The original KI I & II had the best graphics at that time because it looked more realistic than any other game. Not just because of the pre-rendered models but also the avoidance of pastels or water colors or what have you. Everything was dark yet shiney. There was neons and flames and it almost looked like the characters with skin were sweaty. The new KI has done well to do the same. It's not pre-rendered so it looks more like a video game than real life. But it's still dark and shiney and uses the neon and flames. The characters moves look more fluid and natural than ever before. Games like MKX look unnatural because of the stiff animations. SFV looks more cartoon because of the soft colors. Both MKX and SFV are stunners visually but I maintain that KI has more realism. I was worried for a while that support had ended. It's like the best game yet new players just wanna button-mash so they don't get the depth and awesomeness of KI's combo system. Seeing all this news of Cross-buy, Halo content, graphic boosts, and season 3 has changed my perception of what Microsoft's Xbox division is all about. Phil Spencer is really coming through for us. The story is really lacking but what could we expect. I wish there was more too. Netherrealm is doing amazing with story content. I wish KI had something like that. But KI does pretty well given there's practically no story besides character bios. Those bios are phenomenal. |
This is one reason why I believe MS didn't try to help fund Street Fighter(if they could). They want this to be their SF. It'll take awhile for it to do that if it ever does because SF is a fighter phenomenon and KI took such a long break. I'm happy as hell it's still being supported like crazy. It was the reason to buy the Xbox One when it 1st released. My very 1st game and most played. Halo is catching up but wayyyyyy behind.
