During the Killer Instinct presentation at EVO 2013, the game was met with a pretty negative reception. Following the Injustice: Gods Among Us Finals, Madcatz and Double Helix came out on stage to do a 3-match presentation of the new and upcoming Killer Instinct game for the Xbox One.
And it wasn’t pretty.
Exciting news, Combo Breakers: Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition will be available TOMORROW, November 28, at 12PM Pacific!

This is how you support your first party games! Continued support after 10 years!
The Killer Instinct fans appreciated and the whole FG community celebrates!
Congrats goes to Matt, Mick, Adam and everyone at Iron Galaxy!
Tomorrow we fight together! I can´t wait!
I love KI (still play the old arcade version) but feel like the Xbox version is like a big intimidating chessboard with no easy way to instruct you to play chess.
The game is so deep in terms of little things to do that it makes Smash Bros melee look like a casual experience.
Honestly, doing a combo Breaker is punish/reward by itself but hey you can add a counterbreaker.

Iron Galaxy is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Killer Instinct by launching a new Anniversary Edition for Xbox and PC and an extensive patch several years after the latest update.
There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.
A free-to-play fighting game? This was unheard of at the time, but Killer Instinct has proven it's not only doable, but enjoyable!
That's not a good sign - but I always thought, after viewing Microsoft's presser and learning that Rare wasn't in charge of Killer Instinct development, that the game wouldn't be all that it could. Then we learned that only ONE character, and Jago at that, would be made available free of charge. We must pay for the rest. Smh.
where is the video? if 95% hated it it should be on youtube! From ign's coverage it was positive.
Is this game still free to play and extra characters cost money? I'd prefer a retail release with everything. Killer Instinct deserves it.
I could care less what they think of the game and the x1. And from the comments on ign and elsewhere, I've been seeing more and more people recognizing the positives about killer instinct.
And from what I've seen over the past few weeks, double helix seems like a developer who takes enormous amounts of feedback and actually acts promptly to implement it into the game, so I'm sold on that.
edit: Oh great, and here come the disagrees..
It sounds like the hate is for The Xbox One, and not Killer Instinct. Which is totally not fair for Double Helix. This game looks fantastic.
