If you're wondering how the net code for the new Killer Instinct game on Xbox One might shape up, there's a number of examples out there already in the wild.
Patrick Gilmore, studio head at Double Helix Games, said that the team has been working on the online code for the new KI since day one, and they're holding up Street Fighter 4 and GGPO as the gold standard during this process.
Gilmore added that they're striving for a feel that's very true to the original Killer Instinct, but with evolved character designs, but still inspired by the preceding titles.
And possibly taking a page out of Injustice: Gods Among Us, the Gilmore said they're open to hearing ideas about how backgrounds/stages could be made interactable. Hit the jump to read everything.
