Another great looking game for the X1. In not quite happy about the way they are handling the content tough.

Cueil4307d ago

you can play now or you could have waited till the middle end of next year for it... I mean early release access is fairly popular on Steam why not on X1/PS4?

XboxFun4307d ago

Love the changes they made and anyone who thinks this still looks like Street Fighter is trippin off gerp juice.

Bigpappy4307d ago

I could see that. Depending on which console you plan to buy.

Boody-Bandit4307d ago (Edited 4307d ago )

It doesn't matter what console anyone plans on buying. Saying it looks horrid is wrong. Not a subjective opinion but flat out wrong. Him getting agrees for saying it is equally wrong. Every time we see a newer build there is more detail in the graphics. Definitely a vibrant sweet looking game.

Killer Instinct is one game that has me on the fence about STILL getting an XBOX ONE. But only because I was a KI freak back in a day and DH is really working their asses off making all of the changes that the gamers are asking for. I can't believe how fast they are tweaking this game and how significant some of the tweaks are. At the rate they're going they might possibly have a AAA game on their hands.

What I am waiting on is the details about various on and offline modes and how diverse the training mode will be.

OneAboveAll4307d ago

It's X1 exclusive so you don't have that option. derr

CRAIG6674307d ago

Knack is horrid, this is a DAY ONE MUST!

TheFutureIsBlue4307d ago

I don't think anyone on either side can say anything about graphics until we actually get our hands on the consoles and see for ourselves. I'm pro Sony, but this whole "KZ SF>BF4, Knack looks like shit, Ryse = best graphics evah,Drive Club>Forza" debate is fucking annoying.

sincitysir14307d ago

Agree. Different games for different ppl

Belking4307d ago

This is what you call a proper fighting game. Now I wish they could give us another game like this, but use chinese kungfu characters from some of the shaw brothers movies. Imagine how sweet that game would be using Killer Instincts combo system.

SugarSoSweet4307d ago

Looks like last gen game to me what's so good about this game graphically?

4logpc4307d ago (Edited 4307d ago )

Are you watching it on your phone or something. This game runs 60 FPS and looks amazing. Look at that detail in Glacius, it looks unreal and no fighting game can compare.

MrSwankSinatra4307d ago

what fighting game doesn't run at 60FPS? you pointing that out is just a flaw in your argument.

toxiichollow4307d ago

This game look last gen compare to what? Name me a fighting game that looks on par or better than this game.

CRAIG6674307d ago

Dude Mortal Kombat looks great but if you think its graphically on par with KI you should have gone to specsavers mate!

aceitman4307d ago

lol.I put them there for comparison just in case someone needed to see if there was , my fault maybe I should have said that after the vids. but there not close. does look good but I do not like the break up in the game , they should have sold it as a complete game. period.

4Sh0w4307d ago

lol, for a minute I thought he was making a serious effort with those youtube links.

Killer Instinct: The Most Underrated Fighting Video Game in History

Killer Instinct is like the forgotten cousin at the fighting game family reunion.

yeah they were such good and fun games but they never really reached the mainstream audience. Killer Instinct was widely known and respected.

Cacabunga57d ago

Killer instinct is great, especially on snes but it’s not the most underrated fighter.. for me it’s Power Stone. So much potential in this series

Jawsh66657d ago

Bloody Roar was a game that had a sick concept but wasn’t made the best. I’d say Killer Instinct was the opposite of that, it was well made but the roster of characters were so similar to every other fighting game in that era that it ended up feeling like more of the same. I could be wrong that’s just how I remember it at the time and I played a ton of KI on SNES because it was one of the first games I owned.

PRIMORDUS57d ago

I loved this game in the arcade, my main was Jago, Ultra Combo!!! https://www.youtube.com/wat...

DivineHand12556d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS56d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj57d ago

You're kidding?
It enjoyed probably more success than it deserved.
Unlike Tobal 2

MeteorPanda56d ago

Tobal 2 was awesome. Sold really well cause art similarity to dragon ball

jjb198157d ago

I remember trying my hardest to learn that "Ultra... Ultra.... Ultra...." finish. Such a great fighting game.

Popsicle57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

I can tell you definitely got some SNES time in. The slight differences in the ports due to hardware constraints were interesting. For example, the arcade version was Ultraaaa Coooommboooooooo! versus Ultra….Ultra….Ultra on the SNES.

Though SNES overachieved as a port for as demanding as a game KI was.The arcade version was one of the first cabinets with a dedicated hard drive and the SNES version was 32 megabyte cartridge which was huge for that system at the time.

jjb198156d ago

Yeah, for sure. My local childhood arcade was always packed and it was hard to get a game in but once the SNES version came out, I was hooked. I can still feel the click of the power button.

Congrats goes to Matt, Mick, Adam and everyone at Iron Galaxy!

Tomorrow we fight together! I can´t wait!

Barlos566d ago

I'll have to get this! Been a big fan of KI since the very first one.

Petebloodyonion565d ago (Edited 565d ago )

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.
Here's what you also need to know
Breaking Shadow-linker
Instincts
Shadow counter
Auto double,
linker, manual
ender

There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH569d ago

SF5 didn’t appear on all consoles and was still played at Tournaments. I’ve seen KI tournaments recently so I don’t think your opinion is accurate.
