Would of been nice to have a free version, but guess microsoft wanted there to be some reason to still go to them.
Love that the soundtrack has lots of nods to the old games

yes, downloaded all 3 soundtrack seasons a few months ago πΈπ

HOLY MOLY !!! This is one of the first fighting games I played ever when I was 8 years old and only now I found out that it's Killer Instinct because of your gif !! We had a console of some sorts in our daycare and I still remember me and my friends slide attacking each other to death with the skeleton guy ("Spinal" it seems). And an girl who did cartwheels (orchid it seems). Insta whitelisted for being the reason of me finding out the name of the game <3 <3

I found the info that it's apparently free2play on Windows 10 store, with 1 character unlocked in weekly rotation. Steam edition is more like "complete/premium" experience. But again... didn't have SNES, never got into the series, will maybe try it if I find it discounted next year...

I played them when I was a kid and liked them. My backlog is too big to justify a $40 game right now for nostalgia's sake, though. :X

$40?? Plus there is some bullshit about purchasable in-game items. Seriously?? GTFO
Comment has been collapsed.
The ki gold is only used to shortcut the level up feature for characters, which is how you unlock colours. Not defending it, but its not really bullshit

Does it come with all the extra characters they've been releasing over the years, or are they sold separately?
Comment has been collapsed.
... the game is regularly being flung for 5$/β¬ and now they ask
almost 40$ for it - get fucked lol ... wouldn't even pirate

I'd never heard about it being that cheap, other than season 1 on xbone
Comment has been collapsed.
"Killer Instinct Combo Breaker Pack" XBO retail - seen it just a few days ago for 5 instead of the regular 10 bucks
... but there's also "Killer Instinct: Definitive Edition" XBO retail selling for a regular 20 bucks ...
also since when do fighters sell in seasons ... wts
Comment has been collapsed.
Cool, wish I had a xbone. Though over here, the definitive edition seems to be sold at a slightly higher price than the steam version, so it's possibly not universally cheaper. Anyway, cheers for the info
The whole season thing really pisses me off, basically makes it not worth buying a game for a couple years since it won't be complete. Mortal Kombat X, Street Fight V, this, and now Marvel vs Capcom infinite all did it

People bitched endlessly that it would be F2P with content as DLC
-
People now bitching endlessly that it's a paid full version including said content

Finally! This game looks amazing and I really like fighting games but never played KI games very much, so I will wait a sale comes around.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is kind of retarded that they didn't add the free version as a demo. It works really well for that purpose.
Game's also pretty solid, and at it's mid-tier pricing it's got a pretty good cast of characters avaialble too. I might have to cave in and grab a copy now.

I really liked the free model they have on the ms store, I agree it would've been nice to see
Comment has been collapsed.
maybe valve didn't allow them to do that for free since they know a lot of people would use their bandwidth and play 1 character per week xD

Links for lazy ppl that have no idea what game you're talking about pls!

Steam store link for lazy ppl
MS store link for lazy ppl
Latter is because it has more reviews etc. and the free version for those interested

Tagged with "Fighting" and "Multiplayer". All I need to know, that it's definitely not my type of game.

That's perfectly fair, fighting games are always fairly niche
Comment has been collapsed.
Niche? Really? It feels to me like they're all over, feels like there's always some new Tekken, Street Fighter, whatever... thing... featured on every games related front page. But then again, maybe that's just me ...
Comment has been collapsed.
Niche in the sense that they tend not to sell huge amounts. There is tons of them though, and some very vocal fanbases

hehe, nice thread ... and I agree with most of these keywords/tags mentioned there, though I'm much too lazy to hide giveaways most of the time. I only hide them when they clutter my recommended section. Wish we could justhide giveaways by tags. Steam offers that option for the store page, but only for 3 tags, I need more.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice ! Will get it as soon as I see a price I like :)
Anyone knows if this version includes the original KI 1 and 2?
Comment has been collapsed.
No, unfortunately. Only re-release was in Rare Replay on xbone, and I think that was only KI Gold
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I just was reading something the ki team put out, only the fact the Windows store version doesn't have them either makes it somewhat ok.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope this is going to make it easier, and raise interests in people porting the character models of it to Gmod. That said, cant afford it like everything else so nope, no trying this one.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hopefully it gets a decent discount in the winter sale or something. The plus side is that it has cross play so online should be strong for quite a while
Comment has been collapsed.
Already got it for free on other platforms. Doesn't look like it had KI 1 or 2 either?

Is nice to see microsoft releasing their stuff for win 7 but it's too expensive for me, specially for a series I've never played before and feel no nostalgia for (yes, I think nostalgia is at least a fourth of a fighting game appeal nowadays).
Comment has been collapsed.
Kind of came out of nowhere, for me at least. Knew the steam version was in the works, but was expected to hear about the release date in advance.
Anyway, really happy to see it out, and the price is really good since it is supposed to have all content
