[thetruthx1]

This game already looks amazing

I can't wait to see what teams do with the new Xbox One dev kits :)

I wanna see Cinder and TJ Combo too

[UltimateMaster]

Same feeling as a Mortal Kombat game.

.......nice jumping.......

Is he playing alone?

Wow... that gotta suck.

...

Is this the experience you'll get on Xbox One? Playing alone?
They couldn't have done a better job at presenting something worthwhile?
..
..
I mean seriously, at E3 they were women abusers and ripped through her character withing seconds.
But what I want to see is how they interact.........

This is lame.

[Belking]

Yes, you are a hater. keep that N4G tested and approved hate coming.

[UltimateMaster]

I was talking about the Video, not the Game itself.

The game looks awesome, I've never said anything bad about the game, but this video is lame and boring to death,

Maybe if you actually watched the video instead of immediately disagree with me because you don't like my comments, maybe you'd realize why I was saying that in my comments.

[kenshiro100]

What...?
Why did you get disagrees...?
You didn't say anything bad, let alone bash the game or the XB1.

[thechosenone]

720p never looked so good. :)

[Neixus]

On next xbone kits it runs at 720p ;)

[Neixus]

No reason to dislike,i look forward to the game myself. He just asked how it's going to be on next dev kits ( which will be the one that releases)
I meant absolutely no hate,sorry.

“Technically we are running at 720p and 60 FPS. 60 FPS is another pillar of the project. Anything added to the game that doesn’t allow us to run at 60 is removed or optimized. Nothing would be more frustrating than need pixel perfect accuracy at anything below 60. It would feel sluggish and unresponsive.”

UUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLTTTTTTTTTR RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Man, that red Sabrewolf is dope... might just have to sink 40 bucks into this game.

[Belking]

Exclusively awesome!

[Majin-vegeta]

At 720P XD.

[SuperLupe]

You just come off as jealous.

Dont blame you though, who would be excited for Knack, Driveclub and indie games available on Android.

Thank God for the multiplats you must be telling yourself.

[BallsEye]

bullsh!t,
Get your info straight.

From digital foundry

"Killer Instinct may not set a new technical benchmark, but the 1080p60 gameplay is fast, fluid and fun and there's some really nice effects work on display."

@BallsEye

No son you get your sh*t straight it's 720P not 1080.

Proof. http://n4g.com/news/1345488...

Yeah MS really nailed it with Killer Instinct. Sit on it for 2 generations than unleash it for the release of their 3rd console unto the industry. Let's mad dash rush to find someone, anyone to make this game as fast a humanly possible because those of us hardcore fans will eat it up like it's the best meal we have ever had!

The problem here, and let's stop the fluff and admit it is in fact a problem, is that this game is STILL a work in progress. Does it look great? No doubt about it. Am I excited to see anything Killer Instinct related? UH HELLO!!! I was a Killer Instinct Addict. Even now when I hear the echo's of ULTRA, ULTRA, ULTRA or COMBO BREAKER I feel like screaming like a kid on Christmas morning when I opened my big present I wasn't sure mom and dad would come through with.

Double Helix, if you asked them in all honesty, would tell you, "man if only MS would give us another 6, maybe even 12 months. This game truly would be truly amazing." And more importantly, finished.

This is a $40 dollar game with 6 to 8 characters (depending on which source you believe) for this year. 8 tops and no more added until later next year. 8 characters in a fighting game, other than PSN or XBA games this hasn't been done since the 16 bit generation. Also this game wont have finishers. DH is looking to add them next year <- This is being said repeatedly - NEXT YEAR or in the FUTURE. Double Helix is still working on balancing the game. You know why? Because they don't even have the 8 characters done yet, let alone how to balance them against their opponents.

Seriously, this is not good news. When we diehards have been waiting on this game for nearly 2 decades, we DESERVE better than a smash n grab rush to the market that this game appears to be. I want ANY Killer Instinct so bad I can barely contain myself but $40 dollars for a mini game with next to no single players modes, if any other than practice mode, available at launch? Is a kick in the nut sack to us starved crazed fans of the original KI. Why is this not being said more on N4G, seriously?

Just think about these as an examples.

Way of the Warrior made by a small indie developer in 1995 had a roster of 11 characters.

The last Killer Instinct released in 1996 had 12 characters and a complete game with single player modes, practice, training modes and finishers.

[Majin-vegeta]

I've seen a few people mention this.So basically $80 in total to get the complete game if you get both seasons.

[Boody-Bandit]

For those that buy KI this year? Yes it will cost $80 to get all 16 character by holiday season 2014. My thinking is to those that don't pick up KI this year is that they might only have to pay $40 for the entire game in 2014. At least I would think that is how it would work unless they sell it for $60.

I can't see, although I wouldn't be surprised, how they could ask for $80 to those that wait until 2014. Either way that's still a slim roster (16 characters) by todays fighting games standard. BUT I will be a lot more content with 16 characters and a plethora of modes vs 6 to 8 with next to no modes.

It does look like a great game though. It's just a shame it's being rushed out and IMHO MS is putting too much pressure on DH. If DH knocks this game out of the park, in time, it could do for them what Way of the Warrior did for Naughty Dog. In that it opened the door to catapult them into bigger and better things. Hey, I know it's a stretch but it's possible. Yah never know.

@Loki86
I stand corrected. You're right. I just had $40 stamped into my mind because I would want the original port, original character models and additional content. So $20 isn't bad for only 8 characters but that's still so small and having to wait another full year to get a full roster is just frustrating when I have been dying for this game for nearly 2 decades.

And let's keep it completely honest here. DH is still tweaking this game and will continue to do so for the next couple years. This could be unbalanced and with only 8 characters that even more so will add to my frustration. I know I'm nit picking but NEARLY 20 YEARS OF WAITING?!?!

You don't know how much I have been wanting this game. My friends and I use to get together and spend entire weekends going at it on KI on the SNES and N64. So maybe I'm just expecting too much BUT MS could've and should've killed this if only they would've got DH on it 2 or 3 years ago instead of the last minute. ARGH!

Still looks FRICKEN GREAT THOUGH!

[Loki86]

$20 for 8 characters x2 = 40 not 80.

[jetlian]

its 20 dollars per season or 40 dollars for season 1 with kione arcade plus extras

so 3 seasons planned for 60 bucks

[vividi]

A a a a a wesome!

[chrissx]

cool,tho I think those who played the original on snes will realise that's still the best KI

[skydragoonity]

This game looks good honestly... Shame about the greed behind getting characters.
