hahaha you're funny.

any new ps3 game is shitting on the mk trailer. yeah, it looks GOOD but it dont look like any of the new games with unreal engine.

it looks like they took the same fighting engine, put it on ps3, smoothed out the frame rate a lil bit... and added a few details to the backgrounds.

it is NOT a redesign. it is NOT next-gen looking.

Are people really that blind that they cant see the graphics are bad? This is supposed to be running on Unreal Engine and next gen systems! If this was an original X-box or PS2 this would be a great looking game, but it is supposed to be next gen. Plus what really irks me is the fact that Boon said that this game would be a total redesign but the fighting still looks as stiff as MKD! Plus WTF is with the recycled voices? I know its an early build, but when the first trailers for MKD came out not much changed from what the final product was. I feel like we should all expect better of MK8 instead of trying to kiss Boon's ass. And why shouldn't I compare MK8 to its peers such as SC4 and VF5? They are fighting games after all. Go take a look at MKA and compare it to the new trailer. Is there anything substantially different about it? NO!! People need to wake up and smell the excrement and stop telling those of us that expect more of a MK game to stop complaining. I have played every MK fighting game ever and am a huge fan, I was excited to hear about MK8 but this has been a huge letdown so far, and it has nothing to do with Batman or DC, because Im sure that if the trailer had been jaw dropping and innovative with smooth looking animations and Gears of War type graphics Im sure the negativity would have been far less.

"it sadly is nowhere near what the Unreal III engine is capable off."
What the are you talking about? wait for some high res footage, and by the way, even the trailer show some nice grapichs. GaelX i dont know what your problem is but calm down, and stop with the fundamentalistic statements and tell what excactly what graphicel features MK VS DCU is lagging instead of saying: shit shit shit. please show any game that looks much better then MK VS DCU. i think that would be Crysis, but cant think of anything else. thank you.


Mk vs Dcu looks much better then Mka (sorry for the low res photo but cant find any high-res)

Sc4 looks much better then Sc3, but it cant compete against the unreal3 engine.


the only engine that can compete with unreal3 engine is the crytek2 engine.

I suggest everyone watch the trailer in HD. The graphics are pretty good (not incredible, but not terrible) and the gameplay looks solid.

Of course, I'm judging this on about 30 seconds of footage, and everyone should wait until E3 to decide if they want the game or not. As an MK fan, I already know I'm gonna give it a try.

Yeah the graphics are honestly not that bad, there pretty good. But thats not UR's full potential.

I agree that they might not be able to use the FULL potential of the unreal3 engine, but no console at the moment would be able to do that. So games like UT3, Mk vs dcu, gears of war, halo3; the next gen console games will never be able to look better then that.

A thing i think every one i forgetting is, even if you had a bad grapichs engine you could still make it look great. Eg, if you played fallout1-2 you would know it looks terrible but they really got the most out of it, so even thought its a game from 1995 it looks quite good.


I think crysis is the best looking game i have played.

You guys are making a fuss over a game that was first shown 2 days ago and still has 7 months to develop. There is time. Stop freaking out prematurely.

Thank you mr. TheScrew.


and i would like people to back up their claims.
instead of saying MKVSDCU looks the same as MKA by all means show us!

Looking at Midway's track record, I'd say no one should put their expectations up too high.

Please explain nathan.

thank you.

Explain? Where have you been the last couple years?

^ This.

Yeah, the graphics don't look that impressive neither does the gameplay. That said I shall reserve judgement until I see more.

Nathan, i just dint understand what it was you where trying to say.

but did you mean to say that MKDA MKD MKA dint sell very good and that would result in MK VS DCU not being the wonder game every one i hopeing for? The Truth: please show a game with impressive graphics.

You're funny too, for judging the game on a little, first teaser...because that's very logical right there lol

It still looks good for a first teaser, B. Like Shin Akuma said try watching it on HD not some fanmade youtube vid and you'll notice the graphics more and C. again...if you compare most games with their first trailer vs. the finished product. Yeah...kind of different speaking as how they polish, improve and looks more crisp as oppose to "the first teaser" which is far from done and just there to tease us and give us an idea...

It is a redesign and it is next-gen looking, you apparently didn't play the past few MK's that much have you? Well, I have LOTS so I know. And if you think it's the same fighting engine then you really don't know what you're talking about seriously. I've played all the MK's online at high level, I know this and believe me you couldn't grapple and counter like you can in this new game. I recommend you seriously observe the trailer again especially from a gameplay point of view. Not to mention TRMK also said that since you're in front of the actual trailer on the HD you can see the details a lot more then we can from a youtube video...I remember him saying you could see the details on the clothes and most people at the midway gamer show loved the look.

Pfftt PS3? you're kidding right? PS3=garbage all together....GTA isn't going to save the worst console out there, besides I'm getting this for the 360 the superior console in many ways, including online play. Later.

@shin akuma ha, ha man I totally agree but good luck getting that thru some fans heads...you'd have better luck talking to a wall

Why is the 360 superior? they are equal in strenght. and the only difference when playing online on the 360 is that you pay, its still the same game wether it is a ps3 or 360.

I'm not talking about sales. Numbers don't say anything about the quality of a game. Obviously the blood and gore alone sold millions of copies to pubescent teens. But the fighting mechanics were medicore at best.

Sure, I played the last 3 games as well, but simply because I'm a fan of the series and don't want to miss the opportunity to play with Scorpion for another round.

No one should expect the next game in the franchise to be any better than Midway's last 3 attempts. They tried which each game to improve the gameplay. And each time they managed to do the opposite.

So when they where sitting playing mk4 and got deadly alliance in your hands you said: "SHIT!"?

you are pretty hardcore if you are a fan of somthing you think are bad. and pleaes do tell what is was, that was so horrible about the last.

At first, of course not. But after a short time, the slow combat, the stiff movements and dial-a-combo got really tiresome. It simply didn't compare to other well known fighters.



I'm a fan of the Mythological background, characters and realms. Medicore gameplay doesn't suddenly make me hate all that.



Oh, I don't know. How about the handful of moves each characters had? The total lack of any coherent storyline? The run-of-the-mill Fatalities? The slow combat, stiff moevements and dial-a-combo from the last two games?

Take your pick.

From a graphical point of view, they're comparable but thus far most games to come out on both consoles have been said by majority of critics and fans that they looked better on the 360 but slightly. So, I guess that's your own personal preference

Online however, I know for a fact is way better on tthe 360. My friend has all 3 consoles, I've seen it and played it. Xbox is the top console for online gaming out of the 3 easily, in fact PS3 is trying to copy them now with their own market place, and plan to have movies, downloads just like the 360 did...

Then there's also the case of PS2 vs. Xbox one with MKD and MKA, it was crap for PS2 online...gamespy allowed gameshark cheats, it disconnected 100 more times then it did when I played on the xbox(which is actually moderated also btw) so they eliminated cheaters. If I'm sony and really want to compete with Xbox with MK8, I'm going to rid gamespy and get a new server along with the cheats online...

Slow combat? Deadly alliance was quite fast, the only games i can think of that could be faster is Street fighter alpha 3 and killer instinct1.

coherent story? like a linear story so all games are conected?
yes the original story is nowhere to be seen anymore, but i like change and try somthing difrent and try to be original so we dont get an army of copies wich the gamemarket is suffering at the moment.

but im sorry you dint enjoy the newer mortal kombat games, i had loads of fun with deadly allinace and deception and amergedon was kinda average.

but ofcause MK VS DC seen from a MK fans eyes is not a pretty sight. But true a gamers sight it is very delightfull!

If you play assassin creed on xbox360 or on the ps3 it will look 100% the same.

the xbox fans will of course say the xbox is better and playstation fans will say the ps is best.

That game overall isn't that great lol but it does look the same on both

I have xbox one, not a 360 yet...and a PS2 I used to play it online a lot whenever my friend would bring over that adapter or just go to his place so speaking from the online point of view I think Xbox is way better honestly.

As far as a fan of a console, I'm actually a nintendo supporter but when they weren't online until recently a few years ago I went with Xbox because of the moderated, better online play. The only reason I got an xbox honestly.

No he is not saying that. He is saying that the last couple of Mortal Kombat games have not been particularly great.

dude dont get me going again about you BS Facts about the online play of the xbox/360 and PS2/PS3.

the only difference is the Xbox has more features, which soon the PS3 will have.

you need to learn to use the words "in my opinion" that what your facts are just your opinion.

FYI ~ i use to also think that games like Tekken/SCal were button mashing games, however i come to learn since i started playing them that there not. sadly MK is behind the times in the gameplay department.

Yep. I see that too.

I hate the concept of this game for a few reasons actually, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't aT Least be appreciating the graphics I see in the trailer. The trailer's what's supposed to get everybody excited...and I wasn't impressed per a next gen Mortal Kombat game. I know, I know it's only two characters, and that's only one arena, BUT,

Go watch the other games' teasers...SC4, SF4, Tekken6, even just gameplay footage teasers of VF5..ect.. Those caught me...and actually have me pretty intrigued....and I hate most of those games except for SC.

I was Soooo CERTAIN that the MK trailer would dwarf theirs....and it DID NOT! No aspect of it kicked the other trailers' asses. It actually failed? How can that be? lol

Now, there are some good parts of the trailer, but I'm gonna make a thread about that later...

There is no excuse for poor "next gen" graphics. The rendered art even looks really similar to last gen stuff too.

WTF? And no, I didn't edit anything. I just copied and pasted.
