Xbox One's Killer Instinct will be a work in progress even after launch

Fun and frantic is what this game is but even at E3 with only five months till the game is launched not all animations, characters, modes and moves have been finalized or even discussed.

SMH.. I hope they polish it up.. It didnt look very nx gen to me other than it being native 1080p

NameRemoved00174647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

Lol 1080p is not a next gen feature, almost every PC game released this generation is native 1080p. The consoles gpus were not good enough to pump out 1080p so the console version were 720p.

DivineAssault 4647d ago

nx gen features for CONSOLES i mean..

NameRemoved00174647d ago

But the Wii U is current gen and most of the games are native 1080p.

PC games having a native resolution. That's funny. Not since 2D background games buddy.

Why doesn't anyone understand resolution or frames per second? It really irks me to see console plebs talk about it.

shoddy4647d ago

Sound like they are releasing unfinished product

You're trolling dude. The game looked beautiful with awesome particle efffects , and it's 720p at 60FPS. You don't need a fighting game to be 1080p that so fast. You won't be able to tell the difference anyway.

webeblazing4647d ago

why theres a new console coming out then hmmmmm...

dale_denton4647d ago

street fighter 4 looks better

Belking4647d ago

Sorry bud, but KI is so much better and faster. Sounds like you are butt hurt.

dale_denton4645d ago

not really. you sound really but hurt though.. mad that the xbone is 499 and always online and a fee for used games huh? yeah i'd be mad too... KID.

V0LT4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

KI 1 / KI 2 should have just gotten a HD remake IMO. This game looks like SF mixed with KI.

killbillvolume124647d ago

Yep i agree the first thing that came to my mind after watching gameplay was street fighter 4.

jetlian4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

it looks faster than SF4 and if its does play like SF4 it should sell better.

I wasn't all that into it back then. It was closer to MK and I wasn't and still not much of a fan. This looks like the some of the best animation from a west.

-Gespenst-4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

It had best be cheap then.

lilmetal4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

It's free to play...
You only have to pay for extra characters.

Mikelarry4647d ago

hope they charge " work in progress" rates for those who go out and purchase this

PurpHerbison4647d ago

I really dig the honesty. Most fighting games come out unfinished and get polished down the road by paying for a new version of the same game. But they just flat out admitted it. That definitely gets some respect from me.

Killer Instinct: The Most Underrated Fighting Video Game in History

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.

Cacabunga320d 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

Jawsh666320d 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.

PRIMORDUS320d ago

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

DivineHand125319d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS319d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj320d ago

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

MeteorPanda320d ago

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

jjb1981320d ago

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

Popsicle320d ago (Edited 320d 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.

jjb1981319d 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.

Barlos829d ago

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

Petebloodyonion829d ago (Edited 829d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH832d 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.
