Wishing on a Game: Killer Instinct 3

What if Rare finally made Killer Instinct 3? This is what TGR would wish for.

I have yet to play the first two Killer Instincts. I assume they were good?

I have no idea, I often wonder the same. Never heard of it before I joined N4G, seriously.

Me either. I couldn't really give a damn one way or another if this game is made.

it was a good game but nothing special other then being that old and was a good game at the time. street fighter came back and that will keep the fighting games alive, but i strongly believe it will ruin the genre if they bring it back because not many people know about it, and it will fail in sales

Actually the game is well known.If done right,it would invite a new era of fighting.Fans of yesteryear and new ones alike.It's never been my most wanted game,but their is a solid fan base.

Rare needs to make ca$h...And I think a fighter and shooter (perfect dark sequel) would give them a better chance.

IMO,I want all platformers from them,stylish quirky act/adv platformers.If the X360 is going to get proper platformers it most probably "could" come from Rare.

In the end their best bet creative and making money wise is to go for the tri fecta,fighter like KI,shooter like PD,and a act/adv platformer like Conker...

@Le Idiotce

umm, what the hell are you talking about? You clearly never spent to much time in the arcade (back in the day) as you put it. Rare owns Killer instinct, not nintendo, sheehs you might as well said Midway, they did the arcade box for both KI an KI2.And BtW, killer instinc gold was not even in the arcades, it was KI2 on the N64. Learn your sh*t man.

King of Fighters? Marvel vs Campcom? Darkstalkers? Street Fighter 3 3rd strike? All 2D fighters that still draw a crowd at arcade 2000 here in montreal, long after VF4 cabinets have gone on ebay. There is a reason SF4 is a 2D fighter, 2d Fighters are still the most popular competive fighters around, they where not "uterlly destroyed" as you so poeticly put it.

You should really stick to chasing you're tail and trying to prove why the PS3 is Better then the 360 cause you clearly don't know much about(back in the day), or games in general. Just repeat your routine and go create another, this one is about to lose it's bubbles....again.

I feel like KI was good if you were a Mortal Kombat fan, but had nothing on Street Fighter.

uxo22 - 287 days 2 hours ago
3.1 - I agree
Killer Instinct was really nice, I put down Mortal Kombat when KI came out. I don't know as far as street fighter 4 goes, I'll play it if someone bought it for me. But, classic as it may be, I don't like the hitches the game has between hits. I would be more interested in it, had it been fluid and smooth through out the fight (same way I felt in the past about SF) combos should be salvos not 1,2,3,4etc, you can literally count the hits.

I don't know just a wierd quirk with me vs the street fighter series.

4 - Is Killer instinct good?
Put it this way... If rare were to even just release KI 1 & 2 that is an exact arcade port to the 360, oh-my-gawd! I'd definitly buy it and take my chances with the RROD, with a 5 yrs. warranty(if possible).
I'm sure if they did make KI3 it would be F^%#in'sick!!

I am confused I don't remember this game to much. I don't remember either of the other 2 being good. That in no way is saying a 3rd one would be bad. I just don't see a following like Mortal Combat, Street Fighter, or Tekken. If they want to burn money on it more power to them it could turn out great we never know.

8 - KI was a fun game..
it was like a mix between Mortal Kombat and Street Figher...leaning more towards MK. It was the first fighting game that I remember where the camera would back away as the players got further apart. For it to be successful it would have to take a page from SFIV...anything else probably would not work.

10 - Ayo..
I Have a feeling that MS will unveil Killer Instincts 3 at E3...Rare has got there job cut out for them..The main core of that team that made KI is no longer there so the game is in new hands really, but if they can somehow pull it off..this will be a hit...Also SNK is making King of Fighters that game looks sick..

11 - Master Chief...
MS owns Rare...they should add MS characters to KI3. Master Chief, Marcus Fenix/General Raam, Banjo-Kazooie, Joanna Dark (don't really know what she'd do), etc.

11.1 - No they shouldn't
I am a big fan of Killer Instinct and if they added characters from other franchises it would completely destroy it. I hated when Master Chief was added to Soul Caliber, everyone I played against would choose him cause they were big Halo fans; it turned the game into a joke.

At any rate, I don't know how well a KI would be recieved in this day and age. When KI came out, it was popular for 2 things, its advanced graphics and insane combos. I'll admit, the characters were pretty generic and the gameplay was average, but I still loved it. I don't know if I could trust the new Rare to make a decent followup. Every current gen Rare game I have played has been a super-sized meh. They killed Perfect Dark, they killed Banjo; I don't know if I could take a modern day rare excecution of KI, it would cripple my childhood.

I would be there on the release night at Midnight to get this game. I LOVE KILLER INSTINCT. I think that aside from Soul Caliber it is the best fighting game ever.

17 - Strange I look at KI now on my MAME arcade and the graphics
can stand up to todays stuff...

That "Ultra 64" hardware engine was amazing...also the first game to use a Hardrive + Image in the Arcades...

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
