Joe from GamersFTW writes: A couple of days ago, NetherRealm tweeted about the free medieval costume pack that will be coming to Mortal Kombat X next month- what a nice thing to do. Free content, even if it is just a skin pack, is always nice to see from a developer. So PS4 and Xbox One will be able to download the pack on 1st March. Wait, what about those who have Mortal Kombat X on PC? Well, they just won’t be getting it. What did you expect, PC gamers? Something nice for you to enjoy? In the words of the modern philosopher Louis C.K: why would anything nice ever happen?
Warner Bros. announced it's pivoting to live-service games, which could be a disastrous move for its devs
I don’t think there ever was a time for GaaS. Its entire resistance is revolved around making a game that generates recurring revenue constantly throughout its lifetime. It’s straight up a corporate scumbag design.
I watched the video seeing if anything changed since the initial Suicide gameplay vid before the delay and it looks the same. So weird watching all the characters just start a gun to their back and bounce super high shooting with no kick-back animation in an empty dead world. The voice acting is cringe and there doesn’t have any sense of atmosphere or immersion like the Arkham games.
And they expect you to pay $70 to $100 for this and then pay more for Battle Passes and items to make grinding less a chore. Yea, no thank you. I hope you learn a hard lesson with this one.
Today, during Warning Bros' conference call, chief executive officer David Zaslav talked about Mortal Kombat 1, Hogwarts Legacy, and the company's gaming business.
yea, because thats what people want, especially after those games sold millions and are not live service games haha.
so dumb haha.
Genius executives at work. "hey, what we're doing is working great. Let's change it."
"Invasions" is technically free live service game with new content every 45 days. It's the best mode MK has ever had IMO. As a single player gamer, it gives me a reason to stick around after the story mode.
New mk sold less then the last in the same time frame the NEW MK is legit a live service game with its horrible monopoly board. I just wanted a normal title...
It's not on older hardware, so that's why it seems less. No ps4/xbox one versions.
I doubt older hardware would make a difference, given the ratios of sales of other multi-gen games
Nah the new MK full of live service shit even the singleplayer monopoly board they gave use instead of a normal kyrpt says enough and sales reflect that also this MK is very combo heavy it not noob friendly what's so ever like others
When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. In fact, it's hard to believe nobody has developed this yet. The Boys deserves its own Mortal Kombat-style fighter.
Not sure every brutal tv-series with badass kharacters needs its own fighting game ..or there would be a profitable market for them, but yes.. an MK / Injustice style fighting game
..or maybe one with krazy aerial fighting as well would fit The Boys. And I myself would like that a lot more than seeing Homelander or another kharacter as guest in MK.
Nah not enough characters invincible in the other hand have way more characters comparing both tv shows comics is a different story but most characters aren’t fleshed out on the boys they just show up out of the blue for the big party 🤷🏿
idk if there are enough notable characters to make a full game out of. having the star characters appear in mk seems like a better option, imo.
Homelander in Mortal Kombat is a great idea with amazing finishing moves. He screams Mortal Kombat guest character!
A Train Vs Kabal wow tha would be nice 👍 Kabal would say thank you for copying my finisher now let me show you how it’s really done!
Honestly it should be left untouched. I fear it'll fall into the hands of a developer that would just make some poor effort attempt for a buck. I can't help but picture a game with the likeness of the actors, and shallow/repetitive button smashing gameplay
Not a bad idea. Now I expect the people over at the MK studio will try and get “The Boys” license and charge me $5 for each character I want to use from the boys in the next MK game
Wouldn’t Injustice 3 be better? Evil Superman will always be better than discount evil Superman.
I'm surprised the skin pack was free......
Too bad
No wonder. It seems only around 15% of us bought the PC version.
But that might be Warners fault as well since it received a bad port which made the news at launch.
Most MK fans are on Playstation.
Slow fatality
I've said it many times, but WB pissed of pc gamers good last year with the 2 worst ports of the year (MKX and AK). If they weren't going to put effort into the pc version, then don't release one. Many pc gamers also own consoles and would buy games they really want there if need be. See: Bloodborne, TLOU, Halo 5, Destiny Madden, etc.
Not only will I now not buy a pc version of a WB game but I also won't buy the console version. They know this, and some pencil pusher said this the best COA, so fuck em.
