[Jarlaxle]

Can't wait for this game. I think I've watched every single piece of media and all the streams since this was announced in June. I'm super pumped for it but will still probably suck.

Add me if you want an easy match. My gamertag is Jarlaxe.

 

[Marvel]

Looks like I'm getting Ultra edition as an early Christmas present then.

 

[rokkerkory]

omg - I can finally post! Thanks!

I can't wait until this game is out. Do you guys know if/when the soundtrack will be out?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

As a person who never played the original KI games and as a person who generally dislikes fighting games...

I realllllly want this game!

 

[Dubbmobile]

Can't wait to see dem classic costumes!!!

 

[Tsundere]

Awesome. When Xbox One falls to a reasonable price I'll be picking one up just to play KI.

 

[Nori Chan]

Pin Ultimate Edition comes out Day One now

 

[Rey]

Get Hype!!

 

[Prezhulio]

Am I understanding right that you can unlock everything (costumes and accessory) in the $40 version EXCEPT the original KI in the $20 version just by playing?

 

[EatChildren]

Soundtrack of the year.

No

$20 you can unlock 2 accessory sets per character
$40 you can unlock 3...

Classic costumes are $40 only

 

[Miles X]

No fancy graphics? Am disappoint.

Can't wait for KI, possibly my most hyped XBO launch game.

 

[yankeehater]

This was so much fun on the tour event. Cant wait for it to come out.

 

[derFeef]

Soundtrack of the year.

 

[LSauchelli]

Great OP.

I got a question, if you buy the $20 version, can you upgrade to the Ultimate one by paying an additional $20 and get the KI1 Arcade?

 

[mr stroke]

My overpriced launch day Madkatz stick is ready



I didn't really want to drop another $200 on a stick but I am so hyped for this game I had to buy it, as the Xbone pad can't be good enough for a fighter?


Can't wait till next Friday!

 

[zainetor]

Soundtrack of the year.

nah, that's rising. This is a good second place.

 

[T.O.P]

[StudioTan]

I played a bit of this and it's really fucking fun, even if you suck at fighting games like me. I'm really looking forward to the tutorial mode to learn the intricacies of this. Picking up the $40 version.

 

[Silky]

nah, that's rising. This is a good second place.

Anarchy > KI > Rising so far

Like, I will most likely bump the Anarchy Reigns soundtrack as I practice in KI.

 

[LowerLevel]

I got the offer for the free Combo Breaker Pack. Wonder if I can upgrade to the Ultra Edition for 20 dollars.

(Grumble)

 

[ironcreed]

The $40.00 download seems like a great deal. I'll likely be getting this as well.

 

[shaowebb]

Maximillian is in heaven I bet.

 

[Winterfang]

I don't like the OP. It lacks flail and the pizzazz the game has and it scares me with the paragraphs upon paragraphs of complicated technical mumbo jumbo. That aside, Bring it on! =)

 

[sixteen-bit]

OT subtitle is mad weak compared to the suggested ones

super hyped for the game though!

I have to agree... OT looks no hype at all. oh well.

 

[GavinGT]

Best Friends Gettin' Hype For KILLER INSTINCT!

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Great OP.

I got a question, if you buy the $20 version, can you upgrade to the Ultimate one by paying an additional $20 and get the KI1 Arcade?

In the last stream they said "stay tuned" so I wouldn't rule it out but I also wouldn't count on it.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Has there been any info released about the original KI arcade port?

Is it emulated? Is the emulation flawless? Is it modified in any way? I'm assuming they won't want to leave the Nintendo/Ultra 64 attract in there. How are they going to do that if they're not directly emulating the arcade original? Are we getting the possibility of changing the options like you could in the arcade's config menu (Blood, Difficulty, etc.)? Etc...

 

[friskykillface]

hmmmm interesting, thought the only way to get Killer Instinct arcade (first game) was to buy the pin edition, but buying it for $40 seems good for me.

very tempted to get the $40 version but at the moment im just getting the $20 version.


hyped, lets do this B^) i am ready.

 

[Archpath1]

Don't have a clue how he was selling them for $159 shipped, but I wasn't going to pass it up.

 

[Nori Chan]

Kinda off topic, but does anybody know when the Xbox One thread will be up or who's making it?

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

get dat Shadow Jago, and Bear Thunder up in here.

Don't forget about Mega Orchid!

 

[weeeeezy]

...it only costs 100$ here in EU but ok, enjoy!


Seriousl though, freakin Amazon Uk still has 31/12 for the stick shipping date

 

[The Bankslammer]

super hyped to get this game down the road when i get an xbone. i'll admit that i came in EXTREMELY skeptical after the e3 reveal but double helix has been doing a great job assuaging those worries.

 

[.la1n]

Oh yes time to post in the OT instead of jumping from update to update.

• Arcade port
• Includes v.1 and v.1.5 which fixed some stuff like the Cinder infinite combo
• Has a new Training Mode
• Unlockable character sprites and cinematics that can be viewed
• Original or Rasterized for HD visual options
• No online but could be patched in later

 

[Hindle]

"Next gen doesn't start until Fulgore says so" should have been the OT title.

 

[Nori Chan]

Kinda off topic too but where is that avatar of yours from? Me likey...

hey i like yours too


Some fanart I found on reddit

 

[LakeEarth]

I won't lie this game is making me consider an Xbox One.

Seriously. If MS didn't shit the bed so bad I'd have bought the One just for KI.

 

[Ramocalypse]

I literally punched my friend in the stomach from excitement when this was announced at E3 (don't worry it wasn't that hard), I have been waiting for so long for this. I looked for a Killer instinct announcement every E3 since MS bought Rare. I will soon be able to die a happy man.

The classic game also has a separate achievement list too.

 

[dankir]

Didn't we agree on the other OT name that Max suggested?

Jesus christ 1,000 gamerscore for KI classic

A huge regret was missing the E3 trailer live. I was watching the Live stream, but ran to the washroom when the Ryse talk didn't interest me. I got back and caught the last 5 seconds. I would've had a Max-like reaction to it.

 

[JakenBear]

Really looking forward to this.

Has anyone been able to find out which edition Xbox gave away via email?
They mentioned unlocking free characters but I'm hoping we can upgrade to the $40 edition.

Nah, we were just throwing out suggestions but for the record I liked that one the best.
