Mortal Kombat X - Official Launch Trailer

SFV barely looks a step above SFIV.

We've seen gameplay of both...
MKX clearly looks worse than SF5.
Unless they downgrade SF5(Which they most likely wont) SF5 is more technically pleasing.
That Bullshot of MKX STILL looks worse than the CGI trailer they first showed.

Wat.
Of course it's going to look worse than a goddamn CG trailer no matter how much time passes.

Oh come on. If you genuinely thought that was representative of what the game was going to be like, I want some of what you're smoking.

Are you talking actual versus gameplay or story mode cutscenes?
You do know they knock down the graphical fidelity in story mode right?

There is no denying SF5 is a good looking game, Beautiful infact but the Youtube compressed blurry videos of MKX don't do it justice at all. It's not as pretty as SF5 but it's not shabby.

My point wasn't to say either was better just to show the comparison for the two. I do think it's silly to say SF5 will be the best looking fighter this gen so early in however.
 
Was watching some streams of leaked copies earlier. You guys are going to enjoy the new crypt. It features 2 things I know gaf loves:
jump scares
and
spiders
.
 
SOAD for a MK trailer. It's like we're back in 2002. Perfect for Mortal Kombat.

Also, was that Onaga I spied? I thought MKX was sort of a retelling of MK4s events. Are we already past Deadly Alliance? MKXX to retell Deception / Armageddon's events, then?
 
Wat.

At the time of release, people thought the CGI trailer was gameplay....mainly due to the fact that the CGI trailer is poorly rendered.

Compared to the trash CGI, the bullshot pics still cant top it...

Its a CGI trailer, of course its going to look worse. Nothing in realtime is going to look better than a CGI trailer made with today's standards in mind.
 
I can't even believe they showed Tanya in that trailer.

That face is unacceptable. As bad as some of the faces look, Tanya's just takes the shit cake of horrible.

The trailer got me hype, though. It's going to be hard to resist watching people's story mode playthroughs.

I literally spoiled a majority of the story mode for myself.

It looks really good. The length is shorter than MK9, but longer than injustice.... but man it is a higher quality than Mk9.

Did you even think this through.

Bullshots are taken from the game, using in game assets at a stupid high resolution and then downsampled and edited so they look better.

CGI is higher poly models of in game assets with better textures in a more complex lighting engine rendered outside of real time.

Source filmmaker looks lightyears better than TF2 for example.

Well, the beginning is like MK4, but when we get to Cassie, Kung Jin, and Jacqui, we're 25 years into the future, so it's probably beyond even Armageddon at that point.

In terms of the chronology, yeah, but it seemed like they were kinda following the same general story progression as the old continuity, with MK9 being a retelling of MK1-3, and MKX looking to be a retelling of MK4, complete with
Quan Chi and Shinnok
as the big bads.
 
Twenty years later, people are still having MK vs. Street Fighter arguments.

Incredible.

What is dead may never die.

See also, Genny vs. SNES.

This is the dance of forever.

you can tell the cross-gen roots for sure.

I don't think there are any cross-gen roots, this game looks miles ahead of MK9, which has aged dreadfully. These characters are just made for fighting in mind and for making it so the game never drops below 60fps during gameplay, not for cut-scenes. The animation is really good during cut-scenes though, and I think that matters most.

I'm talking about actual gameplay.
MKX is incredibly detailed, however, on a technical level, MKX is dated.

Look at Johnny's Jacket...Why is it following his pose?...
latest
 
Anyone else stoked for this just for the story mode :X I loved MK9s....

Here.

I have no intention of playing the game seriously in a competitive fashion. I'll play the story mode and do unlocks and maybe some casual online stuff, but yeah. Story mode is my primary motivation for purchasing it.
 
The fact that this thread has become a Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat thread is lame

The trailer was amazing and I can't wait to finally have the game next week

No just generic Oni bad guys.

Quan Chi and Shang Tsung make an alliance and kill Shao Kahn and Liu Kang. Everyone dies, then Raiden travels back in time and fights Quan Chi, Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn again. Then Shang Tsung is killed, followed by Shao Kahn and Liu Kang, then Quan Chi tries to conquer Earthrealm, then revives Shang Tsung and now they're making an alliance again and ah now I've gone cross-eyed.

Why isn't Noob Saibot featured in this? Game breaker for me.

Worse than that, no Rain. A krime against humanity.
 
I am pretty sad at how bad the character models look, especially in cutscenes. Game doesn't seem to look terrible in motion (actual fight scenes), though, so there's that.
 
By the way, you guys suck. Between the hype here and that hype movie theme trailer I am having a really REALLY hard time not pre-ordering.

I wish they would just come out and guarantee high quality PC net code. It's the only thing holding me back, but it's kind of a really big deal with a fighting game.

Agreed

Ed Boon said the netcode is "better", but that means diddly dick to me, I need more details.

I posted a direct feed uncompressed vid of the MKX Trailer but I don't think anyone checked it out. Game looks nice - https://mega.co.nz/#!WdhnyBrD!8qTuQ1v_YTanlqRyubYTUaGTZFehbpMynVxEd2Yk-fk
