Killer Instinct Season 3 Hype Thread! PC requirements included

Bayo 2 silly wily, Consoles win again, but its to be expected at this time since PC has never Gardner the perfect 10/10 exclusive GS score, :(

Still need to play both Bayonettas lol !

I think the platform will survive, it always does ^^

@mr_huggles_dog: At the end of the day, if you are playing this game, you are playing in the Xbox community, and that is all that really matters.

Thank you! A lot of people don't get that at all.

I'm not sure why that matters too much....at least it doesn't to me.

@mr_huggles_dog: It is a fairly simple concept. For a multiplayer game, there will be more people with which you can play.

@Fuhrer_D: That's not really a nod to the X1.

It's still another reason why I don't need an X1.

@mr_huggles_dog: Except it is, as the X1 is part of the community; being able to play where you want to play is great for gamers; heck I'd like them to put an Xbox App on the PS4. The only people that will/ would have an issue with any of this, are those poor souls that confirm their purchases by others opinions.

@Fuhrer_D: Why is the Xbox online community making a fuss over. Fanboy dumb shit aside....I've found cool ppl on both Playstation and Xbox as well as shitty ppl on both.

If it's the amount of ppl....I don't see PC having that problem but that's a nod for PC and the PS4 has a lot more ppl playing on it anyway.

@mr_huggles_dog: I doubt the whole Xbox community is making a fuss; make that I know its not, because I'm part of that community (for the first time, was PS3 last gen, Gamecube the prior) and welcome this move by Microsoft. I'm not giving a nod in any direction, X1, PS4, or PC, I'm just talking about expanding communities, and games being played by more people, which is good for the industry as a whole. Anyone who is against that is more into yelling about video games than playing them.

A perfect example of a community being great for gamers is, last night I received a message from a guy that saw one of my screenshots ("Xbox take a screen shot) of Zoo Tycoon (my little one and a play), and he added me as a friend and asked if I'd like to do an online zoo. I've never done one, as I hadn't known anyone that played the game long, so this community action will expand the game for me.

@Fuhrer_D: Rxpanding communities is a good thing, I know.

as far as exclusives for the X1 goes though...if I can get it on PC AND play with both Xbox and PC communities....I would,as I think many others would, just spend whatever on the game instead of buying a whole new system.

That's all I'm saying.

Here's some live streams

Because my $500 Dell laptop cant run games in anything like a decent playable state?

Well give it a shot! With the cloud unlocking all that extra processing power you can probably run them!

@Heil68: LMAO!!!!

I have tried bro. My point was posters here act like EVERYONE in the world should play games on their PC and forego the X1 just because they own a PC. But nowhere near all those PCs can run todays games at anything near a playable framerate. I am going to try QB from the Win10 store once I it comes out. Just upgrade the laptop to 10. Should be funny to see how pathetically the game chugs.

Very nice! Haven't played Killer Instinct since the 90's. Any opinions if this is better than Street Fighter 5?

Dancers are E3? Even back in '95? Looks like things haven't changed in 20 years. The only difference E3 got bigger.

Season 3 live stream

Warning to PC gamers! This game is average. Good thing you'll be able to try it for free.

@Legend002: At least its more fun than Street weeaboo Fighter 5

@FireEmblem_Man: SF is the king of fighters, son. [no pun intended]

@FireEmblem_Man: I'm updating your hype thread Fire_Man :P

Leak characters: General RAAM & Mira

(Copy/Paste what I said on this)

I saw this leak like yesterday but anyways, this seems legit giving the fact that Mira is Maya's twin sister and having a Vampire in KI would be good to see, Mira looks good, like something straight out of Castlevania.

As for General RAAM, huge win right there if this is true. Plus with Halo's Arbiter and Gears of War RAAM, we will finally have Halo vs Gears of War we been asking for all these years. Arbiter vs General RAAM. I gotta admit, season 3 is really looking awesome by the minute.

Honestly I love this design philosophy with the seasons pretty much reminds me of many MOBA's strategies.. This is what has allowed games like LoL to become so popular and keep a solid base, because the game and meta is ever changing with new characters, new mechanics, and revamps.. I hope fighters go this route more often with devs constantly fine tuning and changing the game down the road.. Constantly creating new and interesting experiences continually making the game feel fresh.

In your opinion! Too bad it's a boring fighting game full of rage quitters and full of serious businesses! At least Smash is fun, Mortal Kombat is fun, and Killer Instinct is fun! Street Fighter is NOT fun when you get an "experienced" fighter bitch and moan about you doing the same moves over again rages how "you're not playing it right!"

Why someone would need Xbox One for in the end ?

Because not everyone games on a PC?

Looks like I could play it on PC, wonder if I should give it a go???

You can also play it on the Xbox One ;)

I tried the training and go my ass handed to me..lol

So you telling me there are people that own a low end PC that can easily handle KI and so many other Xbox One games but they would rather spend 400$ extra to play them on Xbox One ?

Not many low-end PC's people own can run KI above 30 FPS, so why bother tweaking the settings when the Xbox One version is completely optimize? I own a PC, and I can run the game with an old Phenom II x6 Thuban and a GTX 560 Ti SLi, but I will be playing Season 3 on my Xbox One as my brothers prefer playing in the family room than my small room.

Can not wait for this on the PC.

This is how you do it Sony/Capcom. Not artificially requiring a minimum of a GTX 760 for 60fps [in SFV], to keep the community on the PS4.

See Tusk in action and as well as a special guest, a Vampire:

Only a few days now, my new main will be Arbiter lol....I suspect there might be a flood of people using him at first lol

Thats mainly due to console gamers this gen preferring the PS4, which is why the X1 sales suck ass and also due to the disaster reveal. Has nothing to do with Xbox games coming to PC which seems to be a more RECENT event by Phil Spencer. I swear you PC dudes overestimate the importance of PC gaming to console gamers in real life. When those they are two completely different demographics. If you have a gaming PC you're not gaming on X1 ever. If you only game on consoles for your whole life you're not magically switching to gaming PC unless you have experience with gaming PC's.

@FireEmblem_Man: So close now! I'm stoked, although it seems the game will not unlock at midnight, but rather sometime during the day tomorrow(I hope I'm wrong).

Here are some important details I just learned, might be useful for some to know :

http://www.killerinstinctcentral.com/important-notice-regarding-save-data-for-killer-instinct-xbox-one-and-windows-10/

"I encourage each and every one of you who plans to play both the Xbox One and Windows 10 version of Killer Instinct to read this post very carefully and take note of it! When Season 3 launches tomorrow, you must first sign into the game on your Xbox One console before you sign in to Windows 10. If you do not do this, your data will not carry over to the Windows 10 version and you’ll be starting the game with new save data, meaning all of your hard earned progress will not be available on the Windows 10 version of the game. Yes, you’ll basically be starting from scratch. Now, in the off chance that you no longer have an Xbox One, you can log in to your account on any other Xbox One console for the same results.

Again everyone, please keep all of this in mind for tomorrow’s launch. I know many of you plan to move over exclusively to Windows 10 or intend on utilizing both, so please tread carefully so you don’t have start all over again. Season 3 will be available sometime tomorrow on March 29th."

Killer Instinct Season 3 official launch trailer confirms Mira and Gargos coming in April and May, new character in June and a whole lot more
