Cross Counter Killer Instinct Demo

This is f2p and forces you to buy each character separate right? What a load of shit. Xuan Dou Zhi Wang has more of a chance than this game.
 
Yeah, I#m not feeling the particles. Seems really distracting. It looks like it'll become next-gen bloom. Everybody does it, but not everyone does it the right way.

Only the demo of the game is that way. You can buy the entire game upfront for a set price if you want to.

Also Xuan Dou Zhi Wang has a 100% chance and is the future of fighting games and the best one released in years.
 
Wow. This actually looks pretty good. Glad to see it's not just a quick cash in to feed off Nostalgia, but a game that lives up to the standards of past entries.
 
Still don't like the way it looks(Art direction and gameplay), but love the mechanics so far. I really hope MS changes its policy in the future, for the sake of the developers.
 
Looks amazing and fun.

Damn shame most of you won't get to play it even though you know you want to. Dat XB1 exclusive.
 
Wow. I don't know what I was expecting but this should allay any fears that these people don't know what they're doing. This + Titanfall (I like playing with a controller) could maybe sway me back to X1. That alone is crazy.
 
I love what they do with the sound through a long combo.

And I now feel like posting this gif in every KI thread because PARTICLES.

That looks really nice.

Can't wait to see the other characters.
 
Fantastic addition to MS's lineup.
The future of fighting game development really does lie in the hands of todays players.

Heres to more in the future!

Can we please have a thread titled "the full version of KI can be purchased on disc in a store"? So much fucking misinformation
 
Heard in the Maximilian footage that the composer of the old KI games vets/checks over the music done by the new composer.

FEEL THE POWER, BABY. AND YOU DON'T STOP AND YOU DON'T DROP

(1)This is f2p and forces you to buy each character separate right? What a load of shit. (2) Xuan Dou Zhi Wang has more of a chance than this game.

1) It's not.
2) Is that The King of Chinese Fighters?

The whole "purchase packages" thing has made me think they may forego retail disks. I haven't found one site that offers a retail version. If best, we might get a retail "card" to enable everything, but it's still too early to tell.
 
Damn, this game looks awesome! Still, one game alone will never be enough to make me get such a shit console. Hopefully one of my friends will get an Xbox1 and this game. But then, could I still play it or would I need to be on their friends list?

Can't wait to see what Fulgore looks like.

I think it's confirmed to be digital-only.

Isn't it digital only? Like there's a F2P demo where you can buy whatever you want and a full version but both are digital? I could be completely wrong here, but that's what I got out of it.

Regardless looks great. Super keen
 
I am so glad you posted the link. The trailer they showed during the press conference was really short and other samples of the game were also short. 30minute is a very decent look at the game.

I can remember when the N64 came out. I rented the Console and Rented Killer Instinct Gold. One thing I notice with this game is the camera is really close to the characters and the stages aren't very wide. In KIGold the stages were Super Large. You could both back away and the camera would zoom out

The only Fighter I've played on the Current Gen is Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

I am shocked that in this fighter you have to purchase each extra character. If your playing against the AI you can see all the characters in the game but if you want to play with characters you have to purchase them seporately
 
I really, really like what the music does during the ultra combo. Was never a fan of the original KI though, so it's hard to care about this one.

Yes! The music was pretty tight with the combo! Same boat. I was never good at KI so I never cared much for it.

NO IT DOESN'T

In particular a few rather important notes were made, the first thing mentioned was that there was a small misconception with the game being free-to-play. While the game is a launch title for the Xbox One, fans will be able to purchase the full game on it's release. There will also be a demo which comes with Jago as playable character where you can play all of the game's modes including online mutliplayer.

If you decided after playing the demo that you liked the game, you can selectively purchase packages which feature various characters.

This needs to be in a new thread and stick it.
 
Can someone create a new thread already so we can squash all of the misinformation going around? It's making me rage... :O
 
Man this looks so good!!!

Best looking fighter made outside of Japan imo.

My brain is fighting me, I can't turn to the dark side and get a Bone but want to play this.
 
They did this game such a disservice at the conference. It looks pretty amazing though. The idea of buying an Xbox One, Killer Instinct and a arcade stick makes me sick though. I refuse to drop that much cash in one go :(

It's too much money for a college student to be spending on games. It breaks my heart.
 
Yeah game looks great, too bad most of us will never play it.

I think you seriously overestimate hyperbole. The fact of the matter is people on the internet and do the opposite in real life. I guarentee at least 50% of the people moaning and groaning about X1 now will get caught up in the hype (especially if another big exclusive is shown between now and launch) and end up buying it in the first six months if not launch day itself. Second, despite all the Privacy and DRM concerns the fact is Americans love to talk about their rights but they really don't give a shit (see patriot act, Bush and Obama wiretaping policies, etc.)

The internet bitched to high heaven about the Xbox 360 saying it was just an incremental update, that they didn't care about gamers, that they wouldn't support it cuz they threw the xbox 1 under the bus in 3 years and guess what it had huge lines and sold out at launch and become the #1 HD console for this gen. Hell despite "599" and a lack of games even the PS3 was able to sell decently.

I just hope the people who do buy an Xbox 1 support Killer instinct. I know I will.
 
Today i had a chat on the showfloor with a couple of the developers... trust me, they are truly the nicest people.
You can definitely see and feel the passion they have for the title, and their spirit and their enthusiasm really resemble those of some indie devs.

I really wish them the best, and as far as i can tell the project is surely looking SICK.

Two things i got to know (un)officially:
1) Cinder will be in there, i guess he will be the character announced at EVO
2) Riptor - or at least some other dinosaur like fighter - is in, FUCK YEAH (the dinosaur freak that's in me is happy... nextgen dino, bitches!)

Bonus stuff: they plan to have a VERY deep relationship with fans, with direct talks about the characters and stuff people want to see in game.

Bring it on!
 
Oh and just another relevant detail... they are DEFINITELY giving attention to the characters and their backgrounds, with a lot of ideas behind their design (an element that reflects their experiences and history).

They hope to add a consistent story element (maybe through DLC), but the development times are pretty crazy as they started the project only one year ago.
