Looks to play just about exactly like I thought it would. The thing I guessed, but never could've anticipated, was them making the thing play///or look like it played like the 2D games. Which is a good thing btw. That makes me wanna at least play the thing.

Fatalities look exactly like what I thought. There's a little bit more realistic effect to Scorpions toasty fatality, and I think the graphics look good in-game overall, but like I say, that's exactly like I thought it would be.

T-Rating = I thought so.

Another thing, I like how they're using the colors in this game too (of course, in particular, the MK stuff). But, I think they should add some kind of aesthetic to the fatality screen so it's more "scary" than it looks(maybe have darkness "crawl" over the screen or something, instead of just turning black. that'd be more interesting I think). Also, anybody notice that for Scorpion and Supermans fatalities, both of their eyes turn yellow(fire?)? Maybe it has to do with the story? Otherwise, I think that's pretty lame that they share stuff.

Overall from the previews and such, I have to say that it looks like the sort of "update" MKD & MKA should have gotten(more or less), and therefor still looks like one of those old games. Besides that it looks fine....which, I guess isn't a whole lot...but still.

Yeah.... the glowing eyes I don't care for. It looks like someone in the story is controlling them to do the finishers, like puppets.

that video was sick! i loved sub zeros ice block move. The whole gameplay seemed to flow really nicely. i also like all the damage each character had them. Batmans cape was all messed up.

did anyone notice the select screen behind Boon? I think i looks awesome.

i am so pumped for this game now . itd be better if Reptile gets put in.

The glowing eyes is silly to be concerned with IMO, I noticed it might just be a small thing like say a few possibilities

A. Again...early build, perhaps they didn't have time to "alter" certain fatality effects in time for this little demo....

B.Scorpion's face should glow because of his fire effect, Supes also for his heat vision

C. It might be story related, but honestly this isn't a big deal....

A lot of these things are no doubt also due to the "early builds" and with early builds you'll see lots of incomplete stuff, which is normal actually.

This.

The discussion should end right here.

glad we got to see some fatalities. to bad superman got one of sheeva's old ones but i guess it suits him more.

i guessed that scorpions fatality would end the way it did. i knew there was no way DC was going to let their heroes die like that. in both finishers neither opponent looked dead though with scorpion i guess it was more implicit than with superman when you could clearly see sub-zero still alive.

What do you mean? lol just bringing up valid points, Supes eyes glow when he shoots his heat vision or gets pissed(sometimes he just doesn't have to shoot it) and Scorpion's whole head glows, but honestly we only saw these two characters and not everyone else in the game or demo so far so once again....SOME of the MK fanbase assuming shit....

Supes is a little different then Sheevas, she put you in with 4 arms, his I think makes more sense being that he's "Superman" and I like the arms hanging out of the ground lol that's cool

Flash's flurry punch, looks exactly like Li Mei's fatality from MKD.

I think it looks a bit different and WAYYY faster lol, way lol. Then again he is The Flash, he looks nuts in this game honestly.

I'm using Supes though hehe, Supes=Top tier

Supes looks broken, but it's cool. I'll use Captain Marvel to tame his ass. And Li Mei's was better imo.

I'm saying you brought up a very valid and reasonable point that I myself was thinking of. You hit the nail on the head,man.

After a argument that strong,trying to carry on the discussion on that particular point further is pointless.

Crap.

Can anyone please help with some links to be able to download the vids instead of streeming?

Many thanks in advance

Man I can't wait for more news about this.I love how you have a little mini game when you get into close combat or when you are falling.Great twist in this.

Sheeva would not be impressed.

On a serious note, I'm kind of actually liking what I'm seeing. I don't want to get my hopes up but things are looking pretty nice.

Heat has no visible manifestation. Hell, Supermans heat vision is not just heat vision. I recall a comic where this was adressed and he had no visible red beams, instead the targeted surface began to boil (which was some poor schmucks hand).

2D combat? Ah, the proverbial cyanide capsule for MK. This is over with.

You can't watch them on neither Internet explorer,



or Firefox?




Is it just your PC doesn't process the videos right? Anyway, I have both of them readily available to me. Some sites don't play QuickTime vids and such with FireFox, so I just copy the webpage URL, open up Internet Explorer, paste and load the page in that, and it works.

Mainly I use Firefox though, and everything works fine. Windows Media Player, FlashPlayer, and QuickTime Player usually gets it for me though. I almost never have a problem with thoughs as my media players.

Nice! The game looks fun to play, more like the old games which is good. I guess they finnally get the point a bit. Too bad that they didn't do this with the last MK games, but better late then never. I hope that the improvements made with MK9 and further are bigger.

Free fall, is a nice touch..but nothing special. Klose Kombat, looks alright but still a bit skeptic about it.

The fatalities look like expected, nothing special going on there. Nice effects with Scorpions fatality. Too bad for the T rating, because after Flash is set on fire...there isn't much happening.

Overall, the game looks much better then before. They are heading for a good direction, I hope they can hold up. Also after this game.

I like scorpion's Toasty, but it was so short. Right after Scorpion sets Flash on fire he just falls to the floor. I think Flash should have burned and staggered a bit longer and then fell to his death. I actually thought at first when they said the Toasty was back that Scorpion was going to burn the opponent to a pile of ashes. But I must say I do like the charred enemy better, just want it lengthier.

I'm not impress at all. Maybe it's the fact that I can't get over the way Ed Boon decided to scratch every concept idea that was promised on the MK Krypt to come out with this crap known as MK vs. DC. Instead, we get superheroes with spandex and silly features. Anyone notice that the MK Crew got rid of character's fighting styles?

Of course we noticed all these things. Personally I'm glad that the fighting styles are gone. They've gone back to basics and it's basically like the MK 2 fighting style. Everyone has pretty much the same basic moves, but it's their specials that set them apart from the next fighter.

i wasn't a fan of multiple fighting styles either. it was more annoying than anything IMO. i just hope we don't see TOO MANY reused attack animations between the characters. i accept that we will see a few considering this is mortal kombat but i hope it's not to much.

also superman has an ugly win pose.

I'm getting more and more impressed by the trailers we see. A job well done by the MK crew since I thought the trailers from last weeks looked good already!

Gameplay looks better and better. Free fall kombat seemed smooth, Surely a bit faster than before. also, I'm happy we got some footage on Klose Kombat. It seems to be who pushes their buttons the fastest is gonna be the big winner. Like the idea, just think it may not suit me very well, lol . Not to forget the 2D elements they speak of, this was very nice to hear.

The fatality's are indeed not bad, but more what you could have expect from a T rated game. Not too brutal, but still fun to be doing to start with.

Ohh ok, my fault I misunderstood you lol. no harm, no foul lol

His HV still lights up his eyes none the less if you follow DC/Superman over the years and is only heat vision. I think you might be thinking of his other visions. He has Heat vision, X-ray vision and a combination of both called Super Vision which he had early on and I believe still does but rarely is ever talked about. 2D Kombat IS what majority of MK fans want, so I'd say this is great actually. Of course they still give you the option for sidestepping via the analog stick but for the most part it's a 2D fighting game.

What the shit are you talking about? Everyone knows that the best MK games were the 2D ones.

Are we still in the Nintendo era? Certain games are better in their 2-d form such as Street fighter. But I disagree with you if you say 2-D MK games are better than the 3-D ones.
