SFIV and MK9 are how you should revamp a game for modern gamers. What Killer Instinct on Xbone has done is pretty much make a new IP due to huge changes. |
Im an old hat at KI. Id like to know what your refferring to? The changes Ive read about are needed changes, changes that make it better not worse.
"Killer Instinct is looking to be a pretty promising fighter. It’s easy and quick to get into, but looks like it’ll have quite a bit of depth. And of course, the system of huge combos and combo breakers remains as intense and rewarding as ever."

"A week ago today I was able to get my hands on Killer Instinct for the first time. I have always been a fan of the series and one could say that this is my favorite fighting series of all time (next to Tekken and Def Jam). I was a bit skeptical about the new direction they were going with the series, but after playing the game I left impressed."
"Check out my first reactions and attempt at playing Killer Instinct with the Mad Catz Killer Instinct Arcade FightStick."

Another quote from your link, "I was pretty young when Killer Instinct was out, so my memory regarding the original is pretty fuzzy." Wow, what a fan, cannot even remember it well.
Killer Instinct is just using the name to launch a new IP. The characters aren't the same characters fans of the series played, they are brand new characters using the old characters names, they don't look anything like what they should. So a fan of the old characters have nothing to connect them to this game. That is why SFIV and MK9 are so loved by the fans of each, they updated the gameplay, visuals but kept the characters who they are. SFIII tried abandoning all the loved characters except Ryu/Ken and later Chun-li, SFIII series poor sales killed SF for 10 years.
New Killer Instinct also removed blood, ultimate combos, danger moves and humiliations. These are all a huge part of Killer Instinct identity, but they all removed just like the original characters.
There is nothing left of original Killer Instinct except yelling Ultra and Combo breaker, is like if Mortal Kombat removed Fatalities, gore and had all new characters with old ones names, and the only thing it did was say Fatality. Why call it Mortal Kombat anymore.
Please stop pretending to be an old KI fan, or you wouldn't need any of this explained.
