That DLC set up is hellalame. MS is embarrassing themselves at this point. It's really unfortunate. I'm a gamer that likes options first and foremost and they're making it so that I don't really have any this go around. Knock this crap off, MS.

Seriously, this X-box stuff just get's stranger by the day.

It's like someone compiled a list of bad decisions and is now proceeding to implement them.

I seriously would have bought an X-box ONE just for this game. Now? I guess that puts me on the PS4 team (like everyone else).

I bet it's been 20 years since I've played a killer instinct game

You like having options? So a game is coming out where you only pay for what you want and you don't call that having options?

Yuck, yuck. I was referring to having system options. With the way MS has handled this machine, I don't feel like I have a choice here. I had every intention of buying both and MS is determined to talk me out of it.

Actually I've since read that you get all the characters with the full game.

Its only free DLC and one character if you want to test it out.

Makes sense. That's not so bad really.

Don't they call that a demo? Why not just call it a demo if that's what it is?

 

[Serpentor]

The Demo is Free To Play, every other version of the game is a full version or CE or whatever edition they come up with.

My only problem from what I've seen is that I really don't get a Killer Instinct feel from the demo. If you didn't have the announcer would anyone know what it was?

But from the sounds of it the game is still very early and they are listening to the fans reactions. And that article states there are at least 2 veterans from Street Fighter and Ken Lobb himself on board.

there are at least 2 veterans from Street Fighter. . .on board.

I hope they mean from this:

I hope they mean from this:

You didn't like this game?

 

[karamazov80]

I actually did have it at my local arcade. . .and no, I hated it They tried to keep most (all?) of the same moves intact, but it failed despite that. Sort of like those lame Street Fighter EX games.

 

[JorReno]

It looks nothing like Killer Instinct. KI on SNES was dark and scary.
This looks like a SF4 clone.

 

[playa7]

Hmm, seems that you could connect almost anything in a combo/juggle this time around. Looks to be real technical as well. I remember (from KI-1) you could combo break any combo using the same combo breaker. This time you would have to use the correct breaker for each combo link. ie: light P/K to break a light combo link/finisher etc. At least this would stop players from spamming the same combos over and over and force them to learn new combo links. The special move cancel is pretty cool too. It's like a FC from SF4, this opens up a ton of different combo options.

Still needs some work but, this might actually turn out to be a winner IMO. Too bad I won't be able to play it because, I'm not buying an Xbox one, lol.

Thanks for posting the vid Plasmid!

Can anyone confirm that is Combofiend talking to the guy playing? It sounds ALOT like him if it isn't.
