It’s possible. In the meantime, I’m disappointed, and it makes me wonder if something else I had come to count on (i.e. having the fifteen characters I cared about come back) is also in jeopardy for something I didn’t want or care about.
More like hyped to death XD
You forget they already showed the Arbiter’s stage. In the trailer for the Arbiter I am sure you can find it here if you haven’t seen the Devs said that it was in game and that was his stage. So as far as guest go Arbiter has a stage.
EDIT: spelling.

I never complained about lighting personally but i get what u mean but to waste all of the SE3 budget on fixing it? I dunno man thats crazy thinking right there. thats almost comparable to making PS4 games push 1080p over a stable frame rate. who the heck does that?

@Filemoncio “I grind Survival mode a lot and I’m always playing at all stages daily.”
Exactly my point. Now ALL stages look A LOT better and characters. The whole game! Check the screenshots man.
The trade is.. Much better looking game vs. 4 new stages. We still getting all new characters.

thats the rub. Its not a trade. they messed up the lighting pre season 2 and now they are fixing it at the cost of content, IE: Ultimates, stages, ect

Thanks for sharing the cool slider-images too, and I’m on the edge of my seat to learn more!

@ShellShock520 You can keep repeating that as much as you want. That doesn’t make it true. Everyone here has been playing the game and you are the only one saying this. I did not see them messing up anything. Show comparison screenshots please.
Well perhaps it won’t feel like such a bad idea when we have the full picture.
Like I said, all I wanted was Tusk.
I plan to stay calm and stay tuned.
KI was part of my childhood as did many here. I haven’t picked up a fighter until I heard KI was coming back to Xbox One. I was super excited. I not only enjoyed it, but it’s gotten me hooked in the fighting game genre. It’s been amazing to see a game that was so maligned by its distribution approach and being an Xbox exclusive, to now releasing a season 3.
I think a lot of us would love for KI to become a premiere fighter again with similar budgets as MK and SF, but because it’s in such a niche genre and is an IP that’s been dormant for almost 20 years, it needs more distribution channels other than the Xbox. I think PC is important to get this game some recognition it deserves. In fact, I wish Microsoft could treat it like their Minecraft IP and allow it to be in the PS4, Wii and Mac too, but I know that’s asking for too much because KI needs to prove it first, and I don’t think they’ll realistically go that far.
Granted, implementing it to PC may have sacrificed the stages, but I don’t doubt the team in IG is looking to do their best for KI. They have to maintain their monetary and time budgets. They’ve been one of the most open developers I’ve seen who are passionate about the game they’re making. It’s been really great to see an old childhood friend come back , and I hope more people will be able to get their hands on it and enjoy it as much as I do.

We don’t even know where most of the budget went yet, and you guys are crying foul. Yeah, 3 stages…not the best scenario. But calling it a disaster? Lmao, relax.
LOL, everyones a liar unless they post a link, go read the bug forums and do some homework. they talk about it in great detail. Unlkess u live in sadira’s spider cave, its totally understood by many IG scrapped it
not sure how i feel about this, KI has always been known for every character getting their own unique environment, its gonna be hard answering a question from friends when they ask something like “so whats Tusks stage like?” and having to answer with “he doesnt have one”, it just doesnt seem right, im sure the reasons are legitimate but i wont lie and say im happy about it, im more neutral, i care about quality AND quantity, but sacrificing one of those to (in my opinion) unnecessarily improve the other? seems like Season 3 will be more of a disappointment than a mass of hype, just my 2 cents in the matter, you can disagree all you want, my opinion is my own

Hmmm… What ever happened to those story mode stages that was cut do to download size? Are they still around?
@ShellShock520 It seems it’s only understood only by you. I play the game. I don’t need to do any ‘homework’. You are the only person saying this and nothing to show for it.
Who’s ready for the next community fund?

This news makes me both happy and sad at the same time, now that being said. I am really looking forward to see what the new lighting engine does to Fulgore’s stage because it is (in my opinion) visually the worst looking stage in the game at the moment.
Only 3 stages and Microsoft WASTES a slot on Arbiters’ boring af locale??? IMO trading a better lighting system for 5 less stages was a terrible decision. Even on stages like cinders’ where people complain, I can see perfectly well.
Can a community fund with tiered goals get announced already so we can at least have the option to pay for content the game has always had?
