RUMOR: 3 More Killer Instinct Characters Confirmed, Plus New Characters coming and more

[DanCock]

Lets look at it like this......

We want to solidify gameplay and core mechanics for launch.. We want a crisp game that feels great and is fun to play.. It will be missing things such as ULTRAS, Humiliations, Fatalities, overload of extra costumes, and overload of stages.. However we aim to have the most crisp and fun fighting game come release....but fear not... We are more than WIDE open to hear from our community on what YOU want!! Let us know!

Or...

We want to make sure that each character has MULTIPLE fatalities, 10 costumes a piece, at least 5 different stage variations per character!! You can even customize character looks and colors!!!! What? Oh... Gameplay.... Yeah that's good too.. LOOK AT THAT FINISHER!!! And his hair! And her outfit.. Meanwhile once you get your hands on it.. It plays like utter shit.. Characters move like they got cement feet, it is glitched and unplayable POS.. Ultimately a dress up "fighter"... And ohh by the way.. We could care less what you want- this is it.. Deal with it..

I believe the 1st paragraph is the way they are approaching it.. And getting the "core" down right is a GREAT idea.. You can add characters, costumes, moves, specials, etc.. But if you got a broken ass core system.. It can be as pretty and varied as snowflakes.. But who the hell cares if its not FUN to play?

Edit: and sounds? Your talking about sounds? Okay.... Original Jago sounded like a giraffe getting its throat cut... This is no longer the 90's- we have moved on.. And of they want to make him sound like a man instead of a screeching Owl.. They have every right..

I honestly don't get why you are getting super defensive with me. I'm a very huge killer instinct fan. I got excited hearing that finally a new killer instinct was being made. How ever if the only thing that makes this game "killer instinct" are just character names, then it's not killer instinct.


Anyway sabrewulf is my favorite character and I want him to have his bats like they were in the original KI. I'm praying he has them. I'd be greatly disappointed.

Not getting overly defensive with you man.. And if you took it like that I apologize... With so many people looking to down the system and game at every chance before it is even released- quite frankly makes me embarrassed to be a gamer. I'm just trying to keep everyone excited and make sure they see the proper writing on the walls and not buy into what is wrong/lacking...
Why can I safely do this? Cause the game is w/system at launch and is free to try and make your own judgement for free... We should all be brothers in arms here..

The art style kinda looks like sf4, if they change it cool if not I love sf4 anyway.
Gameplay seems very solid and fluid, right now they are just missing a few apecial moves for Sabrewulf... 1 the BF2 craw uppercut. 2 the roll. 3 the projectile. 4 the bats etc.

I am a gigantic fan of the original KI, but I'm not feeling this reboot at all so far from the gameplay I've seen.

How come?

I for one would like a finished game upon launch. Adding things after the fact almost never works out. I'd rather wait for a better game than a rushed one. If they want a full reboot they need all the original content IMO.

Sad thing is a whole new gernation of gamers won't know what they're missing if they don't add those things and will prob be mostly satisfied.

I see and appreciate where you are coming from- however I believe the "complete game upon release" model was put on life support with the death of the cartridge and was flatlined during the accepted DLC era.. It is however not completely bad.. It leaves games more open ended for additional content and does not give you a (potentially) bad or broken "complete" game..

Valid point. I'll give you that it's possible for more in the future like that. Change is hard for us all to accept.

I'm just worried that it will be judged in it's release state. Most games are. Developers may add to them or further support them later down the road, but damage will done for most. Attention spans are short for all but the hardcore. Plus if you played the original it's a major blow even if it is fixed later. Additions will probobly come every month or two at best. A long time with so much out there and current attention spans.

More female characters is good.

No finishing moves is bad.

This.

As of right now the only finish is Ultra combo or even worse: Ultra trait cancel into Ultra. Which doesn't do anything other than waste 40 seconds of everyone's time. People say that's hype but it's gonna get old real quick because it's always going to be the same silly combos.

Adding Humiliations as well as finishers/danger moves would at least keep it more varied. But I understand that it's not (and shouldn't be) a priority.

I like that they are going to include more females though. That's really cool.

You can only cancel ultra with "instant" into another ultra only if you save your meter!

Agreed. Things need to be kept SHORT. It's not like anyone does MK finishers or anything after a short while... we've all seen it, and after some point it's just a time waster.

The coolest "finishers" are things like babality, where it serves a purpose. I'd love if instead of standard finishers, a game had a variety of special finishers that you could perform depending on which of several conditions you fulfilled (didnt block, won only with specials, won without any specials, won without jumping, etc).

Lets be serious... the fun in fighting games is being able to say, "I out-thought you." Nothing would say that more than a finisher which slams their face directly in a pile of I just schooled you and never even used a special move.

Going to continue to hope it makes its way at least to PC under the GFWL banner. I refuse to buy an Xbone, regardless of what they put on it.

Finishers are a damn silly thing to leave out. I can imagine why, though - think about all the additional effort it took for the MK team to do good fatalities in MK9.

I have to disagree with you my friend. Of course gameplay is the main event of a game but finishers and stuff like that define the game and add the necessary flavour to it! I don't mean they are more important than the gameplay but they are important too... If Ed Boon was to announce MK10 and said the following: "We managed to achieve a very good gameplay for MK10 but we had to remove the fatalities!" would you like it? Also the blood and gore are necessary imo. Killer Instinct and MK are brutal and violent and that's why people loved them so much... They are fighting games after all... Fatality is the ultimate expression of dominance towards the opponent and under no circumstances must they be removed!
