Killer Instinct hands-on preview | Thunderbolt

Shane Ryan, Thunderbolt writes:
Killer Instinct is one of Xbox One’s launch titles, being released digitally and in various packaged tiers. It resurrects Rare’s ‘90s fighting game series and aims to achieve a harmony between both old and new with equal vigour, a notion not uncommon with many videogames at this year’s Eurogamer Expo.

Good to see this review. More and more I am interested in this game. Love the re-imagining of the characters and environments. The dynamic music effects also add to the game.

There is nothing "paltry" about this game.

Good game, Greedy Corp.

You might want to look up on microsoft's charity and good-will work microsoft does regarding education, student affairs, and donations before making such an accusation.

sometimes its better to leave them in their ignorance.

Killer Instinct looks pretty great, I'm surprised this is a game coming from Double Helix - but in response to your comment, how else would you describe a corporation that hides fundamentally free features behind a yearly paywall and aims to take industry-wide control of your ownership status and manipulate their way into your pockets, with webs of lies and deceit? A company that has charged you for more than a decade to connect via P2P.

Is it another Robin Hood situation because they have branches that deal with charity and education? I wish all departments in Microsoft could be as reasonable. I truly do.

DH have made some bad games but you can tell they are really taking care with this

They are actually fighting game fans. And also fans of the original Killer Instinct.

The more I see this game, the more I'm liking DH. They've really stepped into something that they seem to excel in.

Seems that way as they are true KI fans, they would do what any fan would want to do, and that is make the best KI they can.
