New Details From the Devs of Killer Instinct: Fulgore, Spinal and Cinder Coming!

Hype still increasing! Ken Lobb being involved is huge, Im liking every new detail I hear about this game except all this different digital price package bullshit.

JUST RELEASE THE FULL GAME ON A FUCKING DISC GOD DAMMIT.

*Ahem*
 
Fucking cinder is exciting to hear. I hope they bring everyone back and just add more people. Tusk, tj combo, orchid, kim woo are good characters
 
I would be surprised if the entire original cast minus eyedol don't make it. It's only 10 characters. The KI2 characters dont need to be added, just drop them.

ITS LIKE YOU GUYS FORGOT ABOUT RIPTOR

edit: Orchid's uniform and riot sticks from KI2 were pretty badass.

How about no. Forget Riptor, awful character. Also hated Orchids redesign in KI2.

But I'm sure you're still a good person.
 
The Killer Instinct Tarzan duo were some of the worst, I hope they don't return. I wouldn't mind Kim Wu coming back.

But people screaming BLOODY MURDER because ORCHID ISN'T IN THIS are being a little bit over reactive, we've had only SIX characters confirmed thus far.
 
Maya please.

The part that interests me is that this is only a five week old game and the devs are actively reaching out to the fans and FGC for feedback.

Game looks incredible regardless and the nigh universal positive reaction has me very hyped.

Let's do a roll call, shall we?

BOLD -> Confirmed.

Sabrewulf

EDIT: Wow, didn't realise how little characters there were! I would be surprised if they ALL didn't make it in plus a few more, tbh.

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.

Orchid is probably the most iconic KI character. They're just saving the best for last.
 
AWESOME!

I expect all the original characters will be in the game. Gargos was mentioned in an interview Miles did so maybe he will come back also.
 
The stream got me way crazy hype about this game. Orchid is the only character left that I need to be happy, but I would like to see the entire original cast.

Everything seems to be pointing toward a competitive focus so far. Now we just need to get around the DRM issues for tournaments. The FGC could be the heroes that changed the restrictive DRM! (wishful thinking)

Trust me. The game is very solid, very well
balanced and looks much better in person. It's still Killer Instinct. There really isn't anything to hate unless you never liked Killer Instinct to begin with.
 
Gonna be cool to see Cinder again. Now all we need is Riptor.
They can ditch the KI2 losers for all I care.

My interest is piqued by the new characters too

OH AND CHANGE SABREWULF'S DESIGN PLEASE, HE'S WAY TOO CARTOONY

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.

The character design is one of the most blatant flaws in the game so far. Everything else looks relatively okay except for that.

That's the good thing about F2P. They can keep updating the game and adding content easily!
 
I'm excited about what I've seen so far and what they're talking about, but the fact remains KI is doomed to fail. They're putting it out on a system that so far hasn't done much to endear itself to many 360 owners (or gamers in general), and the fact that fighting games typically only sell to a small percentage of a console's user-base doesn't bode well. That means the game isn't going to sell for shit because the Xbox One likely won't either (at least initially...), and that means the IP will be dead again afterwards.

If they had put this out on the 360, it would have stood a chance. Even a small percentage of 50 million+ players would lead to potentially impressive sales numbers. Especially on an established console with an existing group of players who love fighting games.

That said, I have a 360 and I love it, but I'm not buying an Xbox One. Certainly not just for KI.
 
Yeah it looks like there will be a "full" version to purchase too, we won't be stuck with DLC one character at a time.

My only problem is not with KI, but with the viability of tournament play with all the Xbox restrictions. All systems must be placed so that it connects with the internet (on separate profiles), must have a Kinect (with voice commands turned off), must have the game installed. Even with 4 systems, that's a huge pain in the ass.
 
ALL OF MY REQUESTS CONFIRMED IN ONE FUCKING GAF POST. I AM SO HYPE.

KLOBB /HAS/ TO BE THE ANNOUNCER FOR KI3. THAT SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE HIM.

EXCIIIITE.

There's video of him playing KI on the show floor in the main KI3 thread, so I wouldn't be surprised. I didn't know he was the announcer for the original KI!

"Coming soon to your home on the Nintendo Ultra 64 in 1995!"

So much wrong with that sentence and I love it. I laughed every time I heard that at the arcade post-1996.

I completely agree. The gameplay impressions are sounding good, and even the stage design looks good, but those characters are yuck.

I guess having an alternate "classic" costume might mostly fix Jago, but Sabrewulf just looks weird in the face. I'm all for new characters, but you can't change the character style that much. No one asked for this, just give us a more detailed version of the characters we haven't seen for 20 years. This is on the level of cube-nosed Banjo imo.

Also, I miss Jago's green magic

Great to hear man! While you are there telling them about Orchid, ask about physical release! It sounds like it won't happen because of MS's strategy but I would love a physical copy of Killer Instinct so bad. Just for old times sake.
 
Nemesis_ said:
YES

#TEAMJOANNA

She really wouldn't fit in though, but I am still steam pressed we saw nothing of Perfect Dark
Click to expand...
Haha, yeah. Not the best mash up but I wouldn't care just to see PD acknowledged!

We could get a really ripped Banjo, kind of jaded looking like Sabrewulf. I can see it.
 
Um, they had better put no Mercies and Humiliations back in there! Not necessary, my ass! This game is supposed to capitalize on our nostalgia, and taking out finishers is not the way to do that.

If the game ends up being awesome then I'll be the first to come out and admit it but as it currently stands, I'm not into it AT ALL and I'm a fan of the originals. It looks like they've tried to ride off the success of Street Fighter IV (much like Mortal Kombat 2011 did) and added into combos because that's what Killer Instinct was all about.

There is one area of the game that I cannot see myself changing my stance on it and that would be the art style, we may have found a game that looks even uglier than Street Fighter IV. I didn't wait 16 years to get a Killer Instinct game farmed out to the guys behind Green Lantern & GI Joe.

Just by name. As mentioned a ton by now, they pretty much built a brand new team just for this game.
 
So how will the fighting community handle xbox one.

-No disk swapping so everyone will need to have the game on the system at tournaments

-Systems will need to connect to the internet for logging into xbl and for the DRM check.
