Mortal Kombat X - CG trailer (PC/360/XB1/PS3/PS4, 2015, E3 Debut, Box Art, Info, UE3)

I'm pretty optimistic that it wasn't CG.

offline rendered/path traced. Sub-zero alone must be a couple million polygons

His level of detail is insane, i don't think we're getting anywhere close to this.
thanks blim
 

Is that real box art it looks too simply and plain to me

I'm not really sure how it took confirmation that it was CGI for a lot of GAF to see that it was CGI. GAF really is slipping.


Disagree. The all black background looks cheap, and Scorpion being the only character on the cover is too vague unless you're already a fan. It just looks like a random character render placed on the box. Hardly impressive box art.

I would love this but there is no way this is the final boxart. Odds are it will be obnoxious and containing as much information as possible like most western boxart. Understating is not allowed.

yeah most likely a placeholder box to put on stores, its funny how all these games that are now being revealed that will come out probably late 2015 already have boxarts? :D

I see Subzero continues to get his ass kicked in promotional videos. Regardless I loved the trailer and I hope to see the current gen version at E3. And yeah song didn't work for me.
 
While I think some of the trailer is CG, I bet that the 2D stuff is fairly close to what we'll get, with the CG added win. Also, just heard the song, y'all who are complaining are crazy.

Cross-gen games be damned.
Some people don't understand why this is a problem, for two reasons imo.
A) Prevents some people from crossing over and buying the Next Gens.
B) Why we won't see anything truly ground breaking till developers let go of previous Gen and focus on the Power of the Next platform.

Anyway,
so this vid is cgi? *sigh... smh
Damn, I thought it could've been ingame for the New consoles :(
Oh well, cannot wait, love me Mortal Kombat.

Everything looks amazing but that box art. Really hope its not final, looks amateur-ish.

Some people (like me) can't afford next gen just yet, and should still be getting at least some games sent their way. It was nice when it happened on the PS2 (kept getting games until 2010 I believe), and it's nice that it's happening on the PS3.

It's an announcement trailer, gotdamn.

Are you aware that Mortal Kombat X is coming after viewing the trailer?

If yes, trailer succeeded.

If no, trailer failed.

Mortal Kombat X combines cinematic presentation with all new gameplay to deliver the most brutal Kombat experience ever, offering a new fully-connected experience that launches players into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy. For the first time, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style.

Colour me intrigued!

Wouldn't be a GAF thread without the usual remedial members and their "huehuehue gaiz gaiz rap=crap! I'm so wits!" posts.

Stay in school kids.

You. I like you.


Anyway, this trailer was beautiful--although I think it could've given us more hints about the story, it's also "lolfighting" so a lot of people don't care. Also, Sub Zero will always be a chump in these games, I guess.
 
I'm amazed anybody thought that CG trailer was in game. Especially this far from release. Some people are seriously over-estimating the power of their new consoles.

I don't understand why people were expecting a full blowout for a game that is probably more than a year away AND gets teased a week before E3.
 
Unreal Engine 3 ?

Seriously ?

yeah wtf? When will UE4 finally take off? But then again they had to go UE3 because they decided to go cross gen.

This game will bomb on last gen and WB will find out the hard way, they should look at next gen console sales and the trends, performance of cross gen games like Watch Dogs for which the next gen versions have almost 80 percent marketshare.

Seriously. Did Ben forget that E3 is next week? Plus IGN is doing a more extensive reveal later next week AFAIK.

I wasn't expecting a massive reveal when they were just doing an official announcement. Plus Boon and Co. at least had the good taste not to hawk pre-order bonuses and Season Passes alongside it.

my guess is all the pre-E3 stuff is happening as lots of news probably gets lost in the E3 flurry. Might as well announce a week early and get some early buzz.

Devs have spent too much time and money customizing UE3 for their needs to waste money on an UE4 license and then throw away all the time and money they spent on customizing UE3. Most UE3 games now are on a custom version of the engine that might as well not be UE3 anymore.
