Box Art

I saw that on a few MK facebook pages, but I didn't know whether or not it was official.

I saw it on IGN, they are claiming it is official anyway.

That's cool. Odd that we've seen the box art before any actual gameplay footage.

EDIT: According to Gamspot, Warner Bros. said that the game will be available on PS3, PS4, Xbox360, Xbox One and PC.

This is great. Everyone gets to play it! - I hope it's good.

But at the same time, knowing it's getting a last-gen release pretty much means it's not going to be making any progress in technical capabilities for a fighting game... unless they really can make innovative stuff as priority and just downgrade the graphics/resolution/effects big time to make it run on PS3/360. I swear some of the things devs can get to run on 512mb of RAM is insane.

I'll be happy if it plays anything the last one. It doesn't need to be too fancy pants to impress me. I'm delighted to see it come to the current gen because I haven't moved on to the next gen yet, and I'm in any real rush to either.

Robert ninja · 05-06-2014 1:39am

^ Yeah I agree, I'm happy it's cross-gen - was just thinking about the cons of that too.

Oh and current gen = PS4/XBOne/WiiU

I reckon current gen will be Xbox One/PS4/WiiU when there are more games out for them and they're actually relevant. They're kinda in that void between being new and bring important at the moment. I'm sure this well change in the next year though. That's the way I see it, anyways. Bit that's a while 'nother topic either way.

MKX gameplay trailer was shown at the Sony conference:

New characters (none of whom I recognize), stage interactables, etc. One thing also looked like the X-Rays might be two part things now. Both shown in the trailer seemed to have a ground section then a launcher with a big pause where you'd have plenty of time to input a followup.

Also, this dude was only shown in the Fatality reel at the end:

Get a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of this...

Macal · 10-06-2014 10:05am

The bug lady appears to be named Farrah (she addresses herself in third person for whatever reason). I'm going to take an educated guess that her fatality will involve vomiting wasps down the opponent's throat, or something like that. Plus, the voice actor for the kid on the brute sounds like Timmy Turner for Fairly Oddparents.

Xenji · 10-06-2014 12:29pm

There is so much stuff going on in the backgrounds of the levels, had to watch the trailer 3 or 4 times to see everything, the blood effect looks great as well with no sign of a new Tekken any time soon this will be my main fighting game when it comes out.

The lady who does Timmy Turner's voice is also Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls. If I could have some Powerpuff and MK at the same time, that would be all of my favourite things.

Nice to see some new characters showing up. There haven't really been any MK newbies (Skarlet excluded, because I keep forgetting able her due to her being so late to the MK9 party) since Taven and Daegon. And having said that, they were the only real new folks in Armageddon, so you'd have to go back even further for an influx of new cast. I'm wondering if the bug lady has any connection to Drahmin from Deadly Alliance. Also, for the, time being, I'm totally referring to the little/large tag team as Master Blaster.

koko_PoPs · 10-06-2014 2:48pm

mortAL combat x looks amazing. im a defo play it when itcomes out.im not too much a fan of the gore butthis game looks sick

deathrider · 10-06-2014 4:18pm

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the green dude shown near the end is one of the story's big baddies. Possible boss even, if Shinnok and Quan Chi aren't up to their old tricks.

In fairness, they were kind of restricted in terms of roster for Armageddon (by trying to include every MK character) and MK9 (reboot of the story taking place during MK1-3). Deadly Alliance and Deception had a good mix of new and returning characters, hoping to see the same happen for MKX.

Oh, I completely understand that. Armageddon was undoubtably a clusterfeck, and MK9's return to the original cast was completely necessary. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here. Pretty brave move stepping straight up with to new characters.

To be honest, almost every "good" MK character was in MK9. They need to start again with new character designs, once they're not ****e.

Macal · 10-06-2014 9:10pm

It's been confirmed that the bug-lady is called D'Vorah and the brute and child are called Torr and Ferra. No word on the blue dude yet.

2gen · 11-06-2014 1:02am

some gameplay. also the reveal of "Cassie Cage" .... Johnny and Sonya's daughter .... -_-*

deathrider · 11-06-2014 1:23am

Sun-Zero's X-Ray is phemenal. The more I'm seeing of this game, the more I'm liking it. Story mode spans twenty years (not of actual gameplay... obviously) with multiple decendants of classic characters. Perhaps that's why Subby's not automated. Perhap's he's the son of the second Sub-Zero. Also a "surprise returning" bad guy? I'm intrigued... And I hope it's Onaga!

Penn · 11-06-2014 9:04am

Green dude is Kotal Kahn. Not a huge stretch to guess he's related to Shao Kahn

Bad news for last gen system owners

According to Boon, NetherRealm is mainly focused on developing the game for next-generation platforms, with work on older consoles placed in the hands of other studios. The updated visuals on PlayStation 4 are definitely a sight to behold when compared to previous entries, but it remains to be seen how these aspects will translate to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Usually this means the PS3/360 port will suck, but there are exceptions to the rule, Blue Point managed to do a great job with the 360 port of Titan Fall.

deathrider · 13-06-2014 1:49pm

Feck... I'm hoping the PS3/Xbox360 don't just get stinkers. I don't reckon I'll be playing on next gen consoles by then.

Is there any gameplay footage of Cassie available yet? I'm interested to see how she works. Boon says she has a mix of Johnny and Sonya's moves. I'm kinda hoping the nutpunch and cartwheel are there.
