Lol what? Amazon bought Double Helix? Wth...So the team that made Killer Instinct is still with Microsoft so ...They left Double Helix? What studio are they currently working in then? Lol

Dont know, the only thing we do know is the KI team is fine and that they are still continuing on with KI and Season 2 which was already announced by the KI team a few weeks ago.

MSFT seemed to have all this planned out so they mustve been aware of the Amazon buyout for some time from the sounds of it.

I was wrong, theyre partnering up with somebody else. But it still sounds as if they kept the KI team.

Update: In a statement, a Microsoft spokesperson told Polygon that Microsoft Studios will be working with a "new development partner" on Killer Instinct for Xbox One.

"We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Double Helix and wish them success in their next endeavor," a Microsoft spokesperson said. "We want all of our loyal fans to know that the Killer Instinct team at Microsoft is not changing and that the franchise will remain with Microsoft Studios. We remain dedicated to delivering a great experience and plan to announce our new development partner soon. We're excited about the future of this popular franchise."

He is saying it is the same team that worked on KI.  Example would be team 1 and team 2 of Naughty dog.    All of Double helix wasnt working on KI(as noticesd by them working on multiple games).  They had rare members and the team they built for KI and was stationed with DH.  Now it just appears that the KI team is moving somewhere else while DH works on their own projects.




       

Sorry to hear that Shikamaru. I'll withhold judgment on gameplay, but those designs... Wow. I'm kind of glad that isn't the Sonic game coming to One. What are you looking for in a Sonic game? You liked Generations right? Did you like Colors?

Yeah I can tell you're a huge SEGA fan. I thought I read somewhere that MS had an opportunity to buyout? Sega? That would have been interesting...

Yeah Generations was the best Sonic game in a long time. Sonic Colors was actually pretty good, despite the ending boss fight too. That's why I thought Lost World would have been different, but they tried to copy Galaxy and imo, failed to execute. I just don't get why they would change the models... I mean, they'd have to know the fans would dump on it, so why do it?

I hated the dubstep, hopefully in a Nintendo Direct they re-introduce it without the fluff. But that gameplay... if that's good, I can live with the models, because the world looked pretty good. I'm waiting to see more before dismissing it totally. I wonder what Sonic game will hit the One?

Titanfall hype is really starting to build up now, the Xbox One version is up to #13 on Amazon's bestsellers chart now, and the Xbox One itself is up to #14. Each has gained several places just since the announcement that the 360 version would be delayed. Meanwhile the highest ranked upcoming PS4 game is Thief at #40. Infamous: Second Son, which some people think will outsell Titanfall on Xbox One, is at #58.

It's going to be Knack outsold Mario 3D World all over again. Calling it right now.
