A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
A new book detailing the artwork of the franchise has been announced
Let me fix this title to something less click baity for you:
New Book: Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced.
The description clearly says what it is. It is not like people have to click to the site. They just have to read.
Sure they don't have to go to the site but to get to the description they already have to have clicked on it. Thus the term 'click bait'.
If its a book say its a book in the article title. Everyone’s gonna think this is a new game and get annoyed reading your description.
The Mods had no issues with the title.
The first line under the image says new book and you can see it in the preview windows without even having to click to read the description.
It also says a Visual History on the image.
On desktop and mobile the text a visual history is not visible in the thumbnail on the homepage.
I grew up on this stuff. Adding it to the art collection!
I do hope the next MK iteration goes back to the core of what made these characters appeal in the first place. A few of them lost their edge - I think I've had enough with some of the auntie designs 😂
Ahead of the release of the new Mortal Kombat skins in Fortnite, Epic Games has given players a first look at Scorpion, Kitana, and Raiden.
I've actually just got MKII on the PS network. It's awesome, I really want a new MK. Rated M for sure, with Kung Lao. Hat throwing goodness...
have you guys actually downloaded the trailer? This looks like Mortal Kombat meets MVC2. You can character swap in the matches now. Looks like this is going to be a game i might actually have to pick up.
I realy hope this game is great, the series deserves it.
Fantastic, Brutal combat...
Ready to kick ass with Johnny Cage. Bringing the most badass move ever devised: THE SHADOW KICK.
I'm praying that the fatalities look as badass as they were in MK1/2, and not the cartoony ones in the PS2/xbox games. They should be quick, simple, and make you go "OH!".
I'm not impressed by anything more than the actual character models themselves.
The juggling looked absolutely ludicrous, see Kung Lao's kick juggle as an example. The mechanical look and feel from the Deadly Alliance trilogy is still apparent in this. The way the characters move, even when falling, attacking, or getting hit, looks like stop-motion claymation. It's all very rigid and lacks fluidity.
I will say that the fatality that Kung Lao was getting ready to perform on Sub-Zero looked wicked, and if that's any indication, the fatalities should be pretty sick, but the fighting itself looks meh. Hopefully there were a lot of placeholder animations and physics there, but I highly doubt that because if there were, this footage would not have been assembled as a trailer, but rather as a demo at a gaming convention. I'll try this when it comes out, like I typically do with Mortal Kombat, as I'll always love the characters and the earlier games, but I'm going into the experience with a very reserved attitude.
Although I do think the original trilogy represents the best the series had to offer, I don't necessarily think that 2D is the quintessential formula for fixing a damaged franchise.
I'm all about something 3D, new, and fresh...but only if it works. MK4, Deadly Alliance, and MKvsDC were all fresh new reboots, but they were all garbage, with 4 being the most embarrassing of the entire franchise. These games weren't bad BECAUSE they were 3D, but because nearly every aspect about them was very poorly executed. It's not impossible to create a well-crafted, innovative idea, but the team really needs to go back to the drawing board, put their heads together, and think on this one. I'm sick of being let down time and time again by my formerly favorite fighting franchise.
