they were going for exactly what 15 is...and just didn't pull it off. But that's my opinion.
you are mistaken. They just improved the graphics, it's almost the same, the future is all fighting games following the same path as MK, Street Fighter VI has already started to get more realistic.
@@ninjadofuturo3286 hyper realistic is not the way. Mk 11 is boring and the graphics have no personality, I'll take both 3d kofs over that realistic generic crap
I love the comparisons, XV grew a lot graphically since XIV, they learned and improved incredibly. I noticed thad you made an edition trick by duplicating XV's audios and make them feel like they're from both games, but there's characters who's voice recordings changed so much that you can notice when it's the same track like Angel's. It would be nice if you would have used both original audios so we can have a comparison both graphical and in audio form.
Hi Matt, I'm glad you like the comparison :). I used the dialogues from KOF XV to make it symmetrical, so that two different phrases wouldn't sound at the same time, I could have separated the audio channels, but I wanted to focus more on the character design.
what graphic upgrade, it's literally the same fucking thing to the point i am beyond disapointed with this game as i see just about no difference in anything
@@madmaxiemartialartsnerd485 Bro, graphics doesn't always means more polygons but a better aesthetic, a game isn't graphically better just because it's harder to run in every pc and it's the most realistic thing ever made. It's graphically better when the aesthetic of the game is correct with the nature of the game itself, KOF has always been an anime-like franchise and when they finally moved to 3D in XIV the aesthetic was a bit off, because they tried to make semi-realistic graphics adding unnecessary details like the eye shadows that made the characters look like they were either tired or in drugs (Angel is one of the clearest examples, just compare her XIV and XV faces and tell me that she doesn't look like she hasn't slept in 5 days). In XV they erased unnecesary details and added the clearly visible black edges and harder shadows which made the game stop being so semi-realistic and start being more 3d anime-like like it should be, not only that but they went for a thicker bodies aesthetic in order to make positive details like the contraction of the bodies visible (Back to Angel's example, you can see her contraction lines in her belly, like every person has). Saying that it's better or worst is only a matter of opinion, but saying that "It's the same thing" it's literally not paying attention and just giving a quick look because if that's not enough for you for the graphics to be good, then tell me: What would you like the graphics to look like to be better than XIV/XV since you say they are the same?
In my opinion the top 5 upgraded characters that look visually different are: 5. Athena (Yeah, more personality, new hairstyle and visually different) 4. Mai (Imo looks completely different and less doll like) 3. Terry (whoa what happend Terry, you hit the GYM even more!) 2. Andy (looks close to a different character) 1. Antonov (looks completely different, now he looks cool!)
Biggest upgrade was definitely that the characters were much more meatier in the right places, u could see more brightened skin tone, and muscle definition on a lot of males and Leona. I mean look at Andy in KOV XIV he looked malnourished now he looks better fighter wise. Leona gained some ab definition. Terry did bulk up and the graphics are more colorful and less dreary looking.
Wow, then they first released the trailers I thought there wasn't THAT big of a change, but really seeing them side by side like this really highlights how improved the models look. ESPECIALLY the faces and some got slightly thicker. Andy's model is the one model that desperately needed the change from XIV.
@@QuantumFishFTW it looks cool but it doesn't make sense lore wise, hoping that in the future SNK will let us toggle his headband, or at least give us an nest Kyo costume (please SNK)
I like the new visual aesthetic they went for. Before they had this feel of half-realism, and more saturated color, but the new style is far brighter and more anime-esc. Love the way the game looks
I absoultely appreciate how the clothing does not clip into the character models in 15 as opposed to 14. One good example is with Mai; the frontal waist cloth (not sure what else to name it) now doesn't clip through her thighs. I also love that the clothing also has better fabric draping and physics.
I know compared to their competitors, (basically Street Fighter) KoF characters are overall more on the slimmer side of things. But I'm glad that for their latest outing, most of these characters have thickened up some and even look healthier compared to XIV!
Not really, the direct competitor of SF from SNK is Art of Fighting or Fatal Fury, if you want to compare buff dudes, you have to compare with those 30 years old desings.
14 was using SNKs own proprietary 3D engine they made... they refused to use UE4 at the time bc it wasn't a Japanese made product or they didn't have funds to use it? Regardless the jump to UE4 did phenomenal to the cast on top of SNK adding small details everywhere.
I think that what makes the difference between games is the light and how it interact with the character, then shadows are not that black anymore so you can appreciate the color better and the face had been smooth out for better readability.
@@Colecionador7162 the graphics are so close i you can't know the difference, the only change is That SFV characters are more bulky but that's about it, former kof games looked unique
@@thegaminglord2190 so, every cell-shaded game is copying SFV? So, if other company wants to animate like arcsys, it's just an copy of guilty gear, or all the sprite based anime fighters are all just copying each other? Soul calibur is an copy of Tekken? Killer instinct is an copy of MK? Just because of the graphics? The graphics may be similar, but the entire game isn't an copy only because of that my guy
They gave a lot of the guys back their superhero muscles and Leona her definition/six pack, but Blue Mary, while much better than her XIV version, is still so nerfed from her classic sprite's build. She used to have really defined abs and nice strong arms. I really miss it.
For a while I just thought SNK just used a different shader, but side by side you can really see the animation and model differences. Everyone is thicker in KOF XV. The men and the women. KOF XV really made sure the eyes and face looked good during gameplay.
Wow, this is easily the best comparison I've seen so far! Some of the characters are a REALLY big improvement, like Andy, Athena, Kyo, Iori, Mai, Yuri, Shun'ei, Ryo, Joe, and Leona. I was also surprised to see a few characters where I found their faces looked WORSE in XV. I felt that Benimaru (not too much), King, K', and Maxima all had better looking faces in XIV, but have much better character models and textures in XV. I wonder if SNK is going to try to improve some of the visuals here and there?
@@infernaldisdain8051 me too i think its cause kof 14 feels a lot dusty and grittier trying to be a bit more real, and 15 feels more vibrant accepting a more cartoonish style. I also think its why some of the men look better, and the women look bad in 14.
It seems like everyone got a bit thicker or muscular in 15. Even characters like Yuri & Athena are slightly bigger compared to their 14 counterparts. Even the male characters are noticeably bigger. The only ones I can't tell the difference is Ralph & Joe.
Joe shouldn’t be big in muscle since he is a Muai Thai fighter, those fighters have tight and compact muscle mass rather than full on ripped look. But yeah agreed a 100% on your statement.
A lot of these animations seem to be the same with only minor tweaks, and I feel some characters look better in 14 when it comes to hair. Hair doesn't seem to shine at all in 15.
I think the only characters that look worse to me are whip and maxima. For the rest the faces and bodies improved alot but I agree that the hair looks weird in some characters
honestly for me, XIV have better detail on both texture and polygon. especially on the face and muscle line. what seem improve in the term of graphic in XV. for me, Xv have cleaner shadow and light effect.
I think I like Ralf's idle animation where he jumps around in 14 a bit more than 15. 15 looks a bit slow and loose, almost as if it was mocapped. 14's Ralf bops his head during the jump and is more energetic, while 15 Ralf almost seems like he's dragging his feet around. It's closer to the 2D games and feels a more lively than 15 imo.
I want to say that the 2023 Street Fighter game all of them got a massive make over while the Fatal Fury XV only a couple of them got different designs
Really weird how things inverted. SF was very animesque in the 90's and KOF tried realistic proportions. Now SF it's trying more realistic proportions in 6 and KOF is more animesque.
They sure did reuse lots of animation, but honestly I love all these numerous small changes that makes this game look lot more appealing. 3D character models are more like old school 2D sprite, manga like with good use of cartoon rendering. XIV honestly look like cheaply rendered 3D model in comparison. This game improved way more than I initially thought.
I like the artstyle in 15. But I like how they look thinner in 14. They look more proportioned to their 2D sprite in 14. Angel looks fat compared to 14.
Honestly there isn't a significant improvement in the models. I think the improvement is more in the environments. KOF XV looks good, but honestly it looks like what XIV should have looked like.
The biggest improvement is the face-closer to drawings & more expressive-then body proportions, but I don't care for the less realistic (more pop art) textures & lighting. I actually thought they did well with Maximum Impact and could've just improved on that to rival Capcom, but the fans didn't like it so they went retro 🤷🏼
Yeah, no. KOF was always about realistic proportions, only 13 has those exaggerated animesque proportions. They tried to bring it back to how the originals were but clearly there's not enough resources for them to pull it off so the stylization of 15 looks better.
La ropa y la piel es mas hiperreal en la versión XIV pero a veces están mejores las arrugas en el XV, el cabello es más detallado en el XV pero en otros está muy falso. La cara de los personajes me parece que en algunos mejoran y en otros empeora dependiendo de la versión y lo que más me gustó del XV es que el estilo es más caricaturesco en el sombreado y se asimila mucho a los viejitos. Muy bueno :)
Uns melhoraram e outros pioraram em modelos. Não falo de gráfico porque é óbvio que o 15 tá superior ao 14, falo em disigner e poses de luta. Ralf, Clark e Ryo por exemplo, estão muito grandes no 15, prefiro o modelo deles no 14.
Os seios da Mai e da Leona pareciam melhores no 14 e Whip como um todo estava melhor la. Algumas texturas e efeitos de sombras e alguns rostos também estavam melhores.
Ralf e Clark estão bem melhores no XV do que no XIV, no XIV o Clark tem os mesmos braços do XV, porém com um tronco desproporcionalmente mais magro, o Ralf está mais magro em geral, ele nunca foi assim, no XV o Ralf é o Ralf que eu sempre conheci. Ryo é verdade, ele tomou um overbuff do krl nos braços, pernas e tronco, fazendo parecer que a cabeça dele que é pequena. Ele virou o Senator Armstrong.
@@FullAdDariusBR sempre foi assim aonde man. Eles sempre tiveram corpos normais, foi a partir do 12 que a Snk cagou com eles e deixaram eles desproporcionais. Não sei que tara é essa que eles criaram com personagens grandes.
@@mikael4993 vdd. até o kof11 ralf e clark eram mais normais. No 12 viraram armários, no 14 deram uma desinchada e ficou bom. No 15 incharam eles um pouco e ficaram grandões. Mas ainda bem q nao foi tanto quanto era no 15.
Although the graphics look better I still feel games from the past feels nicer. There’s like a beauty about the 2d pixel graphics. Not sure if I’m the only who feels that way 🤤
2d sprites are absolutely beautiful, although, as you can see with XII and XIII, hd sprites are super expensive to make, so I like that SNK is using 3d, since it is easier and cheaper to use, that means that they will have more budget to use on gameplay
@@Xeve1211 wow, you're the first person I see that has the same opinion as mine, it's not that XII/XIII looks bad, it's just that the artstyle overall is pretty meh, some characters look way to buff, others anorexic, the female characters heads are way to big and some characters looks like they don't even are KOF characters (Athena being the biggest offender), I much more prefer the sprites from XI and downward, at least they were consistent with each other
@@whitejester SNK when making KOF XII/XIII sprites first made a 3d model, then draw from it, and then make the pixel art out of that drawings, I don't like some of the designs in this game, but all characters were beautifully animated because of that process, but in exchange, the sprites were super expensive to make, each SNK team needed at minimum 10 months to make EACH character, that's why the sprites were expensive, the game didn't sell well enough when it released and SNK F'ing broke, KOF 13 was released in 2010, they only came back to make console games in 2016 with KOF 14, till then they were surviving because a Chinese company buy'd them and porting old games, SNK only came back now because of KOF XIV, which sell more than it was expected, if it wasn't for 14 we wouldn't have samsho and 15 You probably already know that history, sorry for bothering you
Mi única queja con los modelos de los personajes es el clipping que tienen muchos de ellos, los que tienen el cabello largo parece que les está flotando y a algunos rostros de los personajes les hace falta como un poco más de shadder, para que no se vean tanto como muñecos, de ahí en fuera todo bien, ojalá SNK pula esos detalles antes mencionados
de hecho.. tambien me parece que en kof14, se ven hasta mas realistas los personajes.. en 15 se ven mas de caricatura...(color de piel mas amarillo) sera por esto.. SNK entendio que la comunidad no estaba lista para modelos realistas.. y cambiaron el concepto.. ami me gusta el concepto realista.. solo que junto a los fallos que mencionas.. ami me parece que los modelos de kof14 estan mal hechos.. hasta kula y athena es un copypaste en el rostro, otros characters con algunas hasta deformidades en otros... despues de 15.. y la reaccion positiva de la comunidad.. todo en kof sera asi animesco.. porque es lo que la comunidad quiere.
Its just a slight upgrade. Im not expecting them to be more muscular like sf is. But cmon they should do better than this. Even some of ulti looks the same with just a different angle. My expectations are not shattered.
Honestly i wish they kept a couple of the old designs. Benimaru looked cooler in 14. Maxima looked less like a gorilla in 14 too. Somethings up with Clark's shoulder in 15. Also the lack of nostrils in 15 bug me. At the same time id rather have some of the new designs like Kyo's, Terry's and Mai's.
I bought both of these games, and yeah it does look amazing, the problem about it is The XIV one, no not the characters that has bad design, I am talking about Kyo's XIV Design, He surely looks like a JPop Or a KPop Idol, But the rest of the characters are alright, the only Kyo Design I like is the XV one, You wanna know why? Because it has his XII-XIII Attire But with a Headband, And his Classic Gloves. So yeah. That's all I can say for now.
The only characters I feel got worse : Whip - her hair looks off Robert - in terms of standing animation Overall apart from these minor peeves everything else is just way better appearance wise

Crazily enough, Iori has a better facial laugh animation in XIV
In kof XIV they wanted to make realistic designs, and in XV they returned the very colorful and animated designs like the originals 🤩
XIV 7/10
XV 10/10 🔥
Yeah, no. KOF was always about realistic proportions, only 13 has those exaggerated animesque proportions. They tried to bring it back to how the originals were but clearly there's not enough resources for them to pull it off so the stylization of 15 looks better.
i like the lighting engine better in 14 but the character faces are better in 15
La ropa y la piel es mas hiperreal en la versión XIV pero a veces están mejores las arrugas en el XV, el cabello es más detallado en el XV pero en otros está muy falso. La cara de los personajes me parece que en algunos mejoran y en otros empeora dependiendo de la versión y lo que más me gustó del XV es que el estilo es más caricaturesco en el sombreado y se asimila mucho a los viejitos.
Muy bueno :)
The kof 14 models were so lifeless and stiff, snk did a much better job to make the characters have more energy in the new game
Uns melhoraram e outros pioraram em modelos. Não falo de gráfico porque é óbvio que o 15 tá superior ao 14, falo em disigner e poses de luta. Ralf, Clark e Ryo por exemplo, estão muito grandes no 15, prefiro o modelo deles no 14.
Vdd kkkkk mas o Kyo do 14 é péssimo
Os seios da Mai e da Leona pareciam melhores no 14 e Whip como um todo estava melhor la. Algumas texturas e efeitos de sombras e alguns rostos também estavam melhores.
Ralf e Clark estão bem melhores no XV do que no XIV, no XIV o Clark tem os mesmos braços do XV, porém com um tronco desproporcionalmente mais magro, o Ralf está mais magro em geral, ele nunca foi assim, no XV o Ralf é o Ralf que eu sempre conheci.
Ryo é verdade, ele tomou um overbuff do krl nos braços, pernas e tronco, fazendo parecer que a cabeça dele que é pequena. Ele virou o Senator Armstrong.
@@FullAdDariusBR sempre foi assim aonde man. Eles sempre tiveram corpos normais, foi a partir do 12 que a Snk cagou com eles e deixaram eles desproporcionais. Não sei que tara é essa que eles criaram com personagens grandes.
@@mikael4993 vdd. até o kof11 ralf e clark eram mais normais.
No 12 viraram armários, no 14 deram uma desinchada e ficou bom. No 15 incharam eles um pouco e ficaram grandões. Mas ainda bem q nao foi tanto quanto era no 15.
A diferença no gráfico é clara, O xv está muito mais preciso os detalhes, uau, parabéns
The "anime like" graphics really make it pop, also reminds me of the arcades, these characters look so good now, I'm definitely going to buy KOF XV
The King of Fighters 14.5
98 and 97 were 96.5 and 96.9 respectively, 2000 was just 99.5, 11 was just 03.5, 13 was just 12.5
It doesn't make these games any less good
Kyo in a white jacket with no part in his hair? What have they done to my boi? TT___TT Thank you, KOFXV for restoring him.
どのキャラも顔がとてつもなく美しく進化している。
My main complaint with 15 is that it's too bright. There's barely any shadows.
For example, look at Leona's top.
I think in XV the characters look more consistent then in XIV
Can't believe these games came out only a year apart. One in 2004 and another in 2005.
15 Hair = Hair
14 Hair = Clay
The body parts look very bright in kof xv.
Kof XIV Andy was starving lol, finally they gave him some nutrition in XV... same for other characters as well
Although the graphics look better I still feel games from the past feels nicer. There’s like a beauty about the 2d pixel graphics.
Not sure if I’m the only who feels that way 🤤
2d sprites are absolutely beautiful, although, as you can see with XII and XIII, hd sprites are super expensive to make, so I like that SNK is using 3d, since it is easier and cheaper to use, that means that they will have more budget to use on gameplay
@@Colecionador7162 well the sprites I’m referring to is the ones from KOF 2002 (arcade) etc not the ones from xiii those are lame lol
@@Xeve1211 wow, you're the first person I see that has the same opinion as mine, it's not that XII/XIII looks bad, it's just that the artstyle overall is pretty meh, some characters look way to buff, others anorexic, the female characters heads are way to big and some characters looks like they don't even are KOF characters (Athena being the biggest offender), I much more prefer the sprites from XI and downward, at least they were consistent with each other
@@Colecionador7162 wait HD 2D sprites spikes in prices? How the hell did that even happen.
@@whitejester SNK when making KOF XII/XIII sprites first made a 3d model, then draw from it, and then make the pixel art out of that drawings, I don't like some of the designs in this game, but all characters were beautifully animated because of that process, but in exchange, the sprites were super expensive to make, each SNK team needed at minimum 10 months to make EACH character, that's why the sprites were expensive, the game didn't sell well enough when it released and SNK F'ing broke, KOF 13 was released in 2010, they only came back to make console games in 2016 with KOF 14, till then they were surviving because a Chinese company buy'd them and porting old games, SNK only came back now because of KOF XIV, which sell more than it was expected, if it wasn't for 14 we wouldn't have samsho and 15
You probably already know that history, sorry for bothering you
I really dont like 3D Kula, for some reason there no trace of the "dangerous but elegant" vibe she gave in the sprite era.
slight better hair physics.. beside that, i don't see that much difference.
14 is more Shikiro-ish style.15 improve a lot in posture body from every character way to go SNK.
The only thing I like better from 14 is Iori's mouth when he laughs. I don't know why it looks like that in 15.
ah yeah. I was about to say...
Big improvement but there’s a few that I think looked better in XIV, Robert and Kukri to name couple.
Mi única queja con los modelos de los personajes es el clipping que tienen muchos de ellos, los que tienen el cabello largo parece que les está flotando y a algunos rostros de los personajes les hace falta como un poco más de shadder, para que no se vean tanto como muñecos, de ahí en fuera todo bien, ojalá SNK pula esos detalles antes mencionados
de hecho.. tambien me parece que en kof14, se ven hasta mas realistas los personajes.. en 15 se ven mas de caricatura...(color de piel mas amarillo)
sera por esto.. SNK entendio que la comunidad no estaba lista para modelos realistas.. y cambiaron el concepto..
ami me gusta el concepto realista.. solo que junto a los fallos que mencionas.. ami me parece que los modelos de kof14 estan mal hechos.. hasta kula y athena es un copypaste en el rostro, otros characters con algunas hasta deformidades en otros...
despues de 15.. y la reaccion positiva de la comunidad.. todo en kof sera asi animesco.. porque es lo que la comunidad quiere.
@@Zyon000Z si, de hecho le sienta mejor ese estilo anime a kof, solo hay que pulir ciertos detalles técnicos pero en general todo bien con el juego
The recycling is so blatant, the graphics are so antiquated... crazy how SNK dares to charge full price for these games
KoF 15 looks more cartoony and yet it has higher system requirements
Its just a slight upgrade. Im not expecting them to be more muscular like sf is. But cmon they should do better than this. Even some of ulti looks the same with just a different angle. My expectations are not shattered.
Honestly i wish they kept a couple of the old designs. Benimaru looked cooler in 14. Maxima looked less like a gorilla in 14 too. Somethings up with Clark's shoulder in 15. Also the lack of nostrils in 15 bug me. At the same time id rather have some of the new designs like Kyo's, Terry's and Mai's.
9:29 omg that hair bug in KoF14 LMAO
massive improvements. just look at athena
They went from DAZ 3D models to actual characters lol
They made the intros very simple compared to the old games
I bought both of these games, and yeah it does look amazing, the problem about it is The XIV one, no not the characters that has bad design, I am talking about Kyo's XIV Design, He surely looks like a JPop Or a KPop Idol, But the rest of the characters are alright, the only Kyo Design I like is the XV one, You wanna know why? Because it has his XII-XIII Attire But with a Headband, And his Classic Gloves. So yeah. That's all I can say for now.
The only characters I feel got worse :
Whip - her hair looks off
Robert - in terms of standing animation
Overall apart from these minor peeves everything else is just way better appearance wise
You are right. Whip looks awful in Kof XV!!
Such a throwback, I gotta get this game
Jesus, everyone in XIV looks so dead.
But i still can't get over the fact that they made Ryo taller than Robert, just why..
