If you refer to the thread about the 12/9 Textual Stream and notice this particular little bit, it almost seems as if they are hinting us toward that direction:

Maybe, and if that would be the case itās better to just update this one. I want the sequel to be a move to reposition the KI brand alongside Gears and Haloā¦ I want it to be a flagship MS game. And anyway itās not only graphics Iām talking about. Itās UI Design, overall presentation (CGI videos, cinematic story mode) and most of all animation concistency.
Just going off the video, I predict Kilgore will be the most complained about character in the game (as in, frustrating with runaway/zoning). It wonāt even matter whether he is a strong character or not.
This is not to discredit IGās design or anything (which we are still only speculating about), Iām sure itās really cool. It just seems like this is gonna be one of those scrub magnet characters.
(Also am I the only one who really dislikes the name Kilgore? 
)

Id much rather have fixed S1 retros than a reimagined Fulgoreā¦who is already one of the best looking characters in the game anyway. Im not feeling this at all.
I do really like the new Thunder look tho, that at least feels like a nice alternative retro.
Theyāve already stated that theyāll never be going back and changing the retros so that has no bearing onKilgoreās place whatsoever. You seem to be focusing on the cosmetics of the character, when I think its more about the gameplay. Yeah Fulgore is one of the best designs in the game and Kilgore isnāt meant to improve that, its just building on that legacy by making another character in the same vein as the original, one that actually fits the lore and mixes up the playstyle Fulgore normally has. Iām looking forward to playing him, he has personality something that Fulgore is lacking.
@Infilament Iāll admit the name isnāt the best but honestly its no better or worse than āFulgoreā is it? Iām fine with it, sounds like a more barbaric aggressive version of Fulgore so I think it suits him.

Deathstroke wasnāt the most op character during Injustice launch, but the bulletstorm keep hundreds complaining for a while. I totally agree with your point
Anyway, itās not a released character and surely he will see changes, but he seems to deal very poor damage from distance (and even up close)

Well, since we know one of the three characters is getting new music, itās safe to assume one of the others will be a clone too. My guess is a rushdown Galcius with a sped up Glacius theme to fit the aggressive playstyle. As for the new theme, Iām still convinced Shadow Orchid is coming, and her theme would need to be something completely different from Orchidās theme.
@developers. I donāt tag you guys much, I donā t think its always necessary but I just need you to make sure this one thing happens. Or it will be disappointing. Not leave-the-game-forever disappointing, just sigh-and-hang-your-head disappointing. Because I agree with @Fwufikins about Kilgore being goofy but adorable.
Claptrap color.

I think that depends a lot on his escape and reversal options, and how managable he is during his heated-up rushdown which he is supposed to be ultimately building toward.
Well Kilgore is actually a real name. In this case I wonder if itās an intentional Apocalypse Now reference.

Lol they just had to spell it KILLGORE
If you look at the gameplay his zoning is hardly an issue, they did a very good job making sure that his attacks and mobility were linked to the āgundownā moves. also that Blanka roll, oh man gimme that.
Also i think Kilgore is fine but Luvgore needs to be a skin where he shoots rainbows and hearts.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY ARE ALL OF YOUR POST SO FUNNY!!! I love you lmfao
Soooā¦ what was the point of the survey if they add random characters that no one asked for? I dont remember even seeing killgore as an option in the survey, and even if it was and im forgetting it, im pretty sure it wouldnt even be close to be the top pick
The Survey asked alot more questions than just characters, and if i was a betting man i would think that they have plans to implement some of those things in the future.
so as always just assume āStay tunedā and enjoy the new stuff.
That would be great to see, but itās just not going to happen. Shooters are more popular than ever right now and fighting gamesā¦ Well, theyāve made a comeback (kinda) since SF4, but itās still a niche market. Theyāre not going to put Halo / Gears money in to KI, as much as weād all love for it to happen. If youāre holding out hope that MS will see the light and reposition KI to be a AAA flagship title, I worry that youāll be waiting a rather long time.
You have no interest in any other characters? Huh? As for the human versions, I think theyād be a cool evolution for some characters. I donāt personally get why human always equals boring and monster always equals cool for some people around here. Like Jago is boring, but if you gave him tentacles for arms and a big dumb octopus head heād suddenly become cool? I donāt get it.
Iām curiousā¦ After seeing what Kilgore isā¦ Do you still want a Shark TJ at all knowing that heāll probably be some variation of TJās body painted silver and a shark head on it? Does that sound appealing to you?
I agree with everything except for the last part. I donāt think heās meant to be goofy and I donāt think his design is lazy either. I think we can all agree that itās not from a gameplay perspective, but outside of reusing some assets, I donāt see what the big deal is. Someone suggested a Prototype Jack vibe. I can get behind that.
Cāmon, be a little more open-minded than that. She could turn out really well. Iām still trying to be convinced by people that putting a shark head on TJās body is somehow ācoolā or even remotely original. I donāt get it, but if youād like to PM me and have that conversation, Iām open to it. I was going to respond about it here, but didnāt want to derail the thread with that particular topic.

I was referring to any other ābeforeā characters. I donāt want non-robot Riptor, pre-transformation Eyedol or re-hydrated Kan-ra.

They are saying that Kilgore is an amalgamation of Ultratech creations, and that is starting to show through in some of his gameplay. I see alot of fulgore moves, but I also spotted a burnout in the vs. Jago vid (courtesy of Cinder, anoter Ultratech creation) an maybe his tumble is inspired by tail flip (from Riptor). also seems like there is an overheating mechanic. Canāt wait to get more info.

Why not? Maybe not a topic for this thread, but if thatās who they were at one point, why not see what they couldāve been, especially if they wouldāve been different than what they are now? Kan Ra without his mummy business, Cinder as a military / mercenary typeā¦ I think it gives the player a different perspective on the character. If you disagree though, no problem.
