Wow I want that cabinet... maybe I should build one it would be less expensive.

I don't get the bashing of this game, it looks good, it plays good (so it seems) and you have different ways to get the game.

Free with only one character to choose from and you get to buy select characters.
20$ for the whole game with (correct me if I'm wrong)
40$ for the whole game with extras like the old KI and more...

I'm glad they revived this franchise and I like how they changed the characters. This will be like fresh air in the fighting genre.

It says Killer Instinct but I see no recogisable characters, no blood, no ultimate combos, no danger moves, no stage finishers, so it cannot be Killer Instinct.

Anything you mentioned above was what made Killer Instinct stand out. Combos were the sauce on Killer Instinct and they came out swinging with more variety than any anime fighting game or MK game could offer.

You're right on the pricing. All the original and real KI fans were overwhelmed by the revival of this game. My KI community just want this game to be up and running plus perfected like we found it was in '95. People bashing it most likely don't like KI,fighting games or just hate Xbox brand.

1. There is blood. 
2. There will be ultimate combos, just not at launch. Double Helix said they are focusing on more important stuff first.
3. Characters are reconizable. If you really can't stand the new characters skins there will be classic skins avaliable for purchase.
4. I'm sure just like ultimate combos they can add danger moves post launch. 

The only thing that you listed that is for sure not in the game is stage finishers. If you really can't stand the new KI for whatever reason the original will be avaliable to purchase with online multiplayer.   

Thank god for the original. Hopefully the remastered its sexiness.

A bit off topic, but I've heard Zoo Tycoon looks stunning, suprisingly so.

Yeah, which is why this new KI sucks.

Let me fix this:

Blood? This is not 1990's, teens back then were obsessed with blood. And the rest of features were gimmicky as hell.

But that COMBO system was unparalled.

SMH at people saying the new Killer Instinct sucks yet haven't played it. I played it and all I can say is the game is amazing.

You dont need to play KI to spot the differences. Many people watched in awe as the best players played the old version of the game. K2 was better looking than this in gameplay but not as popular as the first. Looks like a good game but when you say KI its a bit weaker. Very good looking game though repetitive looking in its combos. The old KI had a limited move list so it cycled through the moves for the combos making them that much sicker.
