Push-Start Mortal Kombat 9 Preview

Here’s a quick preview of some of the incredibly brutal special moves, fatalities, X-Rays, basic combos and the bonus trailer that you’ll be able to find in the Mortal Kombat (9) demo coming this week* to PSN!

To players who noticed the CONTROLLER LAG that exists on PS3 Demo of Mortal Kombat 2011, help me spread the word so that Neatherrealms Studio can fix this somewhat painful issue.

MK 2011's fighting speed is somewhat comparable to Tekken 6. The only problem is that while Tekken 6, like other fighting games (such as MvC, etc...) , have very fast controller response (0 to 1 millisecond delay), MK has a higher latency (somewhat 100 and higher milliseconds). When you block and wanted to attack right after, it feels it is already too late. And connecting special moves from a combo is harder since you need to adapt with the higher latency to connect it.

To know what I'm talking about, do the ff. on your other fighting game:
- Press a button and see how fast the character will respond to move or attack

After being familiar with it, try it now with the MK 2011 PS3 Demo. You'll notice that the character has 0.3 to 0.5 seconds delay response. Imagine how the delay will be significantly higher if played online.

I'm not sure if this has been fixed on the later build presented on PAX East 2011. If not, I hope this gets fixed before the game ships.

The new mortal kombat game is a strong contender for fighting game of the year without a single doubt!

UPDATE: Currently running at 1080p. There's definitely an input lag.

I tried setting my PS3 resolution to 720p and the input lag diminishes. Jumping is quicker, connecting specials and combos are much easier, and everything feels more responsive! Can it be more responsive? I'm not sure.

I hope netherrealms studio fixed this issue with 1080p or at least make it 720p only.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced

A new book detailing the artwork of the franchise has been announced

robtion296d ago

Let me fix this title to something less click baity for you:

New Book: Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced.

Garethvk296d ago (Edited 296d ago )

The description clearly says what it is. It is not like people have to click to the site. They just have to read.

robtion296d ago

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'.

Rebel_Scum296d ago (Edited 296d ago )

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.

Garethvk296d ago (Edited 296d ago )

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.

Rebel_Scum296d ago

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 😂
