Thanks to RareFanDaBase! Check it out: http://www.rarefandabase.com/exclusive-fresh-details-from-the-developers-of-killer-instinct-for-xbox-one/

Development began on Xbox One. It was never in development for Xbox 360 as many seem to believe.
The demo at E3 was put together within five weeks time.
The game will be ready in time for Xbox One’s launch.
It is indeed “free-to-play”, but there will be different packages available to purchase.
No Mercy’s and Ultimate Combo’s are currently not planned for the game as the developers believe “they aren’t necessary”. This can change, however, if the fan community pushes for them to be included. This would mostly likely happen as patch later on, however.
Aside from Jago, Sabrewulf and Glacius, returning characters will currently include Fulgore, Spinal and Cinder. They promise to have Cinder more balanced than he was in the original Killer Instinct. There will also be brand new characters designed for the game.
The game is a blend of both the original Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2/Gold.
The developers are working very closely with Rare and Ken Lobb on the project. They are also getting feedback from professionals in the gaming fighting scene.
The E3 Demo alone is over two million lines of code.
It’s possible to enter an Ultra Combo, exit it, and then re-enter it again for a very powerful Ultra Combo. The developers say they’ve yet to see anyone pull it off.
The environments in the game are fully destructible. As combos are continually done, the level falls apart. If the match is finished with an Ultra Combo, then the entire arena will “explode”.
The voices in the game are being recorded by professional actors.
The combo system is a bit more “streamlined” so that anyone will be able to pull off big combos.

I am so freaking stoked for Fulgore! Also really interested to see how he is designed.
 
New characters is good, but I feel like out of all of the old characters, Orchid is one of the most important ones. I hope she makes it in too. Especially since Jago is.

Yeah, it sounds like they are very open to feedback, especially since it is so early for them so if enough people say Orchid, which they are, then I can definitely see her coming back.

I sincerely doubt Orchid won't make the cut when she was the first female in the series. Kim Wu and Maya were KI2 additions.

I wouldn't mind Kim Wu returning, either. She's my favorite to play in KI2. But yeah, I don't actually expect Orchid will be missing, because she's too popular.

Like fuck they aren't they were the best part of the original series. Without those this is not KI, this is KI: Lite.

She also won the first KI tournament. Orchid is must.

There is no possible way a fighting game will NOT have iconic female characters.
 
Orchid or no buy.

This game looks amazing. I was worried about MS taking it from Rare, but it seems they put it into very capable and passionate hands.
 
there is no way Orchid wouldn't be in this. That would be like leaving Chun out of SF (nobody gives a shit about SF3), Mai out of KOF, or Kitana out of MK.
 
Wait no Ultimate combos? Did I read that right?

edit: And no Orchid? What fucking game is this? Not only does she need to be in there her banana boobs should be their own playable character.

She will definitely be in there. I never much warmed to any of the characters from 2/gold, so I hope to see TJ and Riptor in there as well.

Pretty expected that they will go for multiple purchase 'packs'

I can't remember what ultimate combos are and I guess no mercys are fatalities? So far there don't seem to be fatalities. Ultra combos are in and are available when the opponent is low on health.
 
I have the first two and KI is one of my favorite fighters. If/when I get an Xbone I'll get it. But I would get one of the packages mentioned.

That's somewhat alarming, since Killer Instinct's combo's were already very "streamlined" to begin with.

If you have been watching this stream, it still has the ability to be pretty hardcore. I hope to God for my sake that Microsofts new matchmaking is really that good because I will get owned by these guys.
 
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMBOOOO. Where the fuck is he?
 
I was so worried about this game.

I heard that Double Helix was making it, and not Rare. I then heard that it was a F2P game, and thought the worst (see the Tekken game that came out today).

Then I heard it was a whole new team pretty much built for a fighting game, and then they explained they were basically just giving a character away for free for SP and MP, and charging for other stuff. Then I saw the game in a real demo, not some staged, 30 second clio.

Hot damn. Has to be one of the biggest, fastest turnarounds I've had on a game in quite some time. I really love everything I'm seeing in this game.
 
Its going to have 100% all the original characters. Anyone who "hopes" orchid will make the cut is dumb. This is f2p. They are going to do all characters in addition ti adding new ones.

Yeah man, that trailer while exciting totally did not do the game justice.
 
This game...THIS GAME!!! I loved the original and was pretty hooked up on it. I can't even count the ammount of hours I put into that game.

This game is the only game that's making me consider getting an Xbone, and trust me, I DON'T HAVE ANY INTEREST in getting an Xbone.
 
How does everyone feel about the character design? Also the smoothness of the old games seems to have been lost. Dont know how i feel about the look of saberwolf, one of my favorite characters. BETTER HAVE THUNDER.

They have grown on me while watching but at first I was uneasy about it. A lot could change though I guess with the time they have and with how early it still is.

To be fair the stream was 30fps while the game is 60fps, so it is going to look choppier than it is. Jago looks a bit overbuff to me, but it kind of fits with the trailer. I'm guessing Liefeld proportions for everyone.

I'm surprised that Orchid hasn't been announced already but we can all expect to see Orchid in the game. Hopefully Kim Wu is in this one, she was awesome.
 
This game does look satisfying, i remember the thrill of combos in KI games being insane. DAAAAMN @ entire arena exploding.

DAY ONE
