While many of the famous 2D fighting game series are from the East and are infused with Japanese anime stylings and conventions, there is however one series from the West that has stood the test of time and generated a large and loyal fan following, that being Mortal Kombat
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.
TOASTY!!!!!
cant wait. really curious to see how many characters they are going to end up putting in and if they will offer custom character creations. 2d is where it is at with the fighting games.
now the only thing I want from Mortal Kombat is solid story telling. Several of the past games have failed to tell an interesting story, or even if they had one they didn't do it right. Perhaps have cutscenes for the story mode like in the previous game, but play them out in more detail. A solid story from Mortal Kombat is what I'm really looking forward to.
I really hope this game succeeds.
Looking forward to MK, Socom 4 and Twisted Metal.
