Looks like MK. Nothing wrong with that. I'm down with some Scorpion. Here's hoping there's no wager system.

And yet you play Street Fighter 4 where Cody can just pick a knife up off the floor...hypocrit.

I really dislike them as well. They just feel disjointed during matches.
Every character should have a knife they can pick up off the floor.

And.... people think that trailer was gameplay.

Since MKX reveal was a disappointment, is it too late to change the title?

With today's graphics cards and SLI/Crossfire anything is possible. Not to mention the fact that Netherrealm probably has the best financial backing of any fighting game developer.
I thought it was gameplay at first. It probably isn't, but I won't work myself up over a trailer.
Maybe a disappointment for you, not everybody. I'm thrilled to see the new art direction, and still just hyped in general that a new MK is coming out. The series may be flawed, forever, in every game, but there isn't a fighting series I've enjoyed more.
Color swapped ninjas forever.
Color swapped ninjas forever.
I like the new designs. The costumes and lighting aren't super dark so I can actually see the characters on a dark stage like the forest.
The animations look a ton better as well.
I've never been a fan of internal organs and bones shattering but them fighting just fine, but that's MK so its whatever.
I warmed up to the idea of interactables in Injustice, so I'm happy to see them in MKX.
Ugh why Wiz Khalifa?
Overall I'm cautiously optimistic on MKX. I hated MK9 with a deep passion but if they can fix things like the animations, the design of female faces, removing recovery frames when releasing block, and defining the corners of each stage clearly I'll be perfectly happy giving MKX a shot. Given their improvements with Injustice I'm willing to bet that NRS is quickly learning from their mistakes.

i haven't watched the latest episode of game of thrones yet so i hope you're not implying something here.

I honestly think it could be gameplay. Ryse has similar gameplay speed and graphics, doesn't it?

MK9's meter system was probably the best meter system I've seen in modern fighters. I'm ok with them keeping that aspect of MK9 and burning everything else to the ground.

Anything is possible, this isn't. Maybe the end game will look like this, but there is no way you can get that from this trailer.
Go watch the MK9 trailers, they are pretty much exactly the same thing. Heck you could go watch the MK movie at this point, it'll tell you just as much about what MKX will look like.

In MK9 after you block an attack you can release block immediately, there's no unblocking frames.
While the trailer looks pre-rendered, the side-view implies that this is gameplay (much like the initial SFxT video between Ono and Harada) footage (at least, the side scrolling parts).
I admit this is pure speculation on my part. We'll have to wait and see if this is actually close to gameplay.
I definitely thought the animation was an improvement over MK9. Hopefully it won't throw off timing/feel for MK9 players.
I also see weapons. Granted, they can be considered interactables, but the implication to me was that it was something that could be picked up and used, not have just a one-time usage.
Dhalsim vs Hugo is like...
I saw it, but SPOILERS DUDE.

I'm hype for MKX. Loved MK9.
Interactables and a possible weapons system I'm iffy on.

I haven't seen much of Ryse.
Okay then
I'm not an MK head so I don't have much reason to lose sleep over this. You sound more experienced in the matter so I guess I can take your word for it.

I just wanted running and UMK3 game speed, they (might have) added MK4 weapon pickups or intertactibles.

Boom, from other thread.

What was Ryse's framerate tho? Would that work for an FG?
Ryse was 30fps
Curious, don't people who say things like that have to be identified as insiders (like ntkrnl)? Has he been identified as such?
Usually at this point they get contacted by mod for proof or get banned.

Also, my reposted thoughts from the reveal thread:
If that's in-game play, then this is a huge step backwards. It's like Boon recognized they can't do fast, fluid gameplay, and so they went in the opposite direction. Seeing "cinematic" in the description of a fighting game trailer makes me deeply disappointed. I was hoping they would fix the clunky combat of the previous games.
Again, I'm not saying "that's gameplay". I'm just keeping an open mind. I think it could be done.

If you would have told me GG Xrd was gameplay in that first trailer, I would have found it hard to believe. I know this is in a different league graphically, but I am going to keep an open mind.
Ryse is 30fps/900p. If the gameplay is as slow as the trailer, though, 30fps might actually be feasible.

Hey, I was on #teamCG back in the day. Sometimes you just want to believe, because you just never know.

ewww why do people want running back in MK? I hated UMK3 because of that.

That was a hype trailer, brought back all the feelings of the original trilogy. I am not overly fond of the CG reveal trailer approach most games take. This doesn't mean we won't see some in game stuff at E3 however.

I would be fine if the "switch" button was replaced with a weapon stance button.
Can't be gameplay, not with that animation.

gotta get that WB paper amirite?
Looks like it really wasn't gameplay
So the trailer is 100% "useless", we can't get any info from it =/

But that's only after blocking an attack right?
Well, there's your MKX trailer - and for those wondering if it's CG or not, I would sure hope for NRS that that was in-game. There's no way that CG that came out today in this age from a big dev would look like that, it had to be in-engine.
Onwards to Ultra.
I'll admit I didn't see it in that light, good call.
EDIT:
What the hell - I don't know who that guy is, but if that was really CG in the sense of not even using the game engine, oh man.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Not a fan of wiz but it definitely seemed like one of his better songs from the outside looking in.

Because the spazzy dash blocking in MK9 is ugly as hell to watch, and in Injustice the stages are so long, everyone constantly dashes over and over again to get anywhere.
Running is the best feature KoF has. It's a logical and elegant way to cross the length of a stage.

Oh KOF style running I wouldn't mind, I though you mean a run button.
