Interesting. One thing is for certain though, Double Helix and Rare did an amazing job on Killer Instinct. Now give me NotAMummy.

As XBO grows, so has KI. I want to see it get big this generation. Its certainly good enough and new players are coming all the time with the play model but I want to see it rival Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.

So is Rare co developing with Iron Galaxy as well or do you think they are just overseeing the project for quality? If MS keeps finding outside devs to main the development, I don't really see what Rares job is outside of overseeing things. The only reperesentatives i've ever seen talking about the game have been from the outside companies as well, not Rare.

Most likely theyre still working together yes.  They call them the Internal KI team which was confirmed to be working with Iron Galaxy.  I imagine it is a small group but theyre working on season 2 as well.

And surely you see ishmae and Kenn Lobb talk about it all the time which are two of the most vocal people with KI.  Theyre also a part of  KI.  Theyre working on such things as KI and Phantom Dust.

So basically you have Double Helix/Rare/Iron Galaxy and then Kenn Lobb, Ishmae, etc over-seeing it

so it's the complete version of KI Xbox One, you gotta be kidding me

Not at all?  It was a very early prototype.  You can see that by the fact that thunder wasnt even designed yet and Jago looks horrendous.  Just appears that originally it was planned for X360 and later decided to be a on Xbox One instead

Certainly a fairly chunky downgrade from the Xbox One version though.

It's basically got zero particle effects and significantly downgraded lighting.
Interestingly, the geometry doesn't look significantly worse, maybe they put the Xbox 360 Tessellator to good use?

However, Killer Instinct isn't exactly pushing the Xbox One's graphics boundries, shame there isn't a 360 port, it's a title everyone should be able to play.

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't look like they waited to optimize the graphics because game wasnt exactly pushing the one. Dead Rising wasnt even pushing it either and if they dropped the amount of zombies it could've been a 360 game as well.

Funny, when I say this I always get attacked. I agree though, MS was forced into action quickly because they couldn't let some gain any ground without them near.

Hmmm sure seems like the outside teams are doing all the work, but you probably know more about it from the interviews than I do. If you said Ken Lobb spoke about the game, then I am totally on board since he was there from the beginning.

Ken Lobb is always talking about it.  His profile pic says it all but scroll down and you will find countless comments about KI.  If you go to tweets and replies you will see him respond to fans about KI.  He also goes to the tournaments, watches the pros, does interviews etc https://twitter.com/RealKLobb
