There's some interesting tidbits of info in the Playstation upload of the trailer:

"Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style. And with a new fully-connected gameplay experience, players are launched into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy."

Playstation just uploaded the trailer with this description.

Multiple variations? So like USF4?

My guess is that background bounces might be in the game somehow, but no throwable interactables.
 
Its kind of odd that its coming out for last gen consoles.
Not especially. Think how long the Playstation 2 lasted - games were still being released for that console less than two years ago.

From a profit maximisation point of view, releasing it to all four consoles makes perfect sense.

He's not even being a smartass. Tbh I'm a little annoyed at the fact people are already speculating. I won't speculate until the actually gameplay leaks.
Eh so we are supposed to see the trailer watch it get hype that the game is going to be released but not talk about what's going on in it? Come on.
Anyway I think we'll see much more at E3 next week.
