Man, I preferred not having a KI over this.

No man! Where was Fulgore?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

handing this to Double Helix tells me MS doesn't give a fuck and just wants the name out there to trade on nostalgia. Very little faith that this won't suck.

 

[SolarPowered]

Didn't really impress me and there is no way in hell that game would convince me to get Xboned.

I don't get it.

Seems like game-developers indulging their own nostalgia for a game that was simply bad.

Nobody under 40 will have heard of this game.

Hyperbole much?

 

[one_kill]

New look of the game is a DEAAAAAL BREAAAAKERRRR!!!!

 

[Vazra]

I wanna see Orchid

 

[friskykillface]

Where was Thunder and his Mohawk hair B^)

Wha happened to my bro Glacious he looks awful now

Will DJ Combo get in the game, why only show 3 guys lol, give me at least 5



I'll keep an eye out though, it's back B^)

 

[Slayven]

 

[Spades]

Looks great - If I get an Xbox One, I'll pick this up on launch.

 

[devious.one]

60fps confirmed... nice. I missed that the first time around.

 

[GuardianE]

I wanna see Orchid

Considering how the existing characters look, I'm not sure that you do.

 

[Black Door]

I don't get it.

Seems like game-developers indulging their own nostalgia for a game that was simply bad.

Nobody under 40 will have heard of this game.

I'm 31 and clearly remember the huge throngs of people watching this in the arcades and jerking off to the graphics when I was 14.

It's like MS was like, "Look, we made it! Get off our backs now!".

 

[GoofsterStud]

It's like they took the over saturated Killer Instinct I love and "Fuse" I mean focus shopped it. Looks really bland.

Also not made by Rares? What's the point in aving Rare's then?

Who is this made by?

Killer Instinct was originally made by Rare in 1994

Double Helix Games: /sigh

 

[Khezu]

The one positive thing I will say, I do like the super attack animations, they are nice with out being annoyingly flashy like most recent fighters.

 

[MYE]

Oh god why did they change the style of the game??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Black Door]

It looks like Street Fighter IV style, don't get the hate. Were people expecting 90s polygons?

Glad to see the series making a comeback, look forward to more details.

This shit should be looking like GG Xrd, not something made in 2007

 

[Pie and Beans]

That people care about this franchise beyond some extremely tinted nostalgia is absolutely bizarre to me.

It certainly looked unnervingly SF4-like though. Like... some sort of 3d MUGEN port of it with fan-characters. Also didn't look anywhere good enough for a next-gen fighting game. A total 360 up-port clearly.

 

[Mudkips]

Statue's reaction to Jago's character model:

 

[Momentary]

Looks pretty cool, but I'm not getting an X1 for it.

 

[Can Crusher]

This game honestly looks like a 360 game.

 

[Syphon Filter]

looked generic and uninspired. characters don't look how they are suppose to either. gameplay looks stiff and not smooth like KI is suppose to be.

 

[sixteen-bit]

This game honestly looks like a 360 game.

Yeah, I wonder what platform it started its life on.

 

[Heyt]

Style looks way too cartoony for what I would expect for a KI game and gameplay looks a bit off. Not getting a XBone for this (or for anthing for that matter) but I like seeing this brand alive. Please be good.

Also don't be as simmilar to SF4 as it seems to be.

 

[BadAss2961]

handing this to Double Helix tells me MS doesn't give a fuck and just wants the name out there to trade on nostalgia. Very little faith that this won't suck.

It was obvious from when the rumors started that this game would suck. Microsoft doesn't have a team that could develop a good fighting game, and KI was never deep enough to be resurrected anyway.

 

[Various Artists]

I'm 31 and clearly remember the huge throngs of people watching this in the arcades and jerking off to the graphics when I was 14.

Im 29 and me and my friends loved it. Fucking 40 are you kidding me? What is that person 8 playing COD?

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

It was obvious from when the rumors started that this game would suck. Microsoft doesn't have a team that could develop a good fighting game, and KI was never deep enough to be resurrected anyway.

Starfire Studios could have done it. They are comprised of all old veteran Rare employees and three of them worked directly on the first Killer Instinct.

EDIT: Starfire Studios so far has only created games for the 360 and Windows Phone 7.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Jago doesn't look like Jago anymore Wonder if he'll have his resurrection move from KI2 which was awesome.

 

[BizzyBum]

I bet you my Xbox One that the game will be awful.

Either way, I win.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Wait not Rare?

Double Helix? LOOLOOOOLOOOOL

 

[Kai Dracon]

While the visual style doesn't really seem to evoke Killer Instinct at all, KI itself was never exactly a five star game.

I don't think it would be that hard for this game to play better and overall be a superior fighting game compared to KI - only compared to KI, understand.

 

[RM8]

Okay, I just saw the list of Double Helix released titles.

Why.

Oh well, I also felt like this when I learned Griptonite was behind Shinobi 2011 and it turned out amazing. I guess anything can happen.

 

[Socreges]

Wait, why would you guys want Rare developing this? Everyone that worked on KI, and the rest of their classics, is gone. It's been a completely different studio for years. Why else are they working on Kinect Sports instead of the sorts of games that made them popular in the first place?

 

[Poker Face]

Nobody under 40 will have heard of this game.

hypeboleeeee

I'm 20 and played Killer Instinct Gold in the late 90s.

Why isn't Rare developing it? Come on Microsoft.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Called it. I said it'd be a different studio. MS kept on saying "Rare and Rare IP".

 

[tkscz]

Not sure if this will be good knowing that Double Helix is working on it. Their Jago model is hideous.

 

[LTWheels]

I don't know if that has been posted yet, Filthierich is working on the game:

@Filthierich
The new game im working on is... #KILLERINSTINCT !! ARE YOU READY TO GET CRAYZ?! Hit me up this week @DoubleHelixGame is my new family

 

[?oe?oe]

Jago on steroids. A gaming trend.

 

[Kandinsky]

Lol thats no Jago.

Smh.

 

[Kandinsky]

Is it just me or this screen screams Kinect gesture? lol

 

[Justice_dp]

Hell yes. It looks good to me.

And sorry - I'm 29 and KI was part of my teens, with this great godly black cart and the CD for the soundtrack...

Today was a good day for MS!

 

[Cloudius12]

I don't know if that has been posted yet, Filthierich is working on the game:

There might be hope after all.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the art style reminds me of Tao Feng. Something just...bad about it. Granted KI didn't have the greatest art style to begin with but this is not only bad, it doesn't really seem to be a throwback to the old KI style either. It's strange.

 

[DecoyOctopus]

THIS!

 

[Hindle]

So what are Rare up to if they're not working on this?

 

[Coolwhip]

Is it just me or this screen screams Kinect gesture? lol

Why bring back an old franchise and make it look NOTHING like it?

 

[louie]

Finally! I've wanted a new killer instinct for so long.

(Graphically speaking it looks like shit though. I hate all the redesigns.)

 

[Terbinator]

I'm 22 and spent many, many hours on the N64 playing KI:G.

Kids, man.

 

[milkham]

I'm truly surprised anyone was asking for this or is excited for it.

 

[Jaruru]

So what are Rare up to if they're not working on this?

kinect sport game............. lol
