Killer Instinct Music Sample! (Direct feed from PAX)

already decided this will be first in on day one, and the menu will be up for a while at least while i drool

i do like the music in the glacius reveal. they did say that the other one still wasnt final didnt they?

cant wait, KI13 cuts for me, thanks!

At least the theme isn't final... Unsure of the character themes

Personally I am still unsure if I like sabrewulfs... Half of the reason is I haven't exactly been able to hear it
 
Man, that Killer Instinct is ridiculously good.

Never played KI, but even still I loved the theme music, and they are doing the music proper here with this one for sure.
 
So. Fucking. Awesome.

God, I really hope they include a "Killer Cuts" CD as a bonus with the game.

Kinda disappointed that this won't see a normal retail release. I want a proper case with a color manual full of artworks, character's cards with their backstory, posters, Killer Cuts on a CD, EVERYTHING.
 
Really looking forward to hear the final tracks in the game.

I get the feeling the title screen music can be licensed to be used at sports stadiums during timeouts of the final minutes of games.

So good.
 
Mick is killing it - sounds amazing.

There will always be opinions about the style of the KI fighting game but it's all but fact that the music has and continues to be amazing.

How many of you guys listened to this back to back to back already? just love it.

I really like the music, just surprised that dynamic music is supposed to be a notable feature. I mean, the tools for using dynamic music has been around for what must be years now (in audio engines like FMOD), and yet noone has tried it in a fighting game before? Seems like the kind of game where it would make sense.
Or maybe other devs have tried it already? I'm not too familiar with the genre myself.
 
Music is phenomenal, Jago's theme is money. I cannot wait for this game. As somebody who has long fallen off the fighting game bandwagon, I can't wait to get back on.
 
Ha! Found it!

I have mine somewhere around my room, such a fantastic sountrack.

I remember blasting it through my stereo when I was like 12 lol.

I really hope they top Killer Cuts with the new soundtrack although I'm not sure if that's possible at least for me because of nostalgia, etc.
 
Does anyone happen to have the Gold Cuts CD? Most people don't realize it, but there was one for Killer Instinct Gold as well.
 
Also for those that enjoyed the previous games music...

Old character themes will be secret/unlockable in the final game. Mick Gordon says they will be remixes, so unsure if this means just new instruments (cover) or just a new take sampling the older music.

That's awesome... but I really hope we get the originals as well. I'd even take them as DLC. I just want to be able to go into some menu screen and change Sabrewulf's stage music to the KI1 version if I want to.

Original character models (updated) would be nice as well.
 
Mick Gordon's work is up the roof and that's how much you gotta give Robin Beanland's credit because his work stands the test of time goddamn.
 
Yes, arcade sticks. The Tournament Edition 2 Arcade FightStick is XBONE only.

I think you've got that a little mixed up. They were booing Microsoft and the fact that KI is X1 exclusive. The stick has only been announced for X1 because there are NO fighting games announced for the PS4 at the moment.

That said, the booing was extremely uncalled for and very disrespectful to DH, Rich and MarkMan. It's like booing Halo being exclusive to Xbox. Just makes the FGC look bad.
 
I can't wait to hear what he does with the other character themes. He has been looking for a female rapper, so perhaps that would be for Orchid?
 
The way Mick cut the main theme (from 0:30 to 0:50) makes a perfect ring tone.

That build up before though just makes the main theme arrival so beautiful.

I bet we will hear a lot of it during the upcoming NFL + NBA season for those last minute time out plays.
 
two of the pauses sound like they belong the other sounds like a sloppy cut when putting together the sample.



pick your console based on the games you want not the circus of stupid making its rounds on the internet.

KI's the only thing I want on One. Not going to buy a console for one game, I fell for that too many times in the past.
 
What are you all expecting from Thunder's theme? Something new altogether? A remix of the older theme? A mix between new and old?
 
I feel ashamed for wanting to get an Xbone now after hearing this.
So silly. Gamers go for the games, right? XB1's lineup is mighty impressive esp the exclusives and Killer Instinct is a major heavy hitter. Not many high profile system exclusive fighters these days.
 
This music is fantastic and I love how it fits thematically in the KI universe. And Mick Gordon has been getting a lot of praise. Would someone mind explaining why he is so good at his job? What has he also done that should be earmarked?
 
Well done Mick, awesome work! The music gets me so hyped beyond any kind of feels! I can't wait to hear Sabrewulf's and Orchid's theme.
