Rare is owned by MS, it would remain a XB1’s exclusive.
KI was always console exclusive so thats nothing new… And Smash is doing just fine…
I can guarantee that if this game fails, we’ll never see KI again in our lifetimes.
I’m too much of a fan and waited too long for this moment. So I’m most likely buying an XboxOne, especially if Double Helix keeps impressing me.
Seriously great point! If this game dies do you really think it will get a second chance? Hell no it will be dead and buried forever!
If Microsoft cares enough it could get a PC release. The likelihood of that is slim
I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see who the next fighter is. (fingers crossed Chief Thunder) As a fan of the original the new Glacius is pretty bad ass. Any links to hear the stage music clearly outside of the 6 second Vine links?
But on the other hand, if this is a huge hit for Microsoft, putting up Halo numbers for a fighting game, it could lead to them letting Rare remake its other properties the right way. I’d like to see Perfect Dark redone for the next generation.
Why would this let them do that?
If this succeeds it’s on the shoulders of Double Helix, not Rare. If anything it’d give them more reason to keep Rare on the bench while borrowing their IPs.
It still doesn’t mean their IPs can’t be used. This is the changing of a Generation after all, and Microsoft is sorely lacking in First-Party Games. Can’t keep leaning on Chief and Customizable Racing Simulators, especially when you acquired a company that has IPs that are still respected.
Yeah they can use the IPs, I’m just saying that Rare is not going to have much of a hand in them. Probably a good thing considering their work recently.
OK, I’ve been keeping tabs on the info and coverage on this new entry to an awesome series and so far I’m kinda impressed. 
And I can’t believe that you can now counter a combo breaker in this one! Holy Crap!! O_O
Can’t hear more info this Sunday!
Damn the more i watch Glacius vids the more im impressed by the gameplay design… DH is really lifting the bar for the KI series…
I wish it was on ps4 as well.
No, just no. That doesn’t even make sense, and you are insane to want a game which has barely even been shown and looks incredibly promising, to fail so you can get it on your preferred console (which wouldn’t fuckin happen anyway cause that’s not how business works).
I have a suggestion. If you jump off a bridge now you won’t have to see this awesome game release on the everyone loves to hate XBONE.
So based on the vids it looks like Icepick and the horizontal Ice Lance are normals/command normals that you can cancel into specials…
Ignore him, he’s a fanboy.
Damn Sabrewulf and Glacius stages look amazing…
The one thing that irks me about the games is the missing hit screams. That was a HUGE part of KI, I would literally walk to the machine when I hear enough “good one, good one” by a cinder getting hit, or saberwulf yelping.
That really really needs to come back, I guess they could make it so people can toggle it off if they want. But the game seems so quite without it…
As much as I wish for that as well, it’s not gonna happen. The best you can hope for is that it gets ported to PC.
You guys seen the new Glacius gameplay?
