Mortal Kombat (2011)

That sub zero combo video is impressive. Looks much more flexible than Scorpion (at a first glance).
 
Yeah, they don't need any new stages, they have a crap load to choose from already and I'd rather see the old ones re-used with better graphics, exactly like they have done. It keeps the game feeling true to its roots but at the same time keeps it looking modern and fresh.
 
I love how similar this seems to the originals that I loved as a little node! :D

Does anybody remember the cheat you could mash on the woods level ? You knew if it worked as a guy would pop out from behind the trees and shout "Toasties!" :p
 
The pit was always the cheap man's fatality.. If you couldn't remember the button sequence just a simple uppercut.

You had to hit Start I think as soon as you saw it and you could fight Jade if I remember correctly. Also, if you did the same thing on the portal level you would fight Smoke.
 
Yeah that sounds like it!

I believe if you beat them then they became available to play as but I was just lacking in 'teh skillz' and sulked hard at my deaths :( :p
 
Nah Smoke and Jade were never playable in MKII, same goes for Noob Saibot. I remembered assuming that when I beat Smoke one time and was thinking yeaaaaaaaah here comes my super speed Scorpion but no joy :( I think that's what made them special and mysterious though, when you play as them they don't suddenly seem as cool anymore. I wish there were more characters like that in MK games recently but with this game going back to the roots it wouldn't surprise me if they were a few unplayable secret characters. I have to agree with the posts about the stages, they look absolutely amazing plus there is daytime and night time versions of certain stages very cool.

I'm not sure who I'm going to play as yet, Raiden's my favourite character so I'll give him the first shot and see how he is.
 
I remember reading up on all the moves that were listed in Games Master magazine in the school library at lunch times when I was at school, then heading to Quasar at the weekend to try and pull the moves off.

:o

Oh and it's 'TOASTIE!', not toasties. :p

Trivia: The person who pops out is Dan Forden, who is a sound engineer on MK.
 
Yeah well since we're sharing weird MK behaviour, I have to admit a few times I went into 2 player mode during MKII and beat the cr*p out of a motionless opponent 50 times in a row just so I could fight Noob Saibot lol. I never beat him or Jade for that matter but I did beat Smoke so atleast I have that to hold on to!
 
smoke was the char everyone jizzed over in MKII. then it was ermac and noob in III.

cant wait for this .... hopefully its amazing. im more than prepared to put aload of gaming time into this.
 
I downloaded MKII for PSN there about a year ago, had a few online games aswell was pretty fun using some of the oldies again. I would love to see UMK3 on PSN aswell.
 
Yeah, very few differences. When I bought it I think it was something minimal like £3.99 or something, I'm not at home right now so not sure if it's still available or not I can't see why it wouldn't be.
 
There was also talk about a HD collection being made with remakes of MK, MKII and UMK3 but that was late last year haven't heard anything in 2011 about it.
