I noticed you can actual fight IN the graveyard now, amongst the graves. Thats a nice touch, rather than just constantly falling down never ending cliffs

I am liking what I see! Can't wait.

I don't know about 'depth' on the whole but it sure appears that there's more depth in this game than in the last few. Ultimately, the best combos and moves will be broken down and discovered and there won't be much point in using any other moves or combos which aren't as useful because that's just what happens in most fighting games. That's when we'll find out if the game has any depth.

But seriously interesting stuff. Sometimes I look at this games footage and think it looks absurdly broken and stupid, and sometimes I look at it and think it could be the best game since MK3. I'm really looking forward to finding out and I hope like anything that it rules as much as it looks like it potentially could.

The blood is in. If you look at the 6 screenshots released - in the one where Wonder Woman gives Raiden an uppercut - loads of blood there!

What the.... we never said anything against the gameplay or even the game itself. We were just wondering where all the blood is. I mean, I really really really like what I see. The whole combosystem is so refreshing and it looks downright great! And above all, I just love to perform long and massive combos (Arcade Sticks for the win).

But honestly. If they really cut all the blood out of the game just because they suddenly think it's too brutal for kids, It'll be kinda... stupid IMO.... or what do you think?

Anyway: Great game looks great!

I know. And if you look at all the other videos you can see lots and lots of blood too. But the question is: Why did they turn off the blood in this video here? That makes no sense.

They probably turned it off so you could see the Pro Move indicator thingy

Hmmm... okay, I'm cool with that explanation XD

nice

Gameplay appears to be great, which is a welcome suprise. It looks as if they took the best elements from MK2 and MKDA (the two best MK games, IMO), and mixed them up. They succeeded, it looks like this is gonna be a fun ride. The graphics appear to be much improved as well, and the whole feel of the gameplay feels much more speedier.

I hate how Kitana stole Mileena's moves btw, feels really cheap. That's my only complaint at this point.

This is one of those vids that make me want the game, I guess due to the combo's they've shown...which look good. But as soon as they start the reguar fighting, it turnes me off. But all in all..great vid...it looks like real fun. Kitana and Flash are the ones that popped out for me so far. The one Im still dissapointed bout is my fav..Sub Zero. I haven't seen any cool combo's with him. Where are his MK 2/3 like combo's?

On a side note..That dude on the right looks as stiff as hell or he just nervous for the camera. Escpecially when the dude on the left is being enthousiatic and the other one reacts really lifeless hehehehe

But nuff respect for them both giving this explanation. Nice job!

Jax. Has. His. Gotcha! Grab. Back.

Kudos for getting Captain Marvel's "lightning grab" right. It looks awesome! The graphics and speed look a lot better than earlier gameplay video.

What I meant by my comment was:

Who cares that they have the blood turned off for this video, the new gameplay in the video far outweighs any blood letting. We already know that the game contains blood from the previous videos. We also know that MK games have always had the ability to turn the blood on or off. It was obvious to me that they turned it of just to demo this video..

I'm just the kind of guy who is just a little jaded with the whole blood and fatality thing. Those aesthetic aspects of MK only keep my interest for a few weeks, then, I disable them to focus on competition. This new footage clearly demonstrates that the MK Team has finally listened to the hardcore fighting gamers. The inclusion of 2-in-1's and double motions for enhanced versions of special moves add's much needed depth to the MK franchise.

Just watch, when you look at some really high level matches, you'll see how all these elements really flesh out what MK should have had all along...

Actual, high level Game-play.

Sorry MK II fans, but even though MK II had some decent play mechanics(especially Kitana, Kung Lao and Scorpion), it paled in comparrison to Street Fighter II. MKvsDC looks to make up for that in droves.


Peace

WOW!!! It's like MKII on speed!!! I'm really liking what I'm seeing here. The combos look great and inventive. We'll see how indepth it is when the most brutal combos come out.
The graphics just keep getting better. The textures are fantastic. Lighting is superb. The framerate has to be at least 60FPS. At 2:15 you can clearly see scorpions skull face. Beautiful game.
By the look of it the gameplay will match the graphics. Still got my fingers crossed though.

So true. -_- (and Sonya's Wave Punch!)

Ok. So, some things worth to mention in order as we see them in the vid:

- There is no blood in most attacks and special moves.
- Sonya’s combos look very good.
- Sonya has a new fighting stand that looks awesome (even TKD like).
- You can see the huge damage of Sonya’s cloth. Her shirt is so ripped you can almost see her breasts.
- Sonya’s Bicycle kick pro-move is a dream come true.
- Kano looks very cool.
- Special Forces arena and DC Universe arenas look beautiful.
- Kitana’s combo attacks looks very very cool.
- Kitana’s steel fans don’t look as cool as they did before.
- Mileena’s roll move and Sonya’s Wave Punch were stolen by Kitana again. -_-
- Shang Tsung’s double skull fire ball rocks.
- Flash’s speed looks excellent.
- Green Lantern’s pro-moves and special moves look awesome.
- Characters facial expressions look fantastic.
- Catwoman’s whip attacks look great.
- Scorpion looks fun.
- Joker should STOP smiling a FEW times because it would make him cooler. I love the wicked smile even when he is hurt, but not all the time.
- The Batman arena looks awesome with the batman signal in the air.
- Liu Kang’s combos look cool.
- Wonderwoman and Kitana look plastic.
- Wonderwoman has a similar hand stand that just hits the opponent like Kai’s.
- Wonderwoman seems to be a heavy fighter.
- Shazam’s specials look cool.
- Wu Shi Academy is gorgeous.
- Sub-Zero’s ice block rocks.
- Kitana’s fan lift looks horrible.
- Kitana’s triple kick and fan combo looks great!!
- Sub-Zero’s self freezing looks very cool.
- Sub-Zero’s kicks look nice.
- Joker’s bomb is very cool.
- Batman’s batarang looks silly.
- Jax looks awesome.
- Batman’s leg grab and kicks and combos look cool.
- Shang Tsung’s fire ball to the ground is nice,
- Special Forces arena seriously looks stunning! The graphics are so beautiful!
- Supermans freeze is awesome.
- Flash combo hits are great.
- Shazam still reminds me of Superman, but his lighting special move looked fantastic! The way the victim struggles in his arms rock!
- Wonderwomans pro move (where she splits) looks awesome.
- Baraka’s blade fury looks nice, but his pro move is kind of silly.
- Sonya’s energy rings look as awesome as always.
- Sonya’s Leg Grab pro-move is another dream come true (double leg grab! Yay!).
- Lex Luthor’s missiles and his foot thing look cool.
- Superman’s laser vision is so Cyclops it rocks!
- Catwoman’s air whip looks fantastic.
- Superman’s air laser vision also rocks!
- Baraka’s open mouth when Superman is about to slam him to the ground is priceless!!!
- Kanos cannonballs look awesome.
- Joker’s gun and dance look awesome!!!
- Jax has his GOTCHA and it looks AWESOME!
- Jax has a ground head punch before that which looks interesting

Overall, there are a lot more good things then bad.

Awesome video.

WAIT.

At 2:57 -- am I imagining things or does Superman actually use a proper wake-up on Baraka here? It looks like either a wake-up low, or a really late parry of some kind.

Either that, or that's just a regular move which has absolutely NO startup whatsoever and will be completely abusable. Or possibly you can use regular moves as custom wake-ups by way of the start up being drastically reduced/being given invincible frames?

...I don't know... Looked interesting anyway... Anyone else see that?

Those were sweet.

The adjustments to the breaker system may remove any chances of there being infinites. Since it uses meter now and you build meter taking hits you should be able to escape pretty much anything in theory at least.

I think I saw something With Raiden at 3:55 as well.

It looks a lot better than their last few games.

The combo system reminds me of MK4.

Which is good in my opinion

No argument here, MK4 had my favorite combo system so far.

hey guy's what's going on? watching things neat

There are pop-up moves that were just introduced in MKA, Superman is a foward kick. Interesting.

I'm not happy that Kitana got some previously used moves from other characters; however, you do know she is fictional right? "Kitana stole them" ... I highly doubt she had a plot to jump out of the PC, over throw the MK team, and take moves for herself. lol
