AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Oh wow. You can have Killer Instinct. Sorry KI fans At least the Wolf is free (?)

 

[Teletraan1]

Just let it happen, it'll be over soon.

Edit: Beaten. No, I don't like this.

 

[eXistor]

Wow, good one MS. How misguided are they?

 

[Heart Attack]

If Halo 5 turns out to be shit its all over for Microsoft.

Way too late. Halo 4 turned out to be shitty.

 

[chertipros]

Just embrace it. It'll all be over soon

 

[2+2=5]

What? Only 1 fighter? Trololol

 

[zainetor]

everyone saying rubbish before trying the thing, because is f2p!!!111!
All I care about is gameplay. If it's good and characters are cheap to buy, I will try it out on pc, if it ever comes out.

 

[Eusis]

For fuck's sake, I considered this too absurd to be anything but a joke, and then it's for real anyway?

Though I guess it's more like a demo, and you get the option of paying $20-40 to unlock the rest if you don't want to do it piecemeal. Still, not how I'd want to see a fighter handled, so just another reason to want this whole thing to blow up in their face.

 

[CoG]

You had one job Microsoft!

 

[Nemesis121]

Only MS can fuck this up...

 

[Rolodzeo]

wat ._.

Microsoft is trying really hard to make the Xbone the worst gaming platform of all time.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

1 fighter huh? Not grinding for fighters.

 

[kinggroin]

So as far as actual gameplay reveals, that leaves Forza, Crimson Dragon, and Titanfall as the good xbone exclusives?

Wonder how those will be screwed up?

 

[Satchel]

Pricing will make or break this decision.

 

[boyshine]

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

More like D-D-D-D-DEAL BREAKER

And I bet every returning character has a broken remix of their original theme. I wonder if they even try to add new characters. Nah who cares, not buying One regardless.

How would people feel if Killer Instinct was F2P? I wonder...

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=62327077&postcount=6379

You are forgetting the Free to Play Killer Instinct title .

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=62344899&postcount=281

Are we ready for a F2P Killer Instinct ?

 

[Mr Touchdown]

Wow what!?

At least Tekken:R and DOA5:U give you like a roster of characters.

1 character at the start? Why the hell even bother then?

Fighting games are built on the foundation of learning a character, but you need to learn what other characters can do against you in order to be any good after that. Just release a full game dammit.

 

[nubbe]

How can a platform holder make gaming so appalling?

 

[DominoKid]

Killer Instinct F2P: A lesson in hustling backwards.

 

[Row]

As if griefing wasnt bad enough in online fighting games

 

[Raxus]

Pricing will make or break this decision.

500 Bucks + 60 Bucks (XBL) + ????

This deal is getting worse all the time.

 

[Jethro]

Thank you for ripping off the legacy of this Franchise...

 

[LeleSocho]

wow... i'm without words.

 

[Plinko]

Thought so--I brought this up in the thread yesterday but wasn't 100% sure.

 

[Strike]

This is just sad and they only have themselves to blame.

 

[Heart Attack]

So as far as actual gameplay reveals, that leaves Forza, Crimson Dragon, and Titanfall as the good xbone exclusives?

Crimson Dragon was an xbox 360 downloadable game for kinect. I don't expect it to be awesome all of a sudden.

Titanfall will be coming to PS4. It's an EA game, and no game published by EA has remained exclusive to one console.

 

[Black Mantis]

This is a good idea of doing fighting games imo. I only ever use a handful of characters (Virtua Fighter excluded, as I love them all), and if I can pay less for the characters I want and have all the traditional fighting game features, I don't see the harm in it. As long as we're able to fight against characters we haven't purchased, it's a good thing.

 

[Demon Ice]

Ahahahaha

Everybody online is gonna be the same character. Bring a friend over and make them pay to unlock the character of their choice.

What a carnival of stupid.

 

[Seance]

Bahahaha, I can imagine the online at launch. Everybody is the same character.

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T WE JUST GO BACK TO THAT ONCE UPON TIME OF PAYING A GAME AND HAVING ALL OF IT'S FEATURES ON THE DISK.

This is just ridiculous. Pay for the fighter, pay for the outfits, pay for the arena's. What the fuck is this? This isn't video games, a passion I love so dearly. It's a fucking business transaction simulator.

If this is the future of video games, than I'm done with them.

 

[manueldelalas]

Can you choose your free character?

i saw you posting this,but i thought you were joking.

 

[StevePharma]

WE LISTENED GUYS !

 

[Sigismundo]

So, Max.

Guess you won't be buying an Xbone?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Titanfall will be coming to PS4. It's an EA game, and no game published by EA has remained exclusive to one console.

It's also already announced for PC, probably day and date with Xboned release.

 

[thuway]

i saw you posting this,but i thought you were joking.

I had only one source tell me, the second was willing to commit. However, add this one to the thuway credibility rumor thread.

I was also RIGHT about a pay wall being there but no DRM -_-.
I got lynched for that too. Ya'll hate on the bird too much.

 

[Vexxan]

So they brought back KI only to kill it again, way to go M$.

Prepare for some mirror matches on launch day!

 

[Des0lar]

I understand what makes f2p games work.

Yes/No

Do I need to spell out what MS circled?

 

[Tannequy]

 

[Sickbean]

Why do you hate my childhood so much Microsoft?

 

[SgtCobra]

Nooooo... This was one of my most anticipated titles for the Xbone..

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Crapcom must be fuming that they didn't thought of this first.

 

[Mailenstein]

Wow, Microsoft is pulling a clusterfuck here. My god.

 

[Busty]

Once again RARE fans have a black eye to explain away to the neighbours.

Time and again MS keep fucking them over and time and again they keep coming back for more.

Baffling isn't the word.

 

[Ashes]

I wonder how many characters you can get for $60...

 

[Busty]

I wonder how many characters you can get for $60...

Two and a Half Men.

I hate all that stuff too, but this is free and so far we only know that we have to pay for characters. If they make you have to pay for all the other things as well, then fair enough (depending on how much they charge). I just think it was a risky decision to bring this IP back (It's not what I'd call a top tier fighter) and launching it as a F2P, may be a better way of re-introducing it.

 

[Kincaido]

It's already bad enough that it's on Xbone

 

[Trojita]

I didn't think they'd actually attempt something so dumb.

 

[jns]

As long as they don't use the same pay structure the new Marvel game uses, I'll buy all the characters and have fun playing the game.

I hope they make the F2P character Spinal just to kick sand in the face of the cheapskates.
