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

Ask me about my Mileena agenda.
I wonder how effective Kameos will be in neutral or set-ups on knockdown since it seems your character stands in place for most of the time they're out. I can only imagine the batshit tech if they're more flexible.

Lol you can’t say havik just because it says chaos. That’s like a hint if anything, not a confirm.

i dont want to be disappointed again, nooooo :( i expected it to look much more realistic instead of cartoonish
Same here.

And what's with these explosions at the end of "fatal blows"?

That doesn't look serious, really.

Graphics is "kinda" better after the Kitana vs Mileena part but still seems like they are giving up on "serious" stuff and going more into the comic/plastic theme.

I noticed that as well. Looks like they are going for an adult Pixar film or something.

Ok I'll try to be positive, I AM excited about the game, the stages look great, and combos seemed long which I like. There was just more negatives for me. I cannot get over the graphics, the format of the trailer was so clunky and awkward in itself, I feel like we didn't get a proper view of anything. I was just expecting to be blown away but so much seems off. I never liked the idea of kameos and I still don't. It makes everyhting convoluted and weird.

Good. MK sucks ass when it takes itself too seriously. Bring back the fun goofy shit, that is Prime Mortal Kombat.

Just making sure I heard correctly... Did Geoff say we'd get more gameplay this weekend? Or am I going insane?
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.
Also not that it needs to be explicitly said as I think it was pretty obvious, but variations are entirely gone. The characters being selected during Boon's showcase piece had no additional options after. Just went straight to kameos.

It’s interesting that the biggest complaint from MK11 was lack of combos and combo expression. And in this short gameplay trailer, we see a TON of cool new ways to extend combos and a variety of combo expression, and people find new things to complain about, lol. I know you’ll never be able to please everyone, but it’s just a bit funny to me.

Anyway, hopefully we will get in depth breakdowns of the gameplay sooner rather than later, can’t wait! And still hoping to see Human Smoke as a playable base character!
