I really dont want to read 15 pages. Has anyone addressed this yet? What are the creepy floating pyramid things? They look pretty badass.

I like how you start in Hell and then go all the way up towards the Heavens.

I love how it appears that every stage will in fact have a night and day stage. The sunrise / sunset (evening) Pit 2 stage looks beautiful

EDIT: Nevermind. That's a bit too off-topic.

Awsome video.. only complaint.... is that Shao Kahn has the lame version as his main costume... i wanted the intro movie costume to be his defaut.

Love the gameplay of Shao Kahn, Goro and Stryker... Epic

I hope they speak more on the day/night feature.

They have gotten so much of this game so close to the old games that I can feel what you're saying here too. hm...

While watching and pausing this video at different spots, but particularly at the retro part with Sub-Zero and Scorpion, all I could do is shake my head. What I was doing is toggling the tabs on my browser between the youtube video and mortalkombatwarehouse.com, looking at the old sprites vs the new 3D models. It's freaky in a way... uncanny is probably the best word to describe it... causing what I recollect is a sense of surrealism as a result I think.

Some of our younger forum siblings may or may not understand (no offense is meant by that really) just how unfathomable it was to see such a game as MK1 back then. Back in those dark halls of the arcade, where everything else looked like a cartoon, and where every other fighting game didn't really take you beyond punches and kicks. The game didn't just capture you visually, it stunned you artistically, and then gripped you emotionally with the story element, music, and other attributes of the game like realistic looking humans. Who, from what I remember, really seemed to be in trouble during a fight.

You anxiously awaited your chance to control the joystick, and when you finally got it, you frantically fought for your character to survive the match, not just "win". This affect wasn't something that existed in most other games and I think, it was unheard of in a fighting game. So, to see this game exemplify alot of those same qualities really does take you back...

I've been waiting for this game for a very long time too. While I seem to have been a bit younger than cpleck when I first saw and played MK1 (I think I was in jr high, and not high school like him), I remember the experience quite vividly as well.

Sorry about the euphoria speech (lol) but... this game is turning out to be insanely familiar, amazingly new, refreshing, and wildly appreciated all at the same time. Great time (again) to be an MK fan...

Highest kudos to WB and NRS, btw.

Note at the top of the tower. There's a skull with Kahn's helmet garb attached to it, then two clearly non-human skulls that are clearly of the same race

End-Game has 3 opponents from what the screen suggested, Goro and two more. If you make a connection between the two things, it suggests that you fight Kahn, Goro, and another Shokan

So...I'm calling it right now. Kintaro's in, it could be Sheeva but that seems a little anti-climactic.

I haven't been sweating Kintaro's inclusion, but I'm certain he's in now.

From Boon's twitter...

Noobde- @paynetrain88 Challenge Tower is a single player experience only.

Shoot's down multiplayer. Does not effect my happiness.

I really thought Kintaro would not be included in this game or Motaro for that matter purely because I like the simplicity of one sub-boss. I also don't want Kintaro to be a playable character or any of the other sub bosses like Goro. There should be an increased difficulty when combating a boss or sub-boss. Having more than one male shokan in this game is overkill I believe. Sheeva's cool with me as a playable character but she shouldn't be at the top of the 300 tower with Goro and whoever else he's accompanied by (Kahn most likely). While I think it'd be cool to face Kintaro, Goro and Kahn....I still don't want multiple sub-bosses or either Goro or Kintaro to be playable. I haven't been keeping up with those rumors as much as others here so maybe that's been discussed already. Plus I just don't want a guy like Kintaro taking the spot of a character on the roster who has a stronger story. I guess all this stuff can be remidied by DLC which NRS seems really committed to utilizing this time around.

That looks pretty cool, but I can't help but feel like the top of that tower is missing something significant.



BAM! An extra spice of nostalgia goes a long way. Make it happen NRS!

I LOVE how the Tormentor is attcking and being attacked by those humans. That's BADASS. Kornrow Kahn = BADASS.

He's saying the Challenge Tower is single player, that doesn't mean Test Your Luck and the other mini-games such as TYM, TYSi, and TYSt won't be available in versus. He's just saying the 300 missions themselves are single player only.

wow i love the 300 mision mode and those klassic outfits are awsome...

i cant wait to pop this on my system! looks gory as hell i love it =)

I hate it. All of it. How can they release something like this knowing that after we will see it we will have to wait another 1.5 months till release? How am I supposed now to survive the wait? That was one brilliant video. CANT FUCKIN WAIT!

Not only that, but if one challenge is too hard, you can buy it with koins.

So much greatness, too much to comment on. This game is going to be incredible.

That is so mean. But I like it.

Freaking amazing video. Game looks awesome.

Can anyone tell the difference between test your might and test your strength?

to the person that mentioned the pit bottom...Pit 2 and Pit bottom are NOT the same bottoms! Pit 2 has very close together spikes and a clean bottom...also the Pit 2 bottom is purple/indigo in color..Pit bottom is the bottom of Pit 1 that u see in MK1 a.k.a the pit in the background of the NEW warrior Shrine...an plus the kolor of this stage is grey/white with the spikes much farther apart an bodies n beasts everywhere....just thought i clear that up...just look at the vids of the 2 pit bottoms. clearly differant :) lol srry i was really bored n thought i clear this up. besides that, FUCKIN EPIC! cant wait!!!

oh and i thought it was funny when liu kang and kung lao started screamin when the fire came up outta the ground be4 they started fightin like it scared them hahaha :D

I said the same thing in the first thread. I wonder if that's where the idea came from.

that video leaves me feeling overwhelmed in an extremely good way.

Looks like my paid sick and vacation hours from work won't be rolling over into next year as I had planned.

They won't seem me until July, or August with the way this game is looking.

I don't have the words to express how happy I am about all this, but damn! I am one happy motherf..
