Cool video, give a good insight to the company. I guess the new stage is Saberwulfs? Hope Glacius still has his puddle uppercut and teleport. If they're revealing a new character at EVO, I'm going to guess Fulgore.

Glacius most likely

Max, have you learned if Jago has the ability to revive himself from Death like he did in KI2?

Right now I don't think so. At least they didn't mention anything about it in the E3 build.
Other news, Mick Gordon said today...the theme song heard during the trailer is NOT the new main theme. Holy shit.
Or at least not the finished theme.
Can anyone find the Senior Designer's previous history record? Pretty curious.
Guy's name is John Bautista
EDIT: Found him on LinkedIn. Apparently he's worked at Namco USA, BottleRocket, and Crystal Dynamics. Hmm.
If he worked at BottleRocket, then it could be possible he worked on The Mark of Kri... :O
Oh wait...he worked on Silent Hill: Homecoming... and Marc Ecko's Getting Up! (Personal Favorite.)

Thank god. Of the themes we've heard so far it's the only one I didn't care for.
Well...it's not a bad resume, not at all. There are a few blemishes. (Narc, eww. Only thing good about that game was unlocking the arcade version.)
Sidenote: Yeah, this game is confirmed only for Digital Releases, judging from the video. Sigh. Definitely getting the CE, though.

I probably talked with John the most at E3. He was one of the guys that was breaking the game down for me and I finally had this moment of epiphany, 'holy shit you guys get it.' Answered all my little fighting-gamey weird ass questions, like 'is this + on block', 'how long does it take to get back to neutral?' , 'what's the tech window on throws?' and he knew everything.
Max. If i ever go to the USA i already owe you a case of beers. Or Snapple, you decide.

Wow i'm way too hyped for Killer Instinct and I have no fond memories of the game. I never even played it. However everything i've seen hits a chord with me. I think this will be the first fighting game I will commit too.
We definitely need to get more games in at Evo. The more I think about this (and blast the KI1/2 soundtrack), the more excited I get.
I have to admit, as much of a fighting game fan as I am, my interest has been diminishing these last few years. Before KI was announced, the only game I was looking forward to was FFXIV (loved FFXI and even played 1.0 for most of its life).
Now that KI has been announced, and after playing at E3, I'm actually excited for a fighting game again. I mean... giddy! I can't wait to play again, it's ridiculous.
Wow. I already was convinced from listening to what you told us weeks ago Max, but I think this video helped clear my view of this game even further, I'm still pumped!
A wild Gerstman appears.
Also dat Glacius.
Very good video.
You don't need to buy anything you can make for yourself in 10 minutes

Bullshit. Ultimates are fundamental to Killer Instinct. They just can't take them out of the game.
This is surprisingly honest. Not the usual PR stuff, but actually admitting they made some mistakes in the past. That's quite... rare. It gives some needed confidence. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I must admit, I was pretty pissed when the game was announced. Between Ki not being developed by Rare and the F2P model I was irate. But after hearing the impressions and seeing the excitement and humility of the guys at Double Helix I've come around. All aboard the hype train!
Also, am I the only person who wants Riptor in this game?

IGN doesn't seem to think so:
http://www.ign.com/wikis/killer-instinct-nextgen
"There has been some recent confusion since the announcement that Killer Instinct will be free to play. Killer Instinct will launch digitally with one character (Jago) for free, and further new character can be purchased at an unkown price. Killer Instinct will also be offered as a retail version with all the characters at flat rate (presumably $59.99). In addition, there will be special/collectors editions to be announced post EVO 2013. "
I know anyone can edit that page, but I feel like it wouldn't still be there if it was wrong(?)
Edit: Giantbomb says there will be a retail version bundled with a fightstick, as well as collectors/standard editions: http://www.giantbomb.com/killer-instinct/3030-42896/
"Killer Instinct will be available for download through the Xbox Live Marketplace, and will also come bundled at retail with a Mad Catz Fightstick. There will be various editions of the game including standard and collector's editions."

Really wish double helix would just release an official statement on this. Seems like a lot of conflicting reports

I'm pretty sure all the old KI characters will be in this...why wouldn't they?

Yeah, I would certainly hope they're going to reuse the original cast. Well, and maybe toss in a few new characters.

It was kind of funny, last night I was watching GT's Killer Instinct feature on my phone, and my wife's like "What are you watching?" I tell her it's a behind-the-scenes video for a game being made on Xbox One; the only game I actually want from what's been announced. She's like, "Wait, I thought you had the XB1 preordered. You preordered the PS4? I'm sure there will be other games down the line on it that you'll want."
...did my ears deceive me or did my wife just greenlight me preordering an XB1 too?
Or is it a trap?
Women be crafty.

They claim to get a message on their phone every time people post something on their forums and they 'read everything", so someone should pose the question on DH forums (I'm guessing someone did though already). They need to clear this up and I'll be happy.
Your ears deceived you.

Total greenlight. Go for it.

Hmm... Does Amazon charge you upfront or only once it's going to ship?

I think it's once they ship, though Amazon Day One Editions are gone now, I think.

Bummer. Although it looks like the Microsoft Store still has Day One Editions available for preorder.
