Yeah it seemed like story wise they set up MK 10 to follow the MK4 onward events which would be a terrible idea. Thought the whole point of MK 9 was to go back to the drawing board and bring back in the old fans. It was bad enough they felt the need to include Quan Chi.

Well, the new storyline should change things around a bit. MK4 back then started with Kitana and Sindel returning things to normal on Edenia, only to have Tanya betray them by letting Quan Chi and Shinnok pass through Edenia.

With Kitana and Sindel dead (and well, nearly every character) Quan Chi and Shinnok are mostly free to do their own thing (since Shao Kan was also killed). Some characters might return, but with tons of differences Scorpion learns that Quan Chi killed his family during the MK4 story; so..who knows.

Current gen only please you old man

I love MK characters, fatalities, story mode, lore and the nostalgia factor. But I wish the Gameplay didn't feel so stiff and janky to me. Note I had this issue since the very first MK. But I guess I can overlook look the core Gameplay cause I love the franchise for other reasons which is weird. My biggest request would be for MK to not play like MK, which of course the fans will not like so I guess I'm in the minority.

Agreed. I still will play them but everything is so janky and stiff and unrealistic that sometimes it is hard. On the other hand killing peeps, superheroes, and Scorpion can't be argued with.

These have nothing to do with MK but damn, this thread is delivering

Well, there was nothing in MK9 that would have stopped Shinnok from entering the picture so I‘m glad that happened. But this time with a bunch of characters dead (Liu Kang defeated Shinnok in MK4), things will obviously play out differently.

[Bjoern the Smexy]

OMG YES!!!
I hope it's not next-gen only. At least give us a PC version earlier than with MK9.

 

[Recall]

Welp.

Its mostly likely more DC comic jank

 

[enzo_gt]

Welp.

Pre-E3 reveal confirmed confirmed.

 

[Mocca-Bear]

This means that Ed Boon on the E3 Bombcast is practically confirmed right?

He's still scarred after spending too much time in the Lang Zone during the GDC show.

 

[Jaeger]

MKX. Yes.

 

[Surface of Me]

Mortal Kombat 10 will not be at E3.


Mortal Kombat X will, though.

Kandyse McClure, Jennifer Love Hewitt

Wut? Really? Doesn't look like Jennifer.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Nice hope Reiko returns this time.

 

[dark10x]

OK, Ed Boon, that's funny and clever.

 

[dampflokfreund]

Mario Kart X generic realistic racer confirmed?

 

[Piccoro]

Stop with the tweets already and show us Mortal Kombat 10.
Everyone knows that's it!

What I'm getting from this is a free MKX car with the day 1 preorder of MK10.

But you need to buy the season pass to unlock different parts of the car to work, like the engine, tires, brakes, etc.




Mortal Kombat!!!!!!!

I'm Koming all over my face.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

No.

Ed Boon is the ultimate troll and one of the most awesome people in the industry..he basically added a character named after him in his games (Noob Saibot...)

Well let us wait for E3 to see what he will show us

 

[ArtHands]

X stands for XboxOne (exclusivity)

 

[-Cwalat-]

Hahahahahaha!

 

[Fasty]

Am I the only one who thought the character models and animation in MK9 looked awesome (especially the masked characters, especially especially Scorpion)?

Injustice on the other hand... ugh

 

[Razia]

Injustice definitely had better animation than MK 9.

 

[The Flash]

I've only recently gotten into fighting games but I'll definitely pick up the next MK.

 

[Fasty]

I completely disagree! Look at their capes, it's a joke!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KrPWPaDiF4#t=42

I think they struggled with making powers and features unique to superheroes work in a fighting game. MK characters were designed from the ground up to be fighting game characters so they don't have things like capes or do things like fly around stiffly in the air.

 

[Kid Ska]

He's just showing off his new whip, guys. Calm down.

raiden has a cape on his alt and plenty of the tied belts had the same issue.

What? The animations are wonderful. I agree the capes are off, but there are only like a few characters with capes and it doesn't nullify the actual character animations.

Mileena

Mileena is incredibly stiff. Look at her legs.

However if there's one thing these two videos show, it's the NRS doesn't know how to make proper hitboxes.

 

[Chip N Chance]

I think that post of the car Boon made is maybe a little too on the nose. I would have rather been surprised.

 

[Tinzo]

Can't wait to see next gen fatalities.

 

[Some Nobody]

No.

#teaminjusticemortalkombat

Let go, that game would be garbage. Those characters have no business interacting with each other.

 

[Eirulan]

They're skipping Mario Kart 9?

LOL

So, Mortal Kombat 10 is coming... very welcome - I really liked their last games.

 

[Poofynamanama]

I remember those MK flash dances. so good lol

Heh, I was actually going to use Mileena as another example of a character's animation that I liked :/ Must just be a taste thing I guess.

 

[Pyramid head]

I think they look overdesigned and cluttered as hell. There's no restraint at all. It's like the designers were told not to leave an inch of the character left without some sort of pattern, detail or little flourish.

The female characters were all square jaws and bad boob jobs from what I remember.

 

[Poofynamanama]

I actually agree with the battle damage point. They should either make it more subtle or give the option of turning it off.

The over the top amount of blood is fine by me.

there's an option for "no blood." lots of competitive players use it.

 

[Crawl]

Mario Kart 10?

 

[grkazan12]

I wish they would just go back to flat colors for characters and especially the ninjas. Call me weird, but I love that these normal looking ninjas can have such fantastical powers.

They'll be there, you just have to pay extra for them.

Or be exclusive to a random vita version.

Still pretty pissed.
