New Killer Instinct Announced for XBOX ONE!

Perdition

Your friendly neighborhood cynic
I am a Midway/Netherrealm studios loyalist...mostly because the style of their fighters fit like a glove for me and are the only ones I have ever played religiously. Not getting the XBox One for this even though I am have strictly played the 360 this gen. Microsoft are a bunch of crooks that won't get my business next gen. Besides, KI3 honestly is a bit too much flash and explosion of colors for my taste. Seen enough gameplay to know this isn't for me at all.

The graphics are fine when met with an open mind. That's not to say I don't prefer the darker KI graphics, because I do. However, it's possible the art direction chosen for the KI reboot was to be clean, sharp and artistic so that it ages well.

Usually when games try to be realistic they end up looking like ass a year or two down the line because the realism of its time gets surpassed.

For instance, MK9 will look like ass when MK10 comes out but the way Killer Instinct is looking, I doubt it will look bad in the future because it stresses art over realism.

I'm cool with it and very FUCKING HYPE FOR THIS SHIT!!

Wrong game looks like shit

Agree 100% I was kinda saying it cuz most people r crying about the graphics and art style already so if they is room for improving than by all means if not I'm still in love with it!

double helix is the result of a three-way merger between three video game developers....foundation 9, the collective, and shiny entertainment, a part of foundation 9, is responsible for Godzilla Unleashed, Godzilla: Save the Earth, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, and Deadliest Warrior: The Game.

backbone entertainment, now a part of the collective/foundation9, is responsible for Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. backbone/foundation9 are also responsible for porting Marvel vs Capcom 2 to XBLA and PSN, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 to XBLA.

shiny entertainment had a fighting game in development dubbed Age of Elements that was cancelled in 2007. shiny entertainment was also sold by interplay entertainment, the company responsible for publishing Clay Fighters 1 (developed by Visual Concepts though), and developing Clay Fighters 2 and 63 1/3. i'm unsure if any of the shiny entertainment guys had anything to do with that series.

so that's.....
-Godzilla Unleashed
-Godzilla Save the Earth
-Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee
-Deadliest Warrior The Game
-HD Remix
-ports of MvC2 and UMK3

Wow, Jago looks really lame. Body proportions are wierd too.

Shadow Jago exclusive to Day One for FOUR MONTHS? What the...? That's dumb too.
I think it means -and the same thing they are doing with skullgirls squigly- is that he will be free of price and after four months, he will cost money. And additional characters sold separately sound like DLC. So we may get the main cast of KI 1 and 2, then brand new characters.

I think the offer will only be available for 4 months (but you can use them until you drop the game)... but then again... that doesn't really make sense. I have no idea... :p
Yea it does,makes perfect sense...cuz we're talking about a game for the Xbox One. Anybody else just get done watchin the Sony Conference?? PS4 BYTCHES!!!!!!!!!LoL.That was great..so happy they presented and said everything most of us gamers wanted to hear,do wish Killer Instinct and Halo was over there but screw it I'm gone

Get over here!
For those of you that are going to purchase an xbox one just for KI, props to you. You must be a real passionate fan to fork out $600 for just one game.
I think most people are changing their minds right about now... and if not... I would fork over $600 dollars for MK10. So I cant really talk. :)

Yeah I'm afraid I'm gonna pass on this lol. I'm gonna watch people play it and follow it closely but I don't think I'll play it at all.

Doesn't look good enough to justify an XboxOne purchase. If I'm going to be paying 500$ for just one game it better be the best game ever and so far I'd be lying if I said I was impressed by anything I saw. I just have moderate nostalgic chills.

Eh I'll buy Xbox cuz it has the games I like on it. I have nothing against PS4 and will probably get one of those too eventually. But none of their games have me pumped like KI does. My 2nd fav fg series besides MK.

i respect it. Although I think the chance of KI being a tourney game is slim right now. What TO is going to want to deal with all of the xbone flaws? (online and kinect req. & price)

After watching Sony Conference, I wish this game's publishers would just drop Xbox and go to Sony. Because who's gonna buy their game if no one buys an XboxOne to begin with... ^_^
