New Mortal Kombat

[AcidHairBall]

Uh... I just checked some of the gameplay videos. Call me pessimist, but I didn't feel excited at all.

Also, the overall movement of the chars looks like crap.

I agree, the movement of the characters movement seemed awkward. However, wasn't the movement in the earlier games also awkward looking?

[Blade]

atleast fatalities are fatal again, right? lol.

IMO Astral Heats are the new Fatality.

[MAdBater]

mortal kombat does not look special. it is going to be a 2d fighter with 3d graphics. the trailer that i have seen does not dazel me

Talk about bringing back the dead.

Two weeks ago, GameTrailers TV had an episode focused on the new Mortal Kombat game. It was announced that Jax would return and the Subway would be back

On to Jax...

-His look is more or less like his MK2-MK3 look with the metal arms. There is scarring around the shoulders which seems to me that these arms are a permanent addition.

-Most of his moves are back like the Ground Pound (EX version adds a Reverse Tombstone Piledriver to it should it hit), Gotcha Grab and the Air Slash from MK2 (EX version is a Double Air Slash).

-X Ray Move is a rib breaker into an Argentinian styled Back Breaker.

-One of his Fatalities is a combination of his MK2 fatals (Head Clap and Arm Rip)

-Win Pose has him taking out the American flag and wrapping it around him

Now, to the Subway

-Looks darker and more grittier

-Trains go by and create a windstorm that can blow paper and whatnot over

-Two images are on the wall of the stage. One is the Netherealm Studios logo and the other is Kitana from Shaolin Monks

-The stage Fatality involves the winner smashing the loser's head through the windows of a passing train (this leaves a bloodstain a mile long all over the train), then the winner tosses the loser to the other side where another train appears to basically smash them to pieces

Other notes:

-Sub Zero's Spine Rip Fatality is back. What role it has in the upcoming game is still in the air.

-Tag Team Fatalities might be included if there is enough time to implement it in the game.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Oh wow.

They aren't even trying.

[Starlight777]

To me she looks wayyy too much like Nina I think they should've had Sonya's hair be completely let down.

[Blade]

This series died the day I saw Bo Rai Cho covered in

strawberry jelly

blood.

[Soothesayer]

Meh I think she looks alright, I kinda like it if a little simple. And it's not like Nina is original looking herself.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Dunno what u niggitz talking about coz i was referring to Sarah Bryant

[Starlight777]

OMG Thanks a lot now I can't unsee that comparison either. I hope Liu Kang still comes out looking like himself.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Liu Kang will be Lei Fei with hair

[Hecatom]

as long as the chars looks good im fine, kinda sick of the ugly models that they have been doing for years

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Well, so far I guess you're dissapointed, coz ALL models shown look like crap.

Except, maybe, Sektor.

[Starlight777]

As long as we're drawing comparisons Sektor looks like Fulgore now to me.

[Hecatom]

Well, so far I guess you're dissapointed, coz ALL models shown look like crap.

Except, maybe, Sektor.

perhaps, but they look better than the previous games

i would like mkvdc Kitana though, at least the concept of her looked sexy

this sub zero

and this scorpion

lol shredder

[Blade]

Honestly I miss UMK3 Cyberninja Smoke's design. BMX outfits rawked.

[Soothesayer]

Gameplay shown at Brasil.

Part 2

I gotta admit, the game actually looks a lot better in motion than I thought it would. Still seems a little simple mechanic wise but that might be because the guys playing weren't that good with combos and such. Some of the animations look kinda robotic as well. I think the game could use a dash mechanic.

Still not totally sold, but I'll keep an eye on it.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

>>dash mechanic.

Wat

I thought dis shit already had the run thing.

[Blade]

Models look like they've barely changed at all...Uppercuts still look crappy as heck.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

... the fuck.

Chars don't look liek generic Gears of War enemies anymore. Well, that's an improvement (not a lot, considering we're talking about MK chars).

[Hawkingbird]

Do want Shredder Sub-Zero back

[Soothesayer]

>>dash mechanic.

Wat

I thought dis shit already had the run thing.

The guys playing didn't make it look like it did. They just did a whole lot of jumping. Considering how slow MK characters move I really hope there is one.

I thought Kung Lao's face looked ugly which sucks because he's probably my favorite MK character. His fatality would've been cooler had I not seen it a kajillion times in Shaolin Monks.
