ahahaha
Thank you.

 

[Ingueferroque]

It would be nice if each char had an alt that looked more closely like the original design.

I also want Spinal and Riptor to return.. they were such cool characters! (Riptor was lame to play tho..)

 

[cLOUDo]

 

[kunonabi]

easily the best design so far and leagues ahead of the shit they pulled with glacius. he seems well-thought out all-around.

as far orchid goes i just hope she's asian again.

 

[dankir]

Hope they keep her tasteful, I have faith the team behind this will.

She's going to have a dark tougher look this time around. Away from her cheerleading days.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Damn, that looks fantastic.

 

[thuway]

It looks awesome. It has a Raiden meets Kratos vibe.

 

[Dai101]

He was lame but he was lethal. The top tier of KI1 along with Cinder.

 

[bon]

Mohawk or go home.

 

[ari]

Looks like a current gen game

K?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Looks much better in motion than in stills.

 

[Moofers]

Wow, he really looks fearsome. They did a great job with the design. He's pretty dark and brooding without coming across as cheesy.

One thing I like about these videos is how they talk pretty real about fighting game mechanics. It might not mean much to somebody who isn't that into fighters, but when I hear them talk about cancels, projectile invulnerability, and the like, I know they're talking to me.

Can't wait to play this at PAX!

 

[Zaventem]

Mohawk or go home.

That's played out breh.

 

[too much eslim]

The next two characters should be female, but I don't t.hink they can launch this game without Fulgore

Damn...the crows don't cast shadows anywhere.

 

[oVerde]

Holy smoke! This' going to be an awesome Xbox launch party Oh yeah!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Mohawk or go home.

dat DLC

 

[R3TRO]

He looks off.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damn, that looks fantastic.

Yes it do. A little slow moving but I like the look.

 

[Dark Octave]

But you don't buy one character at a time. It's not that kind of model.

What? I thought this game was F2P? That's how they have been explaining it on some of the podcasts. So this will be a retail title then?

 

[Jinaar]

Man that dark shadow effect around him. Balls deep. This game is one of the best (maybe only) reasons for me to get an XBOX ONE on day one. Killer Instinct was one of those amazing things that floored me as a young adult playing that game in the arcade and then on the SNES. To relive that feeling again.

 

[derFeef]

Yes it do. A little slow moving but I like the look.

Funny what u find shit, to me is the best design so far imo.

 

[derFeef]

Ohh that water running down the shoulders.

 

[oconnomiyaki]

Ugh. I'm being whipped into PS4 only and this game looks more and more amazing each time I see it.

I might be sleeping on the couch after they announce Kim Wu.

 

[DestinRL]

No YT link yet, looks great though.

It'll be up on YT tomorrow.

 

[w00zey]

Forgive the ignorance, but have they said how many characters will be out when the game is first released?

 

[Dai101]

I'm contractually obligated to post this every time the F2P comments comes around:

Also no. DD only, maybe a retail release down the line. The demo you download contains Jago only in every single/online mode and you can buy by piecemeal. Or buy everything at once. More info and final details in GC

 

[Zaventem]

derFeef can make some gifs of the axe combos?

 

[Winterfang]

When they bring Riptor back, they should change a lot on how he fight, he had cool moves but he was so hard to use.

 

[Acquiescence]

Oh hai Kratos, how was your road trip around America?

 

[nib95]

Is it like the older games where it is dynamic?

Looks like it. But based on the vids I've seen it rarely goes back except during specials or more elaborate moves. I think the default view should be further back by a good degree.

 

[Frostinferno]

Liking what I'm seeing.

And even though they're (probably) not related, I'm going to view that guy's "My Ultra is better" shirt as a jab at Capcom/SF =P

 

[Hoo-doo]

Oh hai Kratos, how was your road trip around America?

Kratos wouldn't dare look that low-poly.

 

[Zaventem]

Oh hai Kratos, how was your road trip around America?

Hhahahaha

og guys left:

cinder
orchid
combo
spinal
riptor
fulgore


i wonder if any KI 2 characters will be in or entirely new characters. First and foremost i want all the original to be in.

 

[Dramos]

Kudos to Double Helix, this is the type of devs that MS needs for their first party games. They show dedication and understand that nailing this game is a huge challenge.

I can't wait to see who's next... Cinder, TJ Combo? These characters appeared in the arcade box behind!

 

[M_A_C]

I'm always like, "Eh, maybe I should cancel my Xbone preorder with all their dumb BS." Then KI releases more footage at 60fps and I'm like, "Sweet! Glad I still have an Xbone preordered!"

 

[Glorified G]

What? I thought this game was F2P? That's how they have been explaining it on some of the podcasts. So this will be a retail title then?

If by retail you mean ms would have complete control over the pricing structure since it would be locked behind their own wall garden with no competition then yes.

It'll be up on YT tomorrow.

boo. I always have issues with the ign player.

 

[Kandinsky]

Mohawk or go home.

Actually yeah, he needs his mohawk to perform some of his moves!

A new character is confirmed to be in dev AFAIK, whether or not it'll be season pass is yet to be seen.

I have a hard time seeing all original characters back for launch.

 

[schuey7]

This game just keeps looking better and better with each reveal.

 

[Satchel]

Double Helix have done a fantastic job with the character designs given the source material. As much as I've always love KI, the character designs were definitely not the reason.

 

[bishoptl]

That looks fucking BADASS. Best character design so far, leaps and bounds beyond Jago. I'm impressed.

 

[Hindle]

The games going from strength to strength.

 

[Mik_Pad]

Kratos wouldn't dare look that low-poly.

You didn't play MK9 on PS3 I guess

 

[Coolwhip]

What does it look like?

Like some kind of mix between Mortal Kombat and SF.

I was hoping for a modern version of:

 

[JaggedSac]

Damn...the crows don't cast shadows anywhere.

They are netherworld crows and everyone know netherworld crows don't cast shadows.
