Killer Concerns With Killer Instinct - Podcast Unlocked

IGN:

We have some major worries about launching Killer Instinct with only 6 characters. Is it enough to have a great fighting game?

_FantasmA_4660d ago

Damn its like Shaq Fu all over again. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, Shaq Fu had some decent characters. I shouldn't have insulted Shaq Fu by comparing it to Killer Instinct.

Belking4660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

you hating, dude. go play some PS all stars. That should be insulting enough.

Transporter474660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

Hey at least it has more then 6 Characters at Launch.

Btw learn to take a joke laugh a little ;)

_FantasmA_4660d ago

Thanks, I will. PS All Stars is good game. If you weren't balls deep in Don Matrick, you'd probably like the game too. You haven't even played All Stars, but I guess I'll take your fanboy opinion as the truth right? Where is M$ all stars? Master Chief vs Purple Master Cheif vs Marcus Phoenix vs Pink Master Chief??

Snookies124660d ago

PS All-Stars is a pretty fun game actually. Quite mature though, bashing another game just because someone bashed one you're interested in. Surely you could have simply tried to educate on why Killer Instinct wasn't going to be bad rather than that, right?

"You haven't even played All Stars, but I guess I'll take your fanboy opinion as the truth right?"

You can't possibly be serious with that after your first comment.

Seriously, where are the mods? One submits this flame bait, then just wonders off and doesn't bother cleaning up the inevitable drivel that normally proceeds. In it's current state this site just comes across as incredibly amateurish and nothing more than a fanboy haven, too afraid to ban half the members who wouldn't last 2 minutes on any other respectable forum in case they lost ad revenue. Pathetic.

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

I think people are just upset about it not coming to their console.

Edit: KI that is...

These guys are hilarious. How are you trying to polish up a piece of crap and package it as gold? Are gamers really that deluded? We have BRAINS!! This is insulting!

6 characters! Hope it fails hard! Freakin M$ trying to reach into the cookie Jane with an unfinished product.

aceitman4660d ago

my take is they where not going to make launch with full roster so they made it a free to play , with dlc packs so they can finish it down the line , how many backgrounds will there be. they knew people wanted this game bad and know people will buy it. but I think people should not buy it with 6 characters that is bullshit to me.

ion6664660d ago

compared to tekken tag yeah it has like no characters.Thats a fucking demo. lmao

GodGinrai4660d ago

c-c-c-com-c-combo b-b-b-breaker!

Sorry.... but I will NEVER get bored of doing that.

c-c-c.. nah im just kiddin.

GodGinrai4660d ago

lets be honest...most of you sucked at KI, back in the day. Dont lie to me!

ion6664660d ago

yeah i did . my boy was chief thunder.

GodGinrai4660d ago

I used chief thunder and fulgar..and I admit I sucked at it..which is a big deal for me because I normally kick ass at fighting games. When this releases I can redeem myself! lol

iceman064660d ago

I could only play one character...Glacier. That's it! I had his moves down to a science though. I used to go to this bowling alley with a huge arcade and shut it down. Then, I got challenged to use another character. Well, that's all she wrote for KI after that! Great memories.

theWB274660d ago

I played Killer Instinct Gold on N64, with no blocks. No lie, if Gold was featured at major tournaments I would at least consistently rank high.

My main guy was TJ Combo...brutal with that guy. But I had everyone mastered. Sad thing is my mastery of that game has never transferred to any other fighting game. Hopefully I can with this new iteration, hopefully TJ is in.

ion6664660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

XBOX 1 was a rush system.This proves it. which kinda sux.killer instinct will go the way of virtua fighter showdown. but at least it had a full roster goddamn .and it looks cool too.bring to ps4. lol

XboxFun4660d ago

All these Sony fanboys wanting these great Xbox One games to come to PS4.

makes you wonder right. Listen, ive said it before and I'll say it again, if you want to play these great games only on Xbox One, then get a Xbox One.

no use hoping this great game will come to PS4.

KonsoruMasuta4660d ago

I don't want this to come to PS4. It looks like a watered down SF.

Deadpoolio4660d ago

The games anyone actually wants like MAYBE Dead Rising 3 will be on PS4 6-12 months after launch It's Capcom, they will not miss out on the opportunity to port it to PS4....I'd rather wait that time for Dead Rising 3: Off the record than buy an XBO....Titanfall there are already rumblings that it will be and is planned for a PS4 port 12 months after....Killer Instinct NO thank you you can keep your watered down fighter with only 8 characters lol...It's Double Helix anyway and their track record isn't good

BlaqMagiq244660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

Ha you joking right? I would've really wanted this game until I found out they will nickel and dime you for more characters. You can keep Dead Rising 3 and Ryse as none of them look fun to me. And GT is a much better simulator than Forza any day. BTW did I mention with Forza 5 youll be paying $60 for an incomplete game and download the rest? Yeah have fun downloading what should've already been on the disc.

DonFreezer4659d ago

Let them cry.They eat their tongues when the One releases and crushes the ps4.

Killer Instinct: The Most Underrated Fighting Video Game in History

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

Michiel1989402d ago

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

Cacabunga402d 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

Jawsh666402d 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.

PRIMORDUS402d ago

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

DivineHand125401d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS401d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj402d ago

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

MeteorPanda401d ago

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

jjb1981402d ago

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

Popsicle401d ago (Edited 401d 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.

jjb1981400d 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.

Barlos910d ago

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

Petebloodyonion910d ago (Edited 910d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH914d 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.
