Iron Galaxy Studios to Develop Season 2 of Killer Instinct

[Eric The Scruffy]

Second TYM question of the day

How many game companies does it take to finish one ?

For a AAA title, a surprising amount. Not counting publishers you can officially often can have multiple large studios working together on various aspects of the game and or dlc content, and Unofficially you may have small subcontractor studios working under them. Microsoft and Bungie for example contracted out a lot of work for Halo's DLC maps to Certain Affinity.

This is a somewhat unorthodox situation though given that the primary studio leading development has walked away and given everything over to the new developer.....

 

[Name v.5.0]

Well....That character trailer sure looked...shitty....

 

[G4S KT]

lmao AND, over at event hubs, the comments section for the announcement is overwhelmingly positive with tons of support for KI and IG.

THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD

what does it mean when event hubs commenters refrain from shitting on anything other an SF4 compilation of [insert japanese player]? I don't know. I think that's happened, like, twice

Recharge trait, I'll call u in 12 secs and we can attack again

 

[TotteryManx]

I have faith in IG. The game is already laid out in a way...just stick to the formula? lol

Why is there so much attitude towards KI and this transition? Were you expecting NRS to get the job? lol...KI is a really good game.

 

[Vagrant]

Just shut up and give me my robot.

WTF are we talking about seeding in this thread?

On topic; They added online lobbies and arcade mode? jebus

Maybe Fulgore's chest laser automatically locks on to people that say using seeding for skill is bad for tournaments.

If so, I would day 1 main

 

[Johnny San]

I see the seeding ride never ends.

I'm withholding my judgement until I see what this team puts out. At least it seems my game is about to be finished soon.

 

[Slips]

Awesome news. Congrats @Delriach

 

[BanTheTesters]

Microsoft has announced via Polygon that Iron Galaxy Studios will be developing Season 2 of Killer Instinct for Xbox One.

Possible PC port imminent..?

 

[Sajam]

I'm ok with this. As long as they don't drastically change anything and made the fixes they need to, this should be fine.

Also, go argue about seeding in the seeding thread before I spread my seed all over you both.

 

[Immortal]

Can you just take this shit about seeding to PM's or to thread actually created to talk about that? @TakeAChance and @AK Pig Of The Hut

Has really nothing to do with KI nor Fulgore.

I really hope for a PC port.

PC port would rule and help the game

+1 for PC port. Considering Microsoft's "renewed focus" on PC gaming (aka "Valve are kicking are arse and might now lure gamers to Linux") this would be a very nice gesture. From recent history it seems fighting games sell well on the PC anyway.

 

[juicepouch]

give me combo already

MS says they are going to start focusing on PC gaming at least once or twice a year, and nothing every comes of it.

But man would it be awesome.

 

[deathblooms2k4]

Didn't 3rd Strike get patched recently? Was that IG? I'm pretty happy about this for both fulgore who looks great and for IG taking over development. Really don't understand the NRS hate towards KI. Everything seems backwards, Capcom community seems to be more accepting of the game than NRS.

Fully aware, but that was when Valve still heaving promoted Windows. Considering the effort they've gone to to make Steam and their games multi-format and SteamOS being Linux based, there's now a risk of it cutting into the Windows share. That alone should get more of MS's attention this time around than some ports of years old Xbox games.

They said they are focusing on PC gaming? Then why are they shutting down Windows Live? lol

KI is sadly just a casualty of the NRS infighting over Injustice.
Some members used KI as a means to troll Injustice players, so it sorta ruined the games reputation on this forum.

Not to say that's all it is, some people have legit reason to not like it, but if it wasn't for all the bad blood, there would just be a lot of indeference, instead of a dogpile of negativity.

Windows live is beyond saving.

To be honest, most PC gamers view that as a positive move in the right direction for microsoft. Lol.

Well, I'm a PC gamer and I would think they would work to make it better, but it's probably more hassle than its worth when everything can be ran via Steam.

Really nice trailer, and great that more content is coming. And fulgor's laser...
