I had a Legend class Vlad; I liked the game, although it didn’t like my laptop very much so I ended up falling off of playing it more than I would have otherwise.
Considering updates had fallen off rapidly a couple months back I had guessed they were fishing around for someone to buy it up; I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this reappear with a new branding in time.
Yeah, if they didn’t have some plan for all the framework and assests it’d be cool if they could release the source code under some open source license and have it become some weird underground fighter that gets molded by the players over time.
I really liked RT as a proof of concept, but this is probably for the best since the aesthetics were quite bland.
Then again I’m hardly in love with anything LoL but I don’t think I could name a character.
Wow, this Fightcade gamelist! I have no idea how this is going to be presented in the UI because this would be an awful lot of chatroom to scroll through. We should definitely run some of these games though. This is fantastic.
PSA: Anyone trying Killer Instinct on PC tomorrow. Iron Galaxy announced you have to pass the hardware benchmark at 60FPS solid before you are allowed play ranked leagues online or the game won’t let you. Oh and if you have saved data from the xbone version. Log into that version first before booting up the PC version or you will lose it. PC Download is free and you get one character to play with (I think it’s Jago on rotation so if you know your shotos you should be cool. If it’s Saberwulf, think Necalli from SF V except way more RTSD) also it’s $50 on PC for all three seasons plus all retro costumes/accessories if you like what you see
They described Shadow Lords on the forums as Arcade mode meets Roguelike meets XCOM . Iron Galaxy are a global threat that needs to be stopped before their madness consumes the world and Divekick becomes an e-sport. Also buy Videoball and Capsule Force because they are lit.
(Yell at me if you need some help. At least try it. Game’s fantastic. Xbone’s worst kept secret.)
I know I should be vaguely ashamed about wanting to play KI, but I’m actually excited to finally have a platform to play it on. My soft spot for the originals is probably ultimately unjustifiable but WHATEV, the two minutes I played of this at Comic Con a few years ago felt like exactly the sort of flashy nonsense I’d want from a modern KI, even if the character designs and art direction are a lateral step (in cheese). Too bad about Windows10/Store.
The game is really nonsense, but it’s got a ton of depth added since Iron Galaxy took over. It’s loud flashy nonsense, it knows it and revels in it while backing it up with feeling and playing so good. It’s the game that never should have been good, but it totally is.
Game’s up on Windows Store now. Amazing port from what I tried. FX-8350/AMD 7870/8GB will go a solid 60FPS at 1080P max settings and passes the online performance test. So anything better will probably sail past (A 980Ti will do it at 4K 60FPS as well).
