Mess.

O god

 

[Under_The_Mayo]

What's their record? Also important that they are doing the ps3-360 versions.

 

[Braindead]

More like MK9, less like IGAU, HVS pls.

 

[STRYKIE]

Meh, shouldn't be a big deal if HVS are porting it, it's just a 2.5D UE3 fighting game, should run just fine on my circa-2007 desktop.

 

[Slymind]

WIll remain cautious, will check for feedback before doing anything.

If they can match their work on MK9 I'll be very happy. I don't play online so it won't really affect me if they fuck that up.

 

[RiBBz22]

If it is like the MK9 port it was better than the console versions so I am not worried at all. Injustice had some bugs but it wasn't that bad and IMO still better than the console versions.

 

[Raider]

But will it basically be PS4/One port?

 

[TotteryManx]

There were bugs on the MK9 PC version that were eventually patched. If you have good hardware, I wouldn't be concerned.

 

[astronout]

that settles it. investing in a PS4.

I cannot decide between this kind of attitude or "panic! panic! abandon ship!".

Perhaps I'm being too sceptical for no reason...

 

[Immortal]

So i was right all along.

@BillStickers - now it's time for an apology. :>

 

[Mikemetroid]

Odd cause on the Steam store it says its developed by NRS while igau/mk9 definitely says developed by HVS

Not really, Steam data atm is only a placeholder (nothing new for Steam games posted months before release). It will be corrected when the time comes.

 

[dreemernj]

Who is lover of tacos? He works for NRS or something?

 

[Immortal]

Yes.

 

[dreemernj]

Yes.

Great! Finally some actual info.

 

[Braindead]

Great! Finally some actual info.

Finally some actual info, yes.
But I'm not sure about the "great" part! Lol

I really hope they don't fuck it up like they did with Injustice. Anyway, we can have some hope because the game will be new so they will take care of it and hopefully keep patching all their bugs if it has any. With Injustice they released it on PC a long time after consoles so it was like they didn't really care about it.

I definitely would have preferred the game be made by NRS, and I now kind of assume it'll be limited to 360/PS3 assets. I hope I'm wrong. But it's how I've now set my expectations.

At least it should run on fairly low specs if its going to be based on the 360/ps3 version.

Yeah that is a good point, since they are releasing at the same time, issues across the platforms should be patched right around the same time keeping pretty much everything more in sync. Whereas before you had a port of a game that had been patched several times, and it is probably likely that some patches were received to implement during the porting process itself.

 

[Sutter Pain]

Not the most amazing news but I guess not so bad. High Voltage has done 2 PC games with NRS already and have experience good or bad. To my knowledge I don't know if NRS has done a PC game in a while especially a new big one like MKX. I am sure HV is taking it seriously as it is a big release for them and they know FGC and MK have Rabid vocal fans.

My biggest concern is post release and teamwork with NRS on patching\hotfix etc and its timely manner relative to the console versions.

 

[Rice]

They did the MK9 and Injustice ports so i guess it makes sense to let them make the MKX ports.
I get it on PS4 but im really interested how the last gen versions look like and if the graphic downgrade will be as big as i expect.

There is no way, that it gonna be base on previous gen assets. This is even hardly up for debate. It willbe at the level of PS4/X1 or even better (Higher AA options etc...). They would get rekt if PC version was the same as previous gen and that's a bad business for WB also. So in that matter i'm not worried.
