Mortal Kombat 1 PC System Requirements

[Arqwart]

Wasn't a different studio the one who ported MKX? The release was a disaster lmao unforgettable. Menu simulator!

QLOC has done all their PC ports since MKX. They borked MKX like mad prior to MKXL after which it was fine, IJ2 was ok, and MK11 was just fine. High Voltage were the ones responsible for the abysmal ports of MK9 and IJGAU.

EDIT: Immortal is correct. High Voltage was also responsible for original MKX release (which tracks lol).

MKX was ported by a different studio, the same which ported MK9/IGAU - HV. It was bad. QLOC took it from MKXL onward and it was fine. No reason to think MK 1 will be ported badly.

MK1 is running on NRS's proprietary version of Unreal 3, just like MK11...it should be fine.. the question is, will QLOC port it correctly.

Where was it confirmed it's still ue3?

 

[Immortal]

It was confirmed when they did MK11. Nothing really new. It's the same engine still and that's fine. Since it doesn't really matter. Like i said they already wrote and rewriten so much of it that it hardly has much to do with the original UE.

Well, camera hooks, unreal tools, etc still work on the games. at its core, its still Unreal... just not gonna exactly reverse engineer that frame data anytime soon lol. Thats why I dont think the requirements and the fact the game is gonna be on Switch, is an issue. Cutscenes are always gonna look fiyahh

Obviously it's still Unreal, it basic tools and functions of the editor etc... but you know what i meant - in broader view.

That's interesting considering they're hiring for positions with ue4 experience.

And what's so interesting about it? They're probably in pre-production phase of their next game, whatever that might be.

Also going for UE 4 would make little sense now, you would obviously go for 5.X. So if they migrated to UE 4 it means it was in the works for months/years and maybe it's now production ready for their next game. They're obviously not hiring for MK1 development.

Also Niagara system is pretty cool in UE. Allows you to do amazing things with environment effects and i can see a lot of options for them in it(smoke, water/blood, sparks, beams/lightning etc...).

Because if they're on 4 now they could hypothetically migrate to ue5 mid cycle for this game just as they rebuilt the netcode in mkx mid cycle. I'm not saying it'll happen but if they finally get off of ue3 their possibilities increase exponentially.

 

[Immortal]

That would be a first and lets just say it's highly unlikely.

While integrating GGPO code into UE is a big task(i should know, we already did it for our side project) it's nowhere near as big as redoing so many things for a newer version of UE post game release. I don't think corporation like ATT would waste A LOT of time and money on something like that.

 

[BecomingDeath13]

Probably not but we gotta pass the time waiting on this gameplay somehow lol

Keep in mind they're using Unreal Engine 4 for mobile games; they migrated Mortal Kombat Mobile to UE4 years ago. The posting could be for a mobile game, perhaps.
