Killer Instinct 3D for Xbox 360 (Rumours)

First up, Quartermann has heard that Microsoft-owned developer Rare is currently hard at work on a new Killer Instinct offering for Xbox 360 tentatively titled Killer Instinct 3D: Death, Destruction, and Doom. Word has it that the plasticized 2D visuals and mash-happy gameplay have been wisely bulldozed in favor of fully 3D graphics and a more refined combat system. Our Q-spies in the U.K. report that the game looks “rather early” yet “promising,” and tell us to expect a hasty denial from the cheeky lads at Rare.

Fully 3D or 2.5D? Refined combat system?

thats something that i rally want to see, a new KI :bgrin:

[Jimmy_Bones]

Woah…Wut?! New KI?!

[TheVagabond]

I was thinking about a new KI yesterday and here it is. Magic.

[wakigatame]

I’d actually buy a 360 for this.

[KING]

…and the fighting game renaissance continues.

[R.P.D_rookie]

Bring back Cinder, please. Thanks in advance.

This rumor has been riding around the interwebs since Rare was bought by MS, and nothing has come of it yet. I won’t take anything short of an official announcement. I’ll see it when I believe it.

I know for a fact that Rare has had a team developing a new KI game. I cant tell you how I know, but lets just say I have a family member who works for a certain video game company.

cough [M$] cough

But there are 3 thins they are looking into:

1. New KI game on next gen console (360)
2. KI1 &/or 2 onto XBL with online play, leaderboards, achievements, etc
3. KI (SNES) or KIG (N64) to Wii’s Virtual Console

#3 is almost an absolute, but its still up in the air about 1, and if not 1, then 2. Make sense?

Oh yeah, one more thing…

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOMBO BREAKER!!!

3 wont happen. Rare owns the rights to KI.

[R-Jive]

Holy shit, 2008 will never be forgotten rhaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Jimmy_Bones]

New Jago Kick. YESHH!

[Suavion]

I want KI 1 arcade and gold to just be online.

[roninwarrior24]

I want KI 1 arcade…to just be online.

So we can see an endless barrage of Cinder mirror matches, right? I mean, yeah, the game is kinda fun, but extremely broken and the online seen will probably kill itself within a week or two. I know there are other beast characters, but Cinder is like putting KOF 94 Rugal in as a playable character.

3 wont happen. Rare owns the rights to KI.

And who owns Rare?

[_Onslaught]

And who owns Rare?

Microsoft. So it won’t happen on Nintendo’s virtual console.

[RushedDown]

i will run my ass out and buy a 360 the day that happens

[Hayama_Akito]
