Mortal Kombat (2011)

I really want to like this but the animation looks so bad.

The fatalities and x-ray moves look excellent, it's just the actual gameplay that looks very weird and awkward.
 
I think it will be good. Theres a Ps3 demo coming week after next (with a Ps Plus demo due next week for those that have it) and an Xbox demo is due soon (possibly at the same time) from what I've read.
 
The gameplay and character movement does look a bit weird. Hopefully it plays well. Everything else looks awesome though, will definately have to buy this. :D
 
From Ed's interview they've had in tournament players to help them not have "broken stuff". If it's slightly better than MVC3 (which TBH I don't think it can get much worse) I'll be happy. :p

What's so bad about MvC3? I don't understand the hate, yeah Phoenix and Sentinel are amazing, but big deal, they're both beatable as evidenced by recent tournaments.

I am looking forward to playing an MK game on a stick, just hope the TE layout suits it alright because I saw an MK faceplate for a TE and the button layout looked very weird.

Phoenix isn't so bad because of her low life, but Sent is a bit much. I'm not really talking about character balancing, there's several glitches in the game already found. Including handcuff type of glitches, and Desk has promised that his next video will show several things that's will need to be banned in a tournament.

There's infinite loops / other problems and so on. I'm not saying the game sucks, I'm simply saying that it's rush to be released shows.

I'm not certain to believe Ed or not, but apparently it's included into the next Evo - but of course that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
 
I've got full faith in this... they really have gone all out for this one. I'm not a hardcore fighting fan by any means but a big Mortal Kombat one. Day one purchase :D
 
Yeah day 1 for me to. I don't actually care if the game is "broken" as I'm intending just to play it with friends and mess about online. I have a feeling though (if what I've read is true) it'll be pretty decently balanced.

Either way, I really want to play it. I loved MK days back on the 16 bit systems, and have always wanted them back. This and Soul Calibur's sequel will easily hold my fighting game cravings.
 
I see the "Test Your Might" thingy is back from the first game. Awesome, that used to be a fun distraction, especially when in two player mode to see who was the strongest/fastest button basher!

You don't compete though. Phoenix is very much broken, sent is fine given the amount of BS that works only on him and the super armour traps that spank him silly.
 
I got bored of tournament scenes late 3s / early Tekken 4. I started playing Counter Strike and other games fairly seriously and then realized that I'd rather play lotsa games for fun and that I wasn't enjoying taking the games as seriously. I still read a lot of the stuff though.

Sent isn't fine when he's xfactored and can ko a character in 4 hits. Even gootechs and Mike Ross switched to him and joked "I need all the help I can get".

Phoenix can be snapped in and has 420 HP,

Either way, the point is the game isn't balanced / has lots of bugs. I'm just hoping MK shall be better off (who knows).

If nothing else, I LOVE the look of the challenge and training made. I'm a bit tired of capcom games ATM, some good old fashion remove a heart action is required! :p
 
MK I want simply because it's MK :p

I really was so looking forward to MVC3, and though it's fun I do feel a bit disappointed. MK I think will be a bit different... I'm certainly not thinking it'll be perfect, but who knows.

I'll keep an open mind for now though... I do really wanna check it out though.
 
Wow... am I the only one who completely LOVES the look of those stages? I mean... I seriously love them.

All re-made from older games.... it really makes me so happy...
