Killer Instinct and Xbox One booed at EVO 2013.

[Prince Akeem]

During the Killer Instinct presentation at EVO 2013, the game was met with a pretty negative reception. Following the Injustice: Gods Among Us Finals, Madcatz and Double Helix came out on stage to do a 3-match presentation of the new and upcoming Killer Instinct game for the Xbox One.

And it wasn’t pretty.

original 300x168 Killer Instinct and Xbox One Get Booed at EVO 2013First, I was personally watching the Twitch stream and reading the comments in the chatbox. There were around 98,000 people watching the KI presentation at the time (remember, this is during the EVO Finals), and I can accurately report that mostly (think 95%) everyone in there was tearing the game apart. Comments such as “Get this s*** off the stream” and ”Nobody cares, show Marvel!” and “This looks terrible” were prevalent. Most viewers were blatnatly not impressed. The viewers were also not convinced that the commentators were genuine about their hype, and also felt that the matches were scripted.

Secondly, even worse, the attendees at EVO started chanting “Marvel! Marvel! Marvel!” in the crowd. Translation: “We don’t care for this, get off the stage.” I felt pretty bad for the guys from Double Helix, as it was clear that they heard the chants but had to ignore them and continue their commentary over the game.

And last but not least, after the presentation was over and they were wrapping it up with some details, they dropped that forbidden name: “Xbox One”. The crowd was instantly outraged and boos ensued for quite a long stretch of time. You could tell on the look on the presenters’ faces that they were clearly embarrassed, and you couldn’t help but to feel for them.

It was really something to watch this all go down live, but it just goes to show just how much damage Microsoft has down to the Xbox One’s image, and I feel that an actually good game may be getting battered because of it.]

Unlike you guys, I'll actually tackle the threads subject matter. The PS4 currently doesn't have any fighting games on its schedule so maybe 2015 you might have something

Nah, while that is true. What is most important is great games for either system right
It wasn't the actual "players" in Evo, it was the crowd. The same crowd that was like "I have nothing better to do with my life than to watch other nikkaz play games" so there outburst was no biggie. Its passion, misguided, but still what it is. The MOST IMPORTANT thing out of all this, and even your article was able to recognize it? The very last line of it...

and I feel that an actually good game may be getting battered because of it.

So even your article is saying you guys are basically a bunch of dumbass fakkits (not my words)
Would you rather not have Killer Instinct which IS a great game that looks fantastic? Then play Knack for $60
Or would you rather have a game that fanboys booed, and we'll all be getting for FREE via Download?

nikkaz actually was screaming "Marvel Marvel Marvel"

Spoiler

I guess thats an upgrade from "Lightning Bolt"

Fanboys are so

 

[MidniteJay]

Harada needs to stop fukking around and let us know what's up with TxSF or Tekken 7.

Getting a PS4 and ain't a goddamn fighter in sight.

Yeah game looks pretty nice... I'm not into fighting games like that but it looks like a sweet game.

Evo fans reveal their ignorance and irrelevance every day.

the game looks dope

 

[el_oh_el]

This is terrible fanboyism..don mattrick did some real damage

 

[chemicalsword]

the cat in that video on dat white but he is right.... needing live gold to even access the free to play and the purchasing of (not unlocking via game currency) but having to actually spend cash for each and every character is bad strategy. people will only buy the most powerful characters. looks like another backfire. scoff all you want but fan reaction is significant. devs will notice. will some shy away from the xboxone in the future??

@ double failix...

The FGC is hilarious

The new KI has a LONG way to go if it wants to be respected in the FGC circle (mortal kombat had the same problem before/during MK9. MK9 is just now getting respect on the FGC).

I agree with a poster above that Mattrick fukked things up badly

Mattrick was reaching Bernie Stolar Sega Saturn levels

Judging by the stream it's not off to a good start

I want to see KI do well, but if the FGC doesn't respond well to it, it's gonna be a long haul (tourneys help sales and bring in new players. Can't have tourneys if nobody in the FGC wants to touch the game)
