Killer Instinct (2013)

It is, but they haven’t given an exact date yet. This is kind of dumb question, but does anyone know if Glacius’es Instinct mode ( the ice armor) nullifies combo breakers?

Glad to see people looking forward to KI, buuuut let’s wait and see how many who’s really are up for using ~$810, just to play one game…

Edit: Typo, ment $710…

First of all where the heck you get that figure from?

Secondly, I’m sure you are aware there are other games in the Xbox One’s launch lineup besides KI, right? I have at least 5 day one purchases.

Hmm I wanna say no but I can’t be certain… I don’t think that situation has been shown in any vids…

I would guess.

The System.
Paying for XBL
Paying for the Game
Paying for the Arcade Sticks as 360 ones as of now do not work on the One.

Glacius’s armor is only good for one hit. It will depend if the combo breakers are multiple hit like past games

Same thing with PS4 except the system is $100 less. Not much of a difference really.

Paying for PS+ can be eliminated for F2P games as they ain’t blocked by the paywall. Fighters including this one are hopping on that bandwagon.

No, it’s actually more than that.

With no Fighting Games coming out for PS4 right away there’s no pressure to buy an Arcade Stick for the system right away, if any exist at all.

And most importantly your PS+ account transfers over if you have one already.

Buying everything at once in bulk isn’t a wise move.

No, Ice armor does not negate or save you from combo breaker.

As it ever been confirmed for sure that PS3 sticks will work on PS4? I read conflicting reports on that.

Yes confirmed PS3 sticks will not work on PS4. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/13/playstation-4-incompatible-with-ps3-mad-catz-tournament-edition/
And KI is not F2P.
Also I was just saying hypothetically if an exclusive fighter were coming to PS4 it wouldn’t be that much of a difference.

Has it been confirmed 360 sticks wont work on xboxone?

Yes, this gen sticks/controllers are not compatible with next gen.

I’m sure people will be modding sticks though…

My bad, a typo, ment the following:

$500 X1
$60 KI3
$150 arcadestick

$710 - still pretty expensive, just to play one game, assuming people actually mean their “im only buying a X1 for KI3” comments.

While true, (I’m also getting Watch Dogs), it’s not like there aren’t other games that people dont want or will want. What I’m saying is that, yes, while I’m primarily buying the Xbox one for KI as that is the launch Title that excites me the most, I also am investing in the Xbox one platform because of the titles that are coming down the pipeline and believe in some of the exclusives that MS will have for the system. Same with PS4, even though for me, the game I want doesn’t come out until Q1.

So saying, all this money for one game isn’t really true, as the system will have other abilities and other content, but for the launch, yes. We’re gamers. We do stuff like that. Happens every launch period. Every single one.

Maybe by some grace of god our old Xbox TE sticks will work and it’ll only cost the price of the game system and game. If not…yeah I’ll probably throw down still. I don’t play anything but fighting games anymore and this looks like the first new fighting game I’d like to play. I always like seeing something fresh when it comes to fighting games and Killer Instinct looks like it’s going to have powerful offensive and defensive games. Hella frame traps and throws and Glacius looks like he’ll be keeping people in the zone with some strong offense as well.

I’d like to see another tag team style game like Marvel or Skullgirls where the characters are all a part of the battle and can be switched between at any time. Killer Instinct has enough of what I like in a 2d fighter and overall gives me the most of what I liked about playing Ibuki in 3rd Strike. Lots of mind games and although there will be matchups, getting in the opponents head even during a combo situation will be very interesting and something that hasn’t regularly been a part of a regularly played fighting game in a long time.

Bought a Dreamcast for Soul Calibur and Marvel vs. Capcom 1 (literally played nothing but these two games until 3S came out). I bought an Xbox 180 for Dead or Alive 3. Bought an Xbox 360 for Virtua Fighter 5 and Halo, and Killer Instinct coming from the grave is enough for the One.

I’m not really a gamer…just like to play fighting games. I retired from playing the majority of game genres after I started taking 3rd Strike seriously. There was a period of about 4 years where I was literally playing nothing but 3S with the occasional Guilty Gear and Tekken Tag. Hopefully Killer Instinct gets popular enough that I can just play that, Marvel and maybe Skullgirls till whenever the new Marvel and SF eventually releases.

Is that stick compatible with the original Xbox, or Xbox One?

Looks like false advertising.

Foehammer has been around for a while. Obviously talking about the 2001/2 Xbox. Some people still play their Xbox 180’s or have emulators on them.
