Brings back some good memories

Morgue4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

That it does...

I have VHS tapes lying around that I recorded when playing that game. Good times but still not enough for me to purchase one.

Forgot to mention. I still have my original SNES Killer Instinct in the box with shrink wrap still on it and it came with KI soundtrack.

mikeslemonade4735d ago

Looks like a Xbox arcade game. It's not a full game like what we were hoping for.

Boody-Bandit4735d ago

It looks like Street Fighter IV graphically but it doesn't have the fluid and smooth frame rate that SFIV has. As a huge KI fan this could've made me reconsider my stance but this looks like a 360/PS3 title and not next generation.

Maybe it is an XBLA game?

Blacktric4735d ago

It's being made by Double Helix, the company who brought us such amazing games like;

>Silent Hill Homecoming
>G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
>Front Mission Evolved
>MX vs. ATV Reflex
>Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters
>Battleship

Going to be amazing for sure...

Mr_Nuts4735d ago

VHS tapes...jesus :)

Least you can play them on your Xbox One

I JOKE...I JOKE :D

SilentNegotiator4735d ago

@Blacktric

I had a bad feeling that would happen. MS sure knows how to ruin RARE's classics.

project_pat364735d ago

Best soundtrack ever, I had it myself but have since lost it and the cart with time :(

Holy crap. That sounded like the old announcer too. :O!

Must fight the urge to even consider Xbone... ughhhh!

abzdine4735d ago

it really didnt look good even if i liked the idea of bringing it back.
the proof is that they haven't said a word about it. i was like WTF??

V0LT4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

I can't expect it to be anything like the previous ones. The people that made them are not even there anymore..

I "was" hyped for a new Killer Instinct, however after seeing this I'll pass; not because it's exclusive, but because it looks like Street Fighter 4 with faster gameplay and prettier graphics.

Anon19744735d ago

I'm so excited for this...is what I would have said in 1995. I don't know. I was kinda reminded of Street Fighter 4 as well. Might be fun but aside from the nostalgia factor, I don't see myself picking this up.

Snookies124735d ago

I don't really like the art style unfortunately... Still want to play it though... Loved Killer Instict Gold back in the day.

Garbanjo0014735d ago

Dude, I love the style. Honestly I don't care about what it looks like, I'm just happy that we finally have a new Killer Instinct, and this is the first of many to come out in the future. The game is back. Street Fighter is in trouble, AND Mortal Kombat.

Lionalliance4735d ago

Remember people, is not the same Rare DX

Troublesome6264735d ago

looks like street fighter not killer instinct lmao!!!!

HappyWithOneBubble4735d ago

I was thinking the same thing but it does look fun.

Killer Instinct: The Most Underrated Fighting Video Game in History

Michiel1989403d ago

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

Cacabunga403d 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

Jawsh666403d 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.

PRIMORDUS403d ago

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

DivineHand125402d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS402d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj403d ago

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

MeteorPanda403d ago

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

jjb1981403d ago

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

Popsicle403d ago (Edited 403d 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.

jjb1981402d 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.

Barlos912d ago

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

Petebloodyonion912d ago (Edited 912d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH916d 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.
