the request was denied because it conflicted with a Fox patent for some TV show with the same name
Killer Instinct was never good. People only liked it because it looked graphically impressive at the time. Bring back Jet Force Gemini instead.
Loved the original Killer Instinct in the arcade... back in the days of the "Ultra 64"
ULTRAAAAAA, ULTRAAAAA, ULTRAAAA, ULTRAAA, ultraaa, ultraa, ultra..............
Ultras were great, but Ultimate was the way to go!
The first time I pulled off an Ultimate was by accident... the voice over seemed so subtle in comparison to "Ultraaaa" but more of a brooding/evil sound.
Why do people have to be such Debbie Downers regarding Rare nowadays?
In Rare/M$ I trust.
Killer Instinct was a relic if its era. Port the two originals to XBLA and let the franchise rest.
What's wrong with the PD port? The only issues I had with it was the input lag for online Co-op.No. Keep 4J away from old Rare properties. They botched the fuck out of the Perfect Dark port.
100% chance any KI game released by MS/Rare will be a steaming turd.
I think Arcade-perfect ports on XBL would suffice.
A KI3 creation akin to the recent Mortal Kombat games would be welcome but not sure if the fanbase is there to make a profit...
Killer Instinct wasn't even that good in the glory days of Rare with all its top tier talent.Why do people have to be such Debbie Downers regarding Rare nowadays?

Its not that it wasn't that good, its more like it was terrible. A new KI would be a disaster.Killer Instinct wasn't even that good in the glory days of Rare with all its top tier talent.

Jesus, am I the only one who enjoyed the shit out of killer instinct in the arcades???!! :O
Why do I have the feeling that people posting in this thread never played the game at all when it came out? PoserGAF in full effect as usual
Killer instinct's impact in the arcade was gigantic. It made every other fighting game feel 'old' and primitive. The linups were huge and emptied the *sf2*, mk2 and neogeo cabs. It even manage to seriously take away from the thunder of the release of MK3, which THE arcade franchise at the time. VF2 was seriously hurt by it too. I remember that it came out at around the same
Fans are always bugging Ed Boon everyday about a KI vs MK game, so the franchise still has a following.
Of course the fighting engine els primitive now, but back then it was pretty damn neat. I think the lore and characters need a refresh, they REALLY REALLY smells of the '90.

SF2, KOF and Samurai Showdown was still far better than that shitty mash up of Street fighter and MK with it's "Dial a combo" crap( then MK felt the need to rip off that aspect in 3 for some reason). Don't even get me started on the awful character designs, which was a shame since for the most part at the time it had excellent graphics but Rare's art design killed it. Still many of my friends loved the game, i wasn't feeling it at all.
If KI is truly making a comeback it would need a massive overhaul for me to give a shit. Rare/MS should just handle the graphics aspects and hire someone like DIMPS to work on anything that has to do with gameplay and for the love of all that's holy hire a decent character designer!
I love the way the people feel the need to come into a thread for a game they don't care about just to tell us that they don't care about it, its so cool.
