I thought the Intro was harcore man. I liked the fact that everyone was causing havok on each other!!! The sword fight between Scorp and Sub-Zero was an instant classic. Great Intro Cant wait until I pick this game up.

Best intro made, I love it when Stryker hits Mileena and Starts running up the Pyramid. I agree, that was hilarious. Every fight was great, and I really like it when Shao kahn went Krazy. Plus Jax was beating the living hell out of Quan Chi. Alot of them die at the beginning. Johnny hitting Sonya... THAT was funnyglasses. That's what I have to say. Wait, the graphics could've been better.

The more I look at it the less I like this intro.

If I must be positive so all the fan boys dont eat me, I repeat, it looks amazing, but thats just it.

WHY didnt they eploit the real depth of Mk???......why.....?
i'm loving because it's non canon.
if this like actually happened then yeah i'd hate it to.
but i'm taking it for what it is, when the game loads up this is the first thing were going to see so i think it's just to get us pumped and excited.

and i think the reason why they didn't...eploit? the depth of mortal kombat is because there are 62 characters in this game.
i really don't think they'd make a opening intro that explains the back story of this game because they'd have to tell the back stories of every single character in the game or atleast every single character that make a decent appearence in the intro.
jax for instance or kunglao all that would need explaining and i doubt totally and completely that the MKTeam would make an intro that explains everything that happened with so many characters.

not trying to sound like a crazed fan boy or anything but i think to many people are looking into way to much.
it's not here to explain the story, thats what konquest and character bios are for, it's here get us excited to play the game.

like said in the actual intro "Armageddon Has Begun"
so i think the intro does a good job of showing us that.


Bios could had helped to explain what happened to characters, but the intro could had been developed with more powerful fashion by starting off where MKD ended and giving us some sort of story that develops from there....I dont know, like Ermacs ending for example and then something else, etc.

I just think it could had been so much better, but yes, at least visually, it looks good. But I just cant seem to like it, oh well. sad

I hadn't noticed that person until now. Perhaps it's Taven.

Another thing i noticed (soz, another post)

As the pyramid starts to rise, (right after Darrius tumbles down it) when u start to see it shoot out the ground, to when it stops right infront of Shao Kahn, do you notice that two fighter get flipped away by the rising structure? who were they? I think one is Jarek but I have no idea who the other is.

Its kinda funny how they just sort of get flipped away.

I loved it more for the graphics and the battles but just because of the story I think MKD may have a better intro but this was awesome if it was only a better story

I believe its Kai and Jarek.

You can see both standing in front of the Pyramid as it first appears and Kahn stops with his hammer-hitting. One is definitley Jarek and the other I think is Kai, because Im sure you can see his white arm markings. Tanya gets knocked down by it too I think.

First off, That was one of the koolest intro I've seen since MK:SM, MK:D, and Onimusha 3.

At the beginning when they clashed, did anyone see when Ermac owned Rain with a clothesline (about :47 secs). I was like "Damn"!
Also Hsu Hao taking down Kenshi with a roundhouse was cool.

Amazing video, I loved it shame bout the story line but remember Konquest tells you what happens from deception to armageddon.
Hoping the opening in the game will be a bit longer.
Can't believe Sub-Zero got blown off by Shang Tsungsad

I will just quote myself but add a few new coments I forgot to mention before:

........*sigh* sad sad

The intro looks awesome, it does make you want to see more but:

- The story is fucked, its horrible.
- It felt terrible since the start....what a huge dissapointment.
- I really really dont like it. Its got no essense! It feels like the real power of the story was just, thrown away.....badly.

Visually it might look impressive, but it doesnt go anywhere else from there........feels sucky. Not to mention that they kept showing the same characters over and over again insted of focusing on others like Ashrah, Cage, Sonya, Hotaru, etc etc etc. There are like over 60, why use the same guys?

As for the good parts......aside from the fact that it *looks* awesome....the only thing that comes to mind is the hilarious scream Sonya does when Cage.....CAGE knocked her off the pyramid!!!! grin I cant stop laughing.

Bastard.

Well, also Shinnoks skull hands, Quan Chis skeletons, Shao Kahn going crazy, Onaga taking Kahn away (awesome!), Liu Kang VS Tsung, Stryker punching Mileena, Mileenas scream when she is knocked off, etc.

But all that feels so unimportant now that Im starting to worry the story will be crap.


Most of the time I agree with you, but I hated where the story was going anyway. The whole "One Being" thing was dumb anyway, so I don't mind that they changed the story. I think the game and story looks awesome none-the-less

I just don't like how the characters just become greedy, mindless dumbasses... Eh what the fuck.. I shouldn't care anymore since it's all just going to be "reset" so to speak but it still pisses me off how anti-climatic and non-sensical the entire thing is.

Maybe it's the fact that Li Mei just blindly leaps onto Hotaru's naginata like a gazelle at the fucking beginning (P.S. I'm a huge Li Mei fanboy) that just made me twitch...but nah, it's mostly because this game isn't going out with a bang... It's not even going out with a whimper... It's going out with a huge "WTF?!"

This is because the insider version is higher quality. Thus, larger file.

I didn't. Only place I giggled (and it wasn't like a madman) was when Stryker bitch slapped Mileena.

The more I look at that intro, the more I think it looks like Onaga's in the mood to ass-rape Shao Kahn by the way he grabs him and carries him off into the mountains. grin
