IK REBORN!
MARK CALE ON SYSTEM 3’S UPCOMING REBOOT – IK++
❝We’ve been working on International Karate++ for a long time, and we’re now just finalising it – we’re looking to put it out as a free-to-play esport. We’ve game-tested it, and we think the AI is on par with the latest Street Fighter title and better than Mortal Kombat 11. We didn’t want to go for realistic fighting characters; I didn’t think that would work, so we went for Fortnite characters to try to open the market up. But we also want to put the original game in there, just with the new AI and speed, and see how that works. I appreciate that to some people that it won’t be IK+, and it’s not. Because they’re thinking 8 and 16-bit graphics, where as IK++ uses the latest tech – it’s 120 frames per second. And unlike IK+, where you just had 16 moves, with IK++ there are 120. So it’s quite impressive.❞
