KILLER INSTINCT - Spinal trailer - FULGORE TEASE

Looks like I'll be putting a little more into the 'Get Xbox One' fund. This shit looks so awesome. I can't believe I'm considering buying a $500 console for one game. (at the moment) I really want to hold off for a price drop, but DAMN. SHIT LOOKS SO GOOD!

Granted, they haven't put my boy Cinder in yet so maybe I can hold off until season 2 when he will inevitably show up.

I love fighting games... I've played a majority of them (take a look at my history, gamertag: EteRnal PAL), Street Fighter series, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, MvC series, DOA series, etc. And I'm not bullshitting you when I say this but this newest Killer Instinct is one of the best fighting games I've ever played. The balance, the mind games, the super varied characters, the combos, the rockin music and super hyped announcer... everything about it. I'm blown away that Double Helix, of all companies, made this.
 
You can bet money on Combo, and odds are good on Cinder. I'd hope the rest are either 1.new 2. are greatly redesigned/reimagined like Thunder and Glacius. (I mean, Kim was awful!) Actually, I hope Cinder and Combo would be greatly redesigned. Combo's design kinda stinks, lol. Who wears gloves to mortal combat?

In KI2 he rocks tape wrapped around his fists. In this picture it's hard to tell but you can see it in gameplay/other renders.

I really hope each character gets their KI1 costume AND their KI2 costume. Some of them are so different from each other that you can't just choose one. And even the ones that aren't should still be in.

Dude, don't tell me that! I'm trying to wait for an Xbox price drop over here! Damn! I want to play so bad! Not a single one of my friends got an Xbox so I can't even try the free version. Curses!

Hahahah, just spreading the truth my man.

You don't happen to live in southern California do you? If so, I'll invite you over to try it out for yourself lol
 
Does anyone know if someone buys KI when Spinal is already out, will Spinal be in that version or is he a separate download? And if existing owners will just get an update to their KI or need to get him from the marketplace?

Should be part of the game. Spinal is coming with a patch.

Updates on XB1 seem to work like this:

New purchasers download base game. After starting base game, necessary patches (normally jus the lastest ones) are applied. This is how it worked for me when I purchased Powerstar Golf on sale.

Existing owners will probably get a patch. He shouldn't be available on the in-game marketplace at all, as having him directly available to owners, and buyable separately later on, is one of the perks of purchasing the full game outright.
 
Its all true...the game is a top tier fighter.
This can't be stressed enough. I don't care for MS, Double Helix, Rare, or the system itself...but I ate crow the moment I played this game. I thought it was going to be subpar, and I was horrifically wrong. The game is as legit as a top tier fighter can be. They fucking nailed everything.
 
No separate download.

The artbook would seem to show her KI2 costume was the original classic costume and either it was denied by MS or they decided to hold it off till season 2.
 
Dat motherfuckin' Fulgore tease made me tip my entire computer desk over with how hard I got.

This game is literally the only thing I am interested in for the Xbox One, but by GOD does it look amazing.
 
Agreed 1000% What a great trailer. KI deserves a bigger audience.

Well, if they can make it to season 3, then they can release the game on disc and have zero complaints about content or quality (if they can keep it up)

Once they get 24 characters/stages, story and arcade mode, lobbies, challenge mode (they have said they hope to do this), tournament mode... KI point betting (another thing they mentioned) No mercy/stage enders....

This game will eventually have everything going for it....

Still far and away the most appealing game to me across the entire released Xbox One / PlayStation 4 library. I couldn't give a fuck about the Xbox One but I want this game so, so badly.

Tell me about it. No console game interests me in the slightest bit except for KI (which interests me a wholllllle lot). But it is not enough to make me get xb1...

Why did I think he had gloves?

Furthermore, why would Orchid wear a thong to fight in? lol Of course, when I was 10 and KI2 came out, I didn't ask too many questions. I was happy to suspend disbelief.

#SpinalMusicFacts: Spinal's new theme was a global effort that combined the talents of 20 people across 5 countries over 3 months.

#SpinalMusicFacts: The "Spinal Choir" consisted of 13 men singing in Swedish in Gothenburg. The lyrics were written by @PontusRufelt & me.

#SpinalMusicFacts: The choir is pretending to be warriors who are attempting to summon Spinal to aid them in a foreboding battle.

It sure sounds great.

edit: damn!

#SpinalMusicFacts: Lastly, the "horn" sound you hear over the 'Ready' text is the sound of a Tibetan Kangling, a human leg bone flute.
