Killer Instinct reveals Riptor

The fourth fighter coming to Killer Instinct's second season on Xbox One is the reimagined Riptor, who's now a cybernetic dinosaur, and developer Iron Galaxy gives us a sneak peek at what she's going to look like.

Ok that's boss

sorta wanna watch Jurassic Park now

[XboxOneX]

Jurassic World looks amazing so does this game.

[Perjoss]

I like the look of KI even though I've not picked it up yet. Jurassic World not so much.

[RiseofScorpio]

When was Riptor a she lol, it was never confirmed could be genderless.

[coolbeans]

Well...Riptor's gender was never 'officially' announced before, but her ending in old KI showed her laying eggs.

[Fireseed]

Was always confirmed in the old days but scroll down to her bio and it's as plain as day http://www.ultra-combo.com/...

[SP4CE_C4PT4IN]

life, finds a way...

[TXIDarkAvenger]

She was always a female...

[LackTrue4K]

Sex-determining mechanisms in reptiles are broadly divided into two main categories: genotypic sex determination (GSD) and temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD)

you can really never know with just looking @ them, its more off the heat there body gives out. female reptiles give out more.

@coolbeans, males lay eggs too.

[Gigglefist]

Male animals in fact do NOT lay eggs. Not sure where you heard that one. If there's some unique example of a male laying eggs it's 100% new to me.

Not to mention TSD refers to the factors that determines an embryo's gender from outside forces. i.e. hotter nests produce more females. Not that females themselves are hotter. Not relevant in this situation at all.

[coolbeans]

"@coolbeans, males lay eggs too."

In the very limited case of something like say...sea horses (which even then is a special case), okay I can see where you're going with that. But in regards to what I'm talking about? I'd need to see some studies sent to me via PM for proof.

[Tedakin]

KI is my jam

[bawabuhari]

I can't see it

[mhunterjr]

I really like how ms has handled KI. it sure beats the sf4 business model...

[mhunterjr]

@disagrees

I take it you all enjoyed having to re-buy the entire game everytime some new characters and gameplay tweaks were released...and the resulting fragmentation

[Ripsta7th]

Since sfV went exclusive they now like sf again and wont tolerate any negative comment towards it

[likeaboss302]

There is no fragmentation. You still download the whole game and just pay for as much of it as you want to use.

[mhunterjr]

@likeaboss

Are you talking KI or SF4? Cause sf4 was definately fragmented. Those who bought sf4 had to buy a whole new game in order to get the first new characters and tweaks...

[mixelon]

.. Dinosaurs with humanoid arms look freaky. @_@

Need more dinosaurs in games though, so it's all good.

[PlayableGamez]

Every game needs dinosaurs.

[Revengeance]

Looks great! Hope they bring this game to PC (and they probably will)

[yankolo]

Id have prefered they bring some old character instead of kan ra that guy is shiiiit bring tusk guysss

[Tedakin]

Season 3 and Tusk are confirmed.

[ghostface9]

kan ra is a good character it gave ki the zoner it needed

[Tzuno]

They need to add fatality to complete the game until then see ya.

[desertpunk86]

they misspelled it is raptor.

[halfblackcanadian]

Raptor looks amazing. Can't wait to see move-set.
My ONLY concern with the business model MS is using with KI (one that I have no problem with right now I should add) is what happens at Season 4? Provided they get that far and want to keep going what does the pricing look like? I always hated basically having to get a new disc version of every Street Fighter variant because of the money involved but at $20 per season (minimum) everything to Season 4 inclusive becomes an $80 fighting game (with 32 fighters)

[No_Limit]

What is wrong with 4 seasons at $20 a pop? That is 4 years worth and gameplay tweek, character balancing, and story mode get added for free..it sure as heck beat the SFIV model of releasing 4 games each and each new SFIV edition is like an extra $30- $40 so in the end the KI model is more consumer friendly.

[halfblackcanadian]

I buy Ultra editions so I'm already at $80. I bring this up for newcomers. When S4 is out and they want everything will they have to pay $80 minimum for 32 fighters, because SFV of MKXI might have 28 for $60.
Personally I love the game. Including the fight stick I bought I've dumped over $300 on it (and I don't play it nearly enough tbh). Over a four year period is one thing, all at once might be asking a little much IMO.

[josephayal]

Turok Confirmed

[Novistador]

Man I miss Turok...

[Fireseed]

We need to do a play though of the old Turok games!

[just-joe]

Nice to see Talon from Primal Rage getting work.

[Gotcha5]

Can't wait till ultra wednesday release of Cyber Riptor,Xmas accessory pack and TJ Combo classic outfit... also update to faster load time?
