New Mortal Kombat game for PS3 and X360 - Page 2

**Shredder** · 06-11-2010, 12:57 AM

This is looking great so far! I love the MK series, but the more recent games with their awkward combos and switching between fighting styles just haven't felt the same as the glory days of MK2 (or even 3). I'm liking the more 2D approach and am looking forward to finding out more about this game.

Oh, and Twisted Metal Black definitely deserves a sequel. I still hold out hope, even if it's unlikely at this point.

I'm wondering what we'll see in terms of new characters. There have been a lot of new ones in the more recent games that have been absolute rubbish.

Speaking of which, it seems Kira and Li Mei are chained up in Shao Kahn's arena, where Sonya and Kano were back in MKII.

*sdp* · 06-11-2010, 10:21 AM

What do you mean?

actual new characters? for some reason I think we'll have very few like maybe only 4 which is disappointing but they'll fill the roster with classic characters like SF4 did.

new characters from the already released 3D games? Again like SF4 I think we'll only see 2 or 3 of the very iconic/popular ones like Quan Chi and Frost.

Which kinda sucks, I like seeing new characters and I hated how SF4 ignored almost everyone who wasn't SF2 and left out awesome Alpha/SF3 characters. They did fix it a bit with SSF4 but meh it still needed more SF4 and actual new characters.

The 3D games characters have definitely grown on me, at least most, theres still a few I hate like BoRaiCho but then again the original games also had some pretty lame ones like Nightwolf.

Another thing I first hated about the 3D games I actually give them a lot of credit for now. I hated how they made all the ninja/color palette characters different without their iconic costumes but then I realized it made no sense for them all to wear the same outfit since they were not related anyways. Sure it was cool having multicolored ninjas but they were not related so no reason to have them wear the same costumes and look the same.

Yeah, I meant what sort of brand new, never before-seen characters. I didn't like most of the ones introduced in 4 and up (although there were some diamonds in the rough), so I'm wondering if they introduce anybody, y'know, worthwhile.

So far it looks like some of their newer characters from the 3D games might be relegated to the background. Time will tell.

SF4's initial wank to the entire SF2 roster in the arcade kind of irked me, yeah, but with the home version and eventually SSF4, it became better. SSF4 is better for the brand new characters, too, because even though it only introduced two, they're immensely popular. Heck, I've even appropriated Juri as one of my two mains.

Three's cast was pretty lame as well, but I totally dug Kabal and the cyber-Lin Kuei guys.

Right. It does make perfect sense, after all, now that there aren't as many limitations. And also consider the fact that, technically, Scorpion is the only ninja of the bunch (Sub-Zero I/II and Smoke are Lin Kuei, and SZI took a lot of offense at being called a ninja).

I hope there's like 2 new characters and they're both just palette swaps. Please, God. Fulfill this dream!

redsai4lex · 06-16-2010, 01:47 AM

I can't wait for this game to come out... I'm gonna get it for my PS3, and I will gladly challenge anyone on this forum who knows how to play Mortal Kombat games... Long live MK!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-16-2010, 02:02 AM

Played it at Warner today. Its Mortal Kombat 2 in 3D. This is amazing.

*Ninjinister* · 12-11-2010, 08:58 PM

*TheCanadiandrome* · 12-12-2010, 05:45 PM

so now we know the exclusive character for the PS3 version. wonder what it'll be for the 360?

*The Stryker* · 12-12-2010, 07:09 PM

The answer to that question is: Who Cares.

Peanut · 12-12-2010, 11:42 PM

I hope the answer is nobody.

**Barkworm** · 12-12-2010, 11:49 PM

To be fair, Kratos seems like a really good fit for MK.

*XERO* · 12-13-2010, 01:36 AM

Kratos is too good for MK.

Hell, his basic combo IS a Fatality.

*Brodie* · 12-13-2010, 12:58 PM

Apparently theres talks of retailer exclusive fatalities. I don't even know how that'd work.

*XERO* · 12-13-2010, 01:39 PM

As long as it's better than that Kreate-A-Fatality crap they thought of before.

It's just pre-packaged DLC, I'm sure, just like the costumes they come with.

I've been waiting for this reboot since last year, it should bring the series back on it's feet.

deadpoolRKO · 03-22-2011, 07:09 AM

i have playstation plus and i've been playing the Demo for this , it's pretty awesome. The character designs are pretty different from previous games , and they added some awesome gameplay features and special moves.
