Sereena's "ugh" sound after a jump is really irritating.

I’m not feeling Rain’s fighting style.

I'd rather he had something more like a mix of tai chi and Hakkyoku-ken

Lei Fang from DOA4
Akira from VF5

So, like water his attacks can flow or crash.

Am I the only one who thinks Rain's specials look totally retarded and unoriginal?

A waterbeam... wow.

Yeah, i'm not diggin' them too much either. I didn't think they were going to make him totally water related. I hope they bring back his super roundhouse kick

My thoughts exactly. I expected it to look like a joke, but somehow it managed to look even WORSE than I thought it would.

This game looks like absolute CRAP.

Rain should have the lighting move that Nightwolf have

Care to explain?

What's there to explain? It looks stiff, dull, and 5 years behind from a technical standpoint.

I'll explain instead :)
This whole game (none different from MK5/6) looks like MK-Barbie dolls or Robot MK Chicken if you will. The fighters look like fake plastic and their movements make them look like handycapped (no offense, whatsoever).
(The motion capture sucks, plain and simple)
The 2d MK's were cool cause they used digitized people instead of cheap models you can download in www.free3dmodels.com.

They need to take lessons from Tekken and VF in terms of graphics and animation.

I'm saying , keep your own style (fast and bloody) but open your mind and look around at the quality level of other games.

Even Tomb raider has better animation !

peace,
Meat on a Hook

Pretty much what Jigsaw said.

The graphics are clearly outdated. The models look bulky as ever. Animation sucks (Rain's moves make me laugh). Some fighting games made 3-5 years ago actually look better than this game(e.g Virtua fighter).

Sheeva looks like a dragon from the 70's because of that outfit and the piece hanging down.

I heard someone say davesmk.com has the videos too. Edit: I think I typed this on the wrong page or wrong thread lol

I like how Rain is strictly a water based ninja now, it makes him pretty unique!

Why are they putting the Kharacters from the last two games in their old costumes? Sub-Zero was in his MKDA alternate & Scorpion is in his MKD main. Reptile & everyone else from the other 2 games will probably be the same. That's kinda cheap if you ask me. They were good outfits, but at least make some changes. Other than that, this game is gonna be awesome!!! I like Rain's water cannon and the "smash somebody into another arena" thing is back. YES!!! Just like the good ole days.

Awesome.

This game really does look bad... Awful visuals and the same brain dead fighting mechanics as before, yet we knew it would be so.

Same old rubbishy gameplay, can't wait to see what crap Boon+Co will say at E3 to all the questions about this.

I'm not so sure about that though perhaps he could use one of the Taijiquan styles...

MK:A is going to be so awesome...I can't wait until it comes out

How can you say the gameplay is horrible if you haven't played it yet? Watching streamed videos is very different from playing the actual game. And to respond to everyone comparing MK to Tekken and VF graphics, Namco and Sega are much richer than Midway so they can afford more technology. If you want it to look better, donate millions to Midway or stop crying about it.

Somebody needs to explain this in their sig and just leave it there for everyone to see.


I appreciate what Midway is trying to do with the crazy amount of aesthetic content and customisation, so props to them for that, but all i'm seeing so far is exactly what was wrong with the previous games, which is aggravating, but expected. Still, I will not buy or support this product. I think i'll just skip this game completely and wait until the next gen titles are being worked on to see if they've listened to what people are telling them.

Listening to Ed Boon though, it does at least sound like he's aware on some level that there are balance issues in these games, so hopefully they really get on it next time around.

Since they are putting a lot of effort in have all characters, air combos, changes in the fighting sytem, new death traps, kak mode, konquest mode, secret mode, yada yada yada...

I think the graphics are really good. Deadly alliance had beautiful arenas, but only to look. There were no interactivity with them.

did anyone like me go into windows movie maker and combine all the gamespot videos into one movie?

yes yes i did vasculio i now have an 8 minute gameplay footage i was thinking of putting the trailer in there as well at the beginning

lol i did same exact thing!

The interview, follow by the clips in order.
