2011’s Mortal Kombat is widely considered to be one of, if not the, best fighting game ever made for the current generation of consoles, PC and handheld devices. But that was three years ago. Now, it’s time for round 2 on a new generation of hardware. FIGHT!

Why not just select 1080p from the drop-down?

Is that actual game footage though? Please tell me it is!

Interactive environments much? Still think it’s a bit silly how after breaking Sub-Zeros leg he’s still capable of walking.

I thought so also. Would be awesome if they’d allow you to cripple your opponent during the fight. If that happens, it should revert to 1 round. (Crippling an opponent should only happen if they are low on health and you have not been touched, kinda like a perfect round, but better.)

Gareth L (That eXCheez Guy)
June 2, 2014 at 16:17
I highly doubt it.
Actual in-game character models, definitely, just not the effects and rendering. The ice forming on the trees and Sub-Zero’s face right at the end were too good.
I’d love to be proven wrong, though. 🙂

I think that’s a combination of in-game and pre-rendered. It also seems that they’ve incorporated the environment interaction they had on Injustice into this, and maybe even a counter-system a la Dead or Alive. That could be pretty freaking cool.

ha who remembers Eternal Champions on the genesis.. !!!?!?!?
Hammersteyn
June 2, 2014 at 16:29
I do. Only interactive environments actually meant death traps. Could never manage to finish it though. That game was way to hard. My favourite was the cyborg kick boxer (forgot his name). still remember that if you held down A and C he would shoot a huge fireball from his chest

Ok first off. Music? HORRIBLE. Why on earth would they use hip hop music for this trailer? Makes me feel like i was watching a fight from Afro Ninja (which worked for the anime) Secondly…. As good as it looks…. I think the animations are too cartoony for my liking. It doesn’t look authentic in some sense. Love the graphics though. Looking forward to this game!

They should have stuck with something like this. Sooooooo much better.
Hammersteyn

And this was the first MK after MK4. The serious was in jeopardy of stagnating but MK DA resurrected the series.
CypherGate
June 2, 2014 at 16:53
Yeah true, but Rock just works for MK.
Hip hop makes the game feel like a joke.
Hammersteyn
June 2, 2014 at 16:59
Agreed, save that shit for Street Fighter
CypherGate
June 2, 2014 at 17:04
Yeah cause Street Fighter has got a kind of Urban feel to the game anyway with its locations and its diverse characters whereas Mortal Kombat is dark, evil and serious looking with its atmosphere, characters and story (Or thats how it suppose to be)
CypherGate

I guess it all depends on whether that was in-game or merely a clever use of CGI. The one thing that’s always annoyed me about NetheRealm is their animation. It’s always too stiff, like you’re watching stop-animation with GI Joe action figures. They did improve with Injustice, though… (although even just a little bit).
However, when SubZero unleashed his ice, I had a stirring in my nether regions….

I like the music. I think it suites it along with the lyrical content. This is the only Wiz Khalifa song I like; probably cause it doesn’t have anything to do with weed and he spazzed out switched his cadence and flow, and used a double rhyme scheme. He delivered the energy on this track to match the tone of the game.
I like it because it’s different; whenever you think of Wiz, Mortal Kombat does not come to mind. It’s different and strangely, it works for me.
