no one cares

 

But for real, it looks like they're building upon what they did with Injustice and making environment interactions a big part of gameplay and it looks like they're bringing back MK4 weapons. Glad the animation looks a lot smoother.

 

I am concerned though, in the official press release they state "powered by next gen technology" but they are releasing PS3/360 versions, so I hope there is not a huge difference between current and next gen [hopefully that's just a buzz line] but man, I hate when they announce stuff so far away = 3=

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.

[Pichy]

Get hype for Human Smoke vs Cyborg Smoke?

[Kairos]

This is pre-rendered, and contains no game play, so it's hard to say what will and won't be included from this trailer.

 

I've never been a big fan of MK, MK9 less so, but I'll try to be as unbiased as I possibly can until I see enough from the game.

[Xechs]

My ears are bleeding...

 

I like MK, but for some reason this trailer looks and sounds pretty dull.

[Hecatom]

It seems that the game runs on Unreal Engine 3, so that throws away any chance of the game looking like the trailer even by accident

Getting old and busted rappers to do the theme for your game going to be the new thing? I hope UNIEL gets DMX!

[Starlight777]

Those new designs make me pray that one day developers will STOP throwing multiple belts and buckles on their characters. It just looks stupid no matter who does it. The trailer looked nice but it didn't really give me anything to get hype about aside from the possibility of stage interactables being in it.

So Sub isn't a robot? That's good, let's hope they continue ignoring MK9's canon.

[SolxBaiken]

MK9 was merely one of the possibilities . . .

OF THE CONTINUUM SHIFT!!!

[D.R.F.]

Hey man belts are pretty hype

You are just jelly that you will never good loock with many belts

[Starlight777]

Hell yeah I'm so jelly of all the leather trends.

Anyway I wonder what they mean by multiple variations of existing characters. Nearly everyone gets an EX version or something?

I'm hoping for "-isms/Grooves" like Street Fighter Alpha/CvS2. That'd be cool.

Shadow Sub Zero.

[White Man]

Doesn't look as hype as Death Cargo, but I might still check it out.

[Tsuki Garyuu]

Eh, MK9 made me an enthusiastic of the devs, so I'll gladly follow this one.

[Vulcan422]

Trailer with better music

[Calamitus]

Inferior game deserves inferior music.

[White Man]

The original trailer music was cool, man.  I know this might seem ironic given my username, but you guys are too white.

[TAI-X]

First in-game footage from Sony's E3 conference.

 

The new characters include a masked giant with a midget on his shoulders like that guy from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (could be some puppeteer shenanigans going on with them, but probably not), and a yellow zombie lady who controls insects. My interest is piqued. There will probably also be another exclusive Playstation character again.

 

MK9 was mostly a nostalgia-fueled retread of the first four games, but this really feels like it's taking the series new places. They've brought over the contextual environment attacks from Injustice though, which I felt added nothing substantive to the game and only served to marginalize skill even further. But I'm sure you'll be able to disable them like in Injustice.

[WarioMCP]

Looks like Mortal Kombat is going back to it's roots of being the most violent fighter on the planet. This takes me all the way back to the original in terms of level of violence/gore vs competition.

MK9 was already insanely violent, far more so than any other game in the series.

^ I dont think this guy saw x ray moves

I wonder how the 3 character variations will affect balance and gameplay. They seem more than just a different ultra. Robo-Ky, Ex Robo-Ky?.
