Questions KR game?

[Centaurus17]

Hello There

Anyone here notice an error in one of the video game pictures? Im assuming these are pictures of Kitt involved in a boss fight. In one of the pics it shows a green Semi in the upper left corner and says "Goliath - Destroy". Now in another picture it shows a green car and says "Car - Destroy" Hehe undoubtedly we've all guessed that this "Car" is Karr. Just a lil nitpicking on my part...hehe hopefully they'll clear that up

[JustinMacri]

I am sure there correcting the chariters name

The NES game was good. Better than that blocky 2 bit crap that was on Atari.
An even better version would be the KR game for the TurboGrfx 16. There is also Super Spyhunter for NES.

What you are doing here is like trying to compare SNES to Atari. In the world of console gaming the graphical capability takes steps in even numbers. 2, 8, 16, 24, 64, 128.


The new KR game is a >3D< game.. It will have basically the same elements as the NES version, like driving, turbo boosting, tricks. But unfirtunately I read that at no time will you jump out of the car and pursue villains on foot or talk to people. That sucks majorly.

So the new Game you can get out of the car as Micheal Knight and talk to pepole like you can in Grand Thft auto? I wonder about the new gam how will the theme be and will it have a media part to show the Knight Rider story line??????

If you look at Blaze's post above you can see it says "But unfortunately I read that at no time will you jump out of the car"

Oh so you can't do that. You just drive KITT

[JustinMacri]

what i mean is i am sure it will be all fixed the acter name spelling. I am sure they know the real name from car to KARR

Even the NES game had a Michael mannequin.

And, Need For Speed III has a driver behind the wheel. Why not have a Michael driver behind the Wheel of KITT? (Even if all it does is sit there.)

[jup]

For the longest of time, I considered the NES KR game to be fairly poor. (Very hard, incorrect physics, unrealistic conditions, etc.) But, as I did my thorough web page dedication to the game, I came to the conclusion that whoever made this game MUST HAVE BEEN A TRUE FAN. For about as many incorrect things there are about this game, I managed to list quite a few (unexpectant) positive points. Like about KITT's dash. This was basically a limitation factor of the NES's color pallette. While black would have been more correct, it would have actually ruined the whole graphics approach, making the interior look EVEN WORSE. And, those background graphics. For an NES, they are actually quite decent. (It's even a little freaky looking at the New York background with the Twin Towers up front and the sky ablaze in red. That's just unconscious prediction, there.) And, you can't dis the NES game for bringing back KARR!

Anyway, I have just about anything you could possibly want to know about the NES KR game (including cheat codes and the weird image produced when the game crashes after using one of the codes for too long.) prepared at my web site. It's a sub-sub-sub web page at this URL: http://www.jupircbot.8m.com/kr/neskr.htm

P.S. 2 Blaze: What era Atari games are you thinking of? Most pre-1985 Atari games are pretty primitive in their graphics/sounds. But, once you go post-1985 on the Atari 2600 line, you may find some games that seem impossible to run on this outdated system. One of the greatest examples I can think of is comparing the "street trash" Pac-Man (that game that literally outnumbers all the NES Super Mario Bros.'s carts ever produced...and stank up the system, even in it's hayday.) to the very rare Pac-Man, Jr. (It cuts so close to it's arcade counterpart, how it was pulled off is a marvel of programming secrets. Such ashame that past Ms. Pac-Man, nobody really ever cared.) Well, the 2600 Ms. Pac-Man is no slouch, either.

Hi,

I was browsing the site that shows the game and today i saw a Picture of Micheal's face. It looked so real to David's true face. I am really looking fowerd to playing this game. And when is the demo version out. And will it have two player battle modes like in The Dukes Of Hazzard? And can you get out of KITT like you can in Grand Theft Auto 3? and witch button will be for Turbo Boost and Super P. Mode and well i wish i can get some new game updates and pictures.

send them here or Macri007@aol.com

[knightimmortal]

Hey Justin

Gamespot has a hands on version of the game so far and it has been confirmed that you will NOT be able to get out of KITT and control Michael...I have made a thread about that specific topic, check it out when you get the chance

[JustinMacri]

So when is the demo disk going to be relelsed? I did the Demo Disk of Spy Hunter at my Cusin's house does any one have a clue when the Demo will be out and i wish i can see ne Pictures of the game and how do i e-mail Delex?

[knightimmortal]

Nobody knows if there is going to be a demo disk, the only information that we know have been in the threads provided on this subject throughout the board.

I think it is Davilex, and I am not sure how to email them, but please keep in mind that if they are pestered too much, they will either ignore you, or they will decide that it is too much trouble.

I think we should be grateful for what we get, because it is better than nothing, or the old stuff which is what we had before.

Looks like gamepsot went cheap just like ign.com.There not letting you look at there pics for free anymore.

[JustinMacri]

Sorry but since July i found out about the game i am sorry i am pest. If i did not find out ealyer it would have been a superize on tv

[Knight452]

From the screen shots i have(and seen),It's a hell of a better than the old nintendo game. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

[WhiteSkyWolf]

Have they released the offical name of it, or is it just Knight Rider?

[Knight Racer]

There are more new pics at gamespot.I've been downloading the video clips at high resolution and guess what?They copied something from Spyhunter.Whenever Kitt Turbo boosts,the meter goes almost completely down,but it recharges to full power very fast.I hope the spm mode works the same way.Also they botched up Garth knight.The face looks exactly like Michael with gotee but his style in clothing is almost a duplicate of Michaels.the jacket and jeans.Garthe never wore those things unless you count Goliath when he wore Michael's clothes because Michael used his to impersonate him.

What i want to know is this.What year is it in the game?82,86,2002?theres no rc3 so it might be after he left cause there's spm mode in kitt.I don't think its 2002 cause Michael looks too young in the clip and devon is still alive.

Maybe they never really thought that far into the story, either, maybe they just decided to put out a game without all the backstory and figured that we would just play it anyway because we as a KR community won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

knightimmortal

[Centaurus17]

Yup. IGN.com also has an update, but i think the pics are the same.

Not to be cynical here, but i expected a huge update in the interior of KITT from the previous shots and still havent seen one. The interior still looks unbelievably poor. I think a lot more work needs to be done of the visuals of this game. Any thoughts?

[knightimmortal]

I think if they want to get it out by November, and what you are starting to see is the final product, and if tweaking it to our standards is going to cause them to delay the game more, then I think we need to step back and look at the larger picture here.

If you feel that the game is not what you want, then I suggest you email them. Just be prepared for any potential consequences.

knightimmortal

[Centaurus17]

KI, i dunno about everyone else on this board...But i would be happy if i get a much higher quality game, even if that means a delay. Think about it, i dont think anyone here wants to play a rushed product that was put together just to meet the deadline.

[Skav]

I agree with Centaurus again. It was the same case with a movie they were gonna bring out last year but instead the director asked for another 6 months so they could brush up on a lot of things.

Time and patience pays off, people! No need for the rush is there? It IS and WILL come out so I think we ought to email them and tell them what WE want. After all, let's face it, they are only making this game for the fans only.

Modern audiences won't be interested!

By the looks of that dash, a 5 year old can even design THAT 'monstrocity'!
