Remake KI (1994) ?

[Pablo - Salta Arg]

Hi, Killer instinct 2 and Killer instinct (2015) suck. Is there a chance we get an exact remake of KI 1994 only graphics updated?? (graphics and nothing else)

Killer Instinct 2 sucked? I thought it played tighter than the first game and had an easier to learn combo system.

In my city, I remember KI2 machine was always empty. In my taste, the character design, the sound, the beauty of movements, everything was unsurpassed by any other KI.
I have it in MAME, but you know, it has limitations, it was 2D, low resolution, aspect 4:3...
It would be great if they remade it as accurately as possible, keeping everything as it was, even the physics. Please RARE!

People in your city must have been pretty dumb gamers then if they didn't take advantage of that KI2 cab. I'm sorry you grew up in such a crappy town. :(

This Killer Instinct came out in 2013, not 2015 :P
Ports of the KI and KI2 arcade games come with the Xbox version of Killer Instinct, not sure there's a way to get them on PC outside of emulation. Highly doubt they'd remaster the original..

Killer instinct 2013 for consoles, 2015 PC version.

1. I would go for lower budget and just want Original KI compatible with modern PC and good online.
2. Rest of the budget should supply new Killer Instinct. Also hopefully Macrosoft wont make it exclusive or time exclusive for their NextBox. Because current KI could have became 5 times more popular if it were availiable for more platforms. I for exaple couldnt justify XBO purchase just for KI.

It would be good to buy an Xbox for KI 1, but if they launch so many crap things, why not just make a KI 1 remake?? I mean, I have it in MAME, but you can clearly say that most things are 2D, it looks very cool but you notice the low resolution and all that..
Also take into account that KI 1 in those days was a revolution, it was super cool. All people surrounding that machine to look at fights. Now there are no machines but I can clearly say nobody talks about KI 2013/15, it passed unnoticed like Street fighter 5, nobody knows anything about it and nobody cares. I didnt play it, but just watch the videos of KI championship and it is a super accelerated and combos (in my opinion) are too undistinguishable from each other, graphically they dont look cool.. they look too generic, super fast and super unimportant. They dont have a great visual or aesthetic impact.. I dont know what I would do if I bought it and the price in steam in also too low, which doesnt mean anything but may also mean that they consider they failed.. otherwise it would be like 5 times more expensive, like Tekken, or any other expensive game..
Anyway the case is that nobody talks about this KI, probably because fulgore is too thin for a robot (compared to original KI), or because characters have big arms and feet and small heads, or Orchid is not sexy anymore, or because the Toads are in it and it doesnt matter if it was the Ninja Turtles or Tom and Jerry. Or because it is not the age of fighting game.. for any reason, KI didnt have any impact in the gaming world. After watching the championship I dont see any reason for learning a game with unatractive mechanics.
