Mortal Kombat X trailer had zero gameplay, all cinematic

In case there was any doubt in your mind, we have proof positive it was just a simulation of gameplay and not the genuine article.

I tend to think of articles like this as "buzz kill articles". Let's just be excited there is a brand new Mortal Kombat game when MK9 was so good

Bruce_Wayne3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

I liked the online in MK reboot better than Injustice online, especially the KOTH, so I'm hoping it makes a return in this one the way it was in MK. And hopefully they bring back 2v2.

Timesplitter143641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

well, pointing out that it's CG doesn't mean we're not excited. It's just that a lot of people didn't realize this and it's better to point it out right away to avoid misunderstandings

Anthotis3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

Don't you mean "Sub-Zero" gameplay?

Sharingan_no_Kakashi3641d ago

Injustice was so broken when it came out. Par for the course with new fighting games though. It's come a ways since then. The AI is still garbage though. Mk9 is still a better game technically, but the sequel should show lots of improvements. Can't wait to see what MK10 will look like on next gen. "Injustice Too"...

alexkoepp3641d ago

Yeah that is a buzz kill. Honestly it looked in game models and everything with maybe unique camera angles that wouldnt be in the game. For CGI then I'd say it looks pretty poor, because the current gen systems could definitely do those graphics.

Compromised because of last generation sounds like.

SilentNegotiator3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

Confirming that a trailer is CGI is being a "buzz kill"?

Maybe you need to...um, kill YOUR buzz because you're drunk.
Nailed it.

UltraNova3641d ago

Well dah...

OT: I couldn't be happier if they released it exactly like that! No HUD no nothing just you, your opponent and the level nothing else distracting.!

Maybe a very faint health bar and timer that only appear when you get hit or when the time comes down to, maybe 30 secs, that's it! no fancy hit FX and shit just that brutal hit collision effect we've seen here!

Man that would be really, really good!

Exactly. And to the author of this article, I refer you to the image provided in the link:

Display3640d ago

"obviously" yes , but not because of the graphics. After seeing The order 1886 , Ryse , The Division...These types of graphics don't seem impossible to achieve.

No , it was "obvious", because it's another cross-gen title. (i.e. , another watch dogs fiasco)

Tetsujin3640d ago

No shit

OT

Who couldn't tell it was a movie/teaser?

SonyPS3603640d ago (Edited 3640d ago )

I think a lot of people thought it was using the game engine. Just because it has flashy camera angles and things you wouldn't find in a game, doesn't mean it isn't rendered using the engine.

Either way I'm sure the next-gen MK will look great.

Zero-One3640d ago

Implying that it won't look as good as this? Well i'm not buying then. Besides, how is it 'obvious'? Those little parts look like the usual camera that Mortal Kombat has.

Timesplitter143641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

How anyone could think this was gameplay is beyond me, but I did see a lot of people who thought it was in-game footage.

But the real game could look close to that, with the exception of the animation which cannot possibly look this seamless in a real game. The camera, too, will not zoom-in on the cool parts like it did in the trailer, because that would prevent the players from seeing what's actually going on.

As soon as they start fighting and the trailer starts mimmicking an actual mortal kombat fight, you can tell right away that those are not animations that are usable in a game context. Especially the way they are blocking attacks

Baka-akaB3641d ago

To be fair for a few phases it does adopt the viewpoint of a usual MK fight and the camera . The rest is wishful thinking and dashed hopes for a few

LOGICWINS3641d ago

Wishful thinking my ass. I hope The Order, UC4, and Quantum Break raises the standards for the entire industry in terms of visuals. This gen is about blurring the lines between gameplay and CGI. I understand that in 2014 devs still havent had enough time with these consoles, but as of 2015, there are no more excuses.

I'm not buying any cross gen b.s. I'm not supporting any dev that doesn't devote all their resources into next-gen consoles/PCs. By doing so, your supporting stagnation.

Baka-akaB3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

I'm not saying it's even impossible to achieve . But i sure wasnt expecting it from NetherRealms ., i dont have that kind of faith in them . A big clue was how smooth the animation was compared to the stiff usual MK style ... a dead giveaway to CGI

DarkBlood3641d ago

@logicwin

not enough owners to justify just focusing on next gen bro

N4Flamers3640d ago

@baka thats funny I thought it had the trademark mk stiff choreography. They need to stop mocapping random people and get some fighters with good form. I knew it wasn't gameplay but it did show a few things that will be in the game like xray moves and environment weapons. I liked it but im a scorpion fan.

Baka-akaB3640d ago (Edited 3640d ago )

Nah ingame stuff is usually even more stiff . The hitboxes seemed to weird to for it to be ingame too

Sadly there's many youtube comments written by wishful thinking children who want to believe things they know deep down are not true. Taking this as a fact and spreading it out around to everybody creating false information. That's why this article exists

Audiggity3641d ago (Edited 3641d ago )

Sure. But... A small part of me was hoping that its at least representing game play elements.

The environmental weapons, interaction, area specific fatalities, new x ray mode, super moves you can "charge" Ala street fighter... Oh. And that slow mo effect outside of x ray mode would be sweet.

9 was so good... They could just tweak it a bit for next gen. Add new characters. And I'd still buy it day 1.

thehitman3641d ago

Not gonna lie I thought next-generation fighting games was here lol... oh well.

BitbyDeath3641d ago

Fighting games barely changed from PS2->PS3.
I knew this was too good to be true.

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

1nsomniac965d 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.

Ashunderfire86965d 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.

Profchaos965d ago

You can play it right now open beta is live and free

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.

CorndogBurglar964d ago

BLow965d ago

And like clockwork, you always have some complaining. Happy Gaming

Ozzy2407964d ago

Only PS5 owners get the PS plus collection which majority of playstation owners don't have

TheExecutioner964d ago (Edited 964d ago )

Not every one have ps+ collection

When u will stop thinking like a child

Knushwood Butt964d ago

Update

Japan gets Castlevania Requiem instead of MKX

Not crap then!

3 games I won't play even when they are free

lipton101959d ago

Really? They’re all legit good games

kneon959d ago

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?🤷🏾‍♂️

964d ago
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)

SurgicalMenace963d ago

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

Pocahontas959d ago

WhT do you do for a living to afford 20 games in one month

RedDevils964d ago

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.

Ozzy2407964d ago

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.

Majin-vegeta965d ago

Thry are aware.They made a post yesterday

FPS_D3TH964d ago

It’s not really optimized too well on pc yet either. Lots of flickering
