I've also managed to save some Killer Instinct footage, that I color corrected as best as I could but it's still very dark. Still, at least the video runs at 60 fps!
Update: Added a second, and also last, video.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Days ago)

there is a F2P version you know
Funny thing is, if it looked EXACTLY like the old one there are two things;
1. It wouldn't look good in today's market. Those old designs and renders were great when we were growing up, but the reality is they don't hold up now.
2. A bunch of people who don't know/understand the old games would say, "Why do these characters look like plastic dolls covered in oil with super big/long faces???"
If you want the old game(s), there are plenty of emulators (I play them all the time on emulator). If you want to accept something truly "new", something that's smooth, 60fps, hi-res, online, modern, then realize these guys aren't trying to kill your childhood. Hell, from what I've read, they're all really big fans.
Plus, don't they have the original game designer consulting anyway?!

Although saying that, it still amazes me that looking at a game like this and then remembering back when the original was out and hoping and wishing that games would eventually look like the CG renders of the characters. It's odd looking at what was considered top notch renders back then now and thinking they look terrible compared to the real time models seen now in this game, which they do.
I don't think these videos do the game justice. They're compressed and really don't show the 60fps well. I saw it at E3 and still have yet to see a video released that looked as good as it did at E3 and that was months ago.
As for "next gen gameplay", I don't make fight games, so I don't know what "next gen fight game gameplay" would be, but I'm pretty sure if they deviated too far from Killer Instinct core gameplay for this reboot, teh interwebz would be bitching even more.
From what I've read, they're going for reviving Killer Instinct for new and old players, with a focus on tournament play. The FGC are very particular in what they play, what they accept and any "next gen gameplay" would probably be seen as gimmicks.
Either way, I love the first (the first, not the second) game and I'm looking forward to this one, even if Chief Thunder doesn't have his punk-rock mohawk.
Well, at least they're 60fps. Too bad they're off-screen, crunchy and without sound. Also, whoever is playing Sabrewolf and Thunder is TERRIBLE!
The ground in the temple looked modeled, but probably not "1000x better than huge scale games", whichever ones those are.
