Since the day of the announcement I am waiting for April 19 - release date of MK - . The stage demos demonstrated for Gamespot @ E3, and other gameplay videos looked amazing. As a huge MK fan - MK II was my first game on gameboy 15 years ago - I was watching the MK trailers with huge pleasure and astonishment. The game looked great but I couldn`t get my hands on it... Until last friday !
MK Demo was released exclusively on PSN for PS Plus users last friday and I did not hesitate to wait even a single minute to download it asap and start playing it.
The demo includes 4 characters ; Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Johnny Cage and Mileena and two stages if I`m not mistaken. Guys, the game is awesome ! The animations, combo system, x-rays , fatalities... It`s the MK game that we needed in HD gaming era - not a DC universe vs MK bullshit - and I think it will be the `one` on april 19.
What made me happy was the easy execution of combos and how they flow. You can string many moves into each other and create crazy combos. Also, the way how you make special attacks is still the same for all characters which is great again. Scorpion`s spear with back back square, sub-zero`s ice bolt with down forward X and etc. Other than the easy execution of combos, x-rays not only look incredible, they are determinant in the outcome of the fights. They are more or less like ultra
Not only you can save the full bar and execute a X-ray move, you can also make stronger versions of special attacks with 1/3 of X-ray bar is full. It`s a tactical decision to make for every player and it`s very useful indeed.
FYI: I played the MK demo mostly on versus mode.
There is not much to say. The game looks and feels superb. I loved the new MK, although it was a demo it gave me a pretty good idea for the final product.
Before I stop writing in this posting, check the KOMBAT KONTINUES trailer that pops up when you finish the arcade mode - beating 4 characters - in demo.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
As a fighting game nutjob, I went in to this demo excited but kind of skeptical because of all the shitty 3D MK games.
However after playing for 5 minutes it was clear that Netherealm studios was on to something amazing. Then the Kombat Kontinues trailer plays an I was insta-sold. This is a day one purchase.
