It’s supposed to come out today for PSN+ users (next Tuesday for the rest of the PS3 community). Anyone excited? Post your impressions here when it comes out.
I signed up for 3 months of PSN Plus last night. Seems like a pretty worthless service. When the hell do they do PSN Store updates? I want muh demos.
Have they at all mentioned what build of the game this demo is from? Because it could be E3 of last year (the same characters were available then). If so, that wouldn’t be a good look, considering they’ve polished the game since then.
And Matty, why’d you buy PSN+ for the demo? Impressions and videos of it are going to be splayed all over the internet by Thursday at most, and non Plus users get it next week anyway.
The demo is the same build they have been showing on the MK Truck Tour. I doubt it’s an old E3 build, but who knows.
And I’m too impatient to wait a week! It’s MK!
Does anyone know what time demos usually drop on PSN? I’m not familiar with PS stuff…
I’ve heard it can be anywhere from 3pm EST to 10pm EST? Dunno though. I don’t use my PS3 very often.
Got to see it in action last night.
Quick notes:
4 characters: Scorp, Sub, Cage and Mileena
2 stages: Living Forest & the Pit 2
no announcer
1 fatality per character, 1 stage fatality
Single player and beating all 4 character will unlock an AWESOME montage video f/
gameplay, x-rays, fatalities and game modes never scene before.
PS- can someone get that riot cop a wet wipe?
does it have versus mode?
It’s up in case you didn’t know.

Shit is good.
Played 1 game with Scorpion. The controls have a good feel while using your character, much better than MK vs DC. Graphics and sound are spectacular. I think they did a good job so far.
Time to get ready for work.
That Montage after you complete the demo looks like shit, all grainy. I guess they wanted to save space and not put it in HD on the demo.
I did one x-ray after Sub Zero did one to me right as the 2nd round started, but didn’t get the fatality to come out and tried 2 matches. I guess I wasn’t standing in the right spot.
The power bars are confusing me. It seems they only go up when you get attacked or when one of your attacks gets blocked. This is on both streams. Am I right or just seeing things?
That kind of sucks, though I’m liking what I’m seeing so far out of the demo.
Hmm if that so than meter management can really develop a interesting meta game around it. Some games already do this but it seems MK focus on a trad off thing. Gain one thing at the price for another
one scenario you have one person who gaining health and momentum advantage by taking life away while the loser gains meter to ample some type of a comeback.
while another you have one who tries to protect their life bar while the offender gains meter for ammunition that can be use to exploit their defense.
This is really interesting design choice with spin that’s practice quite often but this time it with different rules. I hope people wont be quick to criticize it as it can develop into something possibly good.
Never knew first attack hits give you a free special bar.
Got 1 game in before I had to get ready for work. The game is solid, too bad I have to work 12 hours before I get to touch it again. I’m not worried about the final game one bit. I’m not a MK tourney player, so I’m not too concerned with the broken stuff if there is any. I just want a game with good controls. Going to pre-order now, but which one should I choose.

Leaning towards PS3 TE, just for the novelty of the arcade stick.
So what’s this I’m hearing about infinites already?
Really upsetting.

Aww shiiiiiit.
that really is but with this game meter design it may not be too bad, we still have breakers which in certain situation can lead to combos I think.
Also their still patches, which I’m confident NR will. ( the question that worries me is how will they do it? juggle system change? priority change?) Hows the game damage scale?
Two infinites found, the community it some-what banding together so they get fixed.
Not much they can do considering there’s only 4 characters to search with, but it helps the NRS team I guess and there’s a bit more than a month till release so I guess those 4 characters are going to be ironed out thanks to the community.
I personally don’t think I’ll be downloading the demo unless I hear enough bad things about it. I wanna let that epic feeling run through my body full force when I get the actual disc.
Oh, I’d love to see the patchless system Ed was talking about in action…
Edit: I guess more than 2. LOL.
