Well they actually did get better lol
Anything less than gameplay reveal will be too small for the PlayStation Showcase. They can reveal a CGI trailer for PlayStation exclusive character but that's less probable.
It's a really weird situation all around. We're barely into the work week following the initial reveal and people are already frothing at the mouth for more. It's also the usual NRS weirdness of game reveals being so ridiculously close to release. Four months is bonkers to me, but they seem to manage it well.
That quote is the exact reason why they do it, because some people have zero self control about throwing money at them despite no information.
People don't like trains around here... too slow. It needs to be a cataclysmic event with anything and everything thrown at us all at once... so then 5mins after that they can complain that there's a lack of info about the game and bad communication from NRS.
That's still 2 freaking months that someone can sit on their wallet waiting for info before they need to pre-order to get any bonuses.
Nah, NRS will still find a way to go 8 weeks radio silent in there somewhere.
I'll play devil's advocate here and say I still think WB is being scummy because they're offering limited edition bundles before telling us what is even in the game. I really want the Liu Kang statue as well as the big case and cards, but at the same time, I don't know what's in the kombat pack, what the gameplay is like, or even who is in the game. My choices are: take a gamble and preorder now for at a huge pricetag, or just miss out on the whole thing since it will be sold out within the hour.
Wouldn’t mind some blurry screenshot of the roster myself.
Big reason for me pre-ordering right away was the price. I am from a third world country, prices fluctuate. If i preorder it at say 4500/- bucks and the price increases later, I won't have to pay more but if price decreases then i get the difference amount back to me. Also the beta in August.
Injustice, MKX and Injustice 2 all had the CGI reveal followed about a week later by gameplay and guess what, none of them started preorders without showing gameplay. So there's no need to say that fans are being unreasonable here. Game is launching in 4months, they can drop modes and character trailers every other week all the way upto launch.
SF6 dropped a teaser in February of 2022, and then the official game trailer (with about 10 seconds of gameplay) came in June.. People are really exaggerating here.
Injustice, MKX and Inj2 also all had marketing campaigns that lasted a year. MK1 is going to use 1/3 of that time. I don't see the issue with them dropping a pre-orders early. Someone people are going to buy the game regardless, the biggest edition, marketing be damned. Nothing at all forced you to pre-order the game before you see gameplay. The standard, the premium edition, they'll still be there.
Relax dude, you don't have to get so defensive about WB
