Mortal Kombat 10 Gameplay E3 2014

MK9 revised everything up to MK3's storyline, So MKX will probably continue on with MK4, which was Shinnok's story. If they decide to go on, they'll probably bring back Onaga, but I don't think that the Deadly Alliance will happen since
there's no Shang Tsung storywise
. The new characters are there likely to fill out the roster because half of the roster in MK9
was murdered by Sindel
, so until they can come back, they'll need more people.

While that applies to the story, I don't know how much of it applies to the full game... I suspect much of the classic cast will be playable in arcade matches. I just don't see NRS removing so many characters entirely.

Plus they've resurrected characters before.

One of my most anticipated games so far all in all, I just hope it lives up to the standard MK9 set with the quality of the story, depth of single player content etc.

RT @derwood1979: @noobde MK X looks solid. Dark & creepy. Like the character specific intros EB: Yea, every character talks to each other.

Pulling an ASW? I love it already

This is a small thing, but it has always bugged a lot of people and I'm glad they finally gave it a proper animation.

What am I looking for here? Just how his animation makes getting up look laborious?

Big MK fan but this didn't do much for me.

The original trailer set the bar too high. These companies have to stop with the CG trailers. Everything looks like a huge downgrade after.

The new characters and environments just don't feel like MK to me. It felt more like Killer Instinct.

I do like how it looked more like actual fighting but I don't know if that will translate into fun gameplay.

looks like a high-fidelity version of MK9... which is awesome. MK9 for me fights it out pound for pound against MK3 as the best in the series.

Much less execution requirements than other fighters on the market.

Or more if you are used to other fighters on the market in my opinion.

"ugh when's the latest I can input the second button of this string?"

"ugh I can't hit confirm anything without putting out the unsafe part of my string"

How's the learning curve of Mortal Kombat?

Very small. But when you do end up playing higher level players, they WILL overwhelm you with offense and frame traps. But still the meter management in MK9 is the best I've seen in any fighting game so as long as you play your cards right with managing your meter you'll get a chance to retaliate.

Getting a big Killer Instinct vibe from the video ... which is no bad thing I suppose.

Probably the camera and long arena's.
 
Man this game,,,,

at first i was like WTF

2nd and 3rd watch sold, think its one of those let it sink first type of games

but people are funny especially on TYM

"Looks nothing like MK9, dont like the new looks or chars, im out"

and

"MK9 reskinned with new char and Inj Intractable's, im out"


i know opinions and all that but come this is just Bipolar opposite!

I really hope the loading times will be more like those in MK9 than Injustice - even loading up character models takes ages in the latter.

Tha game can't come soon enough - very excited to get back into the MK Mythos (always my favourite fighting series)

Looks fucking awesome, it's a shame the Wii U has no 3rd party support or I'd buy this.

So hype for this game. I think the new characters look amazing. With the strange characters it will probably take place more in outworld than earth.

People hated c.viper when they first showed her because she looked kinds like a kof character but now everyone is used to her and doesn't think twice.

People will get used to the new characters and they will become staple mk characters in time.

War god looks dope. But where is my boy reptile boon!

New Scorpion's got a fireball, a counter, and an AA grab plus a psycho crusher that looks to go over lows. Counterpick to last gen Kabal's moveset?

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
new characters were the best part of the trailer, up until they showed up I was like "yay its scorpion and subzero...again"

and I just dont understand the "new characters feel out of place" comments, in a series with lizard men, giant 4 armed dudes, centaurs and cyborgs

I hope it's them actually playing it and not just B roll.

I want to see the character select screen and UI.
