Proto:Killer Instinct (2013)

From The Cutting Room Floor
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This page details one or more prototype versions of Killer Instinct (2013).

Hmmm...
To do:
Everything,
  • Add the prototypes. Also try to compare these prototypes to the day one version rather then the game in its current state.
    • Comparisons with the current build of the game are undesirable seeing that several things were changed from launch to now. However, that is probably our only real option, seeing that no day one builds have been datamined (to my knowledge).
  • Crack into the .PAKs, that's where the game's assets are stored.
  • Some videos for research
  • One or both of the builds have debugging features.

Notes for May 17th Build:

  • Features some pretty rough visuals.
  • Only 3 playable characters; Jago, Sabrewulf and Chief Thunder. Glacius is present on the character select but as of writing it isn't known if he is playable.
    • Speaking of which, Chief has a simple placeholder model and doesn't seem to have sounds.
  • Interestingly references to characters not playable in this build, such as the rest of the Season 1 cast and some characters that ended up in Season 2 are present in the Audio folder.

Notes for August 20th Build:

  • Much closer to the final game, but still has some differences.
    • The full base roster is here.
    • Chief Thunder now has a finished model, but he still doesn't seem to have sounds.
    • Sadira has rendering issues that causes her textures to appear glitchy. Orchid also apparently suffers similar issues as well.
    • Glacius uses a very cursed placeholder model of Jago.

While no prototypes of the Xbox One or Windows versions are public, two prototypes of an unreleased version on Xbox 360 were released by Obscure Gamers on June 15th, 2020.

This version was never officially announced and only had video footage online prior to the release of the prototypes.

A more complete build with less and minor differences.

Content Shared Between The Prototypes

Videos

Two videos, char_intro_temp.bik and char_outro_temp.bik are present in both builds. they are placeholder videos with cutscenes taken from Super Street Fighter IV, specifically Dudley's arcade intro and Seth's arcade outro respectively. The videos are used in the May 17th build for the arcade mode present but are left unused in the August 20th builds due to that mode being removed there.

Very strangely they seem to have been taken from YouTube let's plays, with the intro specifically taken from RajmanGamingHD.

Configuration File

The builds feature a configuration file called resource.cfg, with the only difference between them is file modification dates.

Of note are the mentions of "DURANGO", the codename of the Xbox One. 

    #*****************************************************
# Usage/Format
#*****************************************************
# This file is in the format of three columns.
# The first column is the extension.  The second
# is the resource type index (matched in the res
# manager).  
# 
# The third column (new) is the expected asset root from which to read these files
# the engine (slayer.exe) only cares about engine resources, and assumes all files come from
# the one and only root (GameAssets).  Tools on the other hand can use the Root Index to determine
# where their copy of a particular file comes from
# 0 means it always comes from the GameAssets folder, even in tools.  Used for assets tools just use.
# 1 means it comes from the IntermediateAssets folder when loaded by tools via the usual resource load.  Used for assets the tool edits.
#
# The fourth is the platform or platforms
# that are used.  Note that these can be comma-
# separated.  Note that this means all platforms
# use the same resource config file.
#
# The fifth column is used for a human-readable
# description of the asset type.
# WARNING: Extension is limited to 7 characters
# (otherwise XML gets corrupted), so P3 is really PS3 grrrrrrrrrrrrr
#
# Additionally, if you decide you need to add your own
# asset type, then beware that this table is
# replicated in Slayer code in several different
# places: q.v. StdGlobalResource.cpp (especially
# the g_typeOrder field) as well as EGlobalResourceTypes.h .
