I guess I was just a big Silent Hill fan, and I've been burned by Double Helix before.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, did I really just spend another 60 dollars?

If it stinks like Kakuto Chojin then the whole world is going to know it before the end of tomorrow.
Except random shmucks are usually bad litmus tests for fighting games.
But the game is good as dead competitive wise anyways, so who cares if it stinks I guess.

Why did they hype 'big news from Rare' if Rare aren't making it? Fuck that annoys me.
This. It's encouraging to hear that some prominent players have gotten their hands on it and are liking it so far but I now have to take these first impressions with a bit of skepticism after SFxT 2012.

Why the fuck isn't RARE developing this?? Oh well, hope it turns out good. The footage we saw today looked promising.

Beat me to it. What's the point of having a fighting game as an exclusive when you have to be online to set it up.

Jago looks like a Yakuza reject on steroids. And the million particle effects flying around? I can't see what the fuck is going on! So depressing.
Damn, what's wrong with his shoulder?!
KI absolutely dominated the arcades when it came out, and for good reason.
No, it's definitely different, and not in a good way.

Well its not Chris Sutherland, who no longer works at Rare, but its a very close imitation. I dont think my ears are broken. Youtube both, its very similar if not identical.

Yup,
"Killer Instinct is a day-one digital-only release on Xbox One, and features -- get this -- one character. Jago is free to play on launch day. Everyone else -- unspecified returning characters as well as original fighters -- will cost money. Price is to-be-determined"

Long awaited property comes back as f2p by a shitty dev!

Fuck. Explains why the graphics were so underwhelming. They didn't really give a fuck about this game.

Guess they will see how popular the game is before wasting money creating new characters. What a laughable way to treat the KI license. The few people that actually still care about KI are not the same people that like F2P games with payable characters. MS really clueless on this one. This is Shadowrun all over again.
I still play SFXT in tourneys and support it today despite there being no money and smaller numbers than SF4. What was your point again?

Can't wait for Clayfighters reboot. But I guess it looked like KI, so that's good. I think.
edit: F2P/Pay-to-actually-play. GOddamn Rare.

Now that's...that's no good. That's the worst thing you can do for a fighting game. I mean, at least I think it is. I would think you'd want to test and try every single character to see who you like and dislike in the game. Not to mention a lot of F2P stuff is usually...sketchy.
I guess I'll find out about the F2P stuff tomorrow when I try out the new Tekken, but I'm still going to try and remain optimistic about this one. It looked interesting, and I'm glad they're bringing the brand back. It's a shame they don't seem to be going all out, but I'll wait and see what it gets in reviews. I'm going to get a PS4, but I could see myself get a X1 in the future, and I'm hoping this turns out to be a good surprise that adds to the backlog.

Look at the IGN title for the article:
"E3 2013: Killer Instinct Is a Fun Free to Play Xbox One Launch Game"
It's essentially confirmed to be free-to-play at this point with only ONE character available.
They resurrected the series just to kill it. Why? Why could they not just make a normal fighting game? I was excited for this and now I'm sad.

Because this way they can only make 5 or 6 characters and if and when the game bombs like Shadowrun did they can completely drop support without spending money to make the other 5 characters. They are essentially corporate kickstarting this game.

Once again, even more luck trying to set that up for tourneys. hahahahahahahahahhaha.
some were on twitter saying they are part of the team, its like trusting Maximillion with a capcom review. He is a nice guy and all but dont think you will ever hear a negative review
