I hope KI3 is made whether it's Natal based or otherwise

Megaton6073d ago (Edited 6073d ago )

Gross. Seriously you guys, after all these years of wanting another KI, you're jumping for joy that it would be on Natal? It better have controller support.

Lightsaber6073d ago

I have to agree with xiphos on that one. Natal for the must part seem stupid to me. It be a cool to use with nxe and milo was kind of neat (be cool for talkin to npc in fable 3) but sorry I want my controllers. If I want some motion control crap I'd own a wii for all the great shoveware.

sikbeta6073d ago

Old school fighting game can't be ruined by "newer" controllers...

colonel1796073d ago

if they ruin KI, the only fighter I love, I will literally go to Rare and kill all of them with a electric saw!... They already ruined Banjo Kazooie...

MS what have you done with Rare?, just let them die already so they'd be remembered by the epic games they used to make with Nintendo, instead of the crappy games they've made since you bought them

rroded6073d ago (Edited 6073d ago )

say it aint so fulgor!

how that going to work anyways just jump n punch at the air or what

this is just wrong KI3 needs to be made right!

presto7176073d ago

Was it good? What platform?

Nihilism6073d ago (Edited 6073d ago )

I can't believe this, you hope for 10 years that they finally release another killer instinct, and they go and destroy it by making it a natal game....because everyone knows how well a fighting game would play with natal, i'd put my shoulder out trying to do all the combo's

@presto717

It was a fighting game on N64

ultimolu6073d ago

It actually started on the SNES. I had the first one for SNES and Gameboy. That was one of my favorite fighting games. Jago and Glacius were two of my best characters.

With that being said...they are going to f*ck up the game with Natal support. Killer Instinct deserves a proper third installment.

badz1496073d ago

I think M$ is trying to kill Rare for good!

silvacrest6073d ago

killer instincts gold was on the N64

the original was on the SNES

also i agree that making it natal only would be an epic fail for KI3, hell, i would prefer no natal support for this game, if it is indeed getting made

execution176073d ago

lame i don't want to be throwing my arms around like a spazz and even bother wasting my cash on Natal, no buy from me if its Natal only:(

MGSR THE HD VERSION6073d ago (Edited 6073d ago )

"I can't believe this, you hope for 10 years that they finally release another killer instinct"

people hoped for a real sequel to FF7, which is a game that came out 12 years ago.

Nihilism6073d ago

Yes they did, but there will never be a natal final fantasy, quite different. I see no difference between killer instinct on natal, than if it were played via a wii fit board.

GUNS N SWORDS6073d ago (Edited 6073d ago )

hmmmm, i think the whole world has been waiting 16 years for a true sequel to sonic.

seriously if Nintendo can make a perfect conversion from 2d to 3d for mario then Saga should be able to as well.

Sarcasm6073d ago

How in the world is anybody going to pull off any of the insane combos from KI using Natal?

multipayer6073d ago

You know it is interesting, it'll probably be the best use of full body motion I'd actually be entertained by... I'm sure the old school one will be remade to add hype and play like all your other *new* fighting games...

Rare owes you nothing!

Bathyj6072d ago

@presto717

It was good back in the day when no one had played Tekken, Soul Blade or Virtua Fighter yet.

I honestly think all the hope for a new one is really just nostalga. The main drawcard was the high hit number, easy to pull off combos.

I havent played it for a long time, but I dont think it would have aged very well.

Just my opinion.

gaffyh6072d ago

Is it just me or does this sound like Sony's forced SixAxis use in Lair? Seems like Rare are going to ruin another of their franchises for MS, although KI wasn't one of my favourite fighters personally.

XDF6073d ago

And then the money shot: “I think it’s about doing something different than with a conventional controller.”

If KI3 is released in Fall with Natal function, along with Fable 3, Halo Reach, and Gears of War 3...and games for Natal..

X360 will rule the Holiday in 2010.

The real killer6073d ago (Edited 6073d ago )

DUDE, it's only camera with body detection nothing more.
Pfff, what fuss about NATAL!!

A little bit shaking with your arse,limps,head or body and you call that a WOW factor!!

Saaking6073d ago

LMAO, I'll take games over Natal any day.

sikbeta6073d ago

Gears is good for being Gears, Natal will not make any difference

As I said long before, motion can be a PLUS for a game, but definitely is not the CORE of the game itself

Golfcoachh6072d ago

then when a rumor of a great game comes out for natal, you say, I will take games over natal. So what is it, no games, or just not the games you want?

Sonyslave36073d ago

BUT it will fail sorry droids NAtal is going to own with AAA games.

Halo Reach
Fable3
KI3 and many more to come.

The real killer6073d ago

A another smart arse fortune-teller.

Saaking6073d ago

hahaha, have fun waving your arms around like a moron.

RedPawn6073d ago

Sorry Slave KI is complete trash, this is one game among many that have no place nowadays.

cyborg69716073d ago

Yeah right slave. Natal is about as useful as an armless chronic masturbator.

I knew it was being developed. Scivelation was announced for the 360 too.

Hell yeah KI 3 in any form I'll take

Michiel1989449d ago

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

Cacabunga449d 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

Jawsh666449d 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.

PRIMORDUS450d ago

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

DivineHand125448d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS448d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj449d ago

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

MeteorPanda449d ago

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

jjb1981449d ago

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

Popsicle449d ago (Edited 449d 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.

jjb1981448d 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.

YES!!!!

Iron Galaxy wanted to come back

https://www.windowscentral....

Matt Booty made it happen

https://www.videogameschron...

This is how you support your first party games! Continued support after 10 years!

The Killer Instinct fans appreciated and the whole FG community celebrates!

Congrats goes to Matt, Mick, Adam and everyone at Iron Galaxy!

Tomorrow we fight together! I can´t wait!

Barlos958d ago

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

Petebloodyonion958d ago (Edited 958d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH962d 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.
