| Mr Puggsly said: Having nice graphics at the time and realistic aren't the same thing. In 94 - 96 KI looked cool, but the models had the appearance of plastic toys. I never thought support had ended because Iron Galaxy was always pretty vocal about wanting to do more. But the support it has received has exceeded my expectations. I think people running Xbox see KI is something special and not pouring money into SFV encouraged them to support their own games I guess. The thing is KI does have story and the endings for each chracter. The quality of Season 2 ending are better though, they make Season 1 endings look bad. If MS wants to make up for losing SFV, putting a story mode in KI could get a lot of attention. |
Not to argue, just to clarify, a plastic toy is a realistic object. Dead or alive 3 looked more realistic to me than any fighting game but it lacked the 3D modeling that gave KI the toy look. DOA characters look flat. It's all a matter of perspective. I thinks toys with the right color and animation look very real. Far as realism goes; Street fighter V has the toy and animations down but not the color. Doa has the color and animations down but not the toy look. MKX has the color and toy look but not the animations. KI has the toy look, the animations, the color.
I thought support ended when I read an interview with the guy from iron galaxy talking about the future of Killer Instinct on Xbox One and it ended with him dropping a tear. http://www.usgamer.net/articles/killer-instinct-season-two-interview Quote is near the bottom.
"We don't even know if there's going to be more Killer Instinct in the future," he says, with a single tear falling down his face. "We hope there is, we love working on it, but we don't know for sure. Microsoft will figure that out and let us know."
