Gaf's laborious eyes seem to recognize a lot of stuff from the MK vs DC game and are extrapolating that into this being the same engine. :\

I must say, I'd prefer it to be as basic as possible. None of that up close stuff or the busting through stages or environmental kills, etc.

Well yeah, that's a given. They wouldn't make a brand new engine for what's largely the same fighting game on the same platforms. Especially when it's the same Unreal license.

sorry, I meant the mechanics and gameplay systems. Like the up close fighting and what-not. I'd really like it if they just kept it bare bones, polished it up proper and not go bananas adding all those weird little gimmicks that ultimately end up diluting the gameplay imo.

like I said, it had several sub-systems like the up-close bro hugging mini-game (seemingly replicated in the trailer with the x-ray stuff added for "gore") and you could occasionally pick the other fighter up and run through a bunch of walls with him in front of you while mashing buttons (both to escape, if you were being rammed, or to keep going if you were ramming)... and the previous game's "big" hook was the environmental kills and the "make your own fatality" which mean they were all generic pull-off-limbs finishers.

Frankly the last MK game that was worth not only the money, but the time, was Shaolin Monks which was more of a character action game with co-op and what-not.

Monacle on: MK vs DC was one of the worst fighting games I've ever played. The DOA series' rock/paper/scissors meta-game has more depth.

Monacle off: It's like watching Braveheart on TBS.

Shaolin Monks was awesome, though.

RANT TIME.

Some people are saying that this game is their return to form. Mortal Kombat Vs. DC was their "return to form." This looks very similar to it but without the (DC) comic book cheese. The MK cheese is still there in full force, however. MK always has the cheesiest character designs and game play. I will certainly check this out, but unless they've seriously overhauled the game, FINALLY got rid of the stiff animations, and ditched the "we're going to go out of our way to not have moves like Street Fighter but give our characters all these wacky, awkward move inputs," it's gonna be another bargain bin bomb like what MK Vs. DC turned out to be.

Another suggestion: Map the fatalities to one button. Seriously. Your average casual gamer is not going to be interested in looking up "up, up, away, down, towards, hold block+hk" in this day and age. Make the fatalities a reward for beating your opponent.

Continuing on a Mortal Kombat rant, I think they should drop making it a fighting game all together. Make another game like Shaolin Monks or continue what Unreal Championship 2 started, and have a hybrid FPS/brawler. Mortal Kombat has never been able to play as smoothly as its Japanese counterparts. Why is this? Everyone hoped that when they finally ditched the digitized characters and went for 3D models back with MK4, that this would be the end of the stiff cheese, but it was exactly the same. Ed Boon and crew are forever stuck in the mid-90's.

AFAIK the only MK that's been considered tournament-worthy (and thus is still played) is the arcade version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, because of its crazy amounts of combos. I have no idea how much of that was intentional on Boon's part or just glitches though. :p

Yeah, MK Vs. DC was pretty bad. Fun in that "so-bad-it's-good" way for a bit, but a terrible fighter when looking at its mechanics. It was also an unfinished game from what I have read.

dark1x · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2010, 01:17:38 PM »

Would have been nice if they attempted to produce "closer to reality" character model ala Fight Night Round 3 and 4. Obviously this wasn't possible when they first transitioned to 3D, but they could definitely pull this off today.

The engine used for MK vs DC was just Unreal Engine 3, though, which doesn't seem fitting for a fighter.

Enl · « **Reply #17 on:** June 10, 2010, 02:14:59 PM »

Eh, I actually like the trailer. I've always had a soft spot for MK2 and this hit me on all the right notes. I haven't been interested in a Mortal Kombat since Anthology so I guess this did its job in actually getting my interest peeked.

Not really a fan of the series nor have I ever been but I honestly don't see any other way to do it other than what they are doing. Mortal Kombat has a very specific appeal. And it caters to that crowd which is pretty much what any old series is going to do.

If Mortal Kombat was going to "evolve" it would have done it a long time ago.

Raban · « **Reply #22 on:** June 10, 2010, 07:13:31 PM »

I think it looks fine. I don't judge fighters based on anything but gameplay since SF4, whose screens and video made me think it was the dumbest shit ever until I played it and fell in love. Will wait for demo.

Never was interested in any of the 3D MK games, it's nice this is going back to a more 2.5D style similar to SF4. Still want a SF vs MK game one of these days though (made by Capcom of course)

I think there's a good chance that this will be the best fighting game of 2011.

It's been included in the EVO line-up and it SEEMS that the developers MIGHT know what they are doing. A potentially good western fighting game is a sure sign of the apocalypse.

I have to admit that I've always been a total sucker for this franchise as a kid; from memorizing backstories, drawing fanart, to loving BOTH movies... you name it. It's been a guilty pleasure for so long, but this entry is actually shaping up into a solid game. The media's feedback has been extremely positive.

iconoclast · « **Reply #34 on:** March 02, 2011, 07:46:49 PM »

Yeah, but the media don't know shit about fighting games, so who cares. More importantly, the feedback from the srk crowd has been positive, and that's pretty surprising since MK has been a joke since UMK3 (or MK2, depending on who you ask). I know that Nether Ream is trying to make this a respectable fighter, and it looks like they're doing a pretty good job with it so far.

I haven't been this excited about a Mortal Kombat game since I was 12.

Akala · « **Reply #35 on:** March 02, 2011, 09:47:19 PM »

MK2 is one of my fave games of all time. Hope this can elicit some of that sweet sweet nostalgia.

Series has been crap since, although UMK3 was playable.

People are such tools about this game, it's still the same engine as Mk vs DC with tweaks. I love how posers are all 'OMG THIS IS TOURNAMENT LEVEL GAMEPLAY'

...and the MK Vs DC engine was a tweaked version of the MK:Armageddon engine. Some animations are straight from the xbox generation game ffs sake. Get some evo idiots to test the game, and suddenly it all becomes legit and stuff.. Marketing is awesome.

edit: I actually like the game, its a blast to play, but its just hilarious to see the reaction of all the idiots on GAF who suddenly love the game.

The game feels kinda simplistic compared to the likes of SSF4 and Marvel, but that was a given. Online is a mixed bag...sucks on PS3 (I kept getting kicked out of matches when trying to rematch and it took forever to find people), is pretty decent on 360. Hopefully it will be patched.

MK1's Sub-Zero is a bad guy who killed Scorpion, disappeared/died at the end of the game.
Scorpion is usually neither good nor evil, just wants to settle scores I guess.
MK2 and onward's Sub-Zero is the original's brother, is a good guy.
Noob-Saibot is MK1's Sub-Zero, still a bad guy.

roommate got this for 360. we played it on his 360 a bit. It's...okay. It's not my thing but it's not bad either. I was most impressed, however, by the multiplayer mode that hands out benefits/handicaps. It really puts a nice twist on the game. In one level, the stage got dark every 5 seconds so we couldn't see each other or our health. At the same time, it was raining ice that froze us when hit.

Really novel and inventive gameplay mode. Shame it's not in a Street Fighter game.
