A Next-Gen Fighting Game For Everyone

Undoubtedly, there are fans who are ecstatic to hear that Killer Instinct, the classic fighting game that came in a snazzy black cartridge back in the early 90's, is going to come back. But when the game was announced earlier this year, there also seemed to be an air of bewilderment about its revival—loved as it may be, it's not exactly the biggest or most well-known franchise, even within the fighting game scene.

I preorder xbone and this tile has me worried with the dlc model they have for this game looks like a money pit I wonder in the end after upgrading all the fighters and options will it cost more then 60 dollars for most titles a little alarming to me.

I seem to remember reading that once you hit the value of the full game (in micro transactions) it unlocks everything.

I remember reading somewhere that you can buy ki with every character (without dlc) for $20 (since they dont have much) and $40 for everything + dlc

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

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.

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

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.
