I always loved playing the Mortal Kombat fighters when I was younger. It makes me very happy to see Sektor back and Teleport Uppercutting shit. But the general feel of it has a "take the classic elements of Mortal Kombat and make a new game" vibe to it. Nothing is really confirmed about the story (other than it will apparently be the deepest storyline in fighting game history), but it just sort of seems like a remake/reboot as many have predicted.
I'm okay with that, as it'd be the first time the series has gone "back to roots" with its main fighting line. Also, judging by some of the roster inclusions (Reptile, Mileena, Sektor) they'll be paying a bit of lip service to the fans this time around. Often they just throw shit at a wall and see what sticks. I think Warner Bros. purchasing the series has gotten them to step-up and deliver something that people actually want to play -- although they are defintely weary (and rightfull so, admittedly) about just how much faith they place in the renewed franchise. Keep an eye on this title, however. Scorpion is pretty much a given, by the way. No one should be too concerned about him not being in the trailer. |

actually this might not be a reboot... I think this because scorpion is not in the trailer but shao kahn is fighting raiden. By the end of deception and Armageddon, scorpion became one of the most powerful characters in the game, so he might be a boss.

The only reason Mortal Kombat sells is because of nostalgia.

1. Source?
2. That's not so bad if they can reduce the amount of 90s cheese in the story. Been reading Witchblade lately and it took 10 years before it got kinda good. Fuck the 90s when it comes to comics and violent videogames. |

My man Kung Lao looks pretty nasty in this. But I always hated the Tablesaw fatality.

They company needs to think about "What made MK so popular in the first place?" and develop it better to make MK popular enough. The answer is VIOLENCE so they need to make this game more violent. Imagine how cool it would be if when fighting, u could rip body parts off your opponent but she would still keep going, like, u can lose, arms, feet, have holes in yo clothes and body and still fight until one character just crumbles into pieces. Now that would establish MK again! |

Plus the lack of masturbating to pointless violence since I'm not 11 years old. I was 8 when the first one came out, so it seemed kinda cool. Now it's just a snigger during fatalities, if backed up by gameplay (which is where the series has always lacked AND SHOULD BE WHERE THE FOCUS IS) then it will be alright. |

SIDE NOTE: I said "coooool" really loud after an announcement that a train was delayed due to fatality when I was 9, not knowing that it meant literal death. I thought someone had just finished a fight on the train tracks or something.
I was hit very hard. |

Come on thats something no fighting game done and will bring a new direction to gameplay. Like if a character has 6 arms like Kintaro or something, he will have an advantage due to having more arms cause even if one gets ripped off he still has more than u so u will need to pick a strategy of moves to rip his arms off first. |

That article talks a big game, but I'm betting it's really no different than the last 4 games.

LOL at Midway having the sense to regulate assists during tag team play with meter cost. Irony of the highest order.

I love how fighting games where all you do it fight think they need story lines. But their story lines are easily the most conveluted, overly complex head scratchers ever. Why do you need a huge epic story for "A bunch of gods, monsters, and people wanted to have a fighting tournment." There, story done.

No. But with custom soundtracks you can have the first movie's soundtrack booming.

That sounds like a lot of extra work. They should have just done that DM said. I don't want to customize a sound track with songs that really should be in it.
