The game launches on all platforms simultaneously

Ha! Good I'm not alone.

A different team is handling the last gen ports so beware.

You really think NRS would just hire any ole' team? Sure, it's a different team and sure NRS focus is on the current gen versions, but that doesn't mean they haven't chosen a team who are working as delicately as they can to make the best 360/PS3 version there can be. Stop with the fear mongering.

Well, shave my knees and call me Sally, I take back what I said.

You really think NRS "hired" a studio to port MKX? No. WB owns all of the assets and code NRS produce. WB are taking those assets and handing them to a team of their choosing. I'm sure NRS will then be in contact with that studio, but that does NOT mean that NRS are doing any sort of quality control on that last gen versions.

Issuing a warning to last gen users is VERY fair. Like I've said, I'm expecting modes and possibly even characters to be cut from last gen. There's just not the same amount of room on last gen media. It's happening with other cross-gen games and will likely happen with MKX. So yes, last gen beware.

Dilemmas, dilemmas.

This is first and foremost, my main concern at this point. Can't be having a brand new yet watered down MK experience.

I've already started putting away spare change, including $1's, $5's, and whatever else I might have jingling around at the end of the day. Hoping this will suffice.

PS4, Kollector's Edition, DLC, Strategy Guide, Comic, Action Figures.

Lawd help meh.

I'm for sure taking this seriously, thank you "Guy-sitting-on-his-ass-behind-a- computer- screen-who- is-in -no way- affiliated- with-NRS or WB -and- therefor -don't know shit -about -what can - and - what won't be -cut"- you're simply repeating the same thing over and over. Is it possible things can be cut? Yes. Is it possible things won't be cut? Yes. But either way no one needs you swooping down like a giant paranoid crow every damn time someone speaks opposite of the doom and gloom you're shitting out.

And stop splitting hairs about WHO hired the studio- what I meant was I'm sure NRS have complete faith in the team doing the last gen versions and I'm sure that team is working their asses off trying to make the best version possible and I believe( you obviously don't as you've stated this twenty damn times already)- everything will be FINE. If it's not, lick your tongue out at me and call me an idiot 6 months from now, but in the meantime I'm sure everyone is making sure the 360/PS3 versions are QUALITY products, otherwise why bother making trash people won't buy?

Actually Ed Boon himself stated in one of the E3 interviews that he didn't know how they were going to make it work on last gen consoles. It's not fear mongering, folks SHOULD beware of cross gen ports, it's a mixed bag.

Welp i'm getting the PS4 version(since I am getting it on Christmas and will need more games on said system). ????

I'll get the XB1 version around next year.

Thanks for that huge, hyphenated bit. Very descriptive.

It's actually very important t to keep in mind who is actually managing the project. WB is making the decisions. WB is a huge, multimedia company that really only cares about profits. That is why the game is cross-gen to begin with. WB wants a version of MKX in as many hands as possible.

Again, you'll likely claim that this all just conjecture. It's a bit more than that, however. I'm looking at other instances where similar situations have happened for comparison. One good example is another WB game, Batman Arkham Origins. WB literally took of Rocksteady's Arkham assets and gave them to a different developer for the sole reason of having a new Arkham game to sell that year, since Rocksteady's next proper iteration wouldn't be ready and would be Next Gen exclusive. Money.

As far as cut content goes, I'm looking at the new WWE 2K game. Cross gen. However, the 360 and PS3 versions have content cut. Whole modes of the game missing. I believe there was also a delay between the next gen and last gen version's release.

Same happened with Shadow of Mordor, another WB title. The last gen version's release were delayed at least a month. This is an important issue to MK fans that want the game as soon as possible. When the next gen version is priority, things like delays on ported versions happen often.

The only reason why I'm so insistent on the stance of "Last Gen Beware" is because I don't want anyone surprised come next April. It's very possible, likely even, that there will be differences besides just graphical ones. I don't want anyone to be disappointed with something they've waited so long and earnestly for.

Lastly, I'm really not one for "I told ya so." I will not be calling anyone idiot. That would be petty. Tom Petty.
