Dropped the ball? Since when are fighting games fundamental to console launches?
Only when MS started having one.
Dropped the ball? Since when are fighting games fundamental to console launches?
Anyone else feel Sony really dropped the ball with no showpiece fighter being available at launch? Fighters have been a console debut staple it seems for the past few gens and for good reason; they can easily set the early bar for how pretty your console can make things look. I think one thing ms has done right since they've been in the game is having a graphical showpiece fighter available day one or at least very soon after release. Going back to psx it seemed like a good practice. Unfortunate Sony doesn't see the use in having a beautiful pick up and play versus showpiece.
Oh good, the sequel to "Sony Dropped the Ball with their First Party Launch Window."
So are you trying to say that killer instinct is a good demonstrations of xbone's technical capabilities?...lol
No one gives a fuck about non-Capcom fighters, so no.

I honestly think Sony had a btter chance at making a traditional fighter with their characters.This. Unfortunately.
Except for Playstation All-stars, what else could Sony bring to the genre?
Besides, the market is extremelly crowded. SF, MxC, MK, Injustice, BlazBlue, P4A, GG... Serioulsy too many games.
NetherRealm games say hi.
No one gives a fuck about non-Capcom fighters, so no.
Titanfall isn't a launch game. It's very close to being one, though.Titanfall. Not to mention you can always count on Microsoft for exclusive shooters. Sony hasn't had a decent, and I'm being generous, exclusive fighter since Battle Arena Toshinden on the PS1.
This, wheres Ridge RacerNever thought fighters were a big deal at launch. That's new.
What they're missing is RIIIIIIDGE RACER.
what it look like on PS4?"Injustice: Gods Among Us, Ultimate Edition" is exclusive to PS4 for next-gen.
Why does it have to be a technical achievement to be good?

Yeah, I understand we have Injustice and I support them for going full force into it with trying to push it onto next gen. I like fighting games just as much as anyone here. But when it comes to selling a console, if you're going to take the biggest profit away, you're pushing the newest FPS as a priority to your console. That's just what really hits hard and sells these days.
I'm not saying that they don't have the big numbers, because some do, but when it comes to what the majority want, it's not a fighter. So as someone who wants the most bank a fighter isn't a priority.
what it look like on PS4?
Even a new Tekken didnt sell great.
Sony dropped the ball with no game about actually dropping balls apparently.

Sony had exclusive fighters when they were partnered with Namco. Now? Not so much. And who cares really. Are we talking about Killer Instinct not made by Rare? That's like a Street Fighter game made by Gearbox or Virtua Fighter made by Insomniac or Tekken made by treyarch.
Nope.
How can you put Kratos, Sly, Jak, Drake, Nariko, Kat, Sir Dan and Sweet Tooth in a traditional 2D, 1x1 fighter?
No one gives a fuck about fighting games other than Capcom fighting games.
Eh, that's a bit disingenuous.
Though, watching people talk about KI, I wonder if they 1: have played the new game yet or 2: remember what old killer instinct actually was. Though I have a certain fondness for KI, I wouldn't exactly call it a good fighting game.
Nope.

Party game was the way to go and they did it right. The game was great but people didn't apreciate it too much. Move on and forget about it.
Disclaimer: I loved Battle Royalle. It's my most played fighting game ever (in hours). My friends loved it, my cousins loved it. It can be casual or deep. I'm sad that it won't get a sequel anytime soon. But I'm not fooling myself thinking that a traditional fighter would be better. It wouldn't. At all.
Since every generation before this one?
SoulCalibur (DC)
TTT1 (PS2)
DoA3 (Xbox)
DoA4 (360)
Tekken has always been heavily featured in Sony's CG "target renderings."

This, and unlike Killer Instinct it is a full game from the start.Injustice all day long. Ball undropped.
Kinda true. Though there are reasons for that.
Neither is MVC3, and it's the most popular.It's also not a new game.
Kinda true. Though there are reasons for that.
KI is a show piece indeed. DAT 720p.![]()
