There was a post in community hub for MKX on Steam by WB Mike, the one giving official announcements about the beta. He said that the MKXL beta will be up for 4 days ONLY. Then they said that it will be extended 2 more days til Sep. 1st. So I'm assuming the beta will end then. As for when the actual full release will drop I have no idea.
Competitive wise, definitely not worth your time. But to finally get to see what we've all been missing for the fun of it, I think it's worth it. At least for me.
All you people, bashing on that amazing Mortal Kombat II tech...
Interesting. For me, I don't take my time at the character select screen, but I _do_ wait to see if they'll go and pick a character first so I know the kind of match up I'm in for. This will then dictate which of my two characters and what variation I choose.
Just to be clear, I'm not talking about having a character select standoff. I always pick who I want and have zero interest in caring about counter picking. I let the other guy worry about all that stuff.
Ah, fair enough.
I'm hoping they announce details for it and an apology Jade/Noob pack for PAX.
Bro... keep dreaming (about Jade).
From what i've seen on Boon Twitter he consider PC version "done".
days away? i dont think so. the beta itself is already extended to thursday. and they still have to take the feedback and use it to make it better. MKXL on pc will get more than a quiet rebirth. There will be an official announcement regarding its re release. This was one of WBs biggest blunders last year and left a pretty bad taste in pc players mouths, they will make sure they announce this loud and clear that they fixed it so people are well aware that they did 'right' by them.
If you think that they actually take any feedback from the community then you clearly didn't pay attention.
Nobody from QLOC (company that handles PC port) even bother to write anything on Steam. You get only WB guys who use 2 pre-written replies as copy / paste to anything people write there. They wanted people to get hyped about the game AND "new" (KP2) characters. So when the update / XL is out on PC people would buy XL / KP2 pack (if you already have MK X).
Welcome to our world, at last. ^_^Thanks to the new netcode, i'm finally landing my ANTI-AIRS
Jump breh
The same happened with me, too.
Nailed it! I've been thinking the same tbh.If you think that they actually take any feedback from the community then you clearly didn't pay attention.
And this Beta serves only one purpose - to get PC player hype about the game again. It has no other point. GGPO in it was tested on consoles ages ago and its solid for quite some time, there is no technical reason to test it again on PC.
Also do you think they would gave us whole roster instead of like 4 characters (console beta started with 4) if all they wanted to do is test online?
And why soon? Coz when the beta will end, people obviously will stop playing it - if they take too long with the release many people will just forget about it (casuals) or get annoyed and that's not good for the business. And imo the game (XL on PC) is ready for quite some time now, they're waiting only for the release of final patch so it will be the same on all platforms.
Also so its absolutely clear they're doing MK XL on PC mostly coz they want to sell IGAU 2 port on PC at some point after console release next year (probably close to it end, just like they did with IGAU).
It's business, not rocket science.
thanks mate!
He is neither in charge or even remotely responsible for it. The last time he said anything it turned out to be wrong and he's still being crucified for it. I doubt he will ever speak on a pc port again.
Paulo happened... And people got better. xD SonicFox has a mean Shotgun Jacqui, he demolished Trepound at EVO with it.
It's awesome isn't it. One day NRS will have a real strong PC base. If any fighting game studio can do it it's NRS.
Only if they don't get associated with those publishers (Sony, Microsoft, WB, etc). When they get involved, you see the results (Sony and Microsoft).
It'It's only because of WB that you have a pc port at all. The same hand that giveth also taketh away.
