yeah, I completely forgot that integral detail... I guess having EX moves has become pretty much a standard in fighting games on a 2D plane but if it´s to keep the classic KI gameplay that´s ok.

I don´t know, I feel it looks too much like SF4... looks great and all but I can´t just recall that detail in my mind everytime.

Why? Because it's a 3D fighting game? WHAT YOU EXPECT.

It's not like they gonna claymation or whatever again

SF4 is the best fighting game this generation. I'd be pissed if they didn't take tips from Capcom.

Just couldn't come back on an actual worthwhile system, could it?



Damn licensing issues.

Um, you do realize MS bought out RARE and RARE is actually a part of MS studios right? So of course it's going to be an Xbox one exclusive. They licensed the IP for Double Helix and that is who is taking the reigns.

It would be a cold day in hell before ANY exclusive is given to another platform. Especially their top competition.

I have to say while I'm not impressed with the character design - the mechanics send me back to KI/KI2. So as long as they nail the mechanics, I don't care what the characters look like as I'll be too busy trying to rack up combos and making sure my opponent doesn't own me. I seriously can't wait for this game to come out. I love KI. I still play KI and KI2 to this day!

@Everyone - Ya the character design may be a bit "meh." But who cares? As long as the mechanics are still there, I don't mind at all. Plus a KI is better than NO KI(unless it's downright horrid) considering we have been waiting over 2 decades for a KI3.  Also remember this is Alpha/pre-alpha footage. So don't think everything is set in stone.

About EX moves - Are you guys talking about the Shadow moves? If so those have existed since Killer Instinct 1. So nothing new to the franchise. Hell even the SNES version has the shadow moves still in it. But damn if they aren't hard to pull off. KI2/Gold made them easier. But I imagine this reboot will make them even easier to pull off.

@Everyone - Ya the character design may be a bit "meh." But who cares?
You are absolutely right, who cares? Stick figures are the future.

sarcasm much? But when it comes to any other game people love to say "Screw graphics, as long as the gameplay is fine I don't care." But now all of a sudden because the next-gen is here, people are turning around and retracting the "principle" that has existed this entire generation? ROFL is all I can do/say. Give the console kiddies perrty graphics and NOW they finally say "graphics or GTFO!" When the same crowd did everything in their power to say PC gamers are elitists because we had the "next-gen" graphics when we bragged about it. But now that there's less of a distinction (which btw won't last for long) people now say "Graphics are equal to gameplay."

Gotta love how a new generation of consoles magically turns console folks opinions around.

PS: I do plan on getting both a PS4/Xbox one. Ya I'm not too fond of the Xbox one policies but you know what? Hacks will get around that. Plus I have a stable internet connection. And I RARELY rent or get used games. I either buy full retail or I don't buy the game. But for my net connection, I'm on Fios and my server runs 24/7. So I'm not worried about the connectivity issue. My connection has been on 24/7 for as long as I can remember unless there was a power outage or one of the damn animals knocked the modem around.

Why not PC?

Seriously, they go to great lengths to proclaim games like Titanfall as exclusive when they're getting a PC port too.  Why not give the same treatment to KI?  This is a rhetorical question to which the answer is that Microsoft want to sell Xbox Ones, you don't need to point that out.

Uh, nice strawman? You're straying from the main point and randomly ranting about other things to seem knowledgeable or something. Graphics have little to do with these horrid redesigns (And the gameplay doesn't look very appealing to me, not too mention how clunky the combos look due the general speed and lack of proper transition frames)

And sorry but it's really hard to take seriously someone with an InuYasha avatar who uses "GTFO" and "ROFL" as part of his speech.

For me, this game being a XBONE exclusive is actually good because of

What I understood is
there's a full version
and then there's the demo version with Jago and some packs that come out over time which you can buy to get some more characters, that's the one that's episodic.

We don't even know if everyone will be available in the packs to update the demo version, but regardless, the characters should all be there in the full version.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

So, just a general curiosity, having not played Killer Instinct before, and seeing it's from Rare, do they keep to their tradition of cameo-ing other titles of theirs in this series?

Just curious, as re-playing Banjo-Kazooie: N&B, in it they say that when they finally make the next Killer Instinct title, Bottles is going to guest star.

Obviously, that's a bit excessive, and that was a joke from 5 years ago, but still wondering if I should be on the lookout for a mole with glasses in this somewhere or not.  Wouldn't be the first cameo mentioned in a game many years prior that actually did end up being done anyways.

Neither do most Rare titles, but you often find Conker, Joanna Dark and Banjo hiding somewhere in each others games.

That's why I'd expect just a small cameo, alt outfit at best, not an actual character like they said.  Would just be weird playing Bottles in this.....(Unless it's Devil Bottles)
