Killer Instinct 3 image from Rare barn?

May 13th, 2008 @ 06:53

From the same NeoGaf thread that bought you the Fable 2 screens this morning comes what appears to be proof that the studio’s working on a new Killer Instinct.

The snap was taken by a journalist attending a day at Rare to see the new Viva Pinata title, Trouble in Paradise. The super-secret one that no-one’s supposed to know about until later today.

The next-gen fighter’s been rumoured since before we were born, so don’t wet your pants just yet, but the image after the break clearly makes mention of “KI-3D” and talks about finishing moves and depth of field. Make of it what you will.

   Killer Instinct was always crap, though.

   I get the feeling this is rare in wind up mode.

   killer instinct…?!?!?!?! JAM ROAST!!!
   omg i loved KI on the snes! it was sooooooooo awesome. i remember practicing flat out to get orchids maximum combo and none of my mates could touch me on that game. admittedly i played the hell out of it but man it kicked ass!

   i just pray they dont ruin it and make it 3D. mortal kombat wasn’t the best fighter with its mechanics but was still damn good fun…until it went 3D :/
   2D guys, you know it makes sense.
   oh and that link splattered posted- those images still look sweet even today! KI is the man for christ sake. it might even be able to compete with SFIV…possibly.
   ULTRAAAAAAAA COMBOOOOOO! (<– KI fan)

   Ce sont juste des images promotionnelles de KI1 et KI2 !
   circulez y a rien a voir du tout…(encore un qui avait besoin de faire du sensationnel avec rien)

   Those are just promotional CG from KI1 and KI2, there is nothing to bump around with…
