I thought the name of the new MK game would be MK Rebirth or was that really the name for another horrid videogame based movie?

Doesn't seem bad enough to be called horrid from the looks of it so far, but yeah. Rebirth is the name of a prototype trailer made by some director in order to sell Warner Bros on his vision for a reimagined MK film (yay for viral marketing). Hasn't been worked on as a whole yet or anything. Thought I already showed you it in the off-topic thread.

Is it coincidence though that the idea for another MK film got revealed on youtube around the same time MK9 was shown? mmm

I mean, Shao Kahn is cool and all, but he's no Onaga as you know all too well.

Pretty much.

[b]Liu Kang: Arrgh, Help me Lao, my patented legs are being torn from my body.
Kung Lao: Fixes his hat and sings Here I come to save the day...
Lao's advance is promptly halted by an invisible barrier.
Shang Tsung: n00b. Can't you see I'm fatalitizing your partner?

Granted, this isn't a funny bit, but that's the only way I see them explaining the possibility for fatalities on both fighters in a team.

~ 2 vs 2 would do wonders for online play.
I'm also hoping that weapons make a return.[/b]


Haha, yep.

lol @ that scenario. 😂 I can see it happening too.

Regardless of how the fatalities work, I imagine the 2 on 2 would do much for online play as well. There will probably be plenty achievements/trophies involved with it too. At least, it would be better than unlocking trophies/achievements by playing that ridiculous Kombo Challenge mode that was in MKvsDC.

As for weapons, pretty sure I saw Subzero use one in the trailer, so it's safe to say they are back. I just hope they work the way they did in MK4 (where you have to push a certain sequence of buttons like you do for special moves in order for your character to draw them) instead of having to switch between different fighting styles in order to use it.

As long as it does not involve Shao Kahn attempting to take over Earth-Realm, and Liu Kang beating his ass back to Outworld, I'll be happy.

Yeah. I suppose I'll be fine as long as they're not recycling any of the previous plotlines.

At least they went back to the 2D style but will it be as good as MK3?

Yeah. Whatever happened to being able to use his morph ability in-game? I mean, sure, he was all right to use in the latest games too, but still wasn't the same (or as fun) without being able to change into other fighters and confuse the shit out of your opponent.

I like the x-ray type thing going on in the one scene, looks pretty sick. I'm kind of worried that I haven't seen scorpion on screen yet though, I hope they don't for some reason leave him out of the game.

Ridley_Prime Smug icon slayer

I'm not worried. With Scorpion being Ed Boon's personal favorite character, no way they'd leave him out.

SaTsuJiN Wielder of Thunder Seal

My fave was subzero til they gave him lame fatalities, and then later on unmasked him 🙁

then I switched to reptile for 2, and then Kenshi for the more recent ones.. dude rocks

Yeah Sub Zero just got less cool as the series went on imo, Reptile was always one of my favorites except in MK4 and Deadly Alliance

Yeah, him being unmasked for a couple games was a little too random for my liking. This fatality is still his best one by far though IMHO.

Hopefully they won't repeat that mistake. It was only the original version of MK3 that he wasn't in anyhow; Scorpion still made his debut in Ultimate MK3 and MK Trilogy.

Agreed about the Deadly Alliance version. That Reptile couldn't even turn invisible if I recall right. Still liked the MK4 Reptile to some extent, especially with how he could spin around in circles with his axe, but the ninja version is still the coolest one.

Looks good...need to see more.

After looking at the trailer again, I'm beginning to think Subzero's ice sword at 0:49 is just a temporary special move, rather than a weapon you can have drawn as long as you want.

And did I see Li Mei somewhere in there, or was that just Mileena?

Li Mei and Kira are being held captive.

SaTsuJiN Wielder of Thunder Seal

I'm going to die laughing if Mileena is god tier again like she was in MK2

sai spam to death :B

Gooogle Bot I has a titlez

Not hating or anything but honestly is this a XBLA game?

Kazenji Onyx Prime

Why would a XBLA also go to E3?

SaTsuJiN Wielder of Thunder Seal

I'll just leave this right here...

I noe ehh. Still, let us not talk about MKvsDC in this thread anymore.
MK9 will hopefully remedy that general disappointment.

I hope stage fatalities are present as well. I kind of like those. Friendship? mmm

True. I'd rather have it as a battle accessory of sorts that changes certain moves, rather than an entirely new style that you can switch into and out of.
Oh, and the Sub-Zero thing was a throw/special move. You can see Sub grab him.

Yeah. Or having Liu Kang stomp over Shao Kahn/Shang Tsung with his flying kick.

The trailer is fkn awesome. You can even see the 2 guys fighting in the background of MK2's pit stage.

Mortal Kombat introduces a number of new game modes as well as the most extensive online experience ever
seen in a fighting game. Up to 4 players can battle “tag-team”; 2 players can team up in the new “Co-op Arcade
Mode” or compete against another team online.

quoted from the press-release.. this sounds like good stuff..(especially since I liked the 2 player tag system in DoA2) I'm mostly sold on it now ><
