Killer Instinct developer Double Helix said it jumped at the chance to work on the franchise, but it was Microsoft who initiated the reboot.

 

“The idea to bring it back came originally from Microsoft,” design director David Verfaillie told Siliconera of the reboot.

“They had new hardware coming soon and were like, ‘the time is now, we gotta bring this back’. So we heard about the chance and jumped at it.”

The developer put together “an awesome prototype” in order to secure the job from Microsoft, he added.

Double Helix’s previous efforts include Front Mission Evolved. Killer Instinct is coming to Xbox One but has not been dated. It’s free to play.

I have noticed that you shifted the tone of news you regularly port. They tend to be more possitive, but now I am starting to see a pattern towards the not so possitive and more concerning.

I am not trying to say anything by it, just making an obsevation. Let me just say that I sympathy, am hope that ms realizes that are hurting their own supporters :'(

MS is going for the hardcore XBlive Gold gamer for it's early adopters hoping that it will keep 3rd developers interested...I see that as a stratergy that will work
