....what the heck did I just see? I am utterly amazed. That was such a deviation in look and style, and I LOVE what I see so far! I think Professor Ahnka described it best, at least for me: this feels like Deadly Alliance when it was revealed: so different, so fresh, and so serious compared to the past entries. I am loving how the look of the characters and costume models are more serious and realistic now...THESE costumes are what Kombatants should look like. And the backgrounds, love them so far. Mysterious, intriguing, and not over-the-top like the last entry. I didn't really care for MK2011 because to me, well, aesthetically it looked kind of ugly to me. This is just beautiful so far.

I think I am really digging the female character.

One thing is certain: they are definitely NOT from Earthrealm. Are we seeing the return of the other realms here? I could easily place her as coming from Chaosrealm. Both her and the big dude, actually.

Well MK certainly looks...different. But I like that, the past few games have been so much about nostalgia trips that it feels great to have a game like Deadly Alliance that comes a long and gives the MK universe a completely new feel.

The female new character looks great, but I'm not so sure about the big dude and that smaller midget thingy. Those two for me seem so not MK like.

But the game looks fantastic. Still hoping there aren't too many newbies, I want to see some of my favorites reimagined.


The more I think about it, the more this rings true. The designs of the new characters are very much like Deadly Alliance. Completely from left field and not what we're used to at all.

Given I stated in the other thread I'm disappointed about the characters looks, I won't write them off. I'll keep my mind open as what I've seen with the mysterious blue man, Scorpion and Sub-Zero I really, really like.

I'm wondering though for these drastically different looks, might we be getting introduced to new races? New realms? New gods?

It certainly seems like anything, at this point, is possible.

Yes we have, it was already confirmed as a third new character. There's pictures of him in this thread showing him.

People that don't like the new characters are two things. First, rushing to judgment, you have absolutely no idea how these characters play, despite having shown some very interesting moves.

Two, jaded by the years of shitty-ass, mundane, muddled characters that were likely born from all kinds of financial, technical and time restrictions. These guys fit right in MK. MK is bat-shit insane characters. These are the characters that come from unleashing the team. Letting them create characters without having to worry about all the restrictions of a dying company or old hardware. Fuck yes to this!

More insane monsters, hot-ass chicks, bad-ass ninjas and sorcerers! MORE CRAZINESS! MORE GORE! FFFFFUUUUCKKK YEAA!!!

Embrace the change.


MK fans despise change. They'll be thrilled to remain in 1995.


This trailer gave me the same dark vibe as MK:DA. If the new direction keeps it on that track.......I'm all for it!


Me too. That's what I loved about Deadly Alliance, it was a game that was determined to flip the series on its head and enter fresh new territory- it was NOTHING like the previous four games. That's what MKX is feeling like . MK9 I'm guessing was a sorta send off to the past, one last final hurrah, and this will be the true rebirth of the series. I welcome the change.

Nah, it has the new, fresh feeling of MKDA mixed with the darkness of MKD. MKDA wasn't all that dark but it was a new direction for the series, and MKD was just very gritty. Combo of both here in my opinion.

I am truly stunned to see people already saying they're ditching the game after two trailers that hardly gave us a more in depth insight about what this game is going to feature. You're really sitting here saying you're ditching this game already? Jesus, some of you are really the nit pickiest bunch of people I have ever seen. We have no clue who these new characters are, and already they're getting hate. We have no idea what to expect other than going by two trailers. I mean honestly, what in the world will make you people happy? Because I'm lost for words here.

And yeah, I did enjoy the trailer, because that's something I wasn't expecting. I had no clue what Boon meant when we saw his Twitter thing saying that he's going to be showing us two brand new characters. For all I know, I was guessing that it was just a character we saw already and he was just lying out his rear end. But man, already complaining and saying that you're not even getting it. Please, go away then.

I don't wanna be a hater, but I'm not impressed at all.

Game play looks stiff and like Injustice.
Kudos for the Fatalities (so far) They look great and deep!
I was hoping for realistic graphics MK, MK 2 & MK 3 style.
The Giant and the midget look like the boss from Vendetta is you played that game on the arcades :D

I was really hoping for great improvement on the graphics! Wtf ? I thought this game is on the next gen consoles. Looks the same as Injustice and the old MK to me.

Anyway when I see more footage I hope to be more impressed. So far - been there done that.

You can't forget about the ones who claimed they were leaving after the debut trailer for MK9. If I remember correctly "Characters looked too cartoony"

The joys of the community...

My hype level droped to almost zero after this trailer. I lost my hope that they are able to design interesting characters without John Tobias. After he left Midway it all started to go horribly wrong. Everything came back together for MK9 when they decided to go back to the roots but now they went off track again. I see some of you like it but I will probably skip this one.


You have horrible taste. The new characters look awesome. Infinitely better than anything from DA-Armaggedon. They look to have great designs technically and stylistically.

Go away. Mortal Kombat is finally back to being an incredible franchise and a top fighter.


You really want to judge my taste here? This means only people that have taste exactly like yours have a good one? This is my personal opinion and I don't force it on anyone.

John Tobias left MK franchize after MK4 and I dont like any characters that came after this game. I dont understand your comparison to DA-Armaggedon.

Btw, given how the left characters seems to initiate and end the entry conversations, I think we might see 2 variations of conversations between each 2 characters which would be nice (and a lot of work, that could mean around 600 different dialogues or more depending on roster sice).

Sounds like "our", which I assume refers to Bi-Han and Kuai Liang.
It's funny, because when Ed tweeted that dialogue a few days ago, he must've mistakenly put it as "my innocence."

If Scorpion and SubZero were not here, I would not have known what game it was.

Only liking the third guy.

100% not digging the new characters.

I know it's early, I know we know nothing about them, but my god they seem so out of place. Watching just those two fight I actually forgot I was watching MK.

At least the gameplay looks good, and really fast.

Thank fuck I'm not the only one. I did not like them whatsoever, I thought I was watching a different game tbh.

I'm with you, I think we're possibly looking at more gods making an appearance besides just Raiden.

Just for argument's sake, if this is somehow about alternate dimensions crossing and possibly Shinnok, there's no way it's just gonna be Raiden and maybe Fujin.

They both sounded like scenes from Story Mode, to be honest.

Did anybody else notice Wasp Lady petting the giant grub sitting on her arm? Fucking love that shit.

So Scorpion can do a Hadoken now.

I am really impressed by the amount of special moves we saw in that trailer just between Scorpion and Sub-Zero alone. Scorpion had a whole slew of new stuff.
