Okay how did Fox have anything to do with Killer instinct does anyone know?

CustardTrout4806d ago

"Can’t think of anything owned by FOX called Killer Instinct? The only thing anyone seems to be able to think of is a crime drama from 2005"

JoySticksFTW4806d ago

All I know is, this better not be some April Fools joke

Been waiting for a new KI

SilentNegotiator4806d ago

...maybe they owned the trademark for a lot longer, before using it for the show? IDK, weird situation.

KONAAs4806d ago

fox has the right to the name "Killer Instinct" even tough evry one thinks of the game fox has the rights to it because of some BS when the company that had killer instinct closed,. its a long story but u can google it

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4805d ago (Edited 4805d ago )

So they get rid of the talent making kid games then now they want to make killer instinct?

Just the guy they need.

if they make a new killer instinct game, i will one day concider buying a 720(used) like i will one day buy a wii u if they make a zelda game for it (great one) BUT I HOPE RARE GOES MULTIPLAT SO I CAN JUST BUY IT ON PS4.

Daver4806d ago

Killer Instinct is the only game that could have made me consider buying a xbox. I loved that game!

Swiggins4806d ago

Rare is owned wholly by Microsoft now a days, so the likelyhood of multiplat is slim to none...

Weirder things have happened I suppose...

loulou4806d ago

and one day, you will grow some hair on certain parts of your body, become mature in the head, and realise just how sad you were when you was a pathetic fanboy tentons

Or you can quit being biased and just consider getting a 720 if the console turns out ok?

Rares not going multiplat, it can happen, but whats the likelihood of it happening?

I never seen such a crowd of people who are so bitter about the other console, its crazy.

Especially about a console nobody knows anything about? Its ridiculous...

good news.. I hope people actually care & get it.. This was a great series that rivaled MK back in the day.. It would sell much more if it were multiplat tho

Daver4806d ago

I would love to see netherrealm make a new Killer Instinct, Microsoft should sell them the IP instead of doing nothing with it.

DivineAssault 4806d ago

Its rares IP not microsofts.. I highly doubt that will happen.. MS needs as many exclusives as they can get.. They wont let rare do something like that.. Only way is if rare leaves them

JSGDarko4806d ago

Lets hope if it is in development it's not some kinect only bs.

darthv724806d ago

if it was a kinect game where you had to keep doing the moves to perform the mega, super, ultra combos.

It would be one hell of a workout. Prob better interactive experience than zumba fitness or dance central.

darthv724806d ago

I didnt say it would be good or bad. Just...interesting.

whoyouwit044806d ago

why would they even consider making this for kinect this another core title for Xbox, but you Sony fan boys just can't go with trying to but down positive Xbox news. the next xbox will have tons of core titles deal with it.

BitbyDeath4805d ago

Kinda hoping that if MS are pushing Kinect then they could make it optional for all their games and then you could get the best of both worlds.

MadLad4806d ago

Time to see if all the people clamoring over this for years actually back up all this supposed hype.
I understand that it's very much a nostalgia driven series at this point and won't shift unit after unit, no matter what form it comes in, but it does seem to have the majority of gamers on the internet behind it, so it sell decently.
For me, personally, while I had a blast with the game on the N64, I am really not all that interested.
Still, anything aimed at the core audience that Microsoft is actually willing to release, well, that's all right with me.

Why o why4806d ago

If its good, people will buy it. I never knew why ms were sitting on this ip for so long and if this fox issue was the case why not deal with it sooner either way this is good news. Time to dust off crimson skies and a couple of the other dormant ips. Its what the gamers want

MadLad4806d ago

Would love to see another Crimson Skies.

whoyouwit044806d ago

dust off crimson skies, conker, kameo, Banjoo and Perfect dark, and that's five more ips right there. I really hope Microsoft rebuilds there ips with old favourites and brand new ips, hell they have 21 studios time to put them to use.

SignifiedSix914806d ago

I want another Blood Wake. Was a pretty sweet action packed boat game.

Anyone remember it?

Killer Instinct: The Most Underrated Fighting Video Game in History

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

Michiel1989407d ago

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

Cacabunga407d 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

Jawsh666407d 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.

PRIMORDUS407d ago

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

DivineHand125406d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS406d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj407d ago

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

MeteorPanda406d ago

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

jjb1981407d ago

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

Popsicle407d ago (Edited 407d 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.

jjb1981406d 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.

Barlos916d ago

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

Petebloodyonion915d ago (Edited 915d 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

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH919d 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.
