So is it UE3 on the older consoles then? My understanding was that UE4 doesn't work on the old consoles.

Either way, sounds brilliant. Can't wait!

UE4 can work even on your cafeteria device, it works on ipad android mobiles and they are working on PS ViTA verison, watch the WWDC UE4 demos on ipad they look as good as this Mortal Kombat. In fact with UE4 tou can compile your game on any platform withou loss of details.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

FUCK YES!

Fantastic news. Now just confirm that any powers used will leave a lasting effect on the stage. I want to see leaves burning, puddles freezing, rocket blasting chunks out of the backgrgound, etc.

 

[DopeyFish]

Lol are you kidding? The confirmation came FROM UNREAL ENGINE THEMSELVES. Those who did the engine. I hope you are kidding.

Well that doesn't mean much unless it comes from the developers.

 

[Shaanyboi]

MK9 got me playing a ridiculous amount of Sonya. I NEVER used to pick Sonya. I hope she remains as awesome as in the last game. And Ermac, of course.

You have that, look at WWDC ipad UE4 demo, same effects, leaves, water etc.

This is what I originally though but was then corrected by someone here on GAF. So I guess I have been mislead again. Also this tweet seems to have added to confusion https://twitter.com/joekreiner/status/473465709935464451

Nice.

Now I really can't wait to see the current gen version. Come on, DD, don't let me down...

 

[Warablo]

I used Ermac as my main in the last game.... I really like the art style of Sub Zero and Scorpion but I have no idea why they changed Sub Zero to cyber in the last one though..

Not from NRS, so whoever's manning that twitter could be misinformed, and Epic's North American Licensing guy (who'd probably have direct contact with NRS) says otherwise. Plus it wouldn't make much sense for a cross-gen game to use UE4 at all.

Holy hell, I synced that at just the right time and it came out amazing. Why in the fuck would they use that original garbage song over the classic. It flows so much better!

 

[Wishmaster92]

UFC is 1080p/30fps and the budget probably wont be as big as MKX. I can't wait to see what the game really looks like.

 

[GladiatoR]

Rewatching the trailer and I hope the environment interaction is just there to make the trailer look cooler. Please, do not have the same environment interaction that was in Injustice. That was horrible.

DAMN!, i honestly thought that was real for a second, i was like why is that being posted? lol.

 

[Brites]

That box art is fantastic!

 

[Gherid__lacksGPS]

Where's that site where you can blend two different youtube movies?

http://www.youtubedoubler.com/?vide...m/watch?v=EAwWPadFsOA&start2=0&authorName=GPS

just turn the audio off on the trailer, don't have the hits, but that's the price you pay for proper mk music.

Holy hell, I synced that at just the right time and it came out amazing. Why in the fuck would they use that original garbage song over the classic. It flows so much better!

 

[Kieli]

Damn. Am excite.

MK holds a special place in my heart as it was my first console game, ever. :lol

 

[SnakeSlashRO]

Supported them in MK9 and Injustice on PC just because they put them on PC, never been a fan. I hated the way the models and character animations look... but with X I could actually be a fan, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

[Nemesis121]

Loving Scorpion's new look..

 

[Canis lupus]

FUCK YES!

Wait, how can this be UE4? I thought PS360 were not getting supported.

 

[Insane Metal]

Now I watched it and I see it still has that horrible character design and movement. The way they move etc is the same as the last few MK games, which in my opinion is very very bad.

I want that MK HD Remake

10x better, and it's funny how a marque number such as X wouldn't get a heavy dose of OG MK flavoring. Maybe e3 will have something in store. And yeah, animation us still bunk. Seems like they took in game assets - animation, models, text etc - and pre rendered with a choreographed fight sequence. It looks cool, but just feels really off - especially with that music....

There's already a fixed version

[Ooccoo]

I wonder why video games can't get in trouble for false advertising, because this is clearly NOT gameplay and won't look close to this.

 

[Bloodrage]

No one ever said it was gameplay, except for whoever doesn't know the difference between in-game and CGI. I'd understand and agree with you if they had advertised this trailer as "in-game footage", which it clearly isn't.

 

[thesuperfunk]

That inappropriate music. Terrible.

Agreed ... rest of the trailer was wicked though!

MK games are...relatively low budget (compared to others at least). Considering the license and EA; UFC's budget is probably higher.

UFC looks incredible.

 

[fallingdove]

It was a part of the storyline. They still had human sub though.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

FUCK YES!

Reads more like a "what do you prefer?" but I hope I'm wrong.

 

[DieH@rd]

Awesome news for UE4 confirmation! Mods need to fix thread title.

[however it is still possible that oldgen port will be on UE3]

 

[Rurunaki]

Trailer would've been better Wizout Khalifa..

 

[VariantX]

That's a CG trailer. We haven't seen anything in an in-game setting yet. At best, we have a glimpse at what features they're looking to incorporate into the game based on what they've given us in the past (x-ray moves from mk9, stage interactivity from mk4-7/injustice).

 

[kencey]

I hope it's really UE4, otherwise it will be MK 9.5

 

[tringworldso]

Please let the ladies look like ladies. Ed, grant me this one Boon please.

 

[The Bukafax]

Trailer would've been better Wizout Khalifa..

Omg HAHAHAHAHAHAH the funniest pun ever man. You are a legend!! Right up there with the likes of Pauly Shore!

 

[Ivan]

Character design looks much better this time

 

[killdatninja]

Looks awesome but I wish they would try something drastically different for gameplay. How about use the Biofreaks mechanic and be able to fight with broken/ripped off limbs?

 

[Valkrai]

I really liked the character design of 9 (with the exception of Reptile) so hoping it'll be similar in X. Totally interested in this, I love Mortal Kombat.

 

[Monocle]

Looks great. I just wish they'd make the attacks flow better. Even in CG form they have a stiff and awkward quality. The fighters look like stop-motion puppets.

 

[Ratcabbage]

I wonder why video games can't get in trouble for false advertising, because this is clearly NOT gameplay and won't look close to this.

I remember when I was a kid I was maliciously tricked by Hasbro's commercials for the "Guess Who?" board game. In the commercial, all the pictures of the characters would speak so, naturally, I thought they would talk up a storm when I set it up at home. This bit of false advertising taught me an important life lesson: everything you see is a lie, don't trust anyone.

Side note:I don't see "in game footage" anywhere in that trailer. However, there was an asterisk at the bottom of the "Guess Who?" commercials that read something to the effect of "characters do not actually talk."

 

[Manu]

That looks almost as good as Neo's CGI doubles in Matrix Reloaded.

Maybe in another 10 years we'll get photorealism in games

 

[MisterLuffy]

Loved the trailer, I'm excited to see what else does MKX has in store in the future.

 

[RetroStu]

That looks almost as good as Neo's CGI doubles in Matrix Reloaded.

It does have that 'smooth' body look to it that Neo had in the playground fight. I think 2 more generations and we will be fighting Jurassic Park level monsters, well maybe in 3 generations.

 

[Hale-XF11]

This is what I'd hoped/expected next gen would look like. Though, since it's CG, it probably won't and that makes me sad.

 

[HylianScribe]

Literally start the new trailer muted and start this video at the same time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTWdm6RrpVE

100x better.

 

[fallingdove]

It looks like they got some better modelers. I hope that the women of the game don't look as strange as they did in the previous games.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Game looks amazing. That music really didnt fit the mood of the trailer though.

 

[SSReborn]

PS4 Sub Zero box art please?

 

[Hypemaster]

Haha I'm the opposite. I wish Sub-Zero wasn't getting his ass kicked in everything they release. He was my favorite back in the day. Loved the trailer even though I probably won't do more than rent the game.

lol I understand, Scorpion and Sub-Zero do a great job at polarizing the fanbase.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

It'd be hilarious if they rebooted the reboot. Chronologically this is MK4 in the rebooted timeline. Seeing normal Sub-Zero they either go back in time again or make MK9 non-canon(unless third brother).

Anyway shit is gonna be hilarious.

 

[Mr.Marston]

PS4 Sub Zero box art please?

I second this.

 

[Ve1ocity]

Ugh, when will they improve that horrible animation.
I can't say I'm even remotely upset about it being cross gen, it's a fighter guys, c'mon.
