BUT, to compete with how AWESOME SFIV is, MK will have to do something outstanding....Much more than just offer some 2d fighting for people other than classic MK fans to care.

pretty

Looks cool. The gameplay and fatalities bettter be tight though.

Why can't it look more like BlazBlue?

Is it April Fools? What is in that trailer that people like so much? This is the same game as the last 5 iterations. They are using animations from a PS2 era game for gods sake. Its downright lazy! Even if you liked the PS2 era MKs, your still looking at a game that is doing the same exact thing it did back then. I'm not saying these games should be doing anything new, but these games are like the Dynasty Warriors of the fighting genre. They give you the same characters, some of them clones of each other, with the same 10-15 moves, with the same engine, and the same animations, and apply a new coat of paint in the form of prettier graphics and shit it out as if its a new game.

This series, more then any, needs a reboot. You all have Sonic symptom, the lot of you are getting excited and you're just going to be disappointed when you realize you paid $60 for maybe 1 hour of fun before you realize its the same god damn game.

Woot woot! Back to basics.

Ghey. Looks like the same shitty game they have been putting out since the first one.

I wonder how manly Sonya will look this time around?

it looks like Mortal Kombat, all right. that's enough to turn my attention elsewhere.

Looks like classic MK with Tag Battles... could be an awesome addition. They just better have everyone. After playing UMK3 and the others that had every character from every game to that point, it just sucks when they only include half of them.

I've always liked Mortal Kombat better than any other fighter, even the recent entries into the series. The backstory is actually my favorite part.

Funny how people sucked Capcom's dick for returning to Street Fighter's roots with SFIV(which is basically SF2.5) yet people are shitting on Ed Boon for returning to MK's roots with MK9. I know it's just the haters though, because any true MK fan will tell you the best Mortal Kombat in terms of the complete package, was MK2. So MK2.5? Yes please! And in 2.5D?

DAY ONE.

A little disappointed by the look of it. I'm not a huge fan of the series but I'd be more inclined to check it out if they slapped on a fresh coat of paint and tried a different visual style.

@RichardBlaine Have to agree, there also seems to be a bit of polish really needed on the animation they seem a little unnatural.

You know what would have been a nice style, using real people. That would have been unique.

Anyone here's hoping for some nudity fatalities!

Can't see the trailer, so I won't comment on this iteration, but I've never much liked the series. All the characters controlled all stiffly and I'm convinced the only reason anybody plays them is for the blood. Which is why MKvDC didn't go all that well. It was simply less graphically violent. It had the most polished gameplay of the series so far, I'll give it that, but the fact that they squeezed out a game with the MK name on it and a T rating put a lot of people off.

If a game can't stand up on gameplay alone, like Mario, Devil May Cry, or Halo can, then all that extra style and shiny new coat of paint don't mean much.

If this game turns out well, great. I like fighters, and having another good one is always appreciated. But unless this game breaks the cycle of having JUST enough gameplay to justify buckets of blood, I'm not buying.

It looks super stiff.I guess the character animation is still in development, but honestly it doesn't look like there is anything fluid about the characters' movements at all. That's kind of a turn off for me.

I've never been fan of this serie and I only remember when the first episodes came out on the snes and genesis how terrible the reviews where, terrible animation, crappy gameplay etc. The only thing about it was the gory element everyone was talking about.
Blah... anyway uh?

Was hoping for a reboot but I still see the same clunky stiff movement of the PS2 era Mortal Kombat games...

I like the addition of the MvC swap out mechanic. This should be a good revitalization of the franchise.

YES YES!!! But please, more blood, more fucking gore, I beg you.

they brought back the blood n gore. I vote F YES bout frigging time,.

Why don't they Remake Pit Fighter, that game was way more fun. 3player CO-OP I pick the yellow guy.

Not sure how I double posted, the back to story button has been acting up lately.

I sure this game doesn't have a fucking BLOCK BUTTON. That is easily one of the worst ideas in mainstream gaming.

You are F*CKED UP Kung Lao...
