2005-05-24 10:37:12: Written by DM

Banjo Kazooie and a Killer Instinct sequel are all in the works according to Rare. Xbox evolved spoke with Rare at E3, and they talked about the plans for the near future, and even mentioned a Kameo sequel already. Killer Instinct, that brings back the memories.

Another interesting bit of information that will have millions of gamers cheering for sure, is the news of a "Killer Instinct 3", the follow-up to Rareware's fighing games "Killer Instinct","Killer Instinct 2", and "Killer Instinct Gold". According to the employees, a hint was supposed to first be shown in a Killer Instinct arcade machine hidden in "Grabbed by the Ghoulies"..

the link on that webpage has a link to the actual story, however the link on the webpage isn't working! anyone else have another link to it? i have been HOPING FOREVER that there would be a killer instinct 3. I even own a KI2 cabinet and have KI1 and KI2 boards for it..

This is definitely great news for me

SWEET dude.

I never really had the chance to play KI. I had a friend who had it on the SNES and he could do the 47hit combo of that women with the green outfit.

The SNES version was nothing like the high res and solid arcade machine though.

lol, no fvcking way...I loved that game, as repetitious as it was. I just loved the combo system and how different it was from traditional Capcom/SNK games...and now look at them.

 

[Koing]

Definately the look was different but man I love SF

purbeast0 that is a sweet cabinet :thumbsup: how much did you pay for it?

Koing

 

[purbeast0]

haha evil tell me about it. KI was the first game to keep track of combos, and now pretty much every game has a combo counter in the game (well not all, but many of them do). the combos were so outrageous and the graphics looked so awesome at the time.

KI1 > KI2 by far IMO. i even wrote rare a letter one time asking them if they were going to make a ki3 game and they replied there are no plans at all. that was more than 5 years ago ...

and now look at it

<--- guaranteed to buy xbox360 on release date

to your SF comment ...

SF2TURBO > SF*

I play SF:AC on xbox live still, but i only play the SF2 version, not SF3.

I got a HELL of a deal on that cabinet years ago. I paid $300 for the cabinet w/KI2 game in it. I later picked up KI1 PCB/HD kit for $125 shipped from some dude off the internet.

the cabinet is like in flawless condition, the monitor is working great and is 25". i really just need to clean up the controls and maybe get some new parts sooner or later because the joystick and buttons are kind of beat, but I can get those cheap from happ.

killer instinct really revolutionized combo systems in fighting games.

 

[Koing]

Hmmm...I'm sure MK1 had a combo counter? MKII did I think or at least had a % and a combo counter. But what came out first?

The original KI arcade was sooooo fvcking awesome. The combos and finishing moves are ridiculously cool.

nope, mk1 AND mk2 didn't have a combo counter OR percentages ... i also have those for my cabinet .

the combo counter/percentages started w/MK3.

i only have KI1, KI2, MK1, and MK2 for my cabinet.

EDIT: i know KI1 came out before MK2, but i'm not sure if MK1 or KI1 came out first ... check out klov to be certian.

EDIT2: looks like i stand corrected, MK2 and MK1 came out first.

SF for me just means Street Fighter in general.

SF2Turbo was DEFINATELY better then SFII! SFII feels SO slow when you have played SF2Turbo for a while. The characters seem to 'float' in mid air for ages before landing.

Never really played SF3. I use to play a lot of SFAlpa2 though. I have CvS2 on my PS2 though

The 3d SF game was trash. Really didn't look any goood and just didn't play the same.

I played some SFAlpha2 in the arcades with this random chinese guy and dam it was SO FUN.

Can't wait until PS3 and a SF game is online or when a they release the SF for the PSP

Tekken and GT online is going to be THE BEST along with SF.

I see.

I think they must have added it in for the MK Trilogoy for the PSX? Maybe not, can't remember those games too well.

I miss the MK button bashing to break the various stones

[phreakah]

is killer instinct the one where they go "c-c-c-c-c-combo breakerrrr" ??

 

[purbeast0]

i've been tired of tekken ever since tekken 3. since then, they all just seem like "expansions" w/some new graphics and nothing more. i had a little fun w/tekken tag, but tekken 4 and tekken 5 don't do anything for me.

doesn't mean i can't still kick ass in them though ...

as well as "UUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA CCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

 

[purbeast0]

oh and i was wrong above, MK2 came out before KI1 as well.

 

[Platypus]

I liked the skeleton with the viking sword/shield and the fire type fellow, I think it was 'Cinder' if memory serves.. what a fun game that was.

Spinal is the skeleton guy, he was actually one of my worst guys to play as though, and Cinder is probably tied w/Raptor as my 2nd worst guys.

It's been so long I only remember what they look like now. Who were you good with (along with what they looked like )

 

[purbeast0]

my best is Combo (the black boxer). I also can kick ass w/Glacius (the ice dude), Orchid (the hot green clothed janet jackson look alike chick), Fulgore (the metal robot dude), Jago (the "Ryu" of the game), Sabrewulf (the werewolf). My not so great guys were Cinder, Spinal, and Riptor. Riptor was just kind of weak in general IMO.

Oh yea, also Chief Thunder, the indian ... he was not that great to play with for me either.

BS. Your just weak with your T5 game

T3 was sweet. TTT was sweet. T4 was poor. Didn't like the different heights of the floor and they screwed with Jins EWGF!!!

But yeah what can they to the Tekken series? T5 was back to the roots

Koing

 

[rsd]

Oh god I HATED this game with a passion. I refused to try to memorize all the combos, and basically it was impossible to beat someone if you didn't know them and they did. HATED IT.

thats the thing ... nothing has changed at all since basically T2 even. I can still kick the crap out of people that I used to be good with by doing the same exact techniques. It just feels like the same exact game to me w/more characters + better graphics. i still hate that stupid spark when you hit someone, as well as the sound in the game (the actual hits) is pretty weak IMO.

 

[Koing]

But the really poor thing is I really don't spend time in the arcade using the arcade sticks, so as a result I can't do the D,DF, F+1 type of moves well which basically kills my SF and Tekken game I have been getting better as I have been playing more in the arcades. Well not recently but a few months ago (exams dam it!).

Going to get an arcade stick BUT then the dam PS3 doesn't have the PS2 ports but they should bring out a PS2 to USB that would work with the PS2 right? It would suck if I bought one and it doesn't. I know the PC has the PS2 to USB ports.

For the longest time I was convinced KI had some sweet 3D graphics. But recently on closer inspection on an emulator, it seems to be sprites.
