YES YES YES YES YES

Like Scorpion's design from the trailer.

You can be whatever you want to be little one.

sweet

Okay, let's see what you learned Midway. Let's see the next-gen MK.

- Multiple versions of one character to choose. Changes fighting style and strategy.

- Persistence online contests. I'm guessing you fight for Outworld or Earth Realm and all results effect the overall tally. Wonder if you can pick any character, or if those two realms are the only two.

If the fighting looks like that video..... holy shit

Wiz khalifa yes mkx yes please

If the video is hinting at combat features it seems stage interaction may be transplanted from Injustice, as well as the return of weapons.

What would put this on my playlist is the return of tag mode exclusively.

The rap in the trailer was very tacky considering the game and trailer's tone. Like when they used Drake to shill Assassin's Creed 4. Just ugh.

nice fatality

It would be pretty stupid if your theory about online was true and they didn't also at least include the Nether realm.

Those ain't theories, that's from the press release.

I'll post my usual game analysis once they show more about where they're going with the kombat engine and the online modes. I will say that they're fairly inventive with their online modes.

I'd buy that for a dollar

Brutal

I think the different cut-in camera angles gives it more of the "cinematic" feel or whatever. If they can find a way to incorporate that without being too repetitive or interfering with command inputs, it would be outstanding. I know that would be difficult to program, but that extra stank is what games need today.

i came

as long as they have Friendship fatalities ha

Bring back brutalities too!

And beastiality.... errrrrrrrrr animalities! YEAH!

Johnny Cage should turn into a bald eagle since he is American as fuck and USA#1.

I would like a freshened up combat engine. But mostly tag mode.

* watches video*

Take my money now

Babalities FTW

2 brand new fighters were teased to be included for the game's roster with both debuting during next week's E3 event.

One question. Will Freddy Kreuger be in this?

Wonder if they are going to introduce more, or just magic all the dead MK vets back to life.

Who ever really dies in this game series? It's like a comic book.

That's kind of what I said, back when everyone was all up in arms about Sindel's massacre, which I thought was awesome.

Is Liu Kang not still really dead? :?:

No.

Actually I'm pretty sure Raiden killed him in the last one.

Liu Kang: "Been there, did that."

For once I'm really interested in where the MK story is going cause in Mk 9 Raiden was the worst protector ever and the earthrealm warriors were all royally fucked.

Yeah Raiden was really incompetent in the last game.

incompetent is putting it mildly
My friend was cursing at the screen and tugging her hair every time Radien fucked up. I was just in awe of his stupidity near the end I was like "stop helping us!"

I'M SO HAPPY!:'(

looks noticeably faster, game play wise. Diggin' it.

Bee Lady and Master Blaster dude are already looking way better than any of the new characters from the PS2 era.

Outside of Blind Kenshi. He's still awesome.

Also, woohoo time to speculate:

http://media.eventhubs.com/images/20...kxscreen01.jpg

Johnny Cage and Sonya's daughter. Kotal Kahn. The bug chick and the pair.

Btw, the game takes place 25yrs after MK9.

Kotal Kahn?

Another, longer Video

So the main bad guy is a "returning character that players won't be expecting as the main villain."

Lot of ways they could go with that.

Quan Chi?

He's been a major villain, there's no shock factor there.

Thinking Kitana.

Raiden says "Fuck this shit" and heads down the malevolent god route.

They done a dark Raiden before. Not at that scale but it sounds like they wanna really swerve us this time.

Then Kitana isn't a real swerve, family ties and all that -.-

Adopted father, tho.

Some new details from a GameInformer interview:

Online multiplayer will have at least one new mode which will be persistent.

Current plan is for the roster to have more new fighters than the original MK had and they are also fully aware of balancing issues popping up.

Hardest I've laughed in a while. Thanks Jura.

Raiden revealed as the next character with the biggest change being the ability to pick from 3 different forms. Each form has its own set of lightning and special attacks.

In terms of story, won't be as central to the overall plot like he was in MK 9.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/...ortal-kombat-x

Ed Boon states the current plans are for at least one guest character to appear in the game.

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...est-character/

90% chance it's:

And then I jizzed in my pants.

Not for the game but just some diddles from an artist.

He's mean.

Hsu Hao returns, sort of.

Is that actually the 10th part of this game or is it just an X?

X's are cool man.

Next MK confirmed to be XxMortalxKombatxX


It is the tenth main "MK" installment.

Ed Boon states MK X is bringing back an old "ality" to go along with the usual fatalities.

In terms of story mode, bulk of the game takes place 25 years after MK 9 but jumps back and forth several times within.
Also stressed to not expect a lot of old characters to return since the main focus is towards the new characters for the game.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/mort...rly-finish-him

Hope it's animalities. With the new cinematic style fatalities, those could be really cool.

Time-jump rosters, historically, rarely pan out with fans. It's a hard sell.

MK X to have console exclusive fighters according to Ed Boon. Also already considering post-launch DLC plans and packs for the game.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/neth...ive-kharacters

Whoever gets Predator first wins.

And yeah, they're be timed exclusives at first. They have tournies to consider. I imagine things will change come EVO season. Unless they want a Soul Calibur 2 case of banned characters.

I don't care that much for the tourny scene, but I imagine this will be the case.

Shinnok is really the only returning villain that makes sense, but they hinted at that during the end scene of the last installment, so it wouldn't really be a shock.

I'm still kind of worried about the three modes for each character though. MK is notorious for balancing issues and I feel like they are putting needless strain on themselves to make each mode viable.

Visually it looks great, and the story is always top notch as far as fighting games go. I'm pretty pumped for it either way.

NetheRealm are, admittingly, the fastest at identifying a problem and patching. I think balance won't be that much of an issue.

According to Destructoid's hands-on preview at Pax Prime, zoning/projectile attacks have been toned down compared to past Mortal Kombat games. Same for the dashing system which is meant to tone down on spamming.

Compared to Injustice, the stages themselves are longer in appearance but the actual fighting area is smaller overall.

http://www.destructoid.com/mortal-ko...e-280412.phtml

A regulated kind of 'stamina' for basic movement seems kind of heavy handed. I totally get the zoning thing, though.

Release date and 1st DLC piece was announced.

Game is getting released on April 14th while Goro will be a pre-order exclusive and likely released as regular DLC some time after launch.

Snap.

Goro is a worthy pre-order for me.

He's no Kintaro.

Custom gamepads from manufacturer PDP is currently in development although they stressed the final design won't be as lopsided as what was recently shown off.

the ocd in me cant stand that its lopsided

Not that huge of an announcement considering MK 9's storyline and previous teases but Quan Chi was the newest fighter revealed for Mortal Kombat X.

http://www.destructoid.com/quan-chi-...x-282022.phtml

DC Comics and NetherRealm studios revealed they are collaborating on a special Mortal Kombat X comic book meant to act as a tie-in for the game.

Would be the second time in recent years both companies have collaborated on a comic project with last year's Injustice: Gods Among Us having its own comic tie-in before it was released.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/dc-s...ortal-kombat-x

awesome!

Kenshi seems to be coming.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Wt5Ckx7DKJM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This game is so mean.

Something that bothers the hell out of me about x-rays a bunch of those should realistically be the end of a fight but the opponet gets up and keeps fighting

it's nitpicky to ask for realism in a game like this I know but that just bugged the hell outta me.

It's fine because VIDEOGAMES.

A Finnish magazine has revealed Kung Lao is playable.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/d...azine-reveals/

Unlike Sub Zero, this is possibly the same Kung Lao we've always had, even though he died in MK9. Fighting game story nonsense aside, he's always a pretty cool addition.

Oh come on he's dead...ok fine but he better be playable with a head that moves like its attached by a slinky

Then again "No one really ever dies in Mortal Kombat." - John Vogel

That kinda sucks

Then again no one plays MK for plot and character development I guess.

plot and kharacter are the only reasons i play mortal kombat

Dead kharacters randomly being alive with no explanation is actually preferable storytelling to Sindel murdering almost the entire cast of heroes in under a minute.

lol seriously.

If I want a great competitive fighter, I'll put in something by Capcom or Namco. I play Mortal Kombat because I love the gratuitous violence, character designs, story, and the the art direction as a whole.

That's really why it's such a big hit with the casual audience.

Kung Lao was announced to be the next fighter revealed for the game.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiick

Hope Goro has a story and ending and isn't just a bonus for vs. Always liked him as a character.
