LMFAO! KI fans have been asking for this for years.
 
Developed by some of the team behind Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters and G.I. Joe The Rise of cobra.

You've been warned.

So, MS is letting the franchises they got with rare out of Rare's hands now.. fascinating.
 
From Spookys impressions, it sounds like its a new and improved KI2.

Most of the important mechanics seem to be in place, with some adjustments, like how they are handing combo breakers, also still a 6 button game thankfully.

So that's good, if you enjoy the gameplay of KI.
 
Man, I really cannot get into this game.

The animation looks awful, the graphics look...okay at best, and the developer behind it inspires no confidence at all.

Plus, did people REALLY ask for a new killer instinct? I've seen it thrown around for the last month or so but before that I feel like I've never seen anyone actually ask for it. Killer Instinct was never a great game in my mind.
The franchise was as popular as MK. Rare just stopped releasing sequels.
 
Isn't this made by the same people who brought us "green lantern the movie: the game" and "battleship the movie: the game" not to mention

Silent Hill homecoming? weren't these the people that were gonna have the SH homecoming main character, Alex or whatever, fighting a super saiyan battle with Alessa over Toluca lake, until Konami said "no way bro."?

how are people excited for this?

Nostalgia dulls common sense.

Impressions from fighting game community guys that have played it so far are very positive. Although they could be a.) paid off or b.) overly nostalgic I doubt it. Just because they made some shitty movie games doesn't mean they don't have it in them somewhere to release a good fighter.

Response from "the fighting game community" about a title made by a developer who hasn't made a good fighting game before? sounds like a load of crap to me, fighting game fans tear apart street fighter and tekken, and this isn't even in the same league.
 
Not feeling the look of the game. Doesn't help that the demo players looked like they didn't even know how to play and were mashing...
 
Everything about this game suggests it will be horrible.

Which is sad because I loved Killer Instinct.

It looks pretty terrible. I saw the footage, and my "Hmmm" turned into a :(.

And then they that awkward trash talk when they brought it back out. Ugh. It just doesn't look too good so far.

need to see orchid

Yes, do this quickly, please. Let's just see her now so I can hurry and put it out of my mind. :x Also Kim-Wu and Maya.
 
it's nostalgic indeed...but nothing about the reveal was impressive...it honestly seems like a cash-in or even a XBLA digital download game. Should bake this in the oven a bit more...KI deserves a high quality return.

Not street fighter and tekken....

street fighter x tekken :P

Why does it sound like shit? They got guys around to play it. Devs have turned from bad to good in a short space of time before. Remember Rocksteady were basically nobodies before Arkham Asylum
 
I really am excited they brought this back. I'm probably not going to get to play it for quite some time (probably going with PS4) but it's amazing to think that KI is going to be a launch game. An exclusive fighting game is going to be a launch title? You have to love gaming sometimes, because that is just awesome.

Anyway, I know a lot of people are worried because it's a developer with a bad track-record. They seemed to make a decent game (but a bad Silent Hill game; what I can tell it would have been okay if that name had been associated with it) and a bunch of licensed games. That's definitely worrisome, but sometimes a developer needs that one game to break out of the rut, and the gameplay they showed off today looked really cool to me.

Either way, I'm going to definitely keep my eye on this one, and I'm excited about it.

The devs just have an abysmal track record, I don't know where all this faith in them is coming from. It's like people who thought DmC was going to be good, but way worse.
 
Maybe it's the nostalgia but I still have some hope.

I heard it's on the show floor. If it sucks eggs it's only gonna take five minutes to find out. I remember being shocked when MK9 wasn't hot garbage.
 
It's like if the developer's of superman 64 announced they were doing a reboot of vectorman or something, and everybody got super hyped.

Well known people in the fighting game community seem to be liking it from actual hands on playing.

The FGC fawns over games until they're released, and then they tear them apart.

I've seen nothing but positive impressions from some pros who have played it on my twitter feed.
 
Really dont know what to think of it...
clearly the video was prerecorded thanks to the twitch part and how was set up that she would get "revenge", combo video shows barely anything.
resigns are pretty poor.
Oh well still what 4-5 months to polish it.

Haha at FGC talk, they still hate mortal komat despite game being good. elitism wont matter if this game sells millions.

There is a HUGE difference between playing a fighting game for 10 minutes, and actually playing a fighting game.

recently the FGC has been getting gimmicky games full of DLC low on content so the fact that they are jaded on a console exclusive is rightfully justified. That being said if the game is good they will give it its props
 
I'm not a fighting games fan, or a DRM fan. This announcement made me genuinely happy for Xbox One; still not buying it unless their policy changes.
 
Even though its being made by a shitty dev, even though Microsoft fucks over rare fans, this is still the only reason I'm kinda sorta considering getting an Xbox. This game should have released on 360 like 5 years ago.

If you're considering buying a DRM machine for a KI remake made by double helix, I think you've got bigger problems than microsoft fucking over rare fans.

Don't remember Cross Assault where all the top players said SFXT was the best?
