Is this a free-to-play game? The description about other characters being sold separately makes it look that way.
 
holy shit this looks awful

Always wanted another game in this series. (I know, I know...)
Sucks that there will never be one.
 
I echo the sentiments in here. It looks like crap. I thought they were not going to show more after the first snippet, but then they had the awkward on-stage match. :\

Too cartoony. KI was defined by the plasticy CG look. Also, doesn't look much above what we've seen on the 360. Pretty disappointing.

Not sure if I got a nostalgia kick out of the announcer. Nah, it felt out of place. Way too 90s. KI should have stayed there.
 
Looks like SFIV on steriods. Lots of flash.

I would love to own it instead of renting it until ms decides they no longer want to pay for their servers. Such a shame
 
I really...REALLY don't like the art. Jago looks like a hobo with rope suspenders, sabrewolf is an Avatar, and I don't know what's going on with Glacius.

I really love KI though. Love, as in, I wrote a report on it once in school

Looks really awful its not even nostalgia or get used to art style, just looks bad. Looks like one of those Gameloft copy games. MS decided this games quality when it chose Double Helix
 
I leapt from my sofa as soon as I heard that announcer scream Killer instinct!! Who cares if its a different look , This is a reboot we all wanted and we got it. Im pumped for this cant wait to see more. Day 1.
 
WHAT IN THE FUCK?

I really can't believe they are really reviving this mes of a fighting game. But..... i'm really curious to see what will come.
 
Now this looked cool.

Also to people saying bad things about Double Helix- Sanzaru Games didn't make anything good before Sly 4, ya'know.
 
Tugged at the nostalgia strings pretty hard, but game looked like trash in the 5 seconds of it we got to see.

I'm guessing this isn't going to be $15 download title either, but instead a full priced retail game? Ah well. See what comes of it, though since it's an XBONE exclusive (I'm' remembering that right, right? It was 330 in the morning and I haven't slept much since then, heh) I don't really have a horse in this race.
 
Rare hasn't had multiple teams since pre-Nuts & Bolts.

Every employee in the company is either working on Kinect Sports, miscellaneous Kinect technology, or Avatar clothes.

Not true.

There are two teams at Twycross and the Kinect team in Digbeth (Birmingham)
 
Just got home from work and shit my pants when I saw that they are actually making a new KI, holy shit.

Ive been waiting for this since fucking 1996!

Then I saw the gameplay and character design and God Dammit it just doesnt look right, but Im holding out hope that they have time to fix the art style and gameplay in the next 5 months or so.

If they somehow get it right Ill be forced to buy an Xbone just for this fucking game.
 
I wouldn't be surprised that Rare is working in conjunction with Double Helix. Like how Dimps worked with Capcom on SFIV.

Double Helix has a write up of their design on Jago. http://www.doublehelixgames.com/jago-announced-as-the-first-character-for-killer-instinct/

Building on the exaggerated visual style of the original Killer Instinct, the new Jago has an angular, stylized look. His past struggles have him gripped in a crisis of faith, which shows in his weathered, embattled look. Clothed in shredded cloth and tapestry from the Tiger Temple, he clings to his solemn search for answers.

To develop Jago’s new look, we worked with Eric Canete, a world-renowned illustrator who has contributed to projects such as Aeon Flux, The Batman, and Justice League Unlimited. Eric’s stylized approach is jammed with invention, helping to give the monk an inner life and desperate purpose which earns him a place among the roster of extreme characters planned for Killer Instinct.

Building on Eric’s concepts, art director Bob Donatucci drove the in-game look for Jago. Bob started by redefining the warrior’s signature reads (his mask, sword, and sash), and crafting a story behind every detail of Jago’s costume and home arena...

 
SF4 went a lot different with the graphic styles from 3S and Zero 3. I'm fine with the graphical change. All that matters is gameplay. Hopefully it is well balanced, even with ULTRA COMBOOOO
 
Wait, this isn't even being made by Rare? Rare's Xbone game is seriously Kinect Sports 3? Double Helix???

God damn it. MS continues to flush whatever talent Rare has left down the toilet.
 
I looooooooooooooooooooooved Killer instinct as a kid. Its sucks that this is on Xbone but I may wind up buying one. Dem combos
 
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

Is he not with Bandai-Namco and the Tekken/SC crew anymore?
 
It looks okay I guess, not really pushing it graphics wise though.

Oh and those comments on the twitch demo were hilariously fake, "Gonna be totes sick on Kinect!"

lol @ "Someone should call PETA"

Wow! So many of you must have already played the game to give such brutal feedback.

Oh wait...

Shut up.

"We bitch, whine and post stupid shit about games but we rarely play them"

This should be the slogan of this forum.
 
was excited until I heard Double Helix was making it? What is Rare's involvement? and it kind of sucks MS didn't even bother trying to get a single member of the original dev team or try and put together a team that would do well on the project. Nice try Microsoft
 
I think it is F2P no? Looks pretty decent so far, curious to see what the other characters look like.


edit: Rare's logo is listed at the end of every video I've seen, so I assume they are providing assistance with parts of the game.
