Support NeoGAF

[Dario ff]

I thought MS stated they didn't want "Xbone" to be used on official media.

Good to see PC getting supported, hopefully on release.

 

[PaulKersey]

So hyped. Loved MK9 and Injustice. Can't wait to see gameplay.

 

[Kiant]

Lol even WB calling it Xbone.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Yasssss PS3/360 get MKX!

This E3's already a success in my book.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

XBone?

 

[ArchedThunder]

Every game from now on will be a reboot. Mortal Kombat: Groundhog Day edition.

Bill Murray is Shao Khan

I'm okay with this

Mortal Kombat 2009 was a reboot.

Didn't come out in 09. Also it wasn't a reboot, it was a time travel plot and almost everyone fucking died by the end.

 

[GuardianE]

Lol even WB calling it Xbone.

That's it's name.

Forever.

 

[PaleFolklore]

Probably the only game that has gotten me excited for this gen so far. I don't even really like fighting games that much either but I think that speaks volumes to how great this looks.

 

[TheRealTalker]

looks like you could use the environment like inJustice judging by the cg trailer

 

[BronsonLee]

Lol even WB calling it Xbone.

There are only so many characters you can use to tweet~!

So can we all agree that if every character here was smart, they'd travel back in time and tell Raiden to stop fucking with shit

I'll enjoy watching other people play this

Interesting...

Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game’s most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together.

 

[The Rain King]

"Xbone"?

 

[Negaduck]

Can never really judge how a game will play from a cg trailer. Don't get me wrong amazing trailer. I do enjoy some wiz kalifa also and loved how scorpion looked.

I would much prefer just a match video because regardless of how pretty it is if the game play sucks. But I know you have to get everyone else who doesn't care about the game play hype.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Take a good look at this, Capcom!
PC version right off the bat, THIS is how you do things!

Couldn't be happier right now.
Time to save some money for a new graphics card.

I hope the game has the same roster as MK9 +new characters.
It should at least have Smoke. Need my main, yo.

The new details:

“Mortal Kombat has always been about over-the-top, visceral fighting and with Mortal Kombat X we wanted to utilise the power of new-gen consoles to give players our most intense game yet,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “The team has worked hard to make sure Mortal Kombat X delivers everything fans expect along with new characters, new game modes and an all new graphics engine.”

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. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game’s most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together.

 

[Gildarts]

What exactly is great in this trailer?

All I see is a CG trailer of scorpion and sub zero fighting.
Then mixed with incredible bad and unfitting music.

The announcement is cool, the trailer is bad imho

The Mortal Kombat X teaser is everything wrong with modern trailers by Ben Kuchera

 

[TeddyShardik]

Depending on your definition: do you consider Unreal Engine 3 next-gen technology?

Maybe...as in: Your textures will be loaded in next generation.

Trailer looks fine but I don't believe for a second that it wasn't just CG made to look like gameplay (in some scenes).
Playing MK to unfitting Music...kinda worked.

And another thing: Back to block please.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Mortal Kombat X is scheduled for release in 2015 for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC.

Well that's one way to pad out your PR.

 

[Nirolak]

Mandatory.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

It seems as if WB can't seem to move on to UE4 yet.

Cross-gen games be damned.

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

 

[LTWheels]

Can't wait to use my K groove Scorpion!

 

[ekim]

Boxart

That looks quite good.

 

[Bloodrage]

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.

That looks quite good.

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.

 

[KnightHart]

The new details:

New challengers? Ooooo I like the idea of new characters. I'd be cool with them reintroducing some of the newer characters from MK4 and up though. We already saw some of the female characters like Kira, I think Ashrah and I think Tanya in MK9 in Shao Kahn's Arena stage.

 

[HI. BILLY MAYS HERE]

Trailer was nice

I'm hyped

 

[RAIDEN1]

Bring back the theme tune to the original but remixed well, and they'd be onto a winner, (music wise at least..)

 

[kamandi]

Is that CG? looks like actual gameplay.

 

[FourMyle]

why does scorpion look like a hobo

 

[velociraptor]

Boxart

Sexy.

 

[dlauv]

Boxart

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.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Is that CG? looks like actual gameplay.

It's CG.

 

[Nori Chan]

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.

But wiz Khalifa is straight shit. They could've probably picked you to spit a few bars and it would've been way way better.

 

[Bizazedo]

Take a good look at this, Capcom!
PC version right off the bat, THIS is how you do things!.

Err, that doesn't say simultaneous release. 2015 has 365 days, last I checked.

 

[P44]

holy fucking shit that was amazing

The Mortal Kombat X teaser is everything wrong with modern trailers by Ben Kuchera

Meh I seriously question how many games these "journalistersist"/gamers play if they cant tell the difference between CG trailers and ingame stuff.

 

[dmr87]

Time to pre-order right now.

Smh.

Lol even WB calling it Xbone.

That's pretty funny.

 

[Kreed]

I'm a big rap fan and I agree, the music was terrible. Wiz Khalifa is awful. I wish they go the street fighter route with their music. Instead of composing new music for the new games just redo the classics with a new spin on it. The older games' music would fit these new mk games perfectly.

It's fine if you are making this distinction (it would be good if more posters did as I'm not a Wiz fan either), but there are clearly posters in the topic that don't like the music because it's hip hop/it wouldn't matter if better rapper was on the track. So there's no need for hip hop fans/Wiz Khalifa haters to come to their defense.

 

[RM8]

Cross-gen being such a common thing this generation is awesome :3 I'm not in a hurry to buy new hardware in part because of that.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Mortal Kombat X combines cinematic presentation with all new gameplay

cinematic presentation

Are you kidding me here

 

[ArchedThunder]

Cross-gen being such a common thing this generation is awesome :3 I'm not in a hurry to buy new hardware in part because of that.

And this is the problem you have created game devs.

 

[Nori Chan]

Were there new characters in mk9? The only one I can think off was skarlett.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's hard to tell off a CG trailer and art not even made by Netherrealm, but I hope they are changing up the art style to something more realistic versus the cartoony style of the last game.

 

[Grimsen]

Are you kidding me here

Oh please. It worked for Injustice.

 

[L.O.R.D]

i wish when in the game ,when you break some one leg , he will move like hobble
