Mortal Kombat X Hands-on Preview [Capsule Computers]

Zac Elawar of Capsule Computers writes:

"To all my Mortal Kombat brethren, I must apologise. You see, ever since Mortal Kombat X was revealed, we MK fanatics have been scrounging around for any information on the tightly-sealed story of the tenth entry in the iconic fighting franchise, and our best shot at gleaning any details of said story is through the introductory dialogue between fighters as they square up and ready to come to blows. Unfortunately, the conditions – particularly the noise level – of the EB Games Expo 2014, prevented me from making out any full lines of dialogue. Although I did catch tidbits and can give you all some paraphrased quotes at the end of this article."

The intro dialogue included at the bottom of this article is very intriguing as it relates to relationships and potential story beats in MKX!

TheLordOfStuff4247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

My body is ready... But seriously, I'm really excited for this game, I'm really curious to see all the new characters, and it's probably the first modern MK to release in Australia uncensored (I assume it will get through unscathed in the R18 category)

ZacE4246d ago

Me too man. They had R18+ warnings around the booth of course, but yeah I am really hoping we don't shafted because even with the new rating, there've still been some bans, which is utter B.S.

TheLordOfStuff4246d ago

Yeah the new rules are good compared to that ancient system we had before but personally I still think the problem is the ratings board (can't remember what they are actually called) are to "hands on" with the review process, i think it needs to be more autonomous like in the US, letting the developer/publisher handle the rating and content warnings, they could just have it so if companies don't rate it correctly they get fined or something.

CorruptBoyd4246d ago

can't wait to get some competitive matchs in this beast. Hopefully they include frame data as they did in injustice for competitive players. Also does anyone know if this game will include transitions? probably not huh?

Storm231695d ago

Cool. Wanted to play Hell Let Loose and I always enjoy a good golf game. Mortal Kombat X should have been 11 IMO though.

NoFanBoy1695d ago

HLL seems a bit of a mess on console, I hope it improves but didn't have fun with the beta.

EvertonFC1695d ago

Same was looking fwd to the beta but it was not a great experience

1nsomniac1695d ago

Yea HLL is great on PC but is really hard to enjoy currently on console.

NeoGamer2321695d ago

Ya, I really wanted to play PGA 2K21 but didn't want to pay the price.

Eonjay1695d ago

Agreed. MKX should have been 11. I will play PGA though. Haven't played since Tiger Woods. This month feels lacking.

Ashunderfire861695d ago

I know right lol!!! Mortal Kombat X is free on PS5, but I understand PS4. Heck the PS4 version should be easy to get for just $20 or even less $10 dollars on ebay or selling stuff apps.

Profchaos1695d ago

You can play it right now open beta is live and free

MKX was already in PS Plus Collection. This is the second time they've double dipped. Thank god the golf game lets u hit balls into the crowd.

BrainSyphoned1695d ago

At least twice this year they have double dipped into PS Now games as well.

Christopher1695d ago

Two separate services isn't double dipping. People do understand that, right? Subscribing to one or the other doesn't give you benefits to the other in any way.

jznrpg1695d ago

Fine with me I don’t sub to PS now

ocelot071695d ago

You don't know PS Collection is not available to PS4 only owners right? Only way they can claim this is by buying a PS5 or logging into a PS5 and claiming them.

So am pretty sure a fair few of the 100+ million PS4 owners are thankful.

Knushwood Butt1695d ago

Mortal Kombat X was never released in Japan so this is another one that won't be included in the lineup for Japan and will probably be swapped for some crap but I'll remain optimistic.

Silly gameAr1695d ago

I'm pretty sure MK has never been on plus. In the US anyway.

Not sure what PS Now has to do with PS Plus.

Profchaos1695d ago

Lee carvello: may I suggest a putter
You have chosen driver.

CorndogBurglar1694d ago

You win for your Simpsons reference.

BLow1695d ago

And like clockwork, you always have some complaining. Happy Gaming

Ozzy24071695d ago

Only PS5 owners get the PS plus collection which majority of playstation owners don't have

TheExecutioner1695d ago (Edited 1695d ago )

Not every one have ps+ collection

When u will stop thinking like a child

Knushwood Butt1694d ago

Update

Japan gets Castlevania Requiem instead of MKX

Not crap then!

3 games I won't play even when they are free

lipton1011689d ago

Really? They’re all legit good games

kneon1689d ago

I've never liked those kinds of fighting games so mortal combat is out. Golf? I don't know why such a game even exists. the last time I played a golf game was on the Apple ][. And finally hell let loose looks like just another in the endless stream of ww2 shooters, I already have enough of those in my backlog that I will probably never play either

SurgicalMenace1695d ago

You know when you actually buy your games you wouldn't be so ungrateful for the free ones. Just a thought.

LiViNgLeGaCY1694d ago

This month just didn't appeal to ME personally. If it's a good a good month for others, hey more power to them. And please, I'm willing to bet I've bought more Playstation games than you have. Probably shouldn't make assumptions about people without really knowing them, just a thought.

SurgicalMenace1694d ago

How much you willing to wager, sir? I've purchased just over 20 games this month alone. Have over 830 games in my digital library 250 on my shelf and that is only the PS4. We'll skip the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, VITA, and PS5 just to keep it fair. Who's counting though?🤷🏾‍♂️

1694d ago
LiViNgLeGaCY1693d ago

Whatever you'd like. Since the PS1 days, my collection is in the thousands, just on Playstation alone. Pissing match aside, again, you shouldn't make comments in the future where you look stupid (ex. Telling someone you don't know that they don't buy games)

SurgicalMenace1693d ago

Or perhaps, since you have such the healthy collection, stop whining about the charity. If they don't give it, then buy it.

Pocahontas1689d ago

WhT do you do for a living to afford 20 games in one month

RedDevils1695d ago

Shit games this month. Mortal Kombat X is already on PS+ Collection what the point of have it again. Throwing some indie and would be more happy.

Ozzy24071695d ago

Because the PS+Collection is only for PS5 owners which majority of playstation owners don't have

KyRo1695d ago (Edited 1695d ago )

Hell Let Loose looks great but it's not a casual game and a bit of a acquired taste. It's nice for people to dive in a d try it though. MKX is already on PS5 for free with the PS collection so that bad for PS5 owners and it was only two months ago everyone complained about a sports title being included as a game but yet they follow suit with another one 🤦🏻‍♂️

PS Plus started so well at the beginning of the year too.

SurgicalMenace1695d ago

I never thought I'd see a day when people complain about what they get for free. Hey, there is another great alternative to settling for free games, BUYING what you want.

How much do you think a market leader is going to be willing to cut into their own pockets? How many games do you actually purchase or do you just wait for them to hit plus?

We actually are grown enough to know that we have to pay for greatness over here. You have an option to go to MS if you'd like as well. Otherwise, add it to your library, say thank you, and move on. How old are we here?🤔

KyRo1695d ago (Edited 1695d ago )

I've been subbed to PS plus since the very day it started when all we'd get is PS1 and minis on PS3. PS Plus as a service was always about the games. Now they've made it a requirement for online play you mistakingly think these games are the bonus. They're not. We pay for access to the games via the subscription. They're not free so before running your mouth and giving it the big one, please educate yourself before calling people out.

SurgicalMenace1695d ago (Edited 1695d ago )

Well sir, I too have been a PS+ member since it's inception and own well over 3,000 games on PS3, 1200 of PS4, and close to every game available on PS5. I speak from a supporting standpoint and I'm strongly against people who do more talking with their mouths than their wallets.

If you've not invested into the best experience possible, then why should your opinion be acknowledged? Plus is 70 dollars a year that equates to about $6 dollars a month....what do you expect to get, a choice?🤣

The day that beggers become choosers is the day that gaming dies. How many of the new releases have you purchased? If the answer is none, be happy with what is given. When you're playing the latest, you have little concern for the hand outs. Just a thought, champ.🤣

Kurt Russell1695d ago

Personally I am looking forward to Hell Let Loose. I don't think I would have dived in with a purchase for that one, but I am dead curious to play it... I am hoping it is just the kind of MP I have been hoping for since R6S went doolally.

KyRo1694d ago

Yeah it looks great for sure. I've watched a few people play it on PC and I'm interested to know it's transitioned to console.

outsider16241695d ago

Yesss!! Played HLL open beta and it was amazing. The immersiveness, the one bullet shot, you can't just go running around shooting like in CoD or Bf.

NoFanBoy1695d ago

The beta has a low framerate, lag, loads of pop in textures, flickering shadows etc. It felt horrible to control and aim. If they could improve it then there potential.

Majin-vegeta1695d ago

Thry are aware.They made a post yesterday

FPS_D3TH1695d ago

It’s not really optimized too well on pc yet either. Lots of flickering
