Killer Instinct New Character

Well some wanted a new character and oh man did we get what we asked for. Judging by her play style, she seems to be entirely different than any previously playable characters.

her name is Sadira. A new character and she is an Aerial fighter with a spider web and wolverine claw. Looks like a fun character to play with.

Sam Fisher4647d ago

Looks like mortal kombat w/ Down syndrome

maniacmayhem4647d ago

Anyone notice she had claws...like Fulgore?

I know it's a long stretch but what if this is DH's re-imagining of Fulgor?

kingdip904647d ago

That.... would actually be cool

LackTrue4K4647d ago

i dont like that idea, but a new character is more then welcome.

buynit4647d ago

No.. Id rather have her and fulgore.

They can be brother and sister, cousins, nease. Anything just dont take out fulgore for her

kingdip904647d ago

I wonder how much she costs?

No_Limit4647d ago

$2000 for 10 minutes. :D

Oh, if you mean the game, she is part of the 8 characters package for $20 or you can buy her separately for $4.99.

kingdip904647d ago

Just 10 mins huh... excuse me I'm off to talk to the bank ;)

DigitalRaptor4647d ago

Why didn't they just bring this game out when it was ready?

vividi4647d ago

Six characters at launch?

DigitalRaptor4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

They are charging $20 for 6 characters and $40 for 8 in total and additional extras. Fighting games generally have 20+ characters at launch, and that is considered a full package in the genre. KI is not a full game by any stretch, which is why they're going for a "second season" of 8 more DLC characters.

They should have waited a year and offered it as the full package, when it was ready.

Fireseed4647d ago

Ok well it's all a matter of opinion then in that case. Personally I think launching with 6 characters for the price it's set at is ready. I mean the core fighting mechanics are there. The visuals look great already. Each character has their own unique feel and play style in accompaniment to unique stages and theme songs. The landscape of game development has changed, games are a service now a days, not a set in stone product. I mean look at League of Legends, it only launched with 17 characters (albeit LoL champs take SIGNIFICANTLY less time to produce) and now it has 115 in a time span of 4 years. Should they have waited 4 years until it was "done"? No. Cause they wouldn't have had the funding. Piecing games out like this allows them to foster a community of dedicated players and gauge how much demand their is. Who's to say we don't get to a season 4 or 5? But hell, if you really wanna keep believing that it's really not "ready" then don't buy it until season 2 comes out. Consider it a manner of self implemented development time. There problem solved :)

tokugawa4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

killer instinct looks f'king incredible and i cant wait. but i have to agree with raptor on this one.

the game should be delayed for another 8 - 10 months atleast. the current launch model is ridiculous and nothing more than launch day padding.

and frankly the xbo launch line up doesn't need any padding.

how can we start a petition to get this delayed until the COMPLETE package is done? man i want KI. but i want it with its full potential realised.

check my comments, and i aint needlessly trolling

What's with the lies there digital? Its $20 for 8 characters or $40 for 8 characters plus costumes and the original killer intsict game.

http://www.siliconera.com/2...

Educate yourself.

If it's 20 for the core game with 8, maths dictates that 16 (later on probably) will be $40 sans extras and 32 for $60 which is the standard price for a game.

Problem?

jetlian4647d ago

I wonder if the original ki has its own achievements. Otherwise i'll probably just get 20 dollar one

Kingdom Come4647d ago

I'd rather 6 superbly balanenced, detailed characters than 22 with over a half being filler, and the game being massively unbalanced. This game is looking brilliant...

Killer Instinct: The Most Underrated Fighting Video Game in History

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

Michiel1989391d ago

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

Cacabunga391d 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

Jawsh666391d 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.

PRIMORDUS391d ago

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

DivineHand125390d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS390d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj391d ago

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

MeteorPanda390d ago

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

jjb1981391d ago

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

Popsicle390d ago (Edited 390d 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.

jjb1981389d 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.

Barlos899d ago

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

Petebloodyonion899d ago (Edited 899d 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.

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH903d 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.
