People still buy PC games?

The fuck?

Hmm... I really don't know what to say about this. I want to believe its a true game, though on the other side I don't want to. And that side is really winning over this tug of war.

The two fatalities that we've seen are not even that great. Neither of it shows originality since Sheeva has done the skin rip in both of the MK games she's been in, that's not originality. Its just an idea that's made to look "better" than MK's skin rip and a close up to the corpse.

The other fatality this Hulk guy has is a laughing joke and clearly does not make sense whatsoever. "I'm going to slam you against the wall while tearing off your entire skin as you stick there to the wall." Yeah, no, that's a joke. It's more of a joke than Sonya's splitting splits fatality and there is absolutely no logic behind that whatsoever.

Granted that there's videos showing game play as well as this game having its own site, the story is not even remotely good.

So, whoever that Johanna woman is, sorry, this game isn't strikingly interesting and no defensive letter is going to win me over unless I see something that I have not already seen in a game that features fatalities or something that clearly shows this game is actually a game not a huge joke.

I at least appreciate the effort that's gone into this.....shall we say 'project'? But the videos just make me laugh, they remind me so much of old stuydent horror films I made in my teens, mixed with a spot of low budget Troma for good measure. It could look good if the makeup on the green guy wasn't so utterly pathetic. The Hulk wearing Daisy Dukes? Come on.

New fatality

So... Plasma can deform organ and molecular structure because it can do that? Even with the explanation, it still looks completely horrible.

The fatalities they made for fan-made MK fatalities for this game are way better than the ones I've seen for this game. Though its still not that great.

Plasma's 2nd Deathrip(A Breath of Fresh Plasma)

Leech's 1st Deathrip Final Version(Smashed Like a Fly)

Leech's 2nd Deathrip(Leather Face)

The side of me that believes this is real:

They're only going for the visuals, trying to imitate 3rd Strike's gameplay is propably going to fuck it up amazingly.

The side of me that believes this is fake:

The whole "Demo"-thing is going to be a huge virus that thousands of idiots are going to download. It's going to be in the news, it's going to be something they call a "meme", and "Necrostorm" disappears in thin air.

..or not. We'll find out tomorrow. :P

I really don't understand how these deathrips are supposed to work in-game since they're obviously digitally enhanced live-action scenes.

Pfft, that Plasma guy looks like a doofus. And his "deathrip" is goofy.

I can't understand how they could do a scene with every character being killed by every "Deathrip"...

I really can't see this game being anything good.

Not to mention a scene with every character in every playable level. Unless they do something akin to Eternal Champions 2 "Cinekills".




Right? I'm reserving judgment though until the public gets its hands on this promised August 4th demo to see some gameplay. I hope Necrostorm realizes that fatalities and deathrips AREN'T what define the success of MK9.

Well, it did at first, but this isn't the early 90s anymore.

They confirmed that some kind of a white wall rolls out behind them when the input is correct, or something... So they wouldn't need to change backgrounds and crap... Really stupid, I'd say.

Non descript white wall... of DOOM!

But yeah, that sounds kinda dumb.

The game's going to fail

Maybe I'm ridiculously easy to impress with regards to video games (keep in mind I own nothing more advanced than a GC), but I think the game looks really good for what it is; an homage to the ridiculous fighting games that came out from the 90s and beyond, like MK.
I've only seen a couple of the game's actions taking place, and only one Deathtrip so far, but if I could play it, I'd give it a shot. Who knows? This company can surprise us all and give us a new fighting game to look forward to every couple of years. Lord knows that something has to replace Primal Rage and Killer Instinct... I miss those games.

August 4th is when the demo comes out. Now everyone will get some real gameplay of this game and we can put an end to calling it a *fake*...

This game looks pretty, but also incredibly boring. Violence is rather boring in itself, and crushing a man's head with a foot is not enough to impress me. If this is all the game is about, I'm not going to deem it worthy of my money.

I guess people are losing sight that this is a fighting game, and not a fatality cinema. If anything, I really want to download that tune they've made.

Website updated saying the demo will be available at 10 PM Italian local time tonight. That's 5 PM EST.

any second now...

"We are sorry for this delay, but we are still fixing some demo bugs. We guarantee that your patience will be rewarded. Only other few days."

Are you fucking kidding me.

They're indie devs, give 'em a break.
