Does this mean Mortal Kombat X will trample Mortal Kombat (2011), NetherRealm Studios' current most successful game? All signs so far point to "Yes". NetherRealm Studios, who are based out of Chicago, Illinois are set to release Mortal Kombat X in 2015. The game will run on a heavily-modified version of Unreal Engine 3 and will have the unique feature of three playable variations to each character.

Below is a summary of just how crazy things are becoming...

If a huge number of people enter the FGC because of MkX we might be looking at the same player-boom in fighting gamers that SF4's release had in 2009.

09'ers aren't noobs anymore, make room for the 15'ers.

Which means the noobies will be plenty and ripe for poaching!

Yea, Mk9 was so big that it created its own scene on its release, the "NRS scene". This scene seriously started from practically nothing.

Now that there is already a scene though, MkX is looking even more popular than Mk9 was this could be a gigantic boom for the NRS scene and FGC in general.

Imagine if there was some daily news in MKX's online mode that advertised some major tournaments in the USA. Just imagine how many people will see it if a million people buy the game.

Sounds too delicious. Its all in NRS's hands at this point. Lets hope the game is good, the online is crisp, and the hype for the game runs on until release.

What is going on guys, Ya Boi Zyphox here.
Honestly if NRS plays this right it could impact the entire FGC. if we have the numbers the shift in hate for NRS scene will be too real. imagine a world where MKX has 10 times more entrants that USFIV next year at these majors. guys like PIG, sonic, CDjr, 16 bit are now just as popular, if not more than Jwong or diago. MLG picks up MKX and treats us like royalty, WB back pot bonuses in the 5-6 digits. Real sponsors for players and even weeklies are like mini regionals every week. every content creator has a huge following now. guys like sajam, mayo, myself, etc have followings the size of max's youtube or near it. streamers have thousands of followers and subs. MAX CPM more than Arturo with guys like brady and pig streaming etc. if only, it would make me so hap..........

Remember that Marvel vs Capcom 3 is primarily an American game, but because of the insanely huge scene in the USA it has spread large popularity to other countries.


And lets face it, UMvC3 gas 0 support anywhere in the world.

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
I just look at it this way, it just goes to show that MK overall in general is more interesting to people than SF, MVC etc because of the badass characters, storyline, realism of it etc and the general outside media with MKL, the movies etc.

Other fighting games don't have that, or if they do it's often shitty(I mean SF, Tekken movies anyone? nuff said lol)

I think MK X will be bigger than MK 9 which was big in it's own right and put MK back on the map. So excited.

As soon as it broke 5 million in under a week I said this has to be a record of some kind for an MK trailer let alone video game trailer. The fact that it's second to COD which pumps out games every year for every console, has way more people playing it then any fighting game tells you how big MK is if it's second in the video game trailer world...

MK players were here for a long time before we MK9ers joined the scene.

And we were not the "NRS scene", we were the MK scene until Injustice came. Calling ourselves NRS before Injustice doesn't even make sense because NRS only made MK9. Past MKs, though still lead by Ed Boon, were products of Midway.

I meant the FGC NRS scene dude.. The competitive side of MK games. Of course people were just overall fans of MK before Mk9, that goes without saying.

Before Mk9 the "competitive scene" was like 20 serious people nation wide in the US. Not even enough to warrant a tournament for MK games.
