Really looking forward to trying it! I'll probably try the free PC version before I drop any money though. I've been burned by one too many bad PC ports to do any pre-ordering. Very curious how the netcode and crossplay is on the PC version.

The good news is it can't be much worse than SFV was (is).

 

[tsab]

Nope. The reason it's cheaper is because it doesn't include the arcade games.

I don't think so. It's $60 on Xbox One because it comes with those I believe.

Edit: beaten

If you are planning on buying an Xbox One. Just buy the Xbox One version and then you'll have both. $10 more and you'll get everything you want.

Cross-buy = The Future.

Thanks for the quick reply. I want the KI Arcade Classics for XBone (to play them some day) so I may fork 60$ and buy it from Xbox Market

 

[pitchfork]

It's very popular among KI players. That sums it up pretty good I think, but I am not knowledgable about the FGC in general. It just pisses me off when people always forget about KI when they talk about fighting games, especially since SFV seems like a mess.

There was a podcast where they were hating on it's training mode, or lack tehereof. And say things like "when will fighting games get good with teaching how to play?" Uhm, hello.. KI!

I'll do my best to spread the word with me mates on Xbox!

Its an excellent fighting game!

 

[-tetsuo-]

I doubt it beats Skullgirls.

It does

 

[Justinh]

Nice. I hope to see a lot of new comers in the next several month Best fighting game ive been a part of.

And hey look, you also get Conker!!!

If only he could piss on his opponent...
(I'm totally digging that fro)


Only the Season 3 Ultra Edition for me. I paid 40 clams for both Seasons 1 and 2 Ultra eds and I don't regret it one bit, but this is great for people just buying into it on PC.

Looks like they kind of fixed Kim's Face?

[Ferrio]

I'll be snagging all 3 seasons on PC. I've always despised the KI franchise, but I figured I'd give this game an honest shot. At worst I won't like it, but atleast I'll be able to understand wtf is going on during EVO matches.

The top image is her Retro look. The bottom is what her default face looks like still albeit somewhat improved.

I don't understand the problem some people have with this not being on steam. I'm not too familiar with what people's issues are with the windows store, but as long as it allows me to buy and finally play the game, I don't see the problem.

At $50 for all the content, it's pretty much a steal too. I just hope the cross play works well on day one.

I understand people's concerns. What I would do if I were them (who have an issue with it) is just download the free version. Play it to your hearts content, you lose nothing. Wait for the platform to have features that you deem necessary and then buy it when it does. But trying out something for free and using the free version does no harm.

My opinion anyways.

The windows store is just really bad as a storefront, and many people are opposing it due to Microsoft possibly trying to replace the current standards for windows applications (Win32) with new ones that they have more control over (UWP), which the store plays into.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I'll never understand this mentality for fighting games

Me either. I mean I get wanting a physical version of the game (even if that's not my preference), but fighters, especially nowadays, are rarely ever "complete". Even in the old days, you never knew when the next incremental "Super" or "Ultimate" version was around the corner to ask you to pay full price again.

 

[Uraizen]

Don't hold your breath. I'm still waiting for Hydro Thunder Hurricane. Hell it feels like I'm the only one who even knows that got a PC port.

You're not the only one. =(

I doubt it beats Skullgirls.

You can see for yourself ... for free!

Spoiler

I think they're both as good as each other from what I've played

 

[sixteen-bit]

Any PC benchmarks yet?

Not that I'm aware of. They did release specs a while back. Pretty low all things considered.

I pray that my season 1 content I got with GwG carries over to the PC version.

It does but I think you will still need a Gold sub to have access to it? You need one on Xbox One to access that content, not sure if it would be any different for the Windows 10 version even with cross-buy

No one wants to use the W10 store because the interface is shit, the lack of support to improve a game by the consumer's own means is shit, and UWP is shit.

It's not that hard to think about and that will always be a barrier for the rest of W10's lifespan.

It's a good thing KI is like, free on PC too.

Wait, a major concern is that you can't mod games? That's it? Why not just think of it as having an Xbox One on your PC, which is how I've always looked at it? I dunno, I guess it's just hard for me to relate when these are mostly Xbox exclusives that I wouldn't get the chance to play otherwise, and hearing people say they'd rather not touch them unless they come to Steam just sounds silly.

Being UWP means that game has forced always on V-sync, cannot support mods, and a plethora of other issues.

I can understand people being upset that they lose the options they'd expect on PC, but I guess I just have trouble with the "all or nothing" approach. The game is a Microsoft exclusive and we didn't have another way to play it outside of playing on Xbox until now, and the only real restrictions with playing it on PC seem to be simulating a home console environment which I don't find too egregious when all I want to do is play KI.

[darth_infamous]

This might be the thing that makes me upgrade to win10. I'll wait to see how it shakes out first.

 

[Trey]

in.

if I buy the supreme edition, do I get seasons 1 and 2 immediately?

 

[yyr]

Damn so if I already have season 1 ultra edition, buying the supreme edition would still be cheaper than buying season 2 and 3 ultra edition separately? The fuck.

Wait for a sale. I just got s2 ultra for $13 just this past week. They go on sale from time to time...you just have to watch for it.

People don't want a console experience on PC

Yep

 

[Pejo]

Cool, I'm in for this. I've been holding off even after buying my Xbone waiting to see if cross-buy was going to happen, now I have no regrets.

Dude.

It literally says that in the title of this thread.

 

[Trey]

Dude.

It literally says that in the title of this thread.

I meant if I bought the supreme edition today, right now, would seasons 1 and 2 unlock for me today, right now, instead of March 29th. But it looks like I can't even buy the supreme edition until the 29th, any way.

 

[Jotamide]

Worse comes to worst, I have a 1 month sub lying around.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Im sure you dont understand why people want an arcade mode as well.

Thats said, I kinda dont understand why anyone wants to buy any game physical on X1 *shrugs*

 

[TheYanger]

I will be grabbing this (in spite of win10 store). I just want the whole weirdness concerning gamertag/account/win10 account stuff to be cleared. Cross-buy is confusing. As a result, and due to win 10 store in the immediate future, I will wait a bit.

I will get it in due time though!

What weirdness? Your xbox live account is tied to your windows account, you run the xbox app on win 10 and it literally just logs you into your XBL. So I guess mostly: How is crossbuy confusing at all? You buy it on your XBL account, you own it on both systems.

 

[malfcn]

Nice image.

 

[ColdMilk]

Is there a X1 marketplace link for the supreme edition or is it Windows 10 exclusive?

 

[The Flash]

Is there a X1 marketplace link for the supreme edition or is it Windows 10 exclusive?

It's for both. Supreme Edition just isn't available yet.

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

Is there a X1 marketplace link for the supreme edition or is it Windows 10 exclusive?

It will appear on the launch date I believe.

 

[Edzi]

Any X-input controller should work with this, right? I'm hoping my te2+ will be fine.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

IIRC, they mentioned on the stream that XBox360 controllers would work on PC, so that possibly means XInput. Dinput is probably less likely.

 

[ekim]

It will appear on the launch date I believe.

Today is the launch, no?

 

[DopeyFish]

Today is the launch, no?

Yes. I assume it will show up in 20 minutes.

Reason for this is that's their official time, and only the ultra edition was for preorder

 

[Cyros]

Only 360 for now, support for X1 sticks in a later patch.

 

[Bladelaw]

If I can do local multiplayer with my arcade sticks on PC and launch from hyperspin I'm sold.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Only 360 for now, support for X1 sticks in a later patch.

In a later patch, yes, but not a patch for KI.
X1 stick support is predicted on Microsoft adding proper support to Windows 10, so there's nothing that Iron Galaxy can do by themselves.

 

[FunkyLounge]

When is it going up on windows? Cant find it on the store.

10 minutes hopefully... that's when the Xbox patch officially drops.

that's the store link

Here's the link, but it's not live yet:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/games/killer-instinct/9nblggh1z149

Patch for Xbox One was supposed to roll out at 8AM PDT (came earlier for some) so maybe that's when the W10 version will go live.
