I agree. What we really need is the new dev to get the art to be more consistent and cohesive. Alot of minor touches on the game would go along way.

I would love to see them bring out redone versions of the classic stages, I think that would be great!

Did they say in the last stream when we should see or hear about the new dev and season 2?

This game even with its lack of content, some questionable art and not even 1080p, its been my fav next gen game so far

The art direction really needs a much clearer

Spoiler

better

vision that hopefully the new dev will bring. The frustrating thing is a lot of the design flaws are fairly quick fixes/tweaks that DH just wont do or maybe doesnt have the time to.

IIRC they said we would hear who the new dev is fairly soon after Fulgore/Story mode is released..whatever that means. I bought my xbone for this game and I dont regret it, despite my issues with some of the art choices I love it, most fun Ive had playing a game in years. Also have DR3 which is amazing, debating getting Titanfall but Im terrible at FPS i just get bodied over and over till I quit haha.

I bought DR3 at launch and havent taken it out of the shrinkwrap yet :0 . Titanfall is alot of fun and I totally recommend it and I suck at it and its still alot of fun!

Ummmmm, so I just lost all of my progress online. Not even sure what happened. Had over 200 matches played online, was a level 6, and I just logged on to play.... and i've lost all of my progress. What the hell? Anyway to reverse this?

edit: I also lost everything i've bought using kp (costumes, etc.) even maps.

Just sounds like your save was corrupted, so yeah, everything gone For me, it happened because the game said I switched profiles in the middle of post-match saving (Kinect misinterpreted some cheering in local MP as "person left the frame")

The game doesn't save anything server-side the way it seems, so if it's ruined on your console, it's just... gone.

Sorry

Damn.... I mean, it sucks pretty bad but I wasn't that far in anyways. I could easily get my ran back in a couple days. Just couldn't imagine this happening to me if I had been playing for a couple months.

"potentially a delay"

he knows as much as we do. I'm thinking a delay will happen, but who knows?

 

[malfcn]

Max normally has a pretty good line on things.

 

[OJdaKiller]

Needed to beat just one Thunder to get the achievement for this month's pin, and I only ran into one.

It was probably the biggest comeback I've ever done and I won. I'm not very good, but I'm very good at headgames and throwing my opponent..This and sweeping won me the game..I couldn't believe it. I don't know why more people aren't throwing all the time. It works very well.

I'm almost considering uploading it because it was such a scrubby, impossible, come from behind win..Looked awful, but felt good.

 

[abracadaver]

Season 2 announcement at E3 ?

"potentially a delay"

The smartest thing to do would have been to keep the promise of Story / Fulgore in March by only working on those components and getting them ready. All this additional content they are adding is great but could have waited until after the March update and will only increase the development time and certification time of the patch.

 

[Korosenai]

Is there anyway to upgrade from the combo pack to the ultra pack without dishing out another $40?

 

[.la1n]

No. I would also not bet on there being one at all or in the near future. We were told it was being worked on since December / early January and so far nothing. You aren't missing out on anything important by not going Ultra so I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Pinultimate Edition worth getting? I like having physical cases for all my games if possible, even if the game itself is digital.

 

[Durock]

Yep! You should get that one. Get the book, two pins, Ultimate edition with Classic KI, and it's the only way you can win the pins without having to pay for them (minus shipping). Definitely worth it!

The case is pretty nicely done.

 

[Silky]

Classic Thunder in this reindition is really bad but at the same time it's better than KI1 thunder. Though I like that mockup alot

 

[dankir]

I don't have internet access at home for a few days. Was playing survival mode and no trails were being unlocked nor achievements.

Is that actually the case or is it a glitch?

I think it is, but the actual case isn't the same size as a regular XBO case, it's pretty big.

Yeah I remember distinctly a few weeks ago when during the Thursday stream they told us to look forward to the next week for surprises...that following week there was no stream: surprise!

lol

Also notice he said lots to talk about. Talking could imply they are just going to have a stream like with Spinal where they didn't show him but answered questions regarding how he plays. Set expectations low guys.

Dave Lang? He's putting Dive Kick on their new console and he didn't really talk mess about them on the latest GB podcast. He's not exactly someone to hold back words, so I'm sure they're alright.

Cool. Divekick looks pretty interesting. I might get it if it's a good price.

Yup, I'm parched. Keeping my fingers crossed for a Fulgore stealth release this week.

Ever since they released the game they have lost so many viewers on the stream.

 

[.la1n]

Ever since they released the game they have lost so many viewers on the stream.

Combination of lack of interest and the streams used to actually show new builds of the game but after release they quit doing that.

 

[SAB CA]

Ever since they released the game they have lost so many viewers on the stream.

People got into their heads (with no lack of trying from the group streaming) that the streams were all insider-style content preview media...

...when in reality, PlayXBLA constantly streams Xbox 360 content daily ALL THE TIME, and KI was just getting added to those small little fan-pleasing streams as a new game.

I'd have loved for it to be something more akin to a fighting game insider-focused stream on K.I., where it was full of weeks of pure development talk, testing hitboxes, showing off in-game concepts and prototypes at the earliest stages of presentable development, and always ending with a "You saw it here... now play it first on XBL Tonight in a special developers playlist!" deal, but that's just not what it is. I'd love to see it approach that level though; I wouldn't mind a console version of the Skullgirls' "Endless Beta" at all.

Yeah he was requesting help a while back for the same thing. A lot of people jumped to the conclusion of TJ Combo but it could be something completely unrelated to Killer Instinct.

I'm not going to allow myself to even entertain the possibility of a release tomorrow considering it sounded like they intended to do screen shots / trailer ahead of a release this time. Best case scenario we might get the trailer and some game play tomorrow which would be pretty awesome. Worst case we get a few screen with a release in two weeks.

So, the current weekly challenge ends in about 20 hours... think they'll have some Fulgore pictures (and achievements) leak out once time is out? We did see such a thing happen with Spinal...

Leaks seem to be the only way we get any information on this game so we can hope.
