Killer Instinct (2013)

Madcatz doing a live stream for those interested

I wonder who the resident boss character will be…?
In any case, madcatz is on stream now -
they are simply providing insight on the game mechanics in general.

Know what I’m kinda looking forward too? Another Killer Cuts CD. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Combo Breakers Idea

I was thinking the same thing.There were allot of subtle things in KI 2 that were improved upon from KI 1. The same system was implemented for the enders in KI2 as well. You start out with 4 combo enders, the first ender you did would be one hit, the second 2 hits, the third 3 hits and so on up to 4 hits. The only stipulation was if you repeated any of the previous enders (before doing all four) your hit count would not go up. The reward for doing all four enders asap was more getting maximum hits and damage on all enders there after and access to use the special ender witch was a 5 hits and was very different from the other 4 enders. I loved this, and i hope the bring this back in the new KI.

Are you referring to Rare not developing it?
I understand how you’d feel that way but let me remind you that Rare’s (not rareware) game creating ability has been less than stellar since its movement to microsoft and quite frankly there is no reason to assume they would do KI3 anymore justice than any other game developer.

Have you seen what Rare did to the the Banjo series with their latest installment a few years back?
A Disgrace and an embarrassment to the franchise!
The grand majority of us would rather not see KI3 suffer a similar fate :frowning:

Im so stoked for this. I was pumped before and i honestly didnt really give a crap about the studios record. Bad previous record + given a chance at a reboot of a loved series + given a chance at a console launch exclusive = me having faith they would bring in outside sources that know fighters. Watching the vids of this undeveloped version is getting me gitty like a schoolgirl lol

In all honesty Double Helix doesn’t have that bad of a record, just bad luck.

Silent Hill Homecoming was a great game, but after that they got saddled with Movie Games like G.I. Joe & Battleship. Now that they got a well-known and respected IP, I expect them to make a fantastic game.

Really when it comes to half the games they produced i wouldnt even consider playing them no matter who made them lol.

Back on topic: i cant wait for come glacius and fulgore game play. The second footage of them if available my wallets proverbial panties will drop so hard there will be a crater to china

Is there an official thread where the developers check for feed back ? Or is it this one lol ?

So who’s the next member of the Killer 11 that’ll be shown at EVO with Glacius?

My guess, someone hype-inducing. So either Orchid or Cinder…

A little know fact about homecoming is that mid way through production a guy called Tom hullet came by the studio and single handily changed the direction of the project. For those who don’t know, Tom hullet is the man responsible for ruining silent hill post 4. The game had a very different direction before he came along so who knows how it would have turned out had that asshole not come along.

Thanks for the refresher on that. That was one of the many things I liked about KI2. In fact, I’m one of the few that thought KI2 >>>> KI (outside the soundtrack).

so depressed that this is an xbox one exclusive.

can’t wait to play this in 7 years!

The only problem I have now is that they fall down way to fast from AAs and A2As. They gotta give them more float and decrease the speed in which they recover off the ground.

Here’s the official forum from DH. http://www.doublehelixgames.com/community/

EDIT: Here’s the twitter of Patrick Gillmore, he’s working in this game https://twitter.com/MrEpilog

i agree . the sparks aren’t really adding to the impact, they kind of take all the attention away from the actual characters, moves, and background (except maybe with projectiles clashing. it looked cool with that). the OG KI didn’t have a million separate bright pieces in front of everything. i’m all for the game being over the top but playing with dynamic shit without understanding it’s priorities can do the opposite. it looks like invisible people are welding metal and setting off fireworks while there’s fighting behind it. they have to tone it down or just not make it super bright.
i didn’t even know there was blood until i watched the high def videos because everything is overshadowed by the sparks. it’s super early so i hope they sort it out in the coming months. at least this game isn’t boring looking and it looks like the devs actually care about the game and what fans want.
i say bitch and praise the game so they hear it from the community but be level headed about it.
i really hope Riptor doesn’t look ass. he’s not very popular so i’m guessing he may be one of the last reveals :frowning:
