www.phuck-ign.com/showarticle.php?s=&threadid=5852Here's an interesting little side by side comparison of Kof 2001's original neo and PS2 version, the artwork is better and the backrounds look cleaner. I wish they would have put a little more effort though and gone for the 3d backrounds like in the 98-99 DC kof ports

Looks a bit less pixelated than the MVS/AES version but i'm still waiting to know if the soundtracks have changed

Nice - I'm really looking forward to playing KOF 2001. I agree with Daaren though, I hope they hace changed the music... although I have a lingering suspicion that it will be just the same  Kaz |

Wow! I didn´t know, there´s such a striking difference between those Versions. Looks really good.
But the Soundtrack thing is true , hopefully they changed it. But a good Change was the crappy In-Game Artwork, they replaced it with the more serious looking Chars, good Point!!

Ugh, i friggin hate the art they used in it now in the PS2 version.
They all looke like drug addicts in that art.
It's just artwork in general.
In the NeoNeo version of the portrets they really made an impression that fitted the fighter and kinda taunted in their face prtraits.
But now this new used ps2 art, it's just standard, no expresions to match.

Yes, but it´s something new!
The Art in Kof2k1 in NeoGeo is not what I personally like!

I don't *love* the new artwork, but it's better than in the Neo Geo version... the art in that looked like crap (at least on the majority of the characters). I think the intro doesn't look too bad either, although I wanna see it running first. Hopefully I'll get this game pretty soon!  Kaz |

I wanna see the Intro as well!
Looks cool with the Drawn Picture of K´!!
And the Artwork of Kof2k1 on the NeoGeo was really crappy, I mean look at Joe, Benimaru or Andy, I hated what they made out of them.

i always kinda liked the kof 2001 art personally. I DO like how SNK-P took the artwork from the AES manual and put them in the game...ah memories.

I saw the game running properly... ok here goes:
- The music is the same, which sucks... although the music in the intro is pretty nice.
- The quality of the intro isn't good - considering it is on DVD you'd have thought they'd use a better bitrate, but as it is it's a bit blocky in places. The art there is ok though, nothing spectacular but it's allright.
- The backgrounds are reasonable... probably better than the ones on the Neo Geo version (they couldn't be much worse imho), but they aren't mindblowing.
- The new art is better, but after seeing it "in the flash" it still looks weird.
- Not sure about gameplay as I didn't really play it... but I'll buy the game asap so I'll be able to try it properly then.
OK, so my view of the game isn't too favourable yet, but it might improve with time. I'd still say that it is an improvement on the Neo version, which is the only KoF game I've never really been able to get into at all.
