The corniest song ever, exclusive to Mortal Kombat. I hope they got other rappers to make songs, Wiz is turrible.

Mortal Kombat X - CG trailer (PC/360/XB1/PS3/PS4, 2015, E3 Debut, Box Art, Info, UE3)
- Thread starter ReplacementPelican
- Start date
MK is a fighting series that has changed alot over the years, from being 2D to going 3D, to introducing fighting-styles, only to kinda come back to a complete refinement of the core original mechanics with the last game. The last game also had Marvel vs. Capcom style team-ups, but so few people engaged with that side of it.
But in comparison to Injustice, MK isn't so drastically different, but there are more than afew similarities. The most obvious difference is probably that MK has a dedicated block button rather than just pressing 'back' Street Fighter-style.

I thought Wiz was a wrestler or something...
This E3 is going to be so huge!!!

Wonder if they ever gonna get rid of the block button and have a blocking system similar to SF
They've done it before in Deception. Get characters into the right spot, and you can knock them off some stairs, or even instantly kill them.

Ah, the block button was the big difference I was trying to remember; I knew there was something I remembered from the arguments over at TestYourMight. Thanks!
Very cool. So, I guess it would't be surprising for them to take what they learned from Injustice and bring back multiple layered levels.
MK is also a 4 button game. (excluding the block button) The supers, breakers and stuff are quite similar. I wanna say there was a difference in how combos work between the two games but to be honest I didn't play enough Injustice to be sure right now.

I can't even believe they'd use that atrocious song for this game.
Injustice didn't have the block button or breaker and added traits/character powers, air dashes, clashing and push blocking. On top of that "EX" moves work differently as, in MK, you have to press your meter button at the same time as the move comes out, in Injustice you do it after the move.

The thing I'm most mad about though is that they would use a criminal rapper like wiz Khalifa
The guy promotes drug use to his listeners. I'd prefer the traditional mk music over it for that reason alone

Ed Boon is obviously trying to influence kids to smoke a weed and play MK turning them into addicts of both during the process. borderline criminal.
Huh, guess they will be showing off the game at Sony's Press then.
Maybe with some exclusive content... again?
There might not have been breakers in Injustice but you could break a combo.

Like kratos?
I hope not, Kratos is dead.
Imagine if it were Delsin, that would be insane but I highly doubt that would happen.
Probably some exclusive costumes or something like that.

Arkham Knight will probably show up at Sony as well.
We need Sweet tooth in MK!!
It looks like two big, muscular guys fighting.
I don't get why every fighting game must have the same fluidity, MK is its own thing.
To me it look like 2 toys fighting made from some kind of soft materials and weird physics.
That part of the trailer in the gif doesn't look that bad, i was taliking more about the early fight from ~0:30 to ~0:40. That part looks very off to me at least.

How NRS designed MKX Scorpion to look so good and Sub Zero to look so bad is crazy, Sub Zero hasn't had a good design since MK5 IMO. Hopefully Ermac doesn't suffer the same fate but still buying though.
They will show up at Sony. Sony don't have a fighter, MS have and will be showing Killer Instinct. Not only that but MK has been shown at Sony and not MS conference before, add to that Warner have a closer relationship with Sony than Microsoft.
Cant wait for the eventual downgrade!!! CG was a bad idea to show.

I'm a little worried about the story description. I somehow get the sense that it won't continue from where MK9 left off, but perhaps I'm reading too into it.
don't be cray cray.
God damn that's a big ass picture. Looks great though with the PS4 blue case. Would be better with Sub-Zero though to match the coloring. So many good games coming out in 2015, and it's still so far away
Sub-Zero's Deception and 2011 main designs were amazing.
Shredder Sub = Best Sub
The first MK9 trailer was also CG and it was a good representation of what the game ended up being.
Arkham Knight will be at sony's just like origins was last year. WB and sony have some deal i think.

Trailer looked great and it hints at quite a few things. Hell the first thing at 30 seconds is a run so we may see the return of a run button over block dash cancels or something. Im just hoping that kipup lunge kick Scorpion did is a hint that there will be some universal wakeup options like a lunge attack forward, lunge attack backwards, neutral low poke, and forward/backward rolls in addition to whatever wakeup specials or armored options they might try. It'd help against vortex stuff for sure and if it left you both neutral on block to maybe slightly plus on block as a wakeup it'd be neat. Likely just a kipup done for nice choreography but I keep hoping its a hint at expanded wakeups in MKX.
Really hype about the press announcement of choosing different versions of characters for different strategies. Cyber Sub, Classic Sub and MK9 sub? Frost? God I need to know more.
Looks exciting thats for sure.

Might be UE4, awaiting firmer confirmation.
Likely UE3 though, considering it's cross gen.

Wiz Khalifa is probably a big fan of MK. This whole thread is bashing him. He did mention MK in his song "The Race". Maybe we're just judging it because it's someone performing during a trailer for a big game.

Nah I wasn't that hot on Shredder Sub, that outfit was just a bit too out there for my taste lol. I'll give you MK9 though, I didn't mind that one so I'll take back my original statement. Maybe this design will grow on me (which they do more often than not), after all it just a reveal trailer.
It's not nice, but it truly doesn't fit the trailer. Or the series, IMO. Two pseudo-ninja-ish looking characters fighting in a forest doesn't scream "rap / hip hop" to me.

Their rivalry has some history to it, that I'd personally show off with something more traditional to their background or maybe a theme song. I think a lot of us can relate to MK, but they use rap or some form of popular music to show it's worth getting into. MK does fine on its own, but who knows... there are some views out there that hate everything. I appreciate this type of music if it benefits the series in the long run.
No. Hype now. Hype always.

Even in CG the animation looked janky.
