Dammit people quoting the gif. Now i got a consistent boner.
The CGI render of Jago in the Killer Instinct booklet was the most impressed I ever was by visuals. I couldn't imagine games ever looking that good.
Might be this
I always hear people saying get NRS to make a new KI, maybe Im being pessimistic but that just sounds awful to me. Let them stick to MK.
ReXXXSoprano, I did say it would be nice if it were optional. No need to not offer the original game version balance, but a hardcore fan or two bringing a list of changes and working with someone to alter values and attributes wouldn't be too expensive (if it were that simple), I'd think. Just releasing the game in some HD- and internet play-friendly fashion would fine enough, but it would be nice to see new, much-appreciated options for the most guaranteed part of your sales, the established fanbase.
If the KIs are re-released it'll be literal minutes before awful, broken shit is uploaded to Youtube. And people will screech about how terrible they are and how lazy whoever ported them is, and how much better their favourite fighter franchise is. But that's what they are, They're a product of their time, their place. As far as I'm concerned they're absolutely fine.
There's one more animated gif of that Orchid cosplayer, but it's a little NSFW.
But here is a link to it!

And that's what lead to them making almost everything in KI2 safe so you could poke all day with everyone.
The game I really want to see a sequel for is Weapon Lord. I wish Namco would give SC a rest and go back to this because the first game had awesome characters and a promising system.
Not sure if I understand your question, are you asking who I would pick to make KI3? TBH its hard for me to imagine anyone other than Kevin Bayless/Mark Betteridge/Stamper bros etc making a KI3. And since the chances of them getting back together with MS and putting a full on effort into a new game are worse than me scoring with that Orchid cosplayer its really not worth talking about. :[I'm just going to put some names out there and ask what grabs you and why? Rare, Namco, Dimps, Capcom, SNK, NRS, Arc Systems Works, Team Ninja, SCE Superbot, SSM, Sega-AM2, Platinum.
Original music from the arcade version is superior, sorry.
Best character select music ever.

That thread almost got closed.
On topic, I would be ok with NRS rebooting it.
Some people there have said they wanted to make a KI game, but I doubt WB would let them make a game exclusive to one platform, unless MS put up some serious cash.
One weird thing about anyone that isn't Rare doing it though is the roster, KI only has like what 15 characters? That's kind of low for a fighting game these days, do the new devs introduce new characters? Would people be cool with that?
nm you edited.I hope that that isn't the same Kevin that wanted to turn KI into a RPG.
No worries.I've learned lots from your post about the some of the original designers attached to the game. Sorry if I come off as confrontational that was not my intent.
Is this supposed to be some type of argument? WTF does that have to do with his capabilities in making a new KI, dumb idea or not. Even if I take you seriously, you suggested Ed Boon take over a new KI, well he was behind MK Mythologies/Konquest Mode in MK etc. so youre contradicting yourself.
I dunno, the arcade I regularly went to KI was the game everyone was crowded around for hours. I remember waiting for at least 30 minutes just to get my damn turn. Waaaay more than SSFII/MK/VF etc.
I've played it in arcades as recently as last year. For me, it holds up better than the original SFII does, mainly because the characters don't move like feathers in soup.

Yeah the causal appeal is what got people hooked, the graphics/sound didnt hurt either. And yeah they never should have removed the announcer. With KI2 I think they tried to make the game more conducive to high level play, removing the "wait for your opponent to use an opener, block it, yay free hits every single time" was necessary but they also removed the fun in the process. And how do you take out Cinder and Chief Thunder, but add Maya and Kim Wu? Tusk was cool.At my local arcade it was by far the most popular game when it was out. I know they had to routinely empty the machine of tokens. The great thing about KI was the combo system was great for casual players. Once you learned the basics of the combo system it was very easy to pull off nice combo's.
Why did the take out the voice overs for combo's in KI2? The game felt so empty without the announcer screaming every combo in KI2.
Nostalgia blast! Man, I remember when this game dominated arcade floors. I trained for hours on my SNES to be able to pull off Jago's 12-hit combo consistently or Orchid's infinite loop. That said, I'm dubious about bringing this property back. It has its place in history, but I don't think the gameplay's gonna hold up.
Happy that this thread exists, though.
Guilty.So after the gif was posted did anyone else stop reading and just start scrolling hoping for more?
I'd buy that for ten dollars. The two arcade games never got a proper home port- KI Gold for the N74 was close, but it was missing the ending cinematics, IIRC. Maybe a few other things, too.Bet 4J is remaking the games for XBLA. A pack of all of them.
Glacius for life.
Killer Instinct skins for Minecraft incoming. Yes.
IIRC, Jago and Orchid were revealed to be brother and sister in the second game.Jago Wins. Supreme Victory.

I'm in the same boat. Never understood the hype for it.
