How good do you think Mortal Kombat is going to be?

This game look AMAZING. from graphics, to animations, to the awesome fatality's. after MK1 the series started to become more for casual players. but now that they are going back to be tournament worthy with this game, i can see this be on top once again as the number 1 fighting game.

street fighter, step aside

Lets just say i already bought the TE version lol.

meh...

I'd say AAA. They returned to their roots and dropped the whole 3D fighter thing for starters that's 1+ . They used tournament level players to come in and help them work on the game, that's another +. Not to mention the game looks gorgeous and has alot of content.. that's another +. Hopefully it all works out well.

Story Mode

Challenge Tower

King of the Hill

Tag Team gameplay

More focus on custom combos than dial in

X-Ray mode

Trying to appeal to casual and hardcore players

Going back to it's roots

Doesn't sound bad at all and should outdo the previous 3D MKs, I'll wait for the demo this week to see how it plays.

no knoquest mode or chess kombat but x ray moves and the fact that its mortal kombat means im spending 60 dollars on it

Seriously, everything I want in an MK game is in this one. My most anticipated upcoming game right now. I will be surprised if if doesn't score well.

Lol "Best fighter" What are the chances? Like 0.01% of that happening

But really it looks like one of the most "complete" fighting game that I've seen in awhile. I really hope some of the modes off Challenge tower you can do online with a friend.

Certainly looking to be one of the more polished and content-filled fighters.

Well the fighting genre hasn't exactly advanced a lot.
I know from hearing the developer talk about it, that this will be a Mortal Kombat game throughout. Don't expect major gameplay overhauls or anything.
And the Mortal Kombat formula was, and thus still is, pretty ok for a fighting game.
So i voted good although i'm not a fan.

Probably it will be good. 7.5-8.0 maybe even 8.5 on GS, but probably I will be like meh. MK was only good in the early days.

It might be the best MK game but that wouldn't be say much.

Anyway, stiff lookingcharacter movements generally turnsme off from playing MK games and MK9 looks no different.

Fixed. ;)

I expect it to be way better than Deadly Alliance and the other 3D games that followed. It'll probably score in the 8.0-8.5 range.

I see it scoring 8 and up. The fighting look great and it seems to have a good amount of content unlike another fighter *coughmvc3cough*.

alot of haters....

quote me on this...this will be the best scored fighting game of all time.

come at me bros

From the moment it was announced it already looked like the best possible direction they could take for the series. Then the more stuff they show the better it seems to get. I think it will be the best MK game to date honestly.

Ratings mean nothing when reviewers are only going to judge based on the content (modes) of the game, and not on how it stands as an actual fighter. Reviewers imply that versus fighting games need anything more than a versus mode and training mode. The game play is going to be shallow and focus on cinematics and not on depth of actual combat, like the rest of the MK games.

What? I'm pretty sure that NetherRealm have said that the combat is their main priority.

Yeah, but depth of combat isnt what many people want as much as just having fun. Same as why people tend to enjoy GoW more than NG. I know it seems odd that lesser gameplay can come out on top in these types of comparisons, but that's just how it is.

Also, I understand where you're coming from looking at MKs history, but we should probably at least play this game before coming to conclusions as the battle system already looks miles above anything the series has offered before.

Oh and lol @ this being the best scored fighting game of all time... :lol:

I HIGHLY doubt it.

It looks pretty good. There is a lot of content but tbh I've never really loved the fighting mechanics in the MK series and this doesn't look like it'll be changing that. It'll probably score 8.5 or so, as usual.

It seems so, but they have years of catching up to do. You dont just go toe to toe with the worlds best fighting systems simply because you decided to finally put some effort into your own.

It does look better than ever though, as far as MK is concerned. This may be the game to make me never play UMK3 again!

Umm... Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy MK. But no MK has ever really been tournament worthy. UMK3 was the only one that ever really had a tournament scene and even then it was miserable when compared with other games. MK1?.... :lol: Serious man? I'm not sure how long it has been since you've played MK1, but I think you may need a refresher. Its slow, has no depth and every character has the exact same moveset barring a few special moves. MK1 was a school project that got popular for its blue screened graphics and over the top blood and gore.... not the fighting system.

This new MK does look great, but bringing in other fighters to your aid has been done by many fighters for over a decade now and is not a means of making the quality of MKs battle system comparable to the best of the best.

It won't be better than Street fighter 4.

I never been interested in the Mortal Kombat franchise. That said the newest one looks ok.

The game looks decent. I see it scoring around a 7.0-8.0
