New mortal kombat is coming

I fucking love you.

lol if you cant understand that the entire presentation of mortal kombat, then and now, is based on shit 13 year old boys amped up on their first supply of testosterone think looks cool. i mean come on dude, over-muscled ninjas and half-naked women ripping limbs off each other? the rating might say “mature” but it’s hardly fucking citizen kane is it.

I had access to the internet in 1992 but I had to log into my friend’s BBS to get there haha

Mortal Kombat up next!

You have killed me.* You are my death.*

How many people here besides the two of us even know what the hell you just said? :rofl:
Old school days of MUDs and manually configuring IRQ and Baud to get games to connect. It’s nice that it’s easy, but it also sucks that most people will never have had to put any effort into connecting their multiplayer sessions.

Saw the gamespot stream. MK9 looks* boss*. No lie.

With 2v2 Kombat, new dynamics are brought into the game with assists, EX assists and swap-in attacks, which you can use to open up entirely new mix and match combo possibilities that just don’t exist in 1v1, pretty much making MK9 1.5 fighting games. This 2v2 is completely different to UMK3’s 2v2.

Even if 1v1 sucks, there could be a brokenness in 2v2 akin to MvC in there that could be hella fun. There’s a lot to this MK. I’m liking it.

Bah gawd, the new MK is looking mighty sexy! I just watched the footage on Gamespot’s stream(hopefully they keep an archive of it). The gameplay looks pretty smooth so far, and the new mechanics all look like they fit well in the 2D engine. The “bone breaker” thing is just a really damaging super. Though, it looks like you can combo after some of them which could lead to some really nasty combos.

In any case, I am officially HYPE~!

So hype. 9 more months :(((((((((((

MK9 looks bleh, imo.

3D MK on a 2D plane.

For real, it’s finally time to start taking MK seriously again. It’s been too long.

I’m so hype for this game. I think I’m gonna get a stick made up for it.

Wuh?
I mean, the character models are 3D, but I don’t get why that matters? (Other than the obvious lack of awesome digitized graphics).

I think it looks pretty awesome. I mean, to me it looks like MK2 Super Turbo edition. I’m a fan so far.

I breathed a sigh of relief when they mentioned that characters would have more individuality in terms of normals and play style.

Holy shit, they are literally doing EVERYTHING right with this game so far.

It looks fucking nice as hell.

lmao i just got done telling someone this is Super MK2

it just looks and feels like they took the gameplay from especially MKvDC and kept in on a 2d plane.

I do hope it works, and ends up being serious. but we needed a UMK3 2. :frowning:

Minus the lack of RUN button and that dumb meter.

Don’t you realise how much of an improvement keeping the gameplay on a 2d plane alone is? It’s losing a freaking dimension. Think about it.

So, okay, maybe the meter is inherently not very MK, but I like how they’ve implemented it. It’s what I’d expect from an MK ‘super’ bar. It looks like it could feel very natural to this new gameplay.

Honestly, I can accept that they’re going in a different direction from UMK3 with this game, despite UMK3 being boss as hell.

This game looks like it’s going to be a totally solid game for different reasons than UMK3.
