What's new

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

I would like we get in gameplay revival some kind of unexpected roster character so we ask themselves who is in roster.
Maybe some kind on stage representation and not only gamplay video.
Hope we get some kind of countdown from social networks for last 3 days.

"You won't winter over?" Who the fuck wrote that?
Geoff Keighley confirmed in a twitch q&a about SummerGameFest that it is going to be a deep dive look at Mortal Kombat 1 with Mr. Ed Boon at the showcase not just a 60 second stage reel.
Really? Nice
You have a link to it?

Damn, really only 3 days left until the show. I am excited. Can't wait for the new wave of complaints about Kameo characters ruining MK :coffee:
It reminds me of when MK11 was being previewed, and some guy on here made a thread complaining about how MK11 was only going to have 20% max damage combos, and that Krushing Blows were going to ruin the game.

You need to show and tell a lot of information after such words

Also, I think this reply is confirmation of the reveal of another character at the event. It makes no sense to make hints with already announced characters. Reptile?

People really expecting a full conquest mode on top of cinematic story as well as a 10/10 fighting game?

SF6 didn't even have a proper story mode and their world tour mode is really not as good as made out, they don't even have full voice acting, I'd rather NRS focused on making a great fighting game than adding a subpar side action/adventure game imo. They should give the MK license to the SIFU devs and let them make a MK action game on it's own.

And sf6 probably had longer development than mk1, it's just NRS is no longer crunching their employees.

I was skeptical at first but now I kinda dig the whole assist thing

Definitely sounds like we might see another character reveal. Maybe it just ends being Johnny Cage, but whatever. I could honestly see any of the MK4 characters returning to the main roster, with the exception of Shinnok (had lots of screen time in MKX) and Jarek (because let's face it, he is just a watered down Kano clone).

They can completely redesign the character. NRS have shown through other characters that they are capable of this.
I sincerely hope that Boon didn't post a screenshot from MK4 because of characters like Jax or Sonya.

I'm sure they could do an awesome Jarek, I just hope we can see other characters reimagined first... and I have the impression Boon kinda equals him to Hsu Hao or something, but I might be just tripping lol

I think that's a whole lot of assumptions. Whether or not SF6 and MK1 had the same dev time, MK1 is going to have to blow our minds because SF6 is freaking amazing. And if it doesn't have a lot of content, people are going to be disappointed regardless. Just look at how much SFV got shit on at launch. NRS always has a lot of content for their games so I'm not stressed, but even if it's not fair, they still have to compete with one of the best FGs I've played in years.

And I think it's a good thing that other big fighting games are being released this year. NRS has shown us that they absolutely can release a game with lots of content at launch. We should expect this game to have at least as much content as MK11 did. I personally think it'll probably have even more, but I don't want to get my expectations too high.

Again sf6 didn’t have an actual story mode though, so why would you be expecting Nrs to do a full conquest mode on top of their story mode? It also only had 18 characters with one alt costume, mk1 could launch with the same amount of content as 11 and compete just fine

this game maybe have been developed longer than the others but it’s not that long in normal terms we were just used to getting games every two years

For me, I just hope the content is of high quality instead of just high quantity. Thinking back to MK11, it had:
Story Mode - which was as expected
Arcade - also as expected
Towers - pretty despised for being tedious, random, and imbalanced
Krypt - heavily criticized for being randomized

I think a lot of MK11's content was, at best, divisive. I hope they release their mobile game and keep the mobile garbage models relegated there, and focus on crafting some decent content in the main game that doesn't exist to to force you to log in every day or open up your wallet.

I think they had some right ideas. I love the krypt, and I really liked the exploring aspect, but being random is bad. Nothing they can't fix for this game.
Story mode could use some improvements too, but I think it's a staple at this point. I do agree that the towers need a lot of work if they're coming back.
I'm still hopeful for a konquest mode, but I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect it. At this point we should just get spinoffs made by other studios, like some other franchises do. I would love that.

Yeah towers were meh, now that I've experienced the Hub in SF6, I really wish NRS will do something similar but I know that's probably just wishful thinking. It's just so meta, to go to an arcade with your avatar, to play the game on arcade machines lmao.
