Right on Destin, those people have no idea because they probably never played Killer Instinct. Killer Instinct was the innovator of combo fighting games. Also, what matters on what makes a fighting game take the throne is the mechanics. If they release something that destroys all fighting game mechanics and pioneers a new generation, the fighting game community will embrace it. If they reiterate what everyone else is already doing, then they will fade into oblivion. In this day and age, latency is really important. If they leverage a cloud system (XCloud) in combination with client code that ensures even latency between players, hardcore players will appreciate it.
Back when I was in grade 8 all me and my friends played was Killer Instinct on the SNES. I would spend hours and hours trying to master Orchids 48 hit ultra combo. We would stay up for hours playing versus and occasionally playing against the CPU. This game and Mortal Kombat, then a few years later Tekken, these games were a huge part of my childhood gaming. I used to go to bed listening to the KI music CD. Listening to it now it's so cheesy 😅 When KI released on the XBOX I am guilty of not playing it very much at all as I dont play fighting games much at all anymore
@@pontiffonion1824 Mk did borrow the combo breaker. I think it was in mkx...I don't remember. Their was a guage for it. They also called their ultra combos, Brutalities in Mk3/trilogy.
It surprises me how so many people cover games for a living can have such terrible takes. Killer Instinct on Xbox One was phenomenal. The only things that really hindered it's true greatness were the development cycle and the way characters were released. With that said, I played the game A LOT in the early days of the Xbox One. My ex-wife does not play or watch video games AT ALL and it was the only game she would watch me play, but she would also occasionally jump on the sticks for fun. I could never get her to do that for any other game except Killer Instinct.
There’s nothing worse than a person who has no idea what he’s talking about and to top it off being absolutely arrogant about it. It’s like saying “who need’s Silent Hill, just play Resident Evil!”
Killer instinct is no damn silent hill I get what your saying but it's definitely not that good. Mortal Kombat would be that and Re would be killer instinct not as big but still good.
Killer Instinct was the sole reason I got an Xbox one at launch. I remember when they showed it at E3 that year during Microsoft’s presentation and I was blown away. My friend’s and I are played the hell out of it.
Microsoft has shown it wants a presence in every genre of game. Game pass is supposed to have something for everyone. Fighting games are a niche but an important one. So in that sense a new Killer Instinct is practically inevitable.
The Fighting Game Community of players that play Killer Instinct definitely want another game. It also started the model ALL fighting games follow now with DLC. 2013 release version was ahead of its time and confused people with its model, but its model is the staple now. A passionate studio has to do be present for a good sequel.
Lol gotta love that response since....idk....Maximilian Dude makes KI vids all the time, started a movement to get a new entry, and viewers show interest in his KI vids.....showing that YES PEOPLE WANT A NEW ENTRY!
Killer Instinct has some SPECTACULAR characters! It's hard to come up with unique characters for games. People just mad because Microsoft has It's OWN fighter that is actually good that they can call thier own.
Well they bought it, and after seeing Rare without Nintendo, I'm absolutely certain that it likely wouldn't have been as polished. It's a great game, with one of the better stories for fighting games. The replayability is through the roof as well. It is my favorite fighting game for certain.
KI was so fun with it’s over the top combos. To be honest I have not played to much modern fighting games but KI took many of my quarters back in the day. Fighting games fans have respect for the past from what I know.
I’ve been a Spinal main since the 90s until Hisako was recently released (in season two of the current game). She has been my profile picture ever since. Yes, there are die hard fans like me out there, please more KI!!
As someone who doesn't play Killer Instinct, I believe all games have some sort of value when it comes to their existence. Sure, some games shouldn't have been made, but all games have a fanbase and those fans deserve their favorite franchises.
What I absolutely loved about KI, was that you could beat the S!@& out of each other for a while, before the round would end. MK is cool....but you never got those intense beat downs that KI delivered.
KI 2013 is still my favorite fighting game of all time. Sadly no one played it locally in my FGC (everyone bought ps4 instead of Xbox One) so I had no one to play it with in person really, but the online was so good that I played it for years and years.
I grew up playing this and loved it. I preferred it over Mortal Kombat. This opinion was also held by my brothers growing up. So yeah people wanted it.
My friend was a huge fan of the original game and got me into the remake. Honestly the most fun I’ve had playing a fighting game, it needs to come back
Booted up my Xbox to play Killer Instinct after this. It’s great. Really nice to see a sequel launching on both Xbox/PC at the same time with 25 million Game Pass users. Would be nice
I was right there with you Destin! KI holds a very special place in my heart. When Xbox announced this I was hype AF!!!! And yes seeing the reaction again still gives me goosebumps. HELL YES I WOULD want another KI game!!!!
KI on Xbox One was great. It took a while to get a decent roster but Iron Galaxy did a stellar job. Just imagine the roster a new KI could have now Bethesda etc are onboard.
Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat are nothing alike. I love Mortal Kombat, but I LOVE Killer Instinct. The combo system is amazing!!! I want another one! I wish they would keep them coming!
Unintentionally getting Orchid's ultra-combo by button-mashing on the SNES as a kid was one of my most memorable gaming experiences. Sabrewulf, Fulgore, & Glacius were my jam.
I’ve heard the reason why KI 2 or whatever isn’t in the works is because Microsoft can’t find a developer for it. I think Ninja Theory should be the new developers. Say what you will about DMC but you have to admit it felt good to play
Killer instinct Is betther than mkx and mk11 together.... online experience graphics caracter design...... and was a game made on 2013 ... way ahead of his time.
besides growing up playing the game with family in the 90s my other favorite moments would be the KI announcement from 2013, I legit cried, winning money at a local a few years later and my top8 placings at tournaments I could attend.
Why play the last of us when there's resident evil Why play Uncharted when there's tombraider WHY play ghost of tsushima when there's assassins creed Why play sacboy when there's psychonauts Why play returnal when there hades
Except every Sony game is 3rd person action game, with same stealth mechanics🤭 you could throw Drake to Last of Us and you couldnt see the difference 🤷 Returnal is a good game, though.
I grew up playing the original MK/MK2 / Killer Instinct/ KI 2, Street Fighter 2 games at the Arcades and love all of them. I also had that SNES game and loved it... I loved my Killer Kuts CS I still have it LOL....... no guide here though.... Additionally, I do hope they keep the franchise alive.
I hope for a killer instinct reboot with all the original characters + Xbox and Bethesda and Activision characters. Perhaps to grow their audience a bit they could have a more casual super smash bros type gamemode
Parris acknowledged he didn't realize how much people like the game and people respected that...its when the same guy who last week felt he had to let the world know he's unsubbing from Game Pass decided to throw gas on the fire and say KI is not popular that set people off.
Gary got his ass whooped by some dude playing as Orchid in 1994 in Tampa and he never recovered since. Poor Gary. He would just mutter "Fucking MK clones" under his breath and complain the machine was too loud every time somebody pulled off an Insane combo or higher.
Me to, I pop in to check him out on occasion but primarily because he is such a Fighting game fan and seems to have a genuine love for KI. if the DOOD is reading this, go for the jugular, and just in case, the groin. That group needs a Darwin Award.
That's such a ridiculous statement Virtua Fighter, King of Fighters and Samurai Showdown prove that fighting games not as popular as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat still have die hard followings, Hell if the mindset was actually true Skullgirls, Multiversus, and Them's Fighting Herds wouldn't get the attention they have.
Thank you for speaking about KI, my most beloved nostalgic fighting game. I played Mk 11. I have to say they made things right. Hope KI will know how to comeback with that level of quality. With upcoming Project L, I don't see how they could make it soon
I actually played KI on XCloud a few months ago and actually quite enjoyed it. Haven't had time to sit down and download and play it, but I'd love to see a new version released. KI was the first or second video game I ever played back on the OG Gameboy.
The developers of the 2013 KI game were bought up by Amazon. And Phil and other Microsoft people have said that they would love to make another KI game and said fighting games are just hard to make vs other types of games. That is why you still only have a few developers that can even make a good fighting game. And that is why based on the style of KI, only NRS could honestly do a KI game. Unless you can get Iron Galaxy or Double Helix to come back. .
Killer Instinct is still the most unique and original fighting game with it's wild combo system! A mortal kombat clone?? huh??!! What's that dude been smoking? There's no fighting game like KI AND Microsoft needs to bring it back with a proper team to support it. The Xbox FCG is happy we have Streetfighter back, but we can't forget how much of a gem KI was. And I 100% know for sure the same community will scream with excitement if a new KI ever gets announced.
Killer Instinct was the sole reason I bought an Xbox One over a PS4. I would day one buy a new Killer Instinct game, it's an excellent franchise. Also, other than being fighting games Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat are in no way like each other, until Mortal Kombat tried to be like Killer Instinct.
When killer instint was revamped it was a phenomenal moment for me my children, neighbors and those whom we fought online. it was at the time very unique because all of the characters utilized weapons of their choice. the combo breakers announcements were sick and added dimension to an already fantastic game. I bought the new one and the 2 original and still have them today ❤❤❤❤
This video really eloquently illustrates my biggest issue with games media and influncers that have their own podcast, rather than differ to an expert in the community they have to always have their opinion even when it's clearly wrong. I love the KF Xcast, but man that was disappointing to listen to. This is also why I think fighting, racing, and sports games never get any love when it comes to GOTY consideration. Much respect for Parris on showing growth on this subject.
killer instinct was arguably the only reliable long-term system seller Xbox One had... to hear them trash the game so much coming from an xbox-focused show is insane to me...
I never played killer instinct until the new one came out and i got it at launch w the xbox one and loved it for what it was. It has a great cast of characters that drew me in and i feel like if they were given a mortal kombat esque story mode they could really shine
That Tony Polanco guy on twitter is also a cringe gamer saying killer instinct never made an impact. These dudes just became gamers when the ps4 launched I'm convinced
*Destin, I'm apart of the fighting games community so I'm biased but I do think Xbox could do alot with the KI ip like a crossover with other Xbox owned characters like a SF x Tekken or DC vs MK.* *However, with that said **20:39** that pop at E3 2013 could have been better when compared to all other games at other E3's and showcases in my honest opinion.*
Killer Instinct 2013 is a very unique game that had gameplay mechanics and content that even modern fighting games now cant replicate, what this game was able to pull of from one of the most diverse cast of characters to the some of the most memorable music in gaming not to mention an online netcode that even now some other fighting games struggle to adapt is nothing short of spectacular, if anything making another KI now should definitely be a priority for Xbox and with the amount of IPs and characters they own, its just a sitting goldmine waiting to be discovered. Gary should be ashamed for his takes. #BringBackKI
I really loved the addition of Parris to the cast. But the juxtaposition of Snowbike Mike being almost unbelievably positive and Gary being a curmudgeon (like Oscar the grouch). It really doesn't work to me. ALSO why I ultimately stopped watching is week after week, they were discussing the new games but had NOT played them. A game releases, they talk about the hype, and ask each other if they'd played. "I haven't yet.." And then the next week, they still haven't. It never changed. There's no use having a cast discuss Xbox games and they're not playing them. I ended up bowing out after a few months. This terrible take doesn't surprise me.
Considering it was a restricted budget launch title that released exclusively on a console that was being viewed negatively due to its proposed DRM scheme and, lower power and focus on connect., Killer Instinct did phenomenally well.
As someone who part of the fighting community Killer instinct 2013 is considered a perfect fighting game I did not know this for years but it is from music to design and gameplay
To be honest, Gary Whitta kind of always has a bit of smugness to him so his comments don’t shock me at all. I’m not even a huge fighting fan but Killer Instinct is fucken awesome. The sound design and combos are so heavy when the drums are smacking as you land a big combo it feels so god damn awesome.
I'm remember being at E3 when we debuted KI 2013 and Ed Boone standing there, slack-jawed. I believe without a doubt, KI gave MK a kick in the pants to wake up, the same way when we saw Devil May Cry at E3, we went back and reworked all the combat on Buffy to be more fast and fluid.
There's nothing wrong with liking more than one game at a time. MK is great, thats a given but more often I feel more invested in games like KoF (lorewise), SF, a bit less of Tekken and defnitively KI has the most flavour out of them all, imo; where else can you fight a ice alien, a werewolf, a dinosaur or a pirate skeleton? KI is like what Darkstalkers should have aimed for.
I know I’m late to the party. Killer instinct was huge in arcades back in the day. It was huge on the SNS. It was the main reason I bought an Xbox one at launch.
Just got into KI Been a hardcore MK Fan for a long time, only remember playing Mortal Kombat and Primal Rage a few times. KI's mechanics are much more in depth than MKs and it's very noticeable.
Killer Instinct is not a MK clone, it plays nothing like MK. KI brings in its own fighting foundation, only thing KI and MK are similar in, is its violence. KI innovated the fighting genre in its own way just like SF and MK.
Most Mortal Kombat fans don't really rock with MK 11 like that. MKX was the better game. MK 11 just looks really good. It's always interesting when people talk about something when they don't know shit about it. KI is one of the most unique and fun fighting games out there.
I was a SF and KI guy back in the 90s and I swear to the gods MK is a 2 week game tops that doesn't even have the mechanics to be a truly competitive game. I don't like modern KI but I also screamed like a girl when it was announced for XBOX ONE. I also have my Killer Cuts CD LOL!

Mortal kombat plays way different

She's a keeper
Killer Instinct is literally the reason combos and brutalities were added to MK
🎯
true, although mortal kombat has a better story (debatable) and now better graphics (for now) I really prefer the killer instinct combat system
Mah dude took notes on how to do moves in his 30 year old killer instinct guide book.
What an absolute legend
They had some mistakes in the book I corredted :|
The variety of character designs and combo breaker system make it so unique. It needs to come back.
I know I'd love that.
There’s nothing worse than a person who has no idea what he’s talking about and to top it off being absolutely arrogant about it.
It’s like saying “who need’s Silent Hill, just play Resident Evil!”
Way too many people like that in games coverage today, with seriously outsized influence. The blind leading the blind.
Killer instinct is no damn silent hill I get what your saying but it's definitely not that good. Mortal Kombat would be that and Re would be killer instinct not as big but still good.
I cant believe Gary whitta is saying ki is a mortal kombat clone! The combo system alone is completely unique and changed fighting games.
When someone says KI is a MK clone just proves that they never even played the game.
These people are casual gamers that don't know what the hell they are talking about.
Pfft. I want a new Killer Instinct bad!

So in that sense a new Killer Instinct is practically inevitable.
In the 90s it was the biggest genre in gaming
Fighting is not nice it's one of the biggest gaming community at one point it was the biggest community
The crazy thing about a new KI is that you have to outperform the 2013 one which is practically insane because it was made out of passion, not money.
2 Years Later.... 💀
@@chupasaurusSomething they could improve on is the ultimate attacks, which were kind of underwhelming
Gary’s heart can be full of hate at times you learn to ignore it.
If he said he hated Killer Instinct I wouldn't care. He said factually incorrect things as though they were true though.

Killer Instinct 2013 is a very unique game that had gameplay mechanics and content that even modern fighting games now cant replicate, what this game was able to pull of from one of the most diverse cast of characters to the some of the most memorable music in gaming not to mention an online netcode that even now some other fighting games struggle to adapt is nothing short of spectacular, if anything making another KI now should definitely be a priority for Xbox and with the amount of IPs and characters they own, its just a sitting goldmine waiting to be discovered. Gary should be ashamed for his takes. #BringBackKI
I'm a little disappointed you forgot about IGS. I used to love watching their live streams showing off the KI and Divekick fighters in development.
I know of them and I know of their history I just blanked on the name.
KI was so sick Jago's Ultra combo mmm chefs kiss
I really loved the addition of Parris to the cast. But the juxtaposition of Snowbike Mike being almost unbelievably positive and Gary being a curmudgeon (like Oscar the grouch). It really doesn't work to me. ALSO why I ultimately stopped watching is week after week, they were discussing the new games but had NOT played them. A game releases, they talk about the hype, and ask each other if they'd played. "I haven't yet.." And then the next week, they still haven't. It never changed. There's no use having a cast discuss Xbox games and they're not playing them. I ended up bowing out after a few months. This terrible take doesn't surprise me.
Walking into the arcade KI was that game.
I bought my Xbox One to be able to play the game, i would do the same with a new KI and an Xbox Series X…fingers crossed.

Hell yeah.
Killer instinct is bad ass period and I need it on my life
KILLER INSTICT is GREAT! I hope MS buys off NetherRealm and give them Killer Instinct IP. Would be insane !
Better question: why should I ever play MK when I can play KI?
XBox destroyed the Killer Instinct franchise by making it an exclusive for them RIP Killer Instinct even Maximilian dude said it.
This is the same take as many outside the FGC, anyone that plays fighting games regularly will tell you that Killer Instinct 2013 was brilliant.
Killer Instinct is just hella good!!
Killer instinct changed fighting games
To this day I still have my copy of KI when I was a kid and it was my first fighting game too! I really want a new Killer instinct in my life please!
Considering it was a restricted budget launch title that released exclusively on a console that was being viewed negatively due to its proposed DRM scheme and, lower power and focus on connect., Killer Instinct did phenomenally well.
As someone who part of the fighting community Killer instinct 2013 is considered a perfect fighting game I did not know this for years but it is from music to design and gameplay
To be honest, Gary Whitta kind of always has a bit of smugness to him so his comments don’t shock me at all. I’m not even a huge fighting fan but Killer Instinct is fucken awesome. The sound design and combos are so heavy when the drums are smacking as you land a big combo it feels so god damn awesome.
Hell yeah, I loved KI, I would love for it to get some continued titles.
I'm remember being at E3 when we debuted KI 2013 and Ed Boone standing there, slack-jawed. I believe without a doubt, KI gave MK a kick in the pants to wake up, the same way when we saw Devil May Cry at E3, we went back and reworked all the combat on Buffy to be more fast and fluid.
I myself prefer killer instinct over sf5. Now that SF6 is mulptiplat I still want a new killer instinct too.
I'd be hype for a KI sequel, especially knowing it's coming day 1 to gamepass. I played the f outt that game when it dropped.
Well I would love a new Killer instict.
There's nothing wrong with liking more than one game at a time. MK is great, thats a given but more often I feel more invested in games like KoF (lorewise), SF, a bit less of Tekken and defnitively KI has the most flavour out of them all, imo; where else can you fight a ice alien, a werewolf, a dinosaur or a pirate skeleton? KI is like what Darkstalkers should have aimed for.
I know I’m late to the party. Killer instinct was huge in arcades back in the day. It was huge on the SNS. It was the main reason I bought an Xbox one at launch.
Killer Instinct is the fucking JAM,Love those games, only ponys dont want it
Just got into KI
Been a hardcore MK Fan for a long time, only remember playing Mortal Kombat and Primal Rage a few times.
KI's mechanics are much more in depth than MKs and it's very noticeable.
They were just haters and didn't expect the backlash.
Killer Instinct is not a MK clone, it plays nothing like MK. KI brings in its own fighting foundation, only thing KI and MK are similar in, is its violence. KI innovated the fighting genre in its own way just like SF and MK.
Most Mortal Kombat fans don't really rock with MK 11 like that. MKX was the better game. MK 11 just looks really good.
It's always interesting when people talk about something when they don't know shit about it. KI is one of the most unique and fun fighting games out there.
I was a SF and KI guy back in the 90s and I swear to the gods MK is a 2 week game tops that doesn't even have the mechanics to be a truly competitive game. I don't like modern KI but I also screamed like a girl when it was announced for XBOX ONE.
I also have my Killer Cuts CD LOL!
KI is my favorite fighting game franchise of all time! Still have my original black cart as well.
“People are just talking” says the guy who is only talking and not playing.
I love Killer Instinct so much !! We need a new one !!
