C'mon, Rare, get with it. Gameplaybook breaks down the five top reasons why we absolutely need Killer Instinct 3 for Xbox Live/Xbox 360.
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.
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
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.
I loved this game in the arcade, my main was Jago, Ultra Combo!!! https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I remember trying my hardest to learn that "Ultra... Ultra.... Ultra...." finish. Such a great fighting game.
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.
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.
A game that had been thought cancelled or at the very least in development hell, Rare’s Everwild has resurfaced of late – first through comments last week on Jez Corden & Rand Al Thor’s Xbox Two podcast that it was finally “progressing well”. We’ve now had confirmation from Phil Spencer himself that Everwild is indeed still in active development, and is in a playable state.
What you blabbering on about now? What “crow”?
I swear you over exaggerate or make stuff up to gain some kind of “win”.
Every time an Xbox first party studio announce a new game and the said team went silent and focused on development, FUD bs starts to popup on the internet. " Oh...RARE is in development hell".

When the original director left, many people here gone full doom and gloom for this game.
“It's a mess”, sources say this Xbox game is in serious development problems"

They were spreading this lying BS just one month before we got this:

So give me a break and spare me from your hypocrisy.
And you’re surprised?
Seriously you’re bitching about people being skeptical when history has not really been in their favour
Phill played Crackdown 3, Redfall and Halo Infinite before it got a delay, when the game was dead set on its original release date YET they ended up being either bad or average.
It’s not anyone’s fault the thought process on these things is steeped in skepticism, Microsoft has brought that on themselves…yet you wouldn’t know that because you give them a pass for everything while spinning anything bad into a good thing. If people like yourself called them out from the start then maybe things could have been different.
"Seriously you’re bitching about people being skeptical when history has not really been in their favour"
Yeah... I remember YOU bitching about RARE´s Sea of Thieves and look at the irony now! That´s their history!
Been skeptical has nothing to do with been negative and straight up toxic! If you think you´re entitled to talk sh!t and trash something today, don´t go ape sh!t when people call you out on your bs tomorrow!
"If people like yourself called them out from the start then maybe things could have been different."
You´re delusional. You still think those companies give a F* about what we think or want? After everything we have witnessed in these four years? You got be kidding!
Phil wouldn't know what a good game is if it sat on his face.
Showcase or Xbox direct 2025? NGL MS has been revealing better lookin games since Everwild. They shouldn't of announced the game so early (5 years prior)
Either way I'll keep an eye on this game as I'm. More curious than anything.
"Showcase or Xbox direct 2025? NGL MS has been revealing better lookin games since Everwild. They shouldn't of announced the game so early (5 years prior)"
Early game announcements by studios aren´t meant only to entice and attract gamers and gaming media´s interest in a game, but also and mainly aimed at new developers that might want to join their ranks.
It´s an industry standard.
5 years is a bit much. At that point it's only a concept. Yes it's a bit much when anyone does it.
@mkis007
"5 years is a bit much. At that point it's only a concept. Yes it's a bit much when anyone does it."
It´s not that simple. Like I said, it´s an industry standard for a reason.
To get a game announced in early stages of development takes strategy and methodical evaluation for people in high places, since it costs a lot of money, manpower, time and resources.
For instance, didn´t Sony just announced a new *next gen* espionage-action game by Kojima Productions?
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Kojima´s Death Stranding 2 doesn´t even have a release date, he and his team still got O.D to release on Xbox next, and his new next gen game had already been announced even without a project name.
And you think 5 years is a bit much?
How long do you think it´s gonna take to have that espionage-action by out? What´s your thoughts about it?
Let´s hear
Didn´t Sony announce a new action-espionage game
I knew you would go there so I answered your question in my first response. It's too early when anyone does it. Sony was name dropping kojima to get ahead of xbox's OD announcement, so I kind of get that one... but I just don't like announcements before 3 years from release.
Idk every time I hear news of Phil goes and plays a game it never turns out good lol.
Crackdown, redfall etc lol.
This is like the madden curse. When ever a team is put on the cover they do bad. Example look at 49ers this year lol.
If this game does bad the Phil curse is real lol
"Idk every time I hear news of Phil goes and plays a game it never turns out good lol.
Crackdown, redfall etc lol."
Perfect Dark
Perfect dark isn’t out yet.
So if there was news about him playing it and enjoying it then it could be cursed to lol.
@pwnmaster3000
"Perfect dark isn’t out yet."
Doesn´t matter. It looks awesome and people are hyped.
"So if there was news about him playing it and enjoying it then it could be cursed to lol."
Right. According to you, Perfect Dark is cursed. Noted!

Dude chill. Why so sensitive. Its a light hearted comment.
Why so uptight?
Did I offend daddy Phil?
Welcome to Xbox.
Where no one there seems to know what they're doing.
Merrrrrinnnnnn !!!!!
Rare, the developer behind pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, has introduced a dedicated dog park to its studio grounds for employees' good boys and girls.
Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.
Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"
Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.
Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.
I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.
To be perfectly honest with every one.. I would love to play Killer Instinct with Kinect. I am not ashamed.
I've been praying for another Killer Instinct since the PS1 days. It's just such a great series that was very under-rated and could be best described as a cult classic. Killer Instinct is without a doubt the BEST fighting game I have ever played, with The King of Fighters '98 and Marvel vs. Capcom. Please Rare give us Killer Instinct 3!!!
Now they Just making avatars and Skittles,what a waste of talent!!
$m is using rare for other things like avatars,clothes and kinect. In anycase most of the devs that did killer instinct are probably gone and moved on. If they made a new killer would it be good in this day and time?
I'm waiting for KI3 since... ever!!! Best fighter ever! and it was on guaranteed games list for xbox360 on the box when it was first released (do u remember this list? ), so sooner or later it must be CREATED and i MUST BUY IT.
And i always use fulgore as my avatar on every site i have account.
