Mister Jack Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 A new Mortal Kombat will soon be upon us. Who else is looking forward to it? If you haven't been following it, here's a gameplay video with Mileena. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDiDndE754Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 One of the games I'm looking forward to the most. Thankfully, all my PS3 buddies are getting it, so I'll have a chance to play it as well. Don't care if the game has less balance than SNK vs Capcom.

Mister Jack Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I like the idea of adding assist characters. Also, I heard a rumor (currently unsubstantiated) that the 360 version is going to have a character in an effort to balance the PS3 version's Kratos. I can't imagine who they'd have who could really mix it up with the MK crowd though. I mean Kratos is a bad mother fucker so I can easily see him working, but I dunno about the 360 side.

Cyber Rat Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Master Chief? He'd fit ok with Cyrax and Sektor as the "Green robot who is not a robot". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 See I don't see Master Chief as someone who could really hold his own against the MK cast without his guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 The mortal kombatants would eat master chief alive. Literally. Maybe they should stick one of the gears of war bros in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Aren't Spartans like super badass in hand to hand as well? And speaking of Spartans, I don't think even Kratos could hold his own against the MK cast. It took him what? 3 games to kill off the Olympian pantheon? The MK kast kills off deities on a weekly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah they're super badass, but we're talking about people who will impale you on a magic spear and then burn you alive with fire from a god damn skeleton face. It's a little out of the Chief's league. And the only reason Kratos took that long is because those bitches kept trying to run away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 The only fighters Kratos could beat up are Stryker and Johnny Cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I haven't played an MK game since 4 on the N64. I wonder if the AI is finally decent because it was super crappy cheap in the old games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wow, someone really doesnt like kratos....... Well lots of people, but none delusional enough t not admit hes a powerful character, more powerful than all of the gods really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Dude killed the concept of fucking TIME as the greeks knew it because he didn't like the way his life ended up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Nah, I'm cool with Kratos. But dude is nothing out of the ordinary in MK. He kills divinities, everyone else kills divinities. He's brutal, everyone else is brutal. He was just the only one of his kind in his game, so everyone was, of course "HOLY SHIT DUDE YOU FUCKING MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD". If you put him in MK, I'm guessing the rest of the cast would be "Oh, look, a Spartan with a brick in his jaw. Might as well do something before dinner." Seriously, if he was originally an MK character I would have put him on my scrappy list with the likes of Kenshi and Fujin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm actually looking forward to this. I don't know that I've said that about a MK game since MK3, and MK3 was tits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't been following it, here's a gameplay video with Mileena. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDiDndE754Y Glad to see Mileena shops at the same store where Ivy from Soul Calibur gets her outfits. At least it seems like they are getting back to the classic 2D gory fighting roots of MK, instead of either trying that 3D fighting space or toning down brutality to fight superheroes.

I've to agree here Shepard. I'm super excited to see MK back to its gory roots. I played MK vs DCU, and while I thought it was somewhat fun (unlike many reviewers), it was definitely not the MK that everyone knows and loves. I'm can't wait to see how this shapes up to be.

staySICK Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 so who has Playstation Plus? I want to check out that demo, but damn. Hopefully it comes to us unwashed masses soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I have plus, but everyone's getting it the week after Plus gets it. So you should be fine if you have a PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteer01 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) I like the idea of adding assist characters. Also, I heard a rumor (currently unsubstantiated) that the 360 version is going to have a character in an effort to balance the PS3 version's Kratos. I can't imagine who they'd have who could really mix it up with the MK crowd though. I mean Kratos is a bad mother fucker so I can easily see him working, but I dunno about the 360 side. Don't forget that Microsoft bought Rare, and I can see some of the Killer Instinct cast fitting in well in a Mortal Kombat game. Actually, Orchid's "flash" finishing move would fit in well with Mortal Kombat. A fatality with immature nudity for the sake of nudity to go along with fatalities filled with over the top violence and gore for the sake of violence and gore. Not sure if Rare/Microsoft would want a KI character in MK, but I think that'd be a better match than any other Microsoft IP I can think of. Tentatively interested in this game, but basically just as something fun to play with a friends online before going back to SSFIV. Even if it turns out to be surprisingly good, I don't see Japan having much of an online community for this game...if it even comes out here.

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 The only fighters Kratos could beat up are Stryker and Johnny Cage. Everyone can beat up Johnny Cage. That guy's like a running gag. In almost every MK cutscene, and the live action short that went up last year, dude's getting the shit beaten out of him/murdered.

Thursday Next Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Kratos is pretty much a perfect fit for the franchise. Not played an MK in yeeeeeeaaaaaars. So I'm rather looking forward to the demo. 4 fighters and two arenas are probably enough that I won't need to buy the game (I've never really gotten into fighters except Tekken and Fighter's Destiny). Especially when two of the fighters (Sub Zero & Scorpion) are the iconic characters in the series. I can pretty much be happy playing as either of them and wailing on Johnny Cage for quite some time.

Cyber Rat Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm actually gonna try and main Johnny Cage. It will make victories all the more sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 If you're in Oz tough luck. MK is not only banned but importing it can earn you upto 11k in fines. Oh and of course customs will confiscate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Played the demo today with a bunch of friends. I'm really liking how the game plays and am surprised that Cage is not nearly as useless as he used to be. Oh, and Sub-Zero's moves are so slow...
