MK1 Gameplay World Premier - June 8TH [Summer Game Fest]

[Mk9kevin]

I’m going to need a deep analysis of what I saw, but so far I’m kinda hyped!! Sub-Zero and Scorpion being brothers??

 

[Arqwart]

Sounds like we'll be getting more info during or after this weekend. All the players invited over to LA are at NRS playing a pre-release version.

 

[Ptehu]

Am I the only one a bit disappointed? Especially on the graphics part? Feels like downgrade in comparison to MK11

 

[Skybox]

Well, I don't know how they went backwards on animations after MK11 improved so much on INJ2, but... this just looked floaty and weird.

Might not be fully finished

Not gonna lie, the first few seconds of Lao throwing his hat at Sub had me like 'wtf?'

 

[Whippoorwill]

Apart from the fact that at least for now Sonya is a kameo, which means sadly I won't be getting the game, the animations looked janky...stiff even. I don't know, it didn't look great.

Do not rely on YT streams to judge graphical quality. YT compression on live streams is absolutely horrendous, particularly at 1080p.

Yeah…it didn’t blow me away either

 

[Temptress]

Did people actually listen to anything that was said? Sonya being a kameo doesn't exclude her from the base roster.

They confirmed that characters can be on both the main roster and kameo roster.

 

[NeonGroovyGator]

I got blue balled so hard, I thought we’d get a bit more content today

but I loved it, love Kenshi showing up again too

 

[Lord Snotty]

Kenshi looks like Lewis Tan in that trailer. The character models are slightly more cartoonish compared to MK11, but do we really want to see realistic faces being torn apart? Also, Kitana and Mileena's positions are being reversed, it seems.

Very hateful and venomous to treat the only woman in the original mk1 this way

 

[Mk9kevin]

This is so exciting!

She's base roster and rightly so.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Havik confirmed.

If you go to the Mortal Kombat official channel, and click on the gameplay video, the description says:

"Do not mistake serenity for weakness. Chaos will be snuffed out with unrelenting force."

 

[Rude]

I think World Tour is maximum ass. Running around with half of Chun Li's moveset, why am I grinding to unlock air lightning legs.

I think you might be missing the point of the game mode.

 

[FoughtDragon01]

Hard to tell. The gameplay so far appears to have them set to infinite meter. At the very least, I saw Kenshi's downward slash popping up with a golden flash on the ability which I assume is it being amplified.

Yeah, you're right on that, but it did also look like Scorpion doesn't need to spend meter on Spear for combos like in MK11. Same with Mileena's ball roll. I think we're definitely gonna have more meterless options this time around.

 

[Skybox]

Then again, the graphics may not be 100% done yet, also it seems Mileena has a desease or curse of some kind now?

 

[Whippoorwill]

I know it doesn't exclude her from the roster..just a sour way to be introduced to her in the new game.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

The game looks good.

 

[Marlow]

Quick takeaways:

1. Kameos are what we thought they were: Assists. Interesting that each Kameo seems to (if I'm understanding correctly) come with multiple assist move possibilities.

2. Meter system seems back to 3 basic bars

3. Breaker system. Seemed like the breaker was tied into the Kameo, but I couldn't tell if that was a specific Kameo move, and whether it cost bar or just cost Kameo meter. I'll need to re-watch.

4. Characters can be on both rosters, so being a Kameo doesn't exclude someone from being on the Main roster.

5. Graphics seemed a bit off to me, but I usually don't care about graphics in this early of a build, and eventually it'll be what it'll be. SFVI had the same thing for me, I'm still adjusting to how that game looks. Not good or bad, just an adjustment.

6. Pace of the game still feels similar to MK11. This could be a total nonsense sentence, and I don't even know if you can judge pace by this kind of trailer, but that's the first impression I get.

 

[Rodney Quillz]

Well it over my favourite got kameod

yet everyone said Sonya was surely making it smh

utterly disgusting to do Jax and Sonya like that

If you notice KL was also a cameo in his mk2 costume, I think there is still hope for Sonya,Jax and Kano.

 

[Eddy Wang]

The air kombat kombo system looked dope, it seems they really focused more on kombos this time around

Reminded me of Armaggedon air strings

7. Kameos take part in Fatal Blows
