KI - team working with MS regarding "tournament concerns", new character reveal at EVO 2013

[STORMS]

With Killer Instinct just being revealed yesterday at E3 there's been a ton of discussion surrounding it as well as a huge flow of information. One of the biggest concerns with Killer Instinct was the fact that it will be a digital game exclusive to the Xbox One. With this being said, players were concerned with the system having to be connected to the internet. Patrick Gilmore of the Killer Instinct team reached out to the community to address this concern stating that they are working with Microsoft "about just that". While no specifics were given... they make it clear that they have every intention of making Killer Instinct a tournament fighter.

In addition to this news, moments ago on the MadCatz/E3 stream the KI team also mentioned that not only with Glacius fully-playable at EVO 2013, but they will also be revealing a new character. Who do you think it will be? Spinal? Fulgore? Someone else..?

not the first to ask but the first to get an answer

I wonder if MS will have certain games be waived for the 24 hour restriction. That'd be boss, yet I'd be very surprised for MS to do this for the FGC. Then Halo/COD players would complain that they want to LAN and can't.

KI will be a tournament game. People have been waiting for this for over a decade. They will make it happen.

How about the concern about the shared games? That can't be as easily fixed as the online issue.

That can't be left out of the concern list for TOs...

Just to be clear you are aware the game is being developed by a company with a shitty record,right?

Doesn't matter. I trust my eyes and the feedback they have been getting. Besides Godzilla Unleashed was tight.

I full expect MS to change their stance on this aspect of the console by the time it launches, so it won't even matter come time for KI drops.

 

[Circus]

I want this game to be practical for tournaments and have a local scene so bad....

But unless it switches to PS4 I don't see even 15% of the FGC playing this if it's an Xbone exclusive.

Fuck you Microsoft, why'd you have to be so arrogant about these policies.

KI is a downloadable game, there's no hard copy iirc.
