Mortal Kombat

[Caldwin]

I already had MK11 for Switch. Of course I knew there's no way it played or looked as good as PlayStation or Xbox, but it was a portable/docked hybrid, so I was happy.

Of course having it on Switch with all DLC and story mode completed, I resisted getting it for PS4. Except last night I was able to get Ultimate with all DLC for $16. So I went for it.

I can never go back to the Switch version. The graphics can't even compare and I think PS5 has ruined me forever on loading times.

 

[Steevy Maximus]

Yeah, it’s hard to go back to Switch with some of the conveniences of modern consoles. As much as I might chaff under the impending digital future…being able to swap games without getting off my butt on my Series S has definitely spoiled me. I’ve been tempted by digital sales to “rebuy” a few of the old Switch ports for the Series S. Not sure there was a big change with Diablo 3, though.

But I don’t think that negates how good the port was, all things considered. I was a bit amused by it since it has been a while since we had seen that sort of extreme porting done on a current game.

 

[Caldwin]

Yeah, Switch port isn't terrible. And if it was all I had, I'd be totally content with it. It's just that the PS5 is so much better that I just can't see myself going back.

And like I said, PS5 loading times have truly spoiled me, not just for MK, but just in general.

Seeing as how this is the only Mortal Kombat thread I can find, I guess nobody saw that another Mortal Kombat Legends movie is coming out in October, this time, focusing on Sub-Zero and Kenshi:

Link only because it is pretty violent.

 

[Caldwin]

Could be interesting. It looks like they really changed the designs of some characters. I barely recognized Kano And Sub without his costume.

They were naked?!

Kidding. And awesome that we're getting another movie!

 

[spikeriley]

Oh boy, so a new Mortal Kombat game has been announced called Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, and it's a mobile game.

And the worst part is, people managed to capture gameplay and cinematics of the game that won't be out until next year.

 

[spikeriley]

And now, the time has come for a new Mortal Kombat. Prepare for Mortal Kombat 1.

Link only because Mortal Kombat

not impressed pass

 

[Fero McPigletron]

Wait wait, who's the second guy with the hat? It's not another Kung Lao.

The comments say a human Raiden?!?!

 

[TriBlurr]

Yeah I think it's a Mortal version of Raiden. Looks cool. Need some game play footage though.

Really happy to see them go through with the reset timeline from the end of 11

 

[Caldwin]

Well at least they're continuing from 11 instead of making a complete reboot...even if continuing from q1 is in itself a reboot. But do we really need another Mortal Kombat 1? This is like, what, the third one now?

It seems from the trailer that there will be many continuity changes. I could see this reverting back to the old timeline at the end of the story.

I mean.. Even 9 wasn't a complete reboot.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

I'll go with it, wherever it takes us, I suppose. I'll just say that I was disappointed they jettisoned the refreshed timeline after only two games, though.

Side note: Why the hell hasn't MK9 been released on the same platforms as MKX and MK11? Get the whole trilogy in one go, y'know? I never even got to play 9.

 

[Caldwin]

I mean.. Even 9 wasn't a complete reboot.

Fair. I guess reboot isn't the right word. But still, how many times are they going to go back in time and start a completely different time line? They're already matching Zelda with 3. Boom, got my Zelda reference in!

I'll just say that I was disappointed they jettisoned the refreshed timeline after only two games, though.

This.

 

[spikeriley]

Gameplay has been revealed, showing off the Kameo fighters system, the new versions of characters like Johnny Cage, and even Kenshi (who makes his return after being absent in MK11).

Again, link only due to extreme violence (as it does has a montage showing some of the Fatalities).

 

[Fero McPigletron]

Kano! Stryker! But in really classic looks tho, aw

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Kinda. Not a fan of them mixing MK3's bald Kano with MK1 Kano's outfit, even though I think they've done that before.
