Thought MS had given them the IP.
As long as we can just play traditional 1 on 1 I'll be happy.

I do like that Liu Kang had infinite power to create the perfect universe and even in that one, Shang Tsung is still around

Do we consider Shang Tsung or Shao Khan the "true" MK baddie?

Tsung for me.

Definitely Tsung. He's the man. The whole first Goro then Tsung combo can't be topped.

Definitely Shang Tsung, he's not the biggest guy in charge but he's the most Machiavellian and all round moustache twirling bad guy.

And he had the decency not to cheese the crap out of all of his fights

Still not sold on the kameo thing it whatever the fuck it’s called. There were consumables in 11 that did the same thing in the towers but they were confined there so I didn’t mind. Not a fan of having them in the regular game.
Apart from that it really does look great, and it’s still a day one for me.

I don't know, I thought the Kameos looked interesting. They could add some unique ways to mix up your character and some fun combos could emerge. Having said that, it does run the risk of each character just having a "correct" Kameo.
I know nothing about fighting games though (as my continued attempts to play SF6 are proving).

It’s not that I don’t like the mechanics of it, just more how it appears. I just like mortal kombat to be one vs one. Keep the other combatants jumping in for marvel vs capcom.

Not sold on tag teaming but do like the idea of longer looking stages.

As Wunty correctly points out they are exactly like Marvel vs Capcom, more specifically this is like Marvel vs Capcom 1 where you couldn't play as the assists and the best assist was Colossus in that gam. There will definitely be a meta. |

I wonder if they've ever considered going back to 2D graphics to capture the feel of the original games, but with an updated aesthetic. Think Streets of Rage 4.
3D fighting games just don't do it for me, especially when Z axis movement isn't even utilised. 3D just seems like an over-engineered solution, whilst sacrificing any 2D nostalgia in the process. Maybe I'm just getting old.
I'm also not sold on the locations. This is meant to be a serious interdimensional fighting tournament for the future of mankind, fought to ancient rules. I want dank dungeons and fighting pits, not LA mansions and Chinese restaurants.

Is it really suppose to be serious? I thought it was meant to be cheesy and lame. It looks like a 90s weeb's martial arts fantasy

Shut up you two. This is as annoying when user Tonka used to call Korea "Corea" just to be an annoying weirdo who was, funnily enough, an annoying weirdo.

I passed a dog grooming parlour the other day called "Kanine Kutz". My wife had to stop me from setting fire to a newspaper and pushing it through the letterbox.

That looks great. I never got on with the newer Mk titles, I always felt it was very stiff, or something. That looks a lot smoother though.
And you know that, being Netherealm, the single player content will be substantial.
It's a dick move having a character as a pre-order though. I won't be getting it day one so will be waiting for a sale

This game has a lot of work to do because nobody really gives a crap about MK anymore
