Killer Instinct 3 fights for Natal outing

Video Games Daily: "New chat with Rare chief suggests Killer Instinct could make a return – but not with a traditional controller."

[leper641]

I hope KI3 is made whether it's Natal based or otherwise

[Megaton]

Gross. Seriously you guys, after all these years of wanting another KI, you're jumping for joy that it would be on Natal? It better have controller support.

[Lightsaber]

I have to agree with xiphos on that one. Natal for the must part seem stupid to me. It be a cool to use with nxe and milo was kind of neat (be cool for talkin to npc in fable 3) but sorry I want my controllers. If I want some motion control crap I'd own a wii for all the great shoveware.

[sikbeta]

Old school fighting game can't be ruined by "newer" controllers...

[colonel179]

if they ruin KI, the only fighter I love, I will literally go to Rare and kill all of them with a electric saw!... They already ruined Banjo Kazooie...

MS what have you done with Rare?, just let them die already so they'd be remembered by the epic games they used to make with Nintendo, instead of the crappy games they've made since you bought them

[rroded]

say it aint so fulgor!

how that going to work anyways just jump n punch at the air or what

this is just wrong KI3 needs to be made right!

[presto717]

Was it good? What platform?

[Nihilism]

I can't believe this, you hope for 10 years that they finally release another killer instinct, and they go and destroy it by making it a natal game....because everyone knows how well a fighting game would play with natal, i'd put my shoulder out trying to do all the combo's

@presto717

It was a fighting game on N64

[ultimolu]

It actually started on the SNES. I had the first one for SNES and Gameboy. That was one of my favorite fighting games. Jago and Glacius were two of my best characters.

With that being said...they are going to f*ck up the game with Natal support. Killer Instinct deserves a proper third installment.

[badz149]

I think M$ is trying to kill Rare for good!

[silvacrest]

killer instincts gold was on the N64

the original was on the SNES

also i agree that making it natal only would be an epic fail for KI3, hell, i would prefer no natal support for this game, if it is indeed getting made

[execution17]

lame i don't want to be throwing my arms around like a spazz and even bother wasting my cash on Natal, no buy from me if its Natal only:(

[MGSR THE HD VERSION]

"I can't believe this, you hope for 10 years that they finally release another killer instinct"

people hoped for a real sequel to FF7, which is a game that came out 12 years ago.

[Nihilism]

Yes they did, but there will never be a natal final fantasy, quite different. I see no difference between killer instinct on natal, than if it were played via a wii fit board.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

hmmmm, i think the whole world has been waiting 16 years for a true sequel to sonic.

seriously if Nintendo can make a perfect conversion from 2d to 3d for mario then Saga should be able to as well.

[Sarcasm]

How in the world is anybody going to pull off any of the insane combos from KI using Natal?

[multipayer]

You know it is interesting, it'll probably be the best use of full body motion I'd actually be entertained by... I'm sure the old school one will be remade to add hype and play like all your other *new* fighting games...

Rare owes you nothing!

[Bathyj]

@presto717

It was good back in the day when no one had played Tekken, Soul Blade or Virtua Fighter yet.

I honestly think all the hope for a new one is really just nostalga. The main drawcard was the high hit number, easy to pull off combos.

I havent played it for a long time, but I dont think it would have aged very well.

Just my opinion.

[gaffyh]

Is it just me or does this sound like Sony's forced SixAxis use in Lair? Seems like Rare are going to ruin another of their franchises for MS, although KI wasn't one of my favourite fighters personally.

[XDF]

And then the money shot: “I think it’s about doing something different than with a conventional controller.”

If KI3 is released in Fall with Natal function, along with Fable 3, Halo Reach, and Gears of War 3...and games for Natal..

X360 will rule the Holiday in 2010.

[The real killer]

DUDE, it's only camera with body detection nothing more.
Pfff, what fuss about NATAL!!

A little bit shaking with your arse,limps,head or body and you call that a WOW factor!!

[Saaking]

LMAO, I'll take games over Natal any day.

[sikbeta]

Gears is good for being Gears, Natal will not make any difference

As I said long before, motion can be a PLUS for a game, but definitely is not the CORE of the game itself

[Golfcoachh]

then when a rumor of a great game comes out for natal, you say, I will take games over natal. So what is it, no games, or just not the games you want?

[Sonyslave3]

BUT it will fail sorry droids NAtal is going to own with AAA games.

Halo Reach
Fable3
KI3 and many more to come.

[The real killer]

A another smart arse fortune-teller.

[Saaking]

hahaha, have fun waving your arms around like a moron.

[RedPawn]

Sorry Slave KI is complete trash, this is one game among many that have no place nowadays.

[cyborg6971]

Yeah right slave. Natal is about as useful as an armless chronic masturbator.

[SpartanZero]

I knew it was being developed. Scivelation was announced for the 360 too.
http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...
Next up Crimson Skies 2

[Thump1967]

Hell yeah KI 3 in any form I'll take

[Alan Wake]

XBOX 360 >> 2010

[The real killer]

We have fortune-teller on this site.

[Saaking]

yea right. While the 360 has a much better lineup, it still doesn't come close to the Ps3.

[sikbeta]

2011 >> 2010

WOW, NOW I HAVE EVERYTHING CLEAR..... -_-

[Alan Wake]

we have 2 Big exclusives fighting games on xbox 360

Dead or alive 4 and now Killer Instinct 3 ^_^

PS3 not have any exclusives fighting games heheheheheheheheheh

such crap console

[Saaking]

yet, you can't seem to play them with that crappy @ss d-pad huh?

[TheBlackSmoke]

Zing!!

[ZombieAutopsy]

haha nice one Saaking, the only reason i dont play fighters on my 360 is because the d-pad is worse than the original Nintendos'

[NeptuneOO7]

MegaTON !!!!!!

[NeptuneOO7]

Its time for the 360 users to rejoice!

Poor droids will be crying come 2010.

[Saaking]

Sorry buddy, PS3 is still way ahead in terms of quality and quantity. Especially with such titles as

WKC
GOWIII
GT5
Heavy Rain
R3
MAG
Modnation Racers
TLG
etc, etc.

And that's just the beginning. These all TRUE exclusives ONLY on PS3 (unlike 360 exclusive which are 360/PC).

[cyborg6971]

Neptune are living on that planet what do you have to rejoice about one more crappy exclusive that is one of what 2.

[Tesselation 360]

think they know everything about anything. Go play ur console games man or have you got no games to play huh? You finished unfarted allready? Damn cant wait to get home to play Forza 3. Five hours to go

[Gothdom]

I can see it now :

-"Mom, my brother kicked me in the face"
-"But we're playing a game!"

*** KI3 makes Fox News + free publicity ***

MS is sued over corporal damages done to other people and furniture

-"Honey, where's the lamp? And how in hell did you break your leg?"
-"Played some KI3 online, you should see the other guy"
-"And this cost how much for the hospital?"
-"Nothing, I just used some french plaster and toilet paper on 2 boards"

... I'm all for a KI3, but natal is just a dumb idea for this type of game.

[presto717]

Thats such a funny comment. LMFAO

bubbles.

[Fatal Blow]

If killer instinct 3 comes out then am buying an xbox360 elite only for this game cause i loved this fighting game back in the days the combo was damn amazing and finishing moves to but i would want to play it with a controller i don't want my arms and legs killing my buddies next to me lol

[KingKionic]

Im pretty sure if it has features for Natal , it wont just be able to be played with Natal .

[Knightofelemia]

Hope it does come still play the Snes and N64 version time to time

[xtreampro_REVENGE]

What's killer Instinct?

Anyway's Natal is too laggy for hardcore game and come 2010 xbots will be crying 'A LOT' lol

EDIT: I just checked it out on Youtube and I instantly remembered what it is, I'll say one thing the games will be awesome but it'll work like sh1t with Natal.

[SpartanZero]

Im sure your gonna get to play the game with a controller or with Natal

[Obama]

All the xbots need to do is to flap their manboobs and belly. Natal will register that as a punch and kick.

[zane547]

that it will be Natal-only.

Even if Natal does take off, the adoption rate will not be -that- fast, handsfree gaming is a nice concept, but it isn't going to replace being able to kick back with a controller and bash away, no developer is that narrow minded. I'm pretty sure if KI3 is made, it will go the way of Fable 3, and simply have Natal support.

[MetalGearRising]

Judgement day is soon upon ps3 yet they foolishly pretend to joke when really they are deep down sh*tting in their pants. NATAL is the new era new games will come about which was unimaginable at this life time the FUTURE is NATAL.

[TheBlackSmoke]

Which is why they have a Natal version of the new RE5 expansion to rival the PS3 version...oh wait..

LOL have fun punching the air in your living room, ill be playing real games in the mean time.

[ZombieAutopsy]

$20 says MGR is one of those people who use to call NiN's controller gimicky but now will praise Natal even though its basically the same fvcking thing.

[SixtyPercentFailure]

I can just imagine how retarded the Bots will look playing this on the laggy Natal.

[Bush]

Either way this game will be sweet when it arrives

[ForROME]

KI3 In normal KI fashion or nothing dont give us half a$$ed natal style game.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...Brilliant in the old days i.e on the N64. But now??? Oh dear!!! ;-D ;-D ;-D

[xoxideu]

Floptal, flop yourself in.

[Mr Exclusive]

I feel sorry for the Flopbots they haven't had a since good game since Gears 2 last year. Now they are all excited for sh!tty fighing game that wasn't even that good to being with, even in the SNES/Aracade days.

[Why Dat]

LOL, so now Xbots are saying PS3 has no fighting games? All in due time you fools.

Sony already matched the Xbox, when you guys said it had NO shooters and NO RPGS. The table will keep turning in Sony's favour. I know it is killing you haters inside, but that's what you deserve.

[Mr Exclusive]

We have Tekken 5:DR , Ultimate Ninja Storm and Gundam Vs Gundam NEXT.

[TheBlackSmoke]

LoL the next DOA will be multiplat and all 360 will have left is natal shadow boxing.

[keysy420]

please dont do it

[MajestieBeast]

Atleast sony is trying with some new ips your list is 1 big sequal and i wouldnt call crackdown AAA,fable 2 was crap so what i expect of fable 3 is peter molyneux will say its gonna revolutionize gaming and well all be sitting and playing a game with little impovement to 2 and 1. But hey apperently you can tell the future cause in your head its Halo>all.

[silvacrest]

i have a felling fable 3 will be pretty good, fable 2 just didn't entice me, i will never get the excitement about crackdown 2, crackdown 1 was really average to me, from what iv seen of the sequel, its not looking much better

[Bush]

Fable 2 was an alright game wich i enjoyed but i hate the loading screens when you go back to a city

[xoxideu]

Rare has really plummeted, they're pretty much on their last leg, haven't made any decent games since the n64.

Flop on floptal CONFIRMED.

Underwhelming.
Un-definitive.
Full of fail.

[OSIRUSSS]

I heard you have swap disks in mid fight.

[xoxideu]

I heard xbox360 doesn't have any games.

[Mr Exclusive]

This is true. All we see now is bots claim multiplatform titles like Mass Effect, Left 4 Dead, Splinter Cell Conviction to name a few as exclusives.

bu bu but its Micro$haft exclusive! lol

[xabmol]

And I thought the 360's Dpad was bad for fighting games! xD

[TrevorPhillips]

Spinal!!

[idiealot]

Haha have fun doing ultra combos!

[Bots-in-Denial]

why do the bots even bother?.. its not like their fit enuf to get off their fatasses and start waving their arms.. all they do is wave at their moms to feed them more cake. HAHAHAHAHAH you hear that you fat basard Metalgear60%floprising??

you and rocco and other fat bots will be pissed cuz you guys have to acually sstand up and use your limbs MUAHAHAHAHAAAA!

[gnothe1]

they better not F*&$ this game up. im willing to pay 20 bones a piece for KI1 an KI2 RIGHT NOW!!but please dont go Natal for this one.

[Xlll]

This has Epic fail all over it.

[devilhunterx]

Have fun doing those retarded long ultra combos.

[xoxideu]

F-F-F-Fail combo?

[ZombieAutopsy]

Loved Killer Instinct...but dont think it should be done with Natal. Even if it was good with it (and thats a pretty big if) i work all day and when i come home the last thing im gonna wanna do is wave my limbs around like a monkey on coke.

[blue7xx7]

Well hopefully if it's true it will be good. Unlike most people in here I'm not bashing it until I see it in action.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

Would officially die the day they make it for natal

[Bathyj]

I really cant think of anything I'd like to play using Natal.

Maybe something like Red Steel, but even then I want to be holding at least a sword handle.

Call me lazy (just dont call me late for dinner) but when I want to jump around waving my arms I play sport or go drinking. I like sitting on my arse in a comfy chair when I'm gaming.

[Freak of Nature]

It's seems the fans want KI3 and or Pd2 the most when speaking about Rare.....

Looks like a good bet it will be KI3/Natal along with alot of casual mini games from rare next Holiday10'...

For me I am always hoping for Rare to give me what I thought they did best back in the old days,quirky/stylish/creative act/platformers like the first Banjo's,Donkey kong,and Conker games. I Always hope for that old magic to reappear.....

[hoops]

Natal is not even out and people are hating on it. Man this site is too funny.

[Bathyj]

My next turd isnt out yet either, but I'm pretty sure it will stink.

.
I'm just saying, we know enough about it to have an opinion. Thats all these are, opinions.

[CLANCY BROWN]

nice manners man- talkin about your shiz. While we are on the subject of going to the bathroom- I know for a fact that you pee sitting down. you wee little biztch

[Bigpappy]

They have played Natal before on PS2 and hated it. So they know how it will work better than these dumb arse developer who sit on they fat butts all day and just make games for a living. Everyone knows that 15 to 21 yr old kids are the best at game development. So when they say something like: "This will fail" we should all listen, especially those dumb arse developer with 25 or more years experience.

[DonCorneo]

name one killer instinct character

LMAO!!1!

that's what i thought, KI was a poor man's mortal combat, which is a poor man's street fighter.. in fact, toshinden and bloody roar are much better fighters than KI

[devilhunterx]

Toshinden rocked!

[Silly gameAr]

Killer Instinct 3? Hell yes. Using Natal? Hell no.

[Alan Wake]

Heavy Rain
R3
MAG
Modnation Racers

Cheap and crap list

[robotnik]

Rare sucks now, thank you Micro$haft.

[Killman]

Rare, if you seriously ruin another awesome series, I am going to be a very pissed off gamer.

[dangert12]

Do You Rekon It Will Have Make A Charectar and online fighting features that would be cool

[4point7BillionLoss]

I don't really care to, but there's 57 million wii owners out there that would probably like to try something new ...

bu bu bu teh eye toy = FAIL

FAIL YOU STUPID DROIDS !!!!!!

[chidori666]

rare died a long time ago in era of n64...

ki3 in natal= fail!

[kewlkat007]

Little cheap Boxing games will work fine...ala wii but don't ruin a franchise unless you give us OPTIONS.

[hoops]

"10.1 -
My next turd isnt out yet either, but I'm pretty sure it will stink.

.
I'm just saying, we know enough about it to have an opinion. Thats all these are, opinions."

LOLOLOL. Good one. You never played it yet you have an opinion on it. LOL
Man this site is jokes. It's so full of so many fanboys. Great entertainment.

[Immortal321]

using your body as a controller

[JJFNIGHTS80]

One of my favorite arcade fighting games on Gameboy can't wait till this one comes out.

[Grandreaper9999]

Yowza! Just checked back on my comments and BAM, someone dropped a nuke on allll those comments. I wonder what they said..

[colonyfury161]

Just make Killer Instinct ONE the ARCADE VERSION for the XBOX live store. Thats all they need to do! That game had the best arcade graphics back in the day, and they still look good in todays standards. We don't even need KI3, just bring us the Arcade Version of Killer Instinct ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! .......THE GAME IS ALREADY MADE. RARE SHOULD JJUST SPEND A DAY OF THEIR TIME AND JUST UPLOAD THE GAME TO XBOX LIVE. God, why can't game companies just do the simplest common sense things?!

[i3eyond the Circle]

Natal only would be a massive failure.

Controller support, and hopefully underestimated Natal controlling.

Can't wait to see how well this tech works.
