looks promising, but at the same time I suspect there will come quite a few iterations of the MK9 afterwards , such as "ultimate mortal kombat 9" if it has success which I would not mind. But then again I hope this game will become their resurrection , or else it will be their swan song. Am I wrong, or is the animation a bit jerky of some of the characters ?
It looks nice, but it takes too long for a fight to start. Also I dislike the weapons and it seems a bit slow. Nice animations, but don't slow down the game for it.
That looks like it could be okay. I didn't really enjoy the past few Mortal Kombat games, though. One interesting thing I read about this game in the new EGM is that apparently they render the characters' insides - their bones, muscles, organs, etc. I'm not sure how this works. I would assume that they aren't rendered all the time, but only when somebody gets ripped in half or something. Still, it's kind of an interesting idea.
The best Mortal Kombat will always be the first one, I love that game, so simple but yet complex. And addicting. Hawk
How true. Mortal Kombat and Good just don't go together. Sure, this one may look nice but it will still be shit to play. Face it, American game studios can't make a good fighter. They're all crap. They can make fantastic FPS games and racing games (Forza 3) but 1 on 1 fighters? Nope, not at all. Yakumo
I thought Mortal Kombat 1, and UMK3 were great games, myself. The others not so much - Mortal Kombat 2 got rave reviews but I just don't see it. I like the first game because it was raw, but I felt MK2 got silly. MK3 introduced some interesting characters but UMK3 polished the game play more. When you do 'super combos' it shows the skeleton and vital organs being compressed/smashed and destroyed as the blows connect. It does this in a super zoomed in camera view then zooms back out again once the 'super combo' is done. At least, that is how it looks.
That's a pretty silly about FPS and Fighting games when you consider American/Western developers make most of the FPS games (Japan Devs makes hardly any) and Japanese devs make almost all the Fighting games. Seriously I can name Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Guilty Gear, King of Fighters, Rage of the Dragons, Marvel Vs Capcom, etc etc all Japanese. For Western lets see... Well there's Mortal Kombat... Killer Instinct... Primal Rage? Meanwhile for FPS games, I can't really name a single Japanese FPS game. Racing is I suppose more competitive between the two. I don't think you can deny Mortal Kombat is a good game when you see how successful ($$$$) it has been. Unlike others that were popular but didn't go the distance.
That's a bad metric upon which to measure whether a game is good or not, and the franchise we're discussing is a particularly good example of that. The MK games were fun because they were violent. As Vs. fighting games go they're terrible.
I was a big mk1-3 fan, it looks like this new game is using the mk vs dc universe engine, just improved alittle. The sub zero freeze animation is recycled from that game also. Not sure yet about mk 9, in this age of super moves and other big visuals in fighting games today, I just don't know if this game will hold interest. Theres just not much here we haven't seen before and better in other fighters.
Which is why I said American and Euro game studios are crap at making 1 on 1 Fighters. Just as Japanese are at FPS. Actually, are there any Japanese FPS games? Well, Killer Instinct was ok but Primal Rage was just as cack as Mortal Kombat IMO. Hype, my friend. The hype machine can make shit in to gold. Just look at the movie industry. Most of the blockbusters are pretty weak movies when it comes to substance. They're mostly glorified CG game intros :lol: Yakumo
