Mortal Kombat 9 Commercial is SICK!

[Taskmaster99]

this game looks badass!!! Finally an MK i am excited about.

[HatefulGravey]

There was a thread a while back. Not sure where it went .

I have mine pre-ordered only because I had to have that fight stick. I'm looking forward to the return to 2D fighting and the new fatalities that have shown up in the last few days look real nice. This looks like they really want to get back to competing directly with the SF games.

It definitely caught my attention. I just hope everybody has their classic outfits available. I'm not a fan of what they've done to some of the ninja, though the main two still look pretty rad.

[HatefulGravey]

So far they all look pretty freaking good. The classic look but a little more detail and dirtier. Every picture I have seen it looks like that are all splashed with blood and dirt. I understand that the character models get more and more beat up and the fight goes on so that could explain the dirty look. Pretty cool that they put that much effort into the models and all too.

[madmax2069]

It looks good, but does it play just as good as it looks, just about all of the newer versions of MK failed hard when it came down to the controls. because of that i moved onto other fighting games because they offer way better controls

[moycon]

I want this game. I'm leaning towards the Kollectors Edition with the book ends mainly because I'm afraid the arcade stick is going to suck.
If I knew it didn't I'd probably get that instead.

Kratos Gameplay!!!

[HatefulGravey]

BOOO!!!! Keep Kratos out of my Mortal Kombat games! What a great way to screw up a game like this. They were supposed to make a game full of fan service. All about the fans getting what the fans want. I'm a fan from day one, and I can tell you I represent a large group of people that died a little inside when I heard about him being in the freaking game. Just stop putting extra crap in my Mortal Kombat games please! If you are going to make a cross over give up Mortal Kombat vs Capcom or GTFO. That is the only cross over I'd be interested in and it can never happen. So just stop.

All they had to do to make everyone happy was leave him out. He adds nothing to this game that would have been missed if they had left it alone.

Remember when they used to call Kratos "Quan Chi"?

To be fair, he looked more like a transvestite clown than the God of War in MK4.

But the fact remains that it has very nearly become standard practice to include guest characters/crossovers in fighting games. I'm pretty sure there's a goddamn Tekken character in the most recent Naruto fighting game...

That kicks ass.

He was crap too. Mortal Kombat has had a hard time with new characters in every game after Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Worse then that they have a bad habbit of not putting great characters in the games as they come out. Characters missing from MK2 that were in MK1 is silly, and it continues. Can you imagine the next Street Fighter game not having Ryu in it?

[Rex Dart]

I'd love to see a street fighter game without Ryu Street Fighter 3: New Generation only kept Ken and Ryu from SF2, after all, and I'd rather have seen Ken & Blanka as it'd make a tiny bit more sense.

Yup yup. I honestly cannot identify the man in that photo as either Quan or Krat.

I played the demo on PS3 with Scorpion with the easiest difficulty and had a blast. The AI was too easy for once, so I could have bumped it up a difficulty. The controls felt natural and responsive. I think this may be the Mortal Kombat I've been waiting for. I've never been excited for a fighting game, except for this.

Nice where did you try it out? I might go check it out tomorrow.

I downloaded it on the PS Store. It was a little under 600 MB, so it didn't take too long to download.

Oh is it available to anyone now? It was exclusive to PS+ members only awhile back.
I'll go check it out.

EDIT : Tried it out. It's just like the old school MK but with kick ass graphics.
I like it. Just wish I knew the finishing moves!

[Rex Dart]

Check the movelist . I'll have to get used to all the re-arranged controls (throw an iceball with the kick button? okay), but nothing I haven't had to do with MvC3 already.

[xenomorpher]

The moves are MUCH easier for me to remember than previous ones. The only thing I can't do is a stage fatality. Juggling with Scorpion is fairly easy and usually gets me a satisfying 7 hit combo. I was given a treat last night after doing an uppercut

[MagitekAngel]

Speaking of long-lost relatives of Kratos:

[Jibbajaba]

Is there a demo on XBL?

[HatefulGravey]

Looks like I have a demo to download when I get home. Can't wait!

[Ite]

The roster has been leaked! Check out Cyber Sub Zero... he looks SICK!
