Gonna play it?
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

Hard to argue with that, Spinal and Sabrewulf's would be up there for me as well

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...

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?

... the game is regularly being flung for 5$/€ and now they ask
almost 40$ for it - get fucked lol ... wouldn't even pirate

I'd never heard about it being that cheap, other than season 1 on xbone

"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

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

pfffffffffffffff, I don't play a game unless they pay ME to play

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.

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

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

That's perfectly fair, fighting games are always fairly niche
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.

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.
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).

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
