Mortal Kombat X Coming to Mobile Devices (free-to-play)

[Pterodactyl]

Ugh,

Ermac's alt.

I think someone in NRS's design department has some kind of weird S&M strap fetish, this shit is getting ridiculous.

 

[NightTrauma]

While this is cool for people who are into these types of games, I really hope the unlocking of unique rewards for the console version works like the Injustice mobile game. That way those of us who don't care for this can just pass around some accounts and get the costumes/whatever.

 

[Awsumpossm]

Let's hope that there aren't unlockables tied to it like they did with the Injustice mobile game.

Sadly it looks it is the case from the press release.

The console and PC versions of Mortal Kombat X will be available worldwide on April 14, 2015. Once launched, players who own the forthcoming console or PC versions of the game will be able to unlock content in the mobile game and vice versa by signing up for a WB Play account and completing tasks and achievements within each version.

Yeah its a real cock punch that people who like these games get rewarded for playing them.

I didn't mind the mobile game for some fun, but the tedium of going through it for unlocks was really ridiculous. Honestly, stuff like this makes a "Komplete Edition" that much more worthwhile 6 months down the road.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Yeah that's definitely a takeda alt. Knew he'd have a sword variation. He looks cool as hell there too

I can't imagine he trades the whips for a sword. Usually the variations add hardware not swap it

It won't be a straight swap. You can see he still has kunai on his arm, so he will have some moves involving them, but I think he'll have access to a lot more "whip-like" moves in his variation without his sword.

 

[Name v.5.0]

Let's hope that there aren't unlockables tied to it like they did with the Injustice mobile game.

 

[Cossner]

Inb4 mobile version being bigger than the console version and randoms not knowing mkx is a console game.


"Fix the android version!"

"iPhone should be the tournament standard"

 

[John Grizzly]

Oh so they skipped MK4 - MKvDC in the trailer huh? Those didn't happen right?

To be fair, they skipped MK2, as well....which was an incredible game.

Also, if this is just the same style gameplay as Injustice, the Arkham mobile games and WWE Immortals, I'll pass. I still have flashbacks of the amount of time I had to put into fucking mobile Injustice to unlock all those costumes. Ugh. So tedious and not fun at all.

 

[Euphoric]

This is a cesspool for Filthy Casuals.

Hopefully that one guy who gave out the email for all unlocks finds some shit for MKX.

 

[Prinz]

They know...

 

[Marvelnerd]

Kenshi or Takeda? Scorpion has 2 swords not one!

Kinda think that's Scorpion's "Feudal Japan" costume from that costume pack rumor a few weeks ago.

 

[DirtyLary]

Perfect timing. Just picked up at nvidia shield tablet. Now to see how pay to play this is going to be.

 

[MadeFromMetal]

INB4 thinking El Generico the nameless goon ninja in this trailer is a new character for some reason.

If Sami is a guest character, I'll....Probably find it really stupid but main him anyway.

 

[TopTierHarley]

Only a few will get that reference lol

 

[kantboy-2]

Unlocking Rain and Baraka through mobile?


Brilliant!!


Seriously, this should be as fun as Injustice.

 

[klala]

Missing Windows Phone? wtf

 

[Gengar]

Can't wait to see Tanya, Fujin, Havik, Frost, Tremor, Sareena, and Tremor make their exclusive debuts on the mobile app XD

Yeah thats gonna be really annoying when the mobile version keeps getting characters and updates MONTHS after they leave MKX. Super depressing that characters like darkseid showed up exclusively in the mobile app and im sure the trend will continue here.

Precisely. The game would be far more fun if it wasn't used as a way to force us to unlock things for the console.

I said it before, stuff like this makes a Komplete Edition much more desirable.

The unlocks for Injustice weren't that much of a big deal. I mean, there were a couple of costumes, but nothing groundbreaking and nothing you wouldn't have been fine without.

I mainly played the game on its own merit, just to see how long it'd take me to beat. I had a good time and took it at my own pace. But if anyone decides to skip out, I doubt they'll be missing much from the MKX experience.

Now if DLC characters or game modes were only unlocked this way, that'd be a different story altogether.
