- Tweaked MKvDC (the likely and safe way to go).
- Dramatic Battles.
- Tag-Team Battles (supports 4plyrs, an ace in the hole imo)
- Possibly 'strict' 2D gameplay.
- Enhanced combo system.

First of all, I knew off-bat they weren't reinventing shit, not with Boon at the helm. Same stiff animation and all. However, if they could alter the MKvDC engine a bit, and hearken back to MK3's style - we have their first fighting game in years.

Mortal Kombat has the best storyline and arguably the most interesting characters. The actual gameplay isn't bad, it just isn't as good as the other major fighting game titles.

Good to see traditional fatalities are back. I hope they have everyone again, like in the last one.

Eh, I figure I'll give this one a rental. MK hasn't exactly been spectacular in a long time, but they're still decent fun.

How do you figure it's a reboot and not a sequel?

They're all ridiculous. I didn't play any 3D one past 4, but 1-3 they all had the same fucking moves bar 1 or 2 specials. Shockingly poor games.

It was a fighting game created for people who were shit at fighting games. And like to masturbate over M rated titles.

yes, lord knows any REAL fighting game 1337 pr0 has never, or would never, TOUCH a MK game :roll:

There was a hint of quality in Deadly Alliance, which diminished in Deception, and was lost in every game since. They simply weren't interested in making a fighting game (and failed at making a 'smash' fighter as well if they wanna pull that excuse).

Just lagging behind the landscape... utterly embarrassing American contribution to the genre.

Still, I can hope for quality within MK trilogy's ballpark (N64 ver.). For the most park all they'd need to do is update/correct vsDC's gameplay which was a broad step in the right direction.

also, where the fuck is Scorpion in that trailer?

Looks awesome.

I'm not saying people can't enjoy it's qualities. It's just that gameplay and depth aren't present in the series.

It's like whacking off to a homemade cameraphone clip on a flash streaming site.

Sure, it will do the trick, but there's HD porn with hotter chicks out there that you could be watching.

Mortal Komeback?

I think I was describing a Mortal Komeshot.

nobody watches HD porn. That's just gross.

Looking forward to this game.Looks like a 1st day buy to me.

Scorpion is still busy in the police station from the other trailer :shifty:

Looks great. Hopefully Goro is playable. I always wanted to be that bastard.

Looks awesome... especially when sub zero forms a sword and impales his opponent.

also looks like a remake of mk2 with sonya in shackles in shao kahn's arena

Was that Sonya? Thought it was Kira.

I think people are really just marks for the characters and the nostalgia factor. I can't say that I'm not, even though I don't own an MK game past the 3rd on Sega.

I do play them when friends have them though. Not a big fighter guy, but aside from Street Fighter stuff this is probably the series I most enjoy. And Soul Calibur maybe.

I wish they could make the juggling look better. I dunno...I guess I can't really look at an MK game from a quality standpoint or take it seriously.

I really like what they are doing.
However, I would hope they switch back to 2D..if not, the interest is gone. After several MK games that all played the same and were terribly boring..I really don't care for another one..even if fatalities are back.

I assume you must mean without the aid of codes, as in the N64 game Mortal Kombat 4, you could play as Goro using the code or do some set of "press such-and-such at the menu and then do this and that".

i assumed it was sonya i guess

He was playable in Mortal Kombat 4, MK Trilogy (console only), MK Gold (cheat only), MK Deception (Gamecube only), MK Unchained (only on PSP), and MK Armageddon.

Don't think he was ever playable in any arcade version except MK 4.

Definitely Kira.

Um, yay? :?:

Dunno. Every time MK's rolled out a new game in the last 10 years, it's been basically the same old shit with a few minor (sold as major) bells and whistles.

Off topic but, I feel the exact way about WWE SvR

That's because it's in exactly the same situation.

Major difference though is that MK doesn't come out every year. They don't even have an excuse for their lack of changes.

For whatever reason, I end up getting the new one every time. Probably because enough time goes by between them that I forget how stupid the last one was. Not gonna fall for it this time tho... that's not true. I'll bargain bin it then still feel ripped off.

Dunno looks pretty kickass to me.

Nothing's changed. Looks like they took MK Armageddon and slapped it together with MK vs DC (sans DC characters obv) and then added shit that's already in older fighters (the dramatic battles from Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold/3 and tag battle from Tekken Tag Tournament/SoulCalibur 2).

whatever its mortal kombat and it rules
