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

This is not going to end soon, really.
What in the hell was the point of this trailer though?
When I watch a trailer for Street Fighter, you basically see animated cartoon of Ryu and Ken fighting...that's an obvious thing that it's not the gameplay.
Now when I see MKX trailer, they're scripting the trailer to be exactly like a match minus the HUD...so if the game doesn't look exactly like what we just saw in the trailer, what was the point?
In my opinion, Netherealms are kicking themselves in the ass by releasing this.
I would not be at all surprised if this CG trailer plays prior to the main menu (every time the game is launched). The example that stands out to me is Rock Band and the CG intro video that played after the developer/publisher logos

Don't even know why they bother saying that's the box art.
No way that will be final.

that bg soundtrack is just awful for this
So like this intro from Super Street Fighter 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8SD_M_ccac
I get what you're saying, but the person who made the decision to make this CG trailer look exactly like gameplay from a match minus the HUD, is stupid.
You set yourself up for disappointment when you do something like this because if the actual gameplay isn't like the MKX trailer, then again I say what was the point of the effort in the first place? People are going to compare it, there's no denying it.
At least in this Street Fighter 4 trailer I can clearly make the distinction that it's not gameplay.

Are any of these friggin games being announced, actually releasing this year?

Hype is the point.
Trailers are marketing tools. They are used to generate interest and buzz, and it worked for I.
I think it's just to tease the game's features in a fancy way instead of just showing regular gameplay. Trailers like this get people hyped.
If we're analyzing this thing, parry system that's fluid, weapons, environmental attacks.
Awesome. Sign me up. And everyone in this thread that has a problem with the music can just mute the audio. Musics fine. There have been much worse uses. Snoop Dogg and Tekken, anyone? CoD and Eminem? Sheesh.

Eh...I'll be hyped if the gameplay looks exactly like that. If it doesn't then I will be severely disappointed.
I really hate when devs do this. They should have made the trailer look LESS like a real match.
I'm really hoping there's a SF 3rd Strike parry system, because the parry fighting in the trailer could be really fun back and forth. I felt breakers in 9 were clunky and obtrusive. There were still some dial-a-combos in 9, but some freedom too, like a mix between MK2 and 3. I'm hoping they find a way to make combat smoother and hits have that "impact." x-ray moves had some decent feel of "impact" happening, but often the fighting felt flat.
I love MK. Make this good.
Also, variations of characters might be cool, but I just imagine it as imbalanced hell. Tag mode will probably return and maybe those variations will come into better effect there for assist moves, etc.

So we have been having a discussion about this at work and many of us think that certainly the side on shots look like they could be game play, if not then they could have at least used in game assets for the trailer. Agreed the cuts and non gamey camera angles feel CG but something is niggling me to think there could be more in game shots in this than I first thought. The number of assets that need to be rendered is relatively low, which would help push the visuals. We could be completely wrong, and hopeful but fingers crossed it retains at least some of this vibe.
Ps. we should also lobby them to include the original techno soundtrack in some way.

Ok guys, i modified the music and even added the announcer saying "fatality" at the end. Here is the uncompressed version thanks to blimblim

Didn't realize it at first, but so true.
I hope this doesn't slow down game development if developers are continuing to make games to last gen specs with a few tweaks for the current gen version. We need full current gen developments that utilize the current hardware to full potential.
What do you want, a live-action trailer?
So many people on Facebook seem to think it is gameplay, more so than any other CG trailer I've seen. Can't help but think CG trailers do abit more harm than good these days. People like to see something that resembles the end product. Fair enough, we haven't seen actual gameplay but I doubt it looks that good visually...

I'm tired of Boon constantly shitting on Sub Zero and jacking off Scorpion.

I'd hate for this to be the new madden bullshit cg trailer.
I'm interested because the last one was awesome. Looked great, fueled nostalgia, and the story mode and challenges were great. I suck online and no friends like these games, so single player content has to deliver for me in fighting games.

ITT: People butthurt over the music
Also, environmental weapons confirmed. Hurray for bringing over shitty mechanics from Injustice!

Yeah exactly what I was referring to in my comment a little up above. I don't want devs to be dealing with last gen anymore and limiting what they do to accommodate an older gen.

Doesn't look anything the PS4 couldn't handle, surprised to find out it's CG, obviously there were some tells but overall I thought it looked like possible gameplay.

We don't know shit about real gameplay apart having multiple versions of characters (maybe like Samurai Shodown 4).

Because fighting game design isn't contingent on tech these days. They could downgrade assets and effects for the PS360 versions. You could probably have KI running on last gen once you subtract the particle diarrhea.

Terrific Scorpion design. They outdid themselves. Fantastic work.
true. hell, they made mk9 and injustice run on vita. with 60 frames and feature complete.
@stoppedintracks: i love the mask and the fact that it looks like a mask again. scorpion was way to overdesigned in the last few games.
I remember when I was little and Scorpion vs Sub-Zero was this awesome rivalry. Now Sub-Zero is Scorpion's punching bag, there to make him look cool. I get it, Scorpion was always cooler. But it's lame as hell to have a rivalry be so one-sided.
Anyway, the trailer.
-Don't like the new designs
-That bloody music
-Hope this doesn't mean we're getting environmental interaction, I hate that
-Could backfire if people think this CG is anywhere near what the game will look like
-Cross-gen for a 2015 game, why...
-If the game has a new awesome parry system that'll be great, if not that trailer is going to look pretty stupid in a year's time
All in all it's a pretty poor show, but it's just one trailer.
