Some people need to pull up some YouTube videos made by the fighting game community who went to go play. Nothing but great things to say about the game and graphics. Here is one of them.

OK you KI fans...sit down. Take a deep breath.
















Killer Instincts will be Free To Play on Xbox One.

Jago will be the only character available for free to play, but you'll be able to play to your hearts content for free. Other characters will be unlockable for an as yet undisclosed price.

Gaming journalists and general gamers alike who have had a chance to play this say it plays fantastically well.

Can't wait to get my hands on this.

With regards to paying for specific characters........ look, how many of SSFIVAE's 40+ characters do you actually use frequently? I have no issue with this whatsoever as long as theres an option to buy them all in a bundle package if so wanted.

Dude....I grew up with Killer Instinct and have very, very fond memories of this franchise. Very underrated and a cult classic for its time. It set standards fighting games aren't even matching today and was for the most hardcore of hardcore arcade fighters. Some could say its difficulty exceeded the MK franchise and put it on notice. Since I was a child I used to study 80+ hit ultra combos which was something I never cared to do in MK. Even watching the game it had a study factor that helped with timing. I shouldn't have to be writing this, but Killer Instinct was one of those games that I am very serious about since I am a fighting fan. If there was anything good I got out of this its that MS finally gained an incentive to fix the D-Pad on their controller. If you like the game buy it, why should I be an intrusion upon your life. This is a forum, so act like its a forum. You bash my opinions, but does it kill my spirit? No, because you cannot change my opinion. If my opinion sucks to you, then leave it be where it is. 

 

P.S.

MS better push back this game and take their sweet time with it because this is one of those games based on design that demands TLC. Its not one of those franchises you take lightly and just slap together. The true fans will notice a flaw...and call it out.

1. Don't care about your memories and I don't need a history lesson. I was there, I played it on arcades and consoles.

2. If you're such a fan you should be happy MS brought it back, not nitpicking before actually playing it. Oddly enough, we're hearing good things. Here's some thoughts from a fighting fan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6_Ob32JScw

3. I bash your opinions when you say something ridiculous about Xbox or MS. Otherwise, I don't talk to you.

 

Here is an interview to give an idea of efforts being made for this project. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AR4mr5lCBk

They even talk about tournaments! :-O

This is much better. Hearing the developers input is very encouranging. I'll be watching this title for sure. The developer in the middle lied when he said KI is an "everyman's" game, because it isn't. There is a barrier of entry if you're playing against an experienced gamer and those combos dont come easy. When I was younger casual arcade gamers would watch in aww as fighting enthusiasts broke the game. There used to be large groups of people huddled behind the players watching their every movie wondering hot they pulled off 80 hit combos.
