Killer Instinct

[Paddy]

Seems like a trolling exercise on behalf of Microsoft/Double Helix for her. The community that cares have already seen what she looks like and might be able to guess how she plays. Why she is in that current roster to pick if they can't show her just seems daft.

Now if you reveal some other returning characters or some entirely new ones, then we'll sit up and pay more attention.

Reveal fail!

Poor guy.

Orchid will be revealed fully October 31st.

The player movement looks awful , it's like certain limbs are locked at the joints, but moving really fast, it all looks wrong. I know this was how the original moved but animation has come a long way since the days of the Nintendo 64 shame nobody told the Devs this. Was kind of interested in this before but that vid their has put me right off.

i always though killer instinct had very Uninspiring characters, compared to other beat em ups at the time too sabrewolf , is ok but thunder, Sadira, jago, ect are all very generic. Glacius in green made me laugh he looks like a snot covered spawn.

I understand where you're coming from with the character designs. They are somewhat tacky and that's what gave them their charm back in the 90s. As to whether that can transfer effortlessly to the modern day a la SSFIV/Tekken 6 should be carefully considered.

Hell, KOF's creators redesigned the cast's looks every trio of instalments, Guilty Gear XRD sees those classic designs redone and the likes of recent Tekken/Soul Calibur/Virtua Fighter allow you to customise the character's appearances (or put them in different costumes like DOA 5U). Hopefully in time ASW will reimagine the cast of Blazblue's appearances too.

In any case, yes a bit more pizazz than fighting monk, Amerindian warrior chief, oriental baton-wielding sexy brawler et al needs to happen. Perhaps we'll be treated to that with the upcoming season 2 next year.


P.S Watch the boss of the new Killer Instinct look outrageous...

so have been watching the new streaming video orchid reveal

orchid seems a good character has her slide kick from ki 2 plus her fire cat and cartwheel kick her instinct mode makes a fire cat run across the screen every few seconds

her stage reminds me that game rage a abandoned wrecked modern day high rise building

Dojo mode looks insanely indepth with frame data/ hit boxes/combo breaker timings

The accessory mode i thought looks a bit gimmicky i guess it really depends on how many items you can collect

oh they briefly mentioned in regards to rage quitting once the ultra combo starts the win is counted at that moment

and spinal is the next character

The reveal trailer

3 weeks seems like such a long time. There's so much love in this project it's unreal.

[GluedOnBeard]

Definitely. I don't see a poor transition in character design, loving all of the characters so far and each has a different play style.

Think I might actually try to become good at a fighting game for once.

Shame it won't be confirmed till launch day if 360 fight sticks work on a retail box though. Hopefully the controller will suffice for a while.

Hope these three weeks go quick lucky the week after is thanksgiving week.

[Family Fry]

There's always hope fight sticks may work.

This guy was using a MAS Systems Fight Stick at an xbox one truck event, he just brought it along, was allowed to plug it in and it worked.



That of course may be because it's running dev kit software.

Check your inboxes. Some people are being given Killer instinct for free. Possibly based on how long you've been a Live member, not sure.

[Synthesthesia]

I got it actually came on here to post about it and forgot to!

[gambit6613]

Just checked my inbox and sadly nothing Are MS sending them still in the process of sending them out i wonder?

[GluedOnBeard]

You are meant to have to be over 6 years on gold and have a gamerscore of 100k+

[EvilBoris]

Something like that may actually persuade me to go for the Xbone; I'm been a Live member for nearly five years and I've spent quite a bit on the XBLA marketplace.

Only thing I've got from MS lately is a reminder to renew for my Gold membership.
