wait what???? Killer Instinct 2013????? for xbox one....???
don't care....
At least I hope the music is as good as the original stuff
Edit:
I just regret having download this and hear it. As fan of Killer Instinct, the music is worthless, and nothing compared to the original stuff. wow,. it has original sampling of some original songs.... no, that doe snto make it good. The game is already trashy for what I see, and the music... is trash as well.
As a fan, they did not even cared to make a popper sequel to the original game. This is how to make fans angry. The main theme is horrible. They turned the best main theme ever composed for a videogame (Killer Instinct original main Theme) (

I need to wash my ears with the original killer instinct soundtracks, and wash my eyes with the original games.
This was just too much mind-rape
I disagree very strongly. Visually the game isn't as good as the original series, but the original series was very 90's and they were appropriately modernizing it; if they did a 90's style now it would be very much a retro-style game, whereas they were trying to keep it in tune with the current comic book style which is in the spirit of the original games as they did the same thing for their time period. I don't like the modern comic book style so much, but that's a matter of personal preference. Spinal and Fulgore have very traditional designs that are true to the original, whereas I think Orchid's is an especially good design and I'm also fond of Thunder and Glacius. I think they're good designs considering the modernization of the style, at any rate.
More on-topic with the music... honestly I feel it's fairly true to the original in the same way. Obviously there's a big style shift for a lot of the tracks -- primarily they've replaced all the pop-like stuff with dubstep (but it's good dubstep) -- but it's a pretty similar case as with the visuals; it's shifting to the most popular high-energy music at the time. The dubstep themes that appear in the game are still very true to their originals, like how Orchid's is still fairly poppy and with a strong vibe of "girl power", or how Glacius's is grim and intimidating.
The rest of the tracks are here and there -- I hate Sabrewulf's theme but love Jago's and Thunder's -- but I fail to see how any of them are really some ear-rape violation of what Killer Instinct should be. The main theme is almost exactly the same apart from sounding more metal than the previous two versions of the theme, and most of the tracks have an awesome tempo for a fighting game. Your comment about the samples of the original songs "not making them good" is irrelevant; they aren't even PART of the main song but rather parts of the track that pick up if you're idle for a moment (which will then run through before returning to the normal theme while fighting); they're easter eggs at best... although in Thunder's and Glacius' cases, the bits from their original themes are heavily remixed and amazing parts of the song. The idle section of Thunder's music actually brings a tear to my eye it's so beautiful.
Thanks for providing these tracks btw, guys! Can't wait to hear Spinal's theme. When does Spinal come out? Or is he already out?
