Mortal Kombat XI
 

Welp! This one should be pretty crazy.

I'm hyped, but I wish they'd make a horror fighting game as well because I have a feeling we'll get those characters as DLC like every other game has in the past.

Check out the In-Game Screenshots.

So now they're going to be fighting their past selves? I'm kind of ok since the MK reboot had already screwed up the timeline anyhow so why not go crazy.

Well Deadly Alliance started with the subtitles but still had a prominent V hidden in the cover. After that the fandom/Ed Boon has still referred to the sequels as numbered entries even when they don't have them in the games. MKX is the tenth game (since it counts MKvDC as 8 but for some reason Trilogy isn't). I'm sure this won't be called XI once it comes out tho.

Trilogy is an update for MK3, so it doesn't count as separate game.

MKvsDC had started development as MK8, before being converted to crossover. And for some reason developers still refer to it as eighth installment in the series.

They're not calling it XI even now :P it's 11

Here's the Live Stream for the Mortal Kombat 11 Reveal

Definitely did not expect Skarlet.

Ew.

Looks like they're announcing the first DLC character today.

Personally, I'm a fan of guest characters so I'd be perfectly fine with the rumors of Spawn or Pennywise.

Shang Tsung has been announces as the 1st DLC Character. Plus he will be your Guide in the Krypt.

That's Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprising his role as Shang Tsung.

Terminator, Spawn and the Joker are the guest characters in the game.

Everyone's favorite man with the amazing voice Keith David is reprising as Spawn

It’s official! I will be the voice of #Spawn in #MK11.

Terminator has been released in MK11 and, honestly, he is a crap in my opinion.
He is basically slow grappler with very little unique and interesting moves.

He is only interesting special is where, after losing 70% of his life, he rises up as the endoskeleton, with his flesh burning away. But this move is so hilariously useless and bad, that it's not worth to use.

Otherwise his arsenal are just some generic grabs and throws, partially reused from Jason and Kotal Khan from MKX. If it was not for his appearance, voice and references his moveset could really belong to anyone.

Overall, disappointing guest. And hi is the only guest I was expecting.

Now waiting for Sindel.

I'm just waiting on Spawn. Will probably play with him for a week and put it back down.

True... but that is pretty much the most we could hope for, unless you wanted all his punches to be replaced by shooting guns. This was probably the best they could do without ruining him and having Arnold do all sorts of backflips and bicycle kicks and such nonsense.

God damn did I play this game a lot in 2019.

Can't wait for Spawn in March and as much as the Joker seemed like an unnecessary choice, his gameplay trailer and pre-fight dialogue has been fun.

Here's hoping for a Joaquin Pheonix style skin.

Rambo added as the new guest character to MK11.

I hate all these guest characters but from what I was told it's thanks to them that DLC sells a lot so I guess if Rambo joining MK for no reason means we get a few more MK characters it's ok. Still weird to see all the females covered up in a MK game, hopefully by the time MK12 comes out that trend has passed.

The book First Blood is the tragic story of the trauma of war can stick with you until you die, effectively meaning the war is never over for you.

Now the main character of said book is fighting over the top aliens and fantasy martial artists alongside the Terminator and Spawn.

Something's not quite right here.

Its a video game

Ed Boon said they were moving away from sexualizing the women. That's why they're all mostly covered up now, if you compare the outfits from MK9 from 2011 to now it's a world of difference.

Mortal Kombat is woke now, which is ironic since the series rose to fame based on extreme violence. Same reason Jacqui (Jax's daughter from the future), was brought back despite her unpopularity in the franchise because she's a strong independent black female who needs no man.

Mortal Kombat is owned by AT&T not Disney, they'll do whatever is popular at the time MK12 is likely 3 years away at the earliest so we can wait and see what the trend is by then. Ed Boon is just a yes man in the end and has to follow whatever he is told to do. Non sexualized MK isn't mortal kombat. I can see MK going back to its roots, let's see what direction the movie goes for and if it's successful MK12 will go that direction.

They definitely went overboard with the outfits for the women in this version though they're so covered up it doesn't even look like they can fight well, especially when you have Street Fighter doing the opposite having their characters with fanservice. Looks ridiculous on MK though because it's like taking blood out of a future MK game. I'm kind of glad Jacqui came back though I liked the Kombat Kids from MKX.

You know who I would like to see joining the roster? Casey Jones from the 1990 movie. He sure can fight.

I would except I'm in no rush to see Elias get his entrails ripped out in realistic HD.

According to NRS, guest characters sell the most out of DLC chars.

I think you should take the issue with Rambo sequels, they were the ones that turned anti-war character into ACTION SUPER SHOOTY SHOOTY MAN.
MK just takes the most known incarnation of a character.

Ironically they got rid of the only openly gay character in a series, Kung Jin, to make place for angry black woman with a boring gameplay.

If lil' Johnny sees Scorpion tearing his opponent to bloody shreds, using his guts as a rope, it won't harm lil' Johnny.
If lil' Johnny sees boobs he will become RAPIST PERVERT SEXIST WOMAN BEATER!!

Seriously. We need to get away from this pretense that guys (or anyone, really) don't like looking at good-looking, under-dressed women. Of course we do. The "White Knight" stuff needs to stop. Especially when chicks get all the beefcake they want, but men looking at scantily-clad females is "toxic". :roll:

I actually like that Kitana is Asian now (at least in terms of look, in reality she's from Edenia), whereas she never looked like that in past games.

Also Sonya's new outfit fits her better than any of the old ones and Cassie is great. Jade also looks the best she ever did, don't care for the hood/muslim default outfit but the secondary one with her long hair is great.
