Wasn't this game supposed to be free all along?
I just checked my email, nothing... Come on Microsoft, I've been supporting you even THROUGH the DRM fuck up. I want love too.
EDIT: What's the Email header, so I can be on the look-out for this?
In that case, its hilarious they didn't bother sending it to you. lol.

Not to scoff at free stuff. which is always cool.
But Microsoft indeed appears to be giving away everything for free until people forget that PlayStation exists...

I didn't get one, but I did get a free Audi in Forza 5. Can't redeem the code, though...
Free game, only $500!
Seriously though, Can't complain about them unlocking all the characters for you, though I bet it is only for the initial set. I bet they end up releasing DLC patches with more and more characters as time goes on. Kudos to MS.
What if they know they you will already buy the console, so they won't send you free stuff? Perhaps it is to entice people that won't buy the console and are trying to sweeten the deal?

Oh you mean that F2P game made by Double Helix?
And NOT Rare?
And NOT Rare?
Yes, but now you get like 5 more characters instead of paying for them. Originally all you got was Jago out of the 6 or 7 launch characters for the F2P version? Something like that.
Its just the launch characters though.
The full $20 game includes 6 characters at launch with 2 more released early next year for a total of 8 characters. The free "demo" includes one rotating character with all game modes. MS is giving all 8 characters out to people.
Dude PS3 and PS4 are getting new Guily Gear no signs of either 360 and Xbone versions. I would take that over KI developed by Double Helix even if I had to wait.

Same. I'm in the UK though, so maybe they'll come through tomorrow.

At first I was like "well no shit, it's a free game". Not bad at all to get all characters for free.

Low preorder figures.

Pretty sure Double Helix hit this one out of the park. They've been very transparent about the development and when I played it at the Tour, it was absolutely worthy.
Do you really want Rare making this? They're Rare in name only now
Everyone who has played the game has liked or loved it. And Double Helix has quite a few competent fighting game developers after re structuring.
1 character. The rest you pay for.
Not at launch though.
I'd be so down for a Tekken game ready for launch, but it looks like its not happening.
Tekken Revolution is great though and they could have just ported that to the PS4 IMO from the PS3 (it came out less than 6 months ago too). Would have been awesome. Plus, like KI its f2p.

Canadian here, and I got the email. Have had gold for almost 6 yrs and am at the highest Rewards level.
All I need now if for 360 fightstick compatibility. Pipe dream I know, but I'm not into fighters enough to go out and buy a new one.
