That reveal was pretty great. This is the only game that whenever they reveal something new I consistently get excited, joyful, and disgusted all at once watching what they've done. Watching mkx reveals and mk11 reveals brought me the same feeling I had playing mk2 as a kid where you're like "omg this is so gory and awesome!" They find so many new and creative ways to mutilate people and it's honestly beautiful. Murderous art.
All that to say the playable kharacters so far: Sub zero Scorpion Raiden Skarlet Geras Sonya Blade Shao Khan Kabal
Forgot one.^^^ Also I am still torn on Switch vs. PS4 for this. I know I'll take a slight graphics hit but I realllllly want a true Mortal Kombat mobile/portable game.
yeah wow was going off memory and that was the main add i was happy about. always loved baraka since mk2. since it's just us two who care about this game (though i suspect Odin will come in this thread soon enough to shit on it ), who from the last game would you like to see back -- new character and/or previous character not in mkx? i've always been fond of noob and rain, but as a wholely new character i took to, i would love to see erron black again. highly enjoyed being a gunslinger, plus he kept me tied over for a year when i was still waiting on the RDR2 announcement.
I liked the young characters Takeda and Kung Jin a lot. Cassie was cool too. Baraka would have been my biggest add and he's already in. The other was also teased and that's my MK3 main Kabal. Would love to see Frost (duh) and then maybe Sindel and Knightwolf. But I'd be good with just Kabal of all of those.
Browsing Twitter and overall impressions of switch version at pax are good. If that holds up, I may go with it.
I haven't seen anything about modes or fighters. Just that it's running 60fps but gotta wonder about graphics hit. Most people saying it's noticeable but not bad and still very enjoyable. At PAX they've only seen it in handheld mode and not docked.
I just went on mk11 site and it has pc switch xbox and ps4 listed for standard edition, but only xbox and ps4 for premier and collectors editions, which include the dlcs. So I'm worried they wont develop DLC for switch.
Really want switch version but lack of gameplay footage has me concerned this close to launch. Wish theyd release prior to launch so I can get preorder bonus.
It might be fine they just might not want it to "mix in" so the best footage is all out there for marketing purposes. So if you share a video and it looks a little worse - no one thinks that's the PS4 version or whatever. So I'm still holding out hope Switch version is good, hopefully.
i'd think they'd let IGN and other do a comparison video prior. other games have done that in the past.
wow on first watch i thought he hammered his head out of his ass. very disappointed it was just lower back, could've been one of the best fatalities ever.
Looks fine... i still would like to read a review though and see how well it actually plays. framerate issues, any other problems. i didn't do pc for mkx but i know they got burned pretty bad.
The theme was written before the movie soundtrack. The Immortals published an entire album based on the first game. Each fighter had a theme song. The main theme then was adapted to the movie and beyond. And of course...
Pssssshhhh his theme song isn't as good. But really I was just sharing the original album which if you haven't heard it is quite....interesting.
Spoiler was just watching a youtube guy playing and it shows frost as a blacked out character, so i'm assuming it's a story thing that unlocks her. probably never announced because of that. IGN spoiled i'm sure.
The concerning thing about ign's review was about the randomized krypt and rewards. That sounds terrible
that and the towers of time sound pretty bad currently. i've seen a couple other reviews mentioning towers of time being very hard a lot of the time due to ridiculous modifier combos. i wouldn't be shocked to see them tweak that some after criticisms though. krypt they probably won't.
