I have 132 images from the first trailer alone. Plus they are twice the size and better quality than the ones on your site as I ripped mine from the Quicktime movie.

-CONS-
-Character design-
Everyone looks like some sort of cheesy comic book character (with some exceptions). You're either playing as some sort of futuristic Space Ninja/Samurai, or a female character that's barely wearing her spandex super-hero costume. Look at Mileena and Li Mei fighting in the first mov at 00:00:41, they're essentially the same design. And of course all the male character have to have big meaty hands and clunky armored-boots.

-Interaction-
While it's cool and all to have background interaction, i'd like it to happen realisticly. In the 1st mov at 00:00:33 Li Mei kicks Ermac against a window causing it to shatter but he doesn't seems to actually make contact with the window (he's like a foot or 2 away). For something like this where you see the character hit against an invisible wall, it just comes off as not well done (and please don't give me the "well, it's hard to program" excuse, cause it's done perfectly well in DOA).

1st mov 00:00:50 Scorpion picks up that stage weapon that is obviously a two-handed sword, but when he's not attacking with it he holds it as easily he would a knife. It seems like it would make sense not only realistically, but even gameplay-wise to give it a bit more weight as a disadvange to be carrying such a powerful weapon.

-Fatalities/Character Movement-
I was hoping they might change the cheesy flailing that the victim does right before they are killed by the grinder stage fatality...no dice.

For the most part the fatalities are still rather boring or too unrealistic for me. I'd like to see (and maybe i still will) some more character-specific kills that make sense coming from the person that's executing them. For some reason Mileena has the strength to tear off a persons leg and the quickness to jerk it off while standing? Plus, moves like that are pretty generic and could be done by anyone. Another example is samurai-type guy (Hotaru?). He uses his incredible samurai-skill to smash Ermac repeatedly on the ground until he falls apart from the shock of the impact...whoopie.

All in all it's more of the same kinda of stuff i didn't like in DA thats still doesn't do it for me in this game. Some of the issues are technical, and may be addressed in the final release, but most are just design/creative choices that keep pushing me away. Anywhoo, to the people that actualy read this whole thing, thanks for giving my opition a listen. I'm sure that those of you who are really into the way these games are going are gonna get a great game.

Cheers!



the character designs in mk6 are fantastic. about 1/2 the fighters in mk5 looked terrible. i am extremely pleased with the most of the designs so far. as for your other complaints, you must be new to the mk series. boon has stated time and time again that mk is all about over-the-top physics and fatals. realism with spot-on physics is not the goal of mk. if you are looking for that, find another fighting franchise. air combos, knocking people across the screen, ripping limbs off, etc., is a staple for mk.

THankyou!
Also a thankyou to konqrr for the pics from the trailer
The lighting effects look very good. They compare to Splinter Cell's.

Personally? I think all the fatalities shown on that trailer sucked ass.

I mean, Ermacs? That was just basically Shang's from MKDA. Milenna's? A head bite that looked alot like Nitara's neck bite, and a leg rip that was just goofy as hell. Yeah, cuz most legs are sharp enough that they can decapitate someone, sure.

*sigh* why can't she take both her sais, slowly walk up to her wobbling foe, then jam both sais in either side of her opponenet's head? Why can't she jab at their stomach till their guts come pouring out?

I also agree with whoever talked about Hotaru's fatal. "In my years of ancient samurai training, I will grab your leg, and smash you like a dead fish."

It be cool if he could take out his sword, or whatever default weapon he has, take a few lighting cuts around his opponent's body. Sheath his sword, then watch as the person's body falls apart like meat cutlets.

If all of MKD's fatals are like the one's shown in the trailer...then me, as a Cube owner, well, I'm not missing out on much.

Anyone who sees this and doesn't get pumped is setting themselves up for dissapointment.

-F.

No one has the Quicktime versions for download yet?

No, you're right, MK has always been about crazy physics and over-the-top action. But even putting aside the fact that i'm personally sick of all the crazyness, the fatalities are still just running out of steam. Like the one The-Switcher mentioned for Ermac, not only is it like
Shang's from DA, but it's also the same basic idea as Hotaru's in the same game- Beating someone to the ground and having them "explode". I mean, I loved all the fatalities in MKII. They were all fresh and different from each other. As for character design, I can't express my point any more than I have in my first post. Like I said, if you're down with how everything turning out, you'll no doubt end up with a great game come October.

Hell yea, I cant stand streaming video, I've had clear pictures watching Pink Floyd's the wall on mushrooms, im actually sitting here fighting the urge to spend 25 bucks so I can just download them already.

25 bucks? Don't spend all that money on this, better save on the game when it appears in october. I'm sure there is a link where you can download the Quictime versions for free .

yea thats true, I should hang onto as much loot as I can, im playing in the World Series of Poker in a couple weeks, wooooot!

This is probably pretty obvious to everybody else but since I haven't played MK:DA who is supposed to be the guy at the beginning of the second trailer fighting Mileena (or Li Mei or whoever it is)?! Is it supposed to be Kenshi? It looks like Reiko to me...

uhm is that a brutality im seeing at the end of trailer 1 performed by Limei?
i also noticed something at trailer 2 at 00:18, look at the blocking they dont just stand still anymore the blow is really blocked depending on where its comming from.

That was awesome bro, thanks alot for posting those up.

Who really gives a crap who posted it first? It's the God damn internet, it's not like recieving credit on finding a video online is going to win yourself the fucking Pulitzer's Prize or anything. Some of you people are obsessed. Kel-X, get a life.

amen. 1000% agree. only complete losers really give a shit if some fan site puts their internet nickname in the news for "finding" a video.
