Do you want interactables in MKX?

[EndofGameBoss]

It's a very straight forward question. Do you want interactables in MKX? If so, why? If not, why?

Personally, I do not want interactables or melee weapons in the series. I feel like MK4 made a turn for the worst and I thought they would have abandoned that ship. Call me plain, but I like my fighting games to be meat and potatoes. I also feel like that should be a mechanic featured in the Injustice series to have another mechanic to separate itself from other fighting games.

If they're in there's nothing you can do about it.

I like the interactables. Love the callback to mk4.

If they're in there then whatever. I'm just looking for the opinion of the people on the matter, not the developers. /opinion

After trying to market that as Injustice's thing? God, no.

Wasn't there a "great divide" with the release of MK4? I always felt like it separated the community.

Like Injustice? Hell no bro

 

[chrisisnice]

A good fighting game should not have to rely on gimmicks so hopefully not.

Whatever if it does though

People just dont like change and woukd rather cling to nostalgia. Cant wait to see whats up at E3. I think interactables will turn out fine.

interactables aren't a gimmick, they are an added feature that can spice up the matchups and add more variables and setups.

So long as they aren't on the same level of injustice they could be a very interesting mechanic which incorporates more strategy, if executed properly.

I sincerely hope there isn't a block button. I remember the transition from MK2 to MK3 was significantly different at the time because of the run button. NRS has established a healthy fan base with MK9. I really hope they don't abandon that crowd by adding a bunch of gimmicky effects. There is already people speculating the return of the run button :/

I for one hope you are correct, sir. They need the perfect mix of the new and old so they don't abandon their new fan base I believe. Keeping my fingers crossed.

run buttom lol that is impossible, deja vu, remember the mortal kombat 9 cgi trailer, and every1 was talking about run buttom remember that? about shao kahn and raiden match

Fucking. Nay.

I call them gimmicks because I simply don't like it lol. Call me old, but I prefer fighting games to be your character versus another character with nothing else weighing in. Learning matchups and pure footsies between two players is the best. I'm not a fan of lingering by a interactable or having to run full screen because it causes ridiculous damage.

 

[PND OmegaK]

I dont want them, but if they're in then I'm cool with it.

 

[Eric The Scruffy]

I think there's room for interactibles in the game....but definitely not how they're implemented in Injustice (though I like them in injustice most of the time). In the trailer we just saw it looked like interactibles might take the form of weapons on the battlefield that can be picked up and used for a certain amount of time (maybe as a damage boost?) and some larger ones that could function as combo extenders.

I think that could work for MK.

 

[xxE.Txx]

Eh wouldn't mind them having another go at weapon pick-ups.

 

[SZSR]

I thought that was an Injustice exclusive thing? I wouldn't mind the weapon pickups like in the 3D MKs though.

 

[KingOko]

I wouldnt want to see interactables at all in the next mk game. What I want to see tho would be the stage transitions. Those are hype. Like bring back mk3 uppercut transitions. Shit would be tight!!

 

[-Deadman-]

Have all the interactions and nuances you want, just make them blockable

 

[Konqrr]

No no no no no no .... I said no right? Yeah, no.
