當年街機好似旺角落地下有得玩.

冇記錯當年街機板的性能係勁過當時一般街機好多, 同埋用左當年仲係好新鮮的CG效果...... 超任版畫面都係勁過其他同年代超任game. 不過當年我玩慣街霸, 呢隻ki個玩法唔同, 真係完全唔覺好玩. 照睇段片, 新呢隻都有用番當年果種combo打法.

任記都係咁樣用RARE。

呢隻點睇都係REBOOT。

當年係好似Donkey Kong咁CG扮real time的嗎?
果隻好似係同N64咁上下的底板.
selling point就真係畫面靚同60, 70hit combos咁, 要一下一下按到出來打到咁多下combo又真係有成功感既.

Killer Instinct reboot is free-to-play, only one character is free
http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/11/kill...acter-is-free/

Killer Instinct is getting a reboot on Xbox One, courtesy of Double Helix Games . Good news: it’s free-to-play. Potential bad news: you have to pay for every character, except Jago.

Destructoid confirmed in this Killer Instinct preview, that while the fighter is free to all, you have to pay individually for new and returning characters. That’s a payment per character, but the specific cost has not been confirmed, so don’t start worrying just yet, as they could be dirt cheap.

Characters have two life bars just like in the original games, and big combos and Combo-Breakers are back. The game’s out at the Xbox One launch.

得一個會唔會孤寒得滯.. 雖然未知每個人比幾多，我都有興趣想知道DOA5U, Tekken R, KI三隻games收費比較。

Killer Instinct to launch alongside Xbox One

by Ludwig Kietzmann (3 hours ago)

Microsoft's revival of Rare's fighting series, Killer Instinct, will be a launch game for the Xbox One. Microsoft Studios head Phil Spencer told me Killer Instinct is "being overseen by people who are really core to that franchise," and suggested the developer, Double Helix Games, was getting a "bad rap" for its recent history of movie-licensed games.

"I think the developer is getting a little bad rap around this game," Spencer said. "We found a developer who really cares about the game. They're building a great game at 60 frames per second."

Though it seems to have coalesced into a real product made purely from recurring internet wishes, Killer Instinct is practically seen as an ambassador for Xbox One's improvements to online matchmaking. "Obviously, multiplayer is pretty core to what the game is right now, but when you think about asynchronous matchmaking, and I don't know if it really came across [during Microsoft's media briefing], but while you're playing your match, your next fight is being set up. So, you're literally just carousel-ing from fight to fight. A fighting game, given its round-based nature and how long the rounds are, is a great opportunity to showcase the asynchronous matchmaking."

Of course, that isn't to say Twitter had no participation in the matter. "And then, yes, my Twitter feed is always lit up with, you know, there are a few games - Crackdown being one, Killer Instinct being another. When are you going to do this game? Everyone thought there was going to be a Kameo 2, or ... I don't get a lot of Brute Force 2."

Mad Catz Tournament Edition 2 FightStick for Xbox One is customizable, out this fall

by Jordan Mallory (3 hours ago)

Mad Catz has a brand-spankin-new arcade stick to go along with Microsoft's brand-spankin-new Xbox One: the Tournament Edition 2 FightStick. At first glance, it may look like nothing more than a slightly flashier version of the existing models, but beyond the fact that it comes equipped with the same Sanwa Denshi parts, the TE2 is a whole new beast.

The case opens on a hinge, to start with. Pressing the Mad Catz logo on the front of the unit releases a latch that grants access to the internals of the stick, which has been designed so that nearly every piece of the thing can be replaced or customized with the user's choice of buttons, micro-switches, LED mods or what-have-you. There's even compartments for extra buttons and an on-board screwdriver for removing the mounting bracket that holds the buttons and stick.

We weren't allowed to photograph the inside of the stick as its design isn't finalized, but we're told the final version will also contain storage for spare joysticks and the TE2's detachable cable, which will be sold in varying lengths. What we did see, however, was the stock LED lighting effects under the buttons and on the side panels. The stick is also designed in such a way that the artwork can be replaced without having to remove the joystick or buttons.

Mad Catz was unable to comment on whether replacement side panels will be sold, or if replacement plexiglass inserts will be available for people that prefer different button layouts. The Tournament Edition 2 FightStick will be available alongside the Xbox One at launch, though its price point has yet to be announced.

一隻格局上完全抄「Mortal Kombat」的遊戲（但奇就奇在，原mk既製作公司midway係有幫手的，可能係街機版發行。），仲要係當年試技術的，當年，九三/四年，硬件突飛猛進，任天堂同世嘉就發展唔同既新技術，世嘉就選左多邊形，而任天堂就選左用電腦動畫先製角色（動作），背景，再貼圖既方法，放番入遊戲裡，即上面都有講既Donkey Kong同埋而家既Killer Instinct。所以咁樣做遊戲，係可以繞過超任本身既機能，所以DK係靚好多，其實個方法好聰明。

而當時多邊形未好勁時，仲起晒角時，lee個方法又唔錯的，起碼之後「發揚光大」左就出現有bio同ff7果類遊戲，而更家重要既係，在當時ps1年代，的確lee個方法頂到一個時代！！（所以，可以話，新力唔單止再任天堂既江山直接過戶，連任天堂既做法都「偷」埋，BIO同FF789就成就左PS1）

How Killer Instinct uses Kinect to make local multiplayer fuss-free

Uses face recognition to auto-load button settings, fave characters

Microsoft Studios creative director Adam Isgreen has been banging on about how awesome Kinect is, very much in the vein of a man who works for Microsoft. According to Isgree, the game will use the sensor's face recognition feature to automatically load a bunch of settings the second you pick up the pad during local tournament play. This sounds rather... cool?

"We want to have features to set up tournaments with your friends," he told IGN at Evo 2013, as transcribed by Eurogamer. "Say there are eight of you and you just start sitting down. I know a lot of people are like, ah, the Kinect camera in the room, I'm scared!

"But the coolness of being able to sit down, the controller pairs itself to you when you pick it up. It knows your buttons. It knows how you like to play. It knows what characters you want to play. You can just say Start, and go. It knows who you are in the tournament bracket, so it will just automatically do the matches correctly."


The game will even remember which characters you generally favour. "If you have a character you love, it might primary select that character already. Your buttons are already configured based on you picking up that controller. It knows it's you, so it can do the leaderboards correctly.

"All that's possible on Xbox One - mid-fight, too. So, here, you play, you give me your controller, it reconfigures it to me. "

Aoife reported at length on Evo 2013 earlier in the week. I'm going to go out on a limb, and say she'll find the above to be very pleasant reading.

"There are a lot of neat features we can start to do that you can't do right now," Isgreen continued. "We can't do that without having those kind of things built into the box. That's one of the reasons we've kept them in. There is a lot of really cool stuff coming for it. Those are the kind of features we want to uphold for tournaments, online or offline. It's going to be a big push for us."



Killer Instinct will be sold as a free-to-play title supported by character micro-transactions, with a single character unlocked to begin with - you'll still be able to fight other characters without paying to unlock them, but you won't be able to play as those characters. The returning combatants we know about are Jago, Sabrewulf and Glacius, with the strong suggestion of a Chief Thunder reveal shortly.

呢個應該係KINECT固有功能示範作品，展示點用KINECT去做PERSONALIZATION，俾其他廠作參考吧。

Killer Instinct Classic includes two arcade revisions, only available in KI Ultra Edition

by Danny Cowan (8 minutes ago)

The DLC-bundled Ultra Edition of Microsoft's upcoming Killer Instinct reboot for the Xbox One will feature two versions of Rare's 1994 arcade Killer Instinct, Siliconera reports.

Producer Torin Retting revealed that Killer Instinct Classic will feature both the original arcade version (v1.4) and the upgraded ROM revision 1.5D, which fixes a number of glitches and infinite combos discovered after the game's initial release. The port will also feature CRT-emulating scanline options, a training mode, and sprite galleries.

Retting additionally notes that Killer Instinct Classic will only be included in Killer Instinct's Ultra Edition and boxed Pin Ultimate Edition, and will not be sold separately.
