This is some nice teasin' Warner Brothers thank you:)

alexkoepp3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

I got nothing against scorpion but sub zeros always been my pick of the two.

sucks its cross gen. You're never going to get the current gen install base up if you keep making all the games playable on last generation systems. Start making all current gen and people will make the switch if that's where all the good games are.

What's the point of buying a new console at the middle/end of a generation, you guys just now getting rid of those CRT televisions too?

just sell you old console and games, donate some blood/semen and you'll have no problem affording it. And you'll save lives and give the gift of life to those who are incapable. New system and you get to be a better person, its like a win/win/win.

Genki3641d ago

Because the current generation of consoles isn't even equivalent to half of a generational leap. Look at the difference between the PS2/XBox generation to the previous gen. It was night and day; the 360 and PS3 were, for all intents and purposes, state of the art upon release.

What do we have today? Glorified tablets.

Shad0wRunner3641d ago

@Genki

I disagree. Theres enough of a gen gap between PS3 and PS4. Idk about 360 and XBox One...or the Wii U...BUT, were getting games in 1080p on PS4, some of which are above 30FPS. Yeah.

Last gen we were getting games at 720p. It's a big difference, bro. If you dont believe it. Play MGS4 and compare it to MGS:GZ OR compare Infamous 1&2 to 2nd Son.

The difference is night and day.

I agree with Alexkoepp, here. Stop with all this crossgen bs and FORCE people to go next gen.

RumbleFish3641d ago

I will buy it for PC, but I don't think they should force people to buy new consoles. We should force the devs to bring the games as good as possible on all the platforms.

I think exclusives are for selling consoles. I got mine for Killzone SF and MGS GZ.

slapedurmomsace3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

So.....everyone likes to get their panties in a bunch about how quickly MS dropped support for the O.G. xbox when the 360 was released, than they re- bunch them when they continue to support the 360 so they don't make the same mistake twice? I don't get it...personal I love the fact Sony supports their systems well after their newer ones has released, why is it a negative when MS does it?

o/t..love the box art..scorpion was and is the man.

Cross gen....urgh

I don't mind the first year after new consoles have just released but the game is coming out in 2015, cross gen shouldn't exist for massive titles by then.

They should be taking advantage of new consoles, not being limited by old ones.

videgamenext13641d ago

Cross gen is fine so everyone gets a chance to play. Not everyone can afford next gen until closer to the middle or the end of the generation.

-Foxtrot3641d ago

No offence but that's not really the studios problem.

If you can't afford it then...tough. I couldn't afford my PS3 when it first came out but I wouldn't of wanted them to hold back on some titles just because I was still saving my pennies. I'm not that selfish.

You'll still get to experience them once you've saved up for one though, by then those titles will be cheaper.

Everyone wins then.

Razputin3641d ago

It is the studios problem when they want to make the profit possible and most people are still on a last gen console.

I personally couldn't care about it being cross gen. There isn't much they could do with a fighting game.

Revolver_X_3641d ago

Well said Raz. Cross gen doesnt bother me. Take my money!

XisThatKid3641d ago

i say if dev teams have the man power and support the last gen. it would be different if it hinders current gen dev but if they hire specific teams or people for a project let em.

Agreed, it's such a shame that the pc version will be limited by the weak PS4 and XB1

-Foxtrot3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

Why do people like you always bring the PC into arguments like this. We're talking about consoles....CONSOLES

You should be lucky your getting a version for the PC.

People like you fail to realise that developers care more about consoles then PC's.

I haven't once seen a developer take the best PC specs out there and make a game built on those specs. Would it look amazing...of course but it's never going to happen

pompombrum3641d ago

The truth be told, in the argument regarding cross gen holding consoles back, doesn't PC essentially discredit said argument? If PC games based off of Xbox 360 and PS3 games can look as great as they do (Splinter Cell Blacklist comes to mind) Why shouldn't X1 and PS4 do too?

Shnooze3641d ago

@-Foxtrot

You're pretty much arguing one of the silliest points imaginable. It's like you've taken hypocrisy to a whole new level with this farce of a claim.

WeAreLegion3641d ago

Our high end PCs are holding back supercomputers.

We could go on forever, man.

Chrischi19883641d ago

Umm... Crysis is a game made exactly like what you said you never saw...

XxExacutionerxX3641d ago

Who plays fighting games on pc, really. (I'm sorry people do it to mod fighters) Forget pc

High-end PC gaming has to be limited by low-end PC rigs else there isn't enoguh people to sell games to.

HappyWithOneBubble3641d ago

Last gen consoles can still hold up good. There's not enough next gen consoles sold yet for these big budget games. Nothing wrong with cross gen.

SugarSoSweet3641d ago

EVERYTHING is wrong with cross gen.

The 360 is dam near almost 10 years old TEN!!! It's not just about the power, the architecture itself is ancient. When you develop a game you have to code/develop to the lowest common dominator (to save money and time)which would be the PS3 AND 360

This is why Next Gen Only titles such as Ryse, Infamous SS, EA's UFC , DriveClub and Deep Down look so dam good because their superior ARCHITECTURE, as well as their increased power is taken fully advantage of. MK X will even come close to looking like one of these titles

It's a dam shame a major title such as MK that's coming in 2015 is cross gen. I can take cross gen the first year in but not two years in especially on a title like MK which isn't released yearly like COD or Fifa. The graphics won't be that much of an improvement and will probably just look like MK9 up-scaled to 1080p

christian hour3641d ago

The only reason MKX would be cross-gen (in my opinion) is because it most likely started life as a 360/ps3 title in the first place before they got their hands on xb1/ps4 dev kits.

AliTheSnake13641d ago

What's wrong with crossgen ? It's a fighting game.Not a detailed open world game.
They can always put stuff on the current gen, that can't be done on last gen, even with the game is cross.

Audiggity3641d ago

While I agree with the fact that the old consoles are limiting the new - there's not much you can do to solve this issue.

Money is money, sales are sales, shares are shares... AAA titles aren't going to forfeit millions in revenue because people like us want the games to look prettier and run smoother.

The install base of the previous gen is MASSIVE. Big publishers are going to take some time to move on from this. Hopefully* learning how to get more out of the new gen in the meantime.

SugarSoSweet3641d ago

I HATE cross gen too it basically just makes games look like a PS3/360 title at 1080p

You won't see graphics like The Order 1886, Ryse or Infamous Second Son on cross gen titles

ThichQuangDuck3641d ago

You do realize that this is a 2D fighting game right? You do also realize that something called Install Base is why this is cross gen as well? Mortal Kombat X will not be limited but will allow for a variety of people to play.

videgamenext13641d ago

Nahhh son. You don't seem to understand how business works. @Raz said it clearly. They have profit to make on these titles it's costing them millions to make so offering to those who have not crossed over to ps4 or xbox one. Is a big margin to hit as well.

Chrischi19883641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

Cross Gen in a fighting game is not as bad as other game genres. I bet even the X360 will be capable enough to output it in 1080p and most people dont own 4K TVs yet, so what can Next Gen offer in a fighting game? Not really better visuals, only if you have a 4K TV and the game is made with 4K in mind...

Braid3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

Edit: Sorry for the double post, see my comment below.

Braid3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

Characters with higher polygons which look CGI-like with better textures, higher environmental details, better shaders and post-proceesing effects, maybe? There are tons and tons of things that can be (and always will be) improved in a fighting game. With your logic we'd be stuck with Mortal Kombat 4's visuals after it made the 3D jump- and look how far we've come from that.

Joe9133641d ago

It's about making money there is no point in them even making a game if making money is not the goal and with that said there are what 160 million last gen consoles out there and 12 current gen lol yea they would screw themselves if they did not make for both gens so yea it is the studio's problem.

elhebbo163641d ago

Well its a fighting game.. It doesn't really need to push boundaries.

leahcim3641d ago

yes we all know that means no true next-gen.

sad

ShinMaster3641d ago

It's a 2D fighting game... ffs

Bobertt3641d ago

This is a fighting game so cross gen doesn't matter, its not like there are gonna be a any game changing features they can add to the fighting games that can't be implemented on both gens. It will probably only affect the graphics.

randomass1713641d ago

Why ignore a valuable market? There are millions more people who have 360s and PS3s. They can most likely provide a quality experience even while developing on last generation systems.

I dont like it. Needs more subzero. In fact I hope the Kollecter's Edition is a close up on the Cold One's icy stare.

Also I better hear triple the moaning about cross gen here as I did at the Horzon 2 article since this is on 4 platforms AND cross-gen AND one studio!

trywizardo3641d ago

this makes me want to keep my 360 , but time to move on and buy next gen at last :/

Clown_Syndr0me3641d ago

After seeing the trailer was hoping it would be current gen only.
As long as it doesn't hamper the quality of PS4/X1 I don't care, maybe it will be developed seperately on last gen consoles like some other games have been..

Cool. Wanted to play Hell Let Loose and I always enjoy a good golf game. Mortal Kombat X should have been 11 IMO though.

NoFanBoy965d ago

HLL seems a bit of a mess on console, I hope it improves but didn't have fun with the beta.

EvertonFC965d ago

Same was looking fwd to the beta but it was not a great experience

1nsomniac964d ago

Yea HLL is great on PC but is really hard to enjoy currently on console.

NeoGamer232965d ago

Ya, I really wanted to play PGA 2K21 but didn't want to pay the price.

Eonjay965d ago

Agreed. MKX should have been 11. I will play PGA though. Haven't played since Tiger Woods. This month feels lacking.

Ashunderfire86964d ago

I know right lol!!! Mortal Kombat X is free on PS5, but I understand PS4. Heck the PS4 version should be easy to get for just $20 or even less $10 dollars on ebay or selling stuff apps.

MKX was already in PS Plus Collection. This is the second time they've double dipped. Thank god the golf game lets u hit balls into the crowd.

BrainSyphoned965d ago

At least twice this year they have double dipped into PS Now games as well.

Christopher965d ago

Two separate services isn't double dipping. People do understand that, right? Subscribing to one or the other doesn't give you benefits to the other in any way.

jznrpg965d ago

Fine with me I don’t sub to PS now

ocelot07965d ago

You don't know PS Collection is not available to PS4 only owners right? Only way they can claim this is by buying a PS5 or logging into a PS5 and claiming them.

So am pretty sure a fair few of the 100+ million PS4 owners are thankful.

Knushwood Butt965d ago

Mortal Kombat X was never released in Japan so this is another one that won't be included in the lineup for Japan and will probably be swapped for some crap but I'll remain optimistic.

Silly gameAr965d ago

I'm pretty sure MK has never been on plus. In the US anyway.

Not sure what PS Now has to do with PS Plus.

I've never liked those kinds of fighting games so mortal combat is out. Golf? I don't know why such a game even exists. the last time I played a golf game was on the Apple ][. And finally hell let loose looks like just another in the endless stream of ww2 shooters, I already have enough of those in my backlog that I will probably never play either

SurgicalMenace964d ago

You know when you actually buy your games you wouldn't be so ungrateful for the free ones. Just a thought.

LiViNgLeGaCY964d ago

This month just didn't appeal to ME personally. If it's a good a good month for others, hey more power to them. And please, I'm willing to bet I've bought more Playstation games than you have. Probably shouldn't make assumptions about people without really knowing them, just a thought.

SurgicalMenace964d ago

How much you willing to wager, sir? I've purchased just over 20 games this month alone. Have over 830 games in my digital library 250 on my shelf and that is only the PS4. We'll skip the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, VITA, and PS5 just to keep it fair. Who's counting though?🤷🏾‍♂️

LiViNgLeGaCY963d ago

Whatever you'd like. Since the PS1 days, my collection is in the thousands, just on Playstation alone. Pissing match aside, again, you shouldn't make comments in the future where you look stupid (ex. Telling someone you don't know that they don't buy games)

SurgicalMenace962d ago

Or perhaps, since you have such the healthy collection, stop whining about the charity. If they don't give it, then buy it.

Shit games this month. Mortal Kombat X is already on PS+ Collection what the point of have it again. Throwing some indie and would be more happy.

Because the PS+Collection is only for PS5 owners which majority of playstation owners don't have

KyRo965d ago (Edited 965d ago )

Hell Let Loose looks great but it's not a casual game and a bit of a acquired taste. It's nice for people to dive in a d try it though. MKX is already on PS5 for free with the PS collection so that bad for PS5 owners and it was only two months ago everyone complained about a sports title being included as a game but yet they follow suit with another one 🤦🏻‍♂️

PS Plus started so well at the beginning of the year too.

SurgicalMenace964d ago

I never thought I'd see a day when people complain about what they get for free. Hey, there is another great alternative to settling for free games, BUYING what you want.

How much do you think a market leader is going to be willing to cut into their own pockets? How many games do you actually purchase or do you just wait for them to hit plus?

We actually are grown enough to know that we have to pay for greatness over here. You have an option to go to MS if you'd like as well. Otherwise, add it to your library, say thank you, and move on. How old are we here?🤔

KyRo964d ago (Edited 964d ago )

I've been subbed to PS plus since the very day it started when all we'd get is PS1 and minis on PS3. PS Plus as a service was always about the games. Now they've made it a requirement for online play you mistakingly think these games are the bonus. They're not. We pay for access to the games via the subscription. They're not free so before running your mouth and giving it the big one, please educate yourself before calling people out.

SurgicalMenace964d ago (Edited 964d ago )

Well sir, I too have been a PS+ member since it's inception and own well over 3,000 games on PS3, 1200 of PS4, and close to every game available on PS5. I speak from a supporting standpoint and I'm strongly against people who do more talking with their mouths than their wallets.

If you've not invested into the best experience possible, then why should your opinion be acknowledged? Plus is 70 dollars a year that equates to about $6 dollars a month....what do you expect to get, a choice?🤣

The day that beggers become choosers is the day that gaming dies. How many of the new releases have you purchased? If the answer is none, be happy with what is given. When you're playing the latest, you have little concern for the hand outs. Just a thought, champ.🤣

Kurt Russell964d ago

Personally I am looking forward to Hell Let Loose. I don't think I would have dived in with a purchase for that one, but I am dead curious to play it... I am hoping it is just the kind of MP I have been hoping for since R6S went doolally.

KyRo964d ago

Yeah it looks great for sure. I've watched a few people play it on PC and I'm interested to know it's transitioned to console.

outsider1624965d ago

Yesss!! Played HLL open beta and it was amazing. The immersiveness, the one bullet shot, you can't just go running around shooting like in CoD or Bf.

NoFanBoy965d ago

The beta has a low framerate, lag, loads of pop in textures, flickering shadows etc. It felt horrible to control and aim. If they could improve it then there potential.
