What do you think?
I've heard a lot of complaints about character designs, especially Glacius'. I was kind of upset when I first saw him but, after the initial shock, I decided that he actually looks pretty good. Saberwulf's design is a bit of a let down to me, though. I just think he looks unremarkable and boring.
Also, I wasn't impressed with the graphics at first. But, after really looking at high quality videos and screen shots, the game looks pretty damn good.
I think that the lack of enthusiasm shown by many people is due to two things. First, it seems like some people's anger toward Microsoft right now is also being directed at KI3, since it is exclusive for XB1. Secondly, people are wanting this to be a replica of KI1, which it's not. I've heard people complain that the most minute details are not exactly like they were in KI1. They've complained that the announcer's voice is different. They've complained that Jago's fireball was green and now it's yellow or whatever. I'm glad I'm able to see the game as a new installment in the series and have a welcoming attitude toward changes to a game that is almost two decades old. It saves me a lot of butt hurt and bitching.
So far the confirmed roster consists of Jago, Saberwulf, Glacius, Cinder, Fulgore, Spinal and Chief Thunder. I expect the whole roster of the first game to return. I don't see why they wouldn't. I think we can live without Kim-Wu and Maya from KI2.
Apparently, you can now break a combo breaker by doing what's called a Counter Breaker.
Dynamic music is another interesting feature. The tempo of the music changes according to the tempo of the fight.
Anyway, I think the game looks promising.

If you are like me a fighting game enthusiast there is no reason to pass on this game. Graphics wise it looks superb and Glasius is fantastic! Especially his jelly armor which turns into solid one during battle. Game looks to be fun and has enough depth for me at least to have me hooked. Only drawback is that is only a DLC title and im pretty sure that the whole cast will be completed in a years time since the XBOX1 is around the corner and we havent seen more than 3 characters. From the looks of it we can expect 8 initial characters with another 12 during 2014. Hopefully the cast will be expanded to 30 characters by the end of its cycle. Anyway, will most definitely buy it and enjoy it! About its looks all those fanboys what did expect characters look like? A typical ninja or a snowman throwing ice? Game looks DOPE! CANT WAIT!!!

I don't plan on getting an Xbox One, and I've never played KI, so this is an outsider's perspective.
Graphically, it looks good. It looks like a lot of fun.
My concerns are two things. #1, the announcer is obnoxiously overhyped. I could deal with watching it if he only talked at the beginning/end of rounds. Yelling "ULLLTRAA COOOMBO" and "COOMBOO BREAKEEERRR" every 10 seconds at default volume is grating on the nerves. #2, the combo system seems hard to regulate. It looks like many infinites will pop up early in the game's life.

As someone who played the first KI on snes, and the N64 one, i can say that i don't really have any high expectations from this. XD KI games were fun, but not that good to be honest. The only strong point it had was riding the "super-gore-fest" bandwagon that was popular in the 90ties. Clunky controls & animations, easy to pull of super combos, and forgettable characters. Oh, also tons of really easy infinites. The only reason why i played it back then was because of Riptor the dinosaur. (i was a huge dino-fanatic as a kid) About the new one... I don't trust the developers Double Helix (they really suck to be honest) or Microsoft. Of course that doesn't mean it can't be a good game. Who knows? Maybe Double Helix will get it done right this time. So far it looks okay. Not digging how Sabrewulf looks like a giant were-rat though. ...and the biggest minus is it being exclusive to xbone.

So, here is some footage and a slight overview of Chief Thunder. What do you think? I'm thinkin' he looks pretty cool. Maybe they'll show Fulgore next...I hope.

Hmmm...that sucks. I was expecting a few new characters. So, 8 characters would mean that 2 of the original roster would be left out. Of the OG roster (Jago,Saberwulf,Glacius,Thunder,Cinder,Fulgore,Orchid,Spinal,Combo,Riptor), I would expect Combo and Riptor to be left out.
It's disappointing to hear that there will only be 8. But this game was not a console seller for me anyway and I still think it looks good. TBH, I'll looking forward to watching people play it more than actually playing it myself. So, I'm still interested in the game. But ya, 8 characters...what is this, 1991?
EDIT: Where might I find this announcement?

Things (seem) to have changed: There will be "seasons" (no clue why they call it seasons). Season 1 will have 8 character (2 DLC ones, even though the game itself is a download title) The developers said they want to make a "season 2" with 8 more additional characters. ( link ) If it wasn't for xbone, i might have given it a chance. D:

More Thunder footage. In this vid, Thunder does a couple of combos. The second of the 2 is a crazy, super long Ultra combo. It's quite an impressive combo but what I'd really like to draw attention to is the environment. Crank this vid to 1080P and really take a look at this background and what's going on in it.

I'm not getting an Xbox One. Even if I was I think it's a silly payment model. And the original creators of KI didn't make this game, I have no confidence in the people that did Double Helix. And the rooster is very small.
Having said that, from what I've seen it looks like a decent game. And there is no fighting game announced for the PS4

Ya, so the game is supposedly going to have 6 characters at launch and 2 released afterward. The characters that have been announced are Jago, Glacius, Thunder, Saberwulf, Cinder, Fulgore, Spinal and now we've got this new spider-bitch character. So that's 8 right there. Soooo...I guess that means Orchid won't be in the game. They decided to introduce 1 new character to the KI universe while taking out the game's queen bee. Wow. That's really lame. I mean, I'm all for new characters and everything but fuck, there's only 8 characters. If you're gonna revive this franchise after all this time, how the fuck are you gonna take the original game's only female character, who was also arguably the game's most popular and most used character, and replace her with some unknown new chick?
What...the...fuck? NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! Fuckin' idiots!
I think this game still looks interesting and I'm still gonna be paying attention to it's development but goddamn, they really fucked it up with this one. I have no plans of getting it. It's 2013. I didn't know they made fighting games with single digit rosters and only one female character anymore. SMH

Hum. I played KI when it first came out. I was good with Riptor and I think Saberwulf. They were fun and I do recall me being a pain while playing them. However, I don't plan to get a X-Box One at all. Guess it looks okay but dunno, kinda of sucks being the oringnal creators did not do this one. Sure the ones who did this one is fine but I agree with some about saying not done by the orignal company. I hope it goes well for them & ones who get it enjoy it.

A big problem i see. With the free to play model, they have a set character they give away free (i can't remember who it is) The problem here is there will be so many mirror matches it won't even be funny. A simple fix would be to make the character you get random.

It's Jago. Ya, I agree with you. I don't like this whole "F2P" bullshit. I don't like the extremely limited roster and I don't like the idea of re-releasing the game with an additional 8 characters after about a year. I think they're really screwing the pooch with the way they're handling this game's release and I, like many, will not be getting it anywhere near launch time if I even get it at all because I'm not in any hurry to get an XB1.
I think the game itself looks pretty different and good right now, though.

I've followed this game a little bit, and do say it looks impressive.
I've never played any Killer Instinct before and have heard mixed things about the games.
My knowledge of the series is nil, but what I've heard ranges from a classic game to pretty bad. The main thing I've heard lobbied against is, exact words: Combo Masturbation.
In other words, easy combos at the touch of a button. I didn't see that in the videos in this thread, so it looks good.
I'm not getting a stupid Xbox One just for this though.
