feel bad for last gen users, few mates who are still stuck on it.
but like others have said, it was kinda exspected,
that is why i got my ps4 and ps4 stick WEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL in advance of april

(well.. ps4 stick only came in post 2 weeks before release but it wasnt from lack of trying lol)

To be honest, I think NRS only kept PS3/360 in their plans as an insurance policy because MKX as a whole was probably green-lit sometime in 2013, current gen had barely gone under way and they were unsure on how the market would transition. Some 2 years later and 4 months post release, I guess they assessed that there has been a big enough market and they can afford to pull the plug. At this point last gen there were a lot more people who hadn't invested in a new platform yet.

Besides, we all know these versions would have been competitively unplayable.

Ducks can also fly. Seriously though, there should have never been a last gen version, it's a waste of resources and restricts current gen
100 times this.

I feel that in some cases, MKX was held back so that it COULD fit onto Last Gen, only to realize it likely couldn't handle the enhanced UE engine they used.

Would like to see what NRS can do with UE4 next go around.

Two pages of comments and not one like for the story lol Anyway, I wonder, if they were going to end up not doing MKX for 360 and PS3, could NRS just used Unreal 4 and have better netcode for current gen MKX? Does anybody know if Unreal 4 can have better netplay than NRS's modified Unreal engine 3?

HVS has been off the job on this for quite some time FYI.
That may or may not be true.. but it doesn't change the fact that I won't be suckered into pre-ordering again for ANY system. I'm sure it doesn't make those with last gen systems feel better either. This was the only new game I was excited for and the PC community is basically dead. 50 hours in the first 2 weeks, 10 hours for me since. At least the PS4/XboxOne crowd has something worth playing.
