For me, it was a lot of work to push through the first 4 chapters. I think it was the 5th chapter where the story picked up and it all started coming together. Really enjoyed the 2nd half, which I guess is why I am so pumped over those new AC pics. :y:

It's pretty neat. The dpad twists and the little dial or whatever descends into the controller which makes the dpad a little bit more accurate. I'll put it to the test next week with SFXT

That's how my Gears 3 controller is. Couldn't figure out what it did for a few weeks until I looked online.

Well, it is the best colour.

I just want you all to know how excited I will be when the new Assassins Creed comes out, and that I will be buying Iop a facial merkin.

I think AC3 could probably get it's own thread now.

Don't ask D Mac to do it, might end up in Wrestling Q&A.

Take the news with a grain of salt but the next issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has been rumored to be teasing the debut of a new Killer Instinct game.

The game is being teased as a reboot game with no other details nor status on if Rare is actually making the game or if a different developer is working on the game similar to what was done with the XBLA version of Perfect Dark.

Quote:

"A World Exclusive: A Killer Sequel - Must-read Details on Truly Spectacular Reboot". Other information that now seems to be deleted(?) and/or may have leaked is something that was apparently written on a blog via "OXM", "The announcement of a killer sequel, the first must-see details on the return of a franchise really spectacular".
The potential game also could just end up as just either the original KI game or KI Gold being added as an Xbox Live Arcade game.

The next issue of OXM is expected to go on sale on March 21.

Whether its KI1 and/or 2 coming to XBLA or a whole new KI, I'm interested.

Wonder if it'll live up to my nostalgia.

Kalyx triaD 03-02-2012 09:57 PM

Don't think it'll live up, better to reboot it. Then again, an XBLA release makes sense to gauge the consumer.

Captain of Fun 03-02-2012 10:25 PM

I don't see Killer Instinct being able to hang with modern fighters from a technical standpoint. At least not without changing much of what makes it Killer Instinct.

It could do well financially due to western popularity, in the same way Mortal Kombat was successful, but I don't see it being taken that seriously by fighting game fans.

Emperor Smeat 03-02-2012 10:57 PM

Considering KI was more related in style and gameplay to Mortal Kombat, if MK could do a good reboot, then KI could easily.

The bigger question involves who would be developing a potential game considering the current Rare has no desire nor remote experience in making a fighting game. Microsoft's other choice is to hire a different studio to work on the game like what was done with Perfect Dark on XBLA.

If they do release KI for Ecks Blah, I'll definitely try it. I think I still have muscle memory for all the combos. If there's a new KI, they had better release a demo, because I am NOT buying on faith.

Oh for sure, KI definitely would appeal more to western audiences than most fighting games. I was just talking about the tournament scene.

#BROKEN Hasney 03-03-2012 02:40 AM

I bet after that speculation, it's just Ninja Gaiden.

KI1/2 arcade versions do hold up. If you've got MAME, give it a play.

Blitz 03-03-2012 02:42 AM

I swear I'm the only fighting game fan in the world who could not give a shit about Killer Instinct.

Kalyx triaD 03-03-2012 04:04 AM

Had a cool style, but it has a lot of catching up to do.

Captain of Fun 03-03-2012 09:19 AM

I had it for N64 back in the day, but it's a different time now, and it's not really the type of gameplay fighting game fans are looking for.

Despite all the improvements the recent mortal kombat made, it still had stiff, rigid dial-a-combos. KI has always been similar in that regard.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to release a new one though. As I said, the casual audience would probably eat it up.

You mean a game series whose last release spans back almost twenty years won't be on par with the competition?

But only if it's brown, first person, and has Team Deathmatch.

As far as gameplay, which actually changes very little in the genre, yes - they have catching up to do. Sensationalist auto-combos probably won't fly and they will need a new/updated metagame. Being that it was 2D, people are much more educated about how a 2D game should work (controlling space, safe/unsafe attacks, etc) and that wasn't a big deal for KI back then.

KI has style, cool characters, and it found a place between SF and MK back in the day. But it has a lot more comp now, and now's not the time to expect Orchid's double Ds and dial-an-Ultra Combos to carve out a place. They have catching up to do. There are a few fighting games/systems that came out in KI's time that are still very playable today.

Drakul 03-03-2012 04:23 PM

New Forza game has leaked. Forza Horizon is due out in Fall/Autumn this year.

Thinking the new KI, if OXM is refering to KI, will be revealed on Monday.

#BROKEN Hasney 03-03-2012 04:28 PM

Won't be buying a new Forza this year, that's way too soon.

Drakul 03-03-2012 04:29 PM

They have a short teaser but it's just video, not game footage. I read someone suggest it might be a spin off cross country/rally game. I think that sounds possible.

The footage shows desert etc and the name "horizon" does suggest long distance driving to me.

A spinoff sounds right. 1 year after release is way too soon for a game of that "magnitude".

From eventhubs.com

Quote:

Citing an unnamed source, so take this with a grain of salt, but GamesBeat is reporting that Darkstalkers 4 is in the works with Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono at the helm.

Apparently, their source for this information shared details about Resident Evil 6 before it was announced — which ended up holding water. This same source shared details about Darkstalkers 4, including: • The game will use a modified version of the Street Fighter X Tekken engine.

• The title has been in the works since last year.

• Principal development of SFxT was complete towards the end of 2011, which is when Ono is said to have shifted his focus to Darkstalkers 4.

A few weeks back, Capcom also renewed their Darkstalkers trademark, although the last time the company took this action in 2004, it was to prepare Darkstalkers Chronicle on the PSP.

This is still an unconfirmed rumor at this point, so you might want to temper your excitement, but this is potentially good news for Darkstalkers fans.
Killer Instinct can suck a dick. I want me some Darkstalkers.

Kalyx triaD 03-03-2012 11:58 PM

This is likely. I thought SFxT was on the SF4 engine, didn't think they started from scratch as far as the system goes. I guess the SF4 models and certain animations were the only crossovers.

Funky Fly 03-04-2012 12:30 PM

Not necessarily. The sfxt engine could simply be a new version of the same engine. Like if I were going to make an AKI wrestling game, I'd modify No Mercy and work from there as opposed to fucking with the original and still having to create a ton of modules that would otherwise already exist and only require minor modification
