Mortal Kombat X - Angry Interview E3 2014 Confirms Multiple X-Rays per Character

[Dark_Ky]

As the interviews keep popping up on YouTube, this one with NetherRealm Studios' Steve Beran is a great one. Angry Joe of the "Angry Joe Show" asks if we'll be seeing more x-rays for characters in Mortal Kombat X and sure enough, Steve says yes.

As the X-Ray moves were introduced in Mortal Kombat (2011) and were a huge hit, it's awesome that they are bringing them back, plus adding to them. Perhaps we'll see up to three per character considering the three character variations? Time will tell!

Angry Joeeee! !!! Dude is seriously a bad ass.

 

[Mechacide]

Posted this three times now, but at around 5:40 he states that every character will have more than one XR : D

 

[dotunderscore]

Boon said at E3 (paraphrasing) "we wanted the X Rays to be available to all the variations". So I guess multiple XRays could still be possible. I wonder what the input would be?

Another nugget at the end is that the roster size is confirmed "About the same size as MK9" so that means 27-28 but i say 30 + dlc

 

[RelentlessOhio]

NRS, always cryptic about everything. Can't wait to see what's teased next.

 

[Johnny2d]

I didn't get the sense that he meant each character would have more than one. If you take his literal words then yeah, but in context they were joking about LilJon, talking about variety in general. Don't mean to poop on the parade but I actually thought he meant there will be more than 1 in the game, just casually saying everyone won't have the same one, I know that sounds redic, but they are doing so many interviews, covering only very specific things, but trying to be casual and hold a conversation too. Sounds dumb, but I just felt like he was speaking casually, not really thinking we are hanging on every word he says, and it just kind of came out of his mouth that way. Idk, it would be cool to have different ones, but I don't know if this really works as evidence for it being in the game given the casual conversation context.

DLC... Nooooooo! History is bound to repeat itself.

 

[VenomX-90]

Well if the Interviewer is Angry about the game, then dont play the goddamn game. smh

 

[MEN_TATALOR]

No pc? wtf

I know I don't post too much, but I read a lot of what you guys are posting, and whenever I see one of your posts, there's like 80% chance that I will end up thinking "What the hell is this guy even trying to say??" immediately after reading it. It's obvious that you didn't even start the video, so that makes your reply look really, really unnecessary. I recommend you thinking twice before posting, man. Just some friendly advice.


On topic:
Holy crap, finally an interview with someone else from the team besides Ed! And it's Steve freakin' Beran! I wonder when we'll be seeing Vogel this time, that guy is just awesome.
And that thing about "multiple x-rays" he definitely didn't mean "more than one for each character. He definitely meant that there will be lots of x-rays since there will be lots of characters.
And LOL @ him forgetting about the PC release. The so called "master race" really doesn't get any love from NRS.

I'm starting to get worried that NRS won't be developing the PC port of MKX in-house. It's obviously not a priority since Beran didn't even mention it being on PC.

NRS is only doing the Xbone/PS4 - Boon said it in another E3 interview

[Ray'sGoodLiquor]

Welp, there went my happiness. He didn't say PC. I'm guessing that means another delayed release. What chance do I have to compete being 3 months behind when I get the game?

 

[G4S Killin Natzees]

In no way did I hear him confirm characters had multiple xray's in that video

 

[Rampage254]

In no way did I hear him confirm characters had multiple xray's in that video

5:45, listen and he says "Everyone is gonna have more than one for sure"

 

[Saint Op Omen]

Love Joe and how he does these interviews ...he is always so excited and it ends up being different then all the others ....but that sometimes lead to things like this ...misunderstanding that he already knows all the standard PR stuff and answers and trys to get more by wording things different or including the standard answer and trying to expand on it...
I think what happened here is Joe knew what he was asking but Steve didnt...so I wouldnt take it as a fact...
Love how his stuff is always so casual though...his Bro Force interview was funny...just him gushing about how he loves the game

 

[Gideon_Grey]

In no way did I hear him confirm characters had multiple xray's in that video

Yeah, that was kind of a jumbled response. I don't think he actually understood that Joe meant "multiple per-character", and was just responding like "yeah we have a whole bunch of these in the game, all new" kind of thing. IDK

 

[Gideon_Grey]

Beran is a cool chap, but not as comfortable and natural in interviews as some of the rest of the team. I think that affects situations like this.

 

[G4S Killin Natzees]

5:45, listen and he says "Everyone is gonna have more than one for sure"

They were talking about variations of xrays though. And he really just confirmed there's more than one type and everyone's going to have one is all I got from it.

We already saw in the game-play videos that Scorpion's X-ray start-up changes, here:

Hellfire Scorpion's X-Ray starts with him teleporting and hitting you from the back, like MK9. But Inferno Scorpion's X-Ray starts with him doing a forward Superman punch-like attack.

Check it out; Hellfire Scorpion's X-Ray at 10:23 here

Inferno X-Ray at 1:37 here

He does literally the same thing lol. When he was closer he teleported is the only difference. Same startup animation, same execution. Same corkscrew. Different sides of the screen

 

[Shadow316]

Well this turned out to be anti-climactic...

 

[Braindead]

Well that's what I said; they START differently.
I don't know if it's only because of the distance from the opponent or because of the variations, though.

EDIT: Alright I understood what you meant; after the teleport he does the same superman punch.
But still, do you think it's because of the distance or the variation?
