Guess they're bringing in the well-knowns like Blum and Hale.

Calling it now Johnny Cage to be voiced by Nolan North.

Oh yeah and Sutherland...voicing Raiden.

Fighting mechanics look SO awesome. Specific intos make me want to cry with joy.

God-Like Blue guy looks awesome! Can't wait to hear more about him.

Executioner with the midget I am not to fond of. Just doesn't feel right to me.

I too thought Vorpax when I saw the bug girl. But after the midget says "What lady bug do about it?" I swear that ladybug responds "It's Jomit!" But either way, I think she looks great.

Excited for more!

I think she says "Exterminate"

Just saw this on TYM.

Is this the character variation we heard about? i.e. Scorpion with glowing hands-> more fire attacks; Scorpion with a sword -> sword attacks; Scorpion with thingy on his belt -> better grabs/spear attacks ...?

ooooo I didn't even notice that, good observation from that user.

You know what? I think you're right.

I love Nolan, but Johnny's VA for MK9 was perfect.

Really cool, so it seems like the "different versions" could be like different gadgets that grant some specific abilities. Sounds great (though this kind of stuff is hard to balance and most times there will be THE item you always pick, hope I'm wrong).

I'm also glad this means the game isn't about different realities :D

Is that a Bi-Han in the background? Pause the video and look at the head in the background. Is that Bi-Han?

Oh god, I hope not. That's some Soul Calibur weapon-switching bullshit.

Looking at it, it seems like there are 3 versions of Sub-Zero: with 2 emblems (one of them glows more) can throw his Ice Clone, then there are 2 versions with just the left emblem, one seems to be the able to use the kori blades (has the 2 blades on his belt) and the white mask one seems to be able to parry atacks.

This game is sounding ridiculously deep. Potentially 3 substantially different movesets for each character. Over 600 separate fight intros. Holy shit.

That was my impression, too. MK has been taking some pretty hard swerves with respect to its mythos. Imagine that troll guy with the imp in MKII or MK3. It's completely incongruent. These new characters would be at home in Fable or a twisted fairy tale.

That being said, I'm not disliking what I'm seeing. I'm just not sure I like it for MK. Let's not forget that it started out based on kung fu movies. Boy, has this series wandered.



It's not an issue of change, it's one of appropriateness. Sure, if we're going to be super broad about it we could say that MK includes a lot of fantasy but this is a different brand of fantasy than what MK is founded on. It'd be like adding a leprechaun. Sure, it's still under the umbrella of "fantasy" but it'd be kind of strange, no?

Jeff Pilson was perfect. Rock star's voice for a movie star character.

Seriousy guys look pause the video at 25 seconds and look at the sword

It's impossible to tell WHO that is. It could easily just be some random dead warrior and shouldn't be instantly assumed as Bi-Han.

So who is the head and body in question? Hmm...

Fatalities look amazing and creative
Scorpion and Sub Zero having new moves
Boat Dock Stage
Frozen Forrest Doesn't seem MK to me
Bug Lady
Biggie Smalls How will Fatalities work on them?
Blue Aztec

2015 Release Date

Not sure if mentioned already but anyone notice what looks to be a run button added to the game?! Noticed it around the one minute mark of the new trailer.

I was just about say that's some SFXT foolishness.

BOON MUST BE AN ELDER GOD

BASK IN THE DIVINE RADIANCE OF HIS EYEBROWS

That was perfect. MK9 was a great nostalgia trip and absolutely my favorite Mortal Kombat, but its so nice to see new fighters added to the series. The KoF midget/giant combo dude looks fucking glorious. Looks like the run button is returning. I don't like the environmental effects, but everything else was pretty much flawless. Fuck, the stages man! God damn!

It definitely 100% is Blum. If you couldn't tell from the video then how the heck are you always reminded of him in other roles where he does the same voice he does as SZ?

Also: like 50% of MK2011's cast was instantly recognizable from other games and shows, so I wager maybe you don't stray far from MK? I mean like 5 of the cast members also were in Street Fighter IV.

Forgive me if someone else already said this, but does anyone think that ship in the background might be the Nethership?

I'm not seeing the dragon figurehead, but I guess it's possible.

Good call, I didn't think of that.
