This game looks amazing.

[Sam Fisher]

Trailer music was garbage tho, i prefer sounds of screams, bones breaking, flesh ripping than this wack ass song anyday

[PowerOfTheCloud]

Yeah, the music didn't fit and made the trailer seem like it was fan made.

[sinjonezp]

Okay, is it strange i feel the same way? lol ..However, the 21 Savage song was not bad, I just could not put it into the reality of the trailer. Maybe it is something that will grow on you like that original techno Mortal Kombat song. Also, the game looks great. Color and graphics are like a mixture of 9-10. I do hope they turn the gore all the way up to 12 after the stuff in MKXL.

[Sam Fisher]

Gore to almost saw movie quality?. Id pre order the beta if possible lmao

[Activemessiah]

Metal is more appropriate for the violence

[EazyC]

How does a whole development studio listen to that trailer and go 'yeah, that's fitting'? IF you're going to put music on top of something so horrifically violent, surely it would be something like Meshuggah, or the instrumental stuff they used in Doom's trailers?

Luckily the game looks very nice indeed, but still... jesus christ.

[LOOK_AT_THIS_I]

Lol. Mumble rap belongs in one place. The trash can.

The YouTube comments were great.

[TimelessDbz]

Rap and fighting goes well together.

[TimelessDbz]

The song in trailer has bigger appeal to mainstream players then choosing a rock/metal song even techno . Most people who are going to see this trailer that watch ESPN, NFL, NBA etc will recognize the song there for bigger appeal ,

[michellelynn0976]

Oh the music was crap.

[jagermaster619]

Definitely! Crappy rap and Mortal Kombat don't mix!

[warriorcase]

Agreed. Some taiko drumming or similar would have been better. Music sounds so out of place.

[Vandamme21]

I’m gonna pass on this game...After beating the story mode on the last game...I never touch it again.

[SierraGuy]

Vandamme you were the original Johnny Cage!!!

[pody]

He was Guile

[jagermaster619]

I get that but maybe they throw something else in the mix this time. We shall see....

[Switch4One]

SierraGuy is right. Johnny Cage was inspired by Van Damme. In fact Van Damme was meant to play Johnny Cage back when the character was called Michael Grimm but Jean Claude declined the role and Johnny was created as a parody of Van Damme.

[81BX]

He was a crap actor lol

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Looks awesome

[robtion]

It does lool good but it's hard to get excited as this will take exploitation of it's customers to the next level.

Wish it wasn't so but it will wait and see. Season passes, cut 'Kontent', paywalls, and loot boxes, incoming.

[SierraGuy]

It's like they're not even games anymore.

Sad.

And it makes the game seem like a cheap f2p mobile game.

[Nate47]

But injustice 2 was pretty fair I'd say. U earned plenty of gear naturally and was only cosmetic.

[Switch4One]

Nope, it wasn't only cosmetic.

[Tazzy]

I hope whoever put this up is aware that it was all cinematic not the actual game.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Supposedly actual pics of gameplay on webpage...I'm always skeptical though.

[Tazzy]

No power bars or anything like that so I doubt they're gameplay shots gmaeplay shots would have a HUD.

[SierraGuy]

@Tazzy the original reveal trailers for the previous game depicting real game play also did not have power bars.

But it turned out to be actual gameplay.

[Dragonscale]

@tazzy, they can edit out the hud to make it look more cinematic.

[mafiahajeri]

Umm no the steam page had actual gameplay screenshots, looks really crisp, click the link.

[Tazzy]

If they were actual gameplay pics the pics would have power bars with their names and no pic has those.

[ForeverTheGoat]

These are actual gameplay screenshots. You do know developers remove HUD for most screenshots right?

[RobertNekita]

i really dislike the fact that they do this

[Dirtnapstor]

Yeah, you've got to be pretty dumb to think that trailer was gameplay. Safe bet no one is that stupid.
Trailer looked awesome but that hip hop bs ruined it for me. Completely out of context for what was happening on screen.

[ForeverTheGoat]

Actually the music matched perfectly with song. If you actually listened to the lyrics and know who 21 savage is, his music can be violent which represents the game and he referenced it multiple times.

[Dirtnapstor]

@ForeverTheGhost
I get what you’re saying regarding the lyrics, but Cradle of Filfth can be just as “violent” lyrically and musically much more appropriate.

[Furesis]

the pictures on the site are in game maybe u should have checked it out first no?

[Tedakin]

The pictures are not from the trailer. They look like gameplay images. The backgrounds are totally different in some of them.

[Tazzy]

Where are the power bars then???

[oasdada]

The screenshots are not from the cinematic but are from actual game engine.. Its funny how u cant tell the difference its pretty evident.. The trailer gfx were cgi and look way better than the screenshots..
O.T cant tell if the engine is the same as the injustice one as injuatice looks pretty dope and look better than these screens

[EddieNX]

Really cool that this is on Switch. Third party support is getting better and better!

[RealOldGamer]

Looks to be the best MK yet.

[CobraKai]

Loving Scorpion’s MK3 look.

[slavish0]

The trailer was really cool but where's the actual gameplay?

[mafiahajeri]

@Tazzy are you serious? The screens at the bottom are obviously how the game currently looks. Power bars? Lmao. Wth is that supposed to mean. No need to be hard headed your ass was wrong. That pics from the current state of the game. They never have power bars on early screens why would they, they wanna show how good the game looks. Not the UI. So what are those screens in your opinion? Captures from the CGI trailer? Really? The fire looks that shit in CGI?

Im having a hard time not calling you a dumbass...

[slavish0]

Im wanting a gameplay trailer...u know ...gameplay actually in motion. U must be on your period. :(

[NapalmSanctuary]

@slavish0 He clicked the wrong box. He's replying to a comment further up the page. But yeah, the trailer should have been actual gameplay. Few things as annoying in the modern industry as its reliance on cinematic trailers that show you nothing of the actual gameplay and mechanics. Was watching David Jaffe's VGA stream and he feels the same way. Gameplay is the one thing that separates this medium from all others. Kind of seems like they should lead with that.

[mafiahajeri]

I wasnt talking to you buddy, and your dumbass must have missed the January 17th full reveal date at the end of the trailer, and no I had my period last week :)

You and Tazzy must be twins 😂 ffs dumbasses... I want actual gameplay lol do some research before you speak.

[Smokehouse]

I just want to know what the collectors edition is lol. It said preorder on dec 7 but none of the stores are updated yet. I've never bee so eager to preorder something. It's my favorite franchise of all time.

[Adnanilyas21]

I missed MKX as i dont own a PS4 and its coming to the switch man oh man im excited

[Baza]

Awesome! Best fighting franchise out there right now.

[Imortus_san]

Best suprise of the show.

[Skankinruby]

Have Michael Myers as an add on fighter pleeeeeeaassee

[trouble_bubble]

But that awful, AWFUL music!

[Dissidia]

to each their own.

[CobraKai]

It’s terrible and it doesn’t fit MK, but for some reason I like em together

[Dizzy11523]

lol they fucked up and are going back to 3D.

[The7Reaper]

Gimme Smoke and have Reptile look like an actual ninja instead of a Jurassic Park reject and we will be all good.

[pody]

I never liked that version of him either.

[The7Reaper]

Only time it was remotely decent looking was in Shaolin Monks

[Tankbusta40]

Trailer looked awesome but can companies stop putting awful rap music in these trailers WTH

[Kakashi Hatake]

Does everything have to be metal and rock?

[Tankbusta40]

Never said anything about metal or rock... In fact the trailer didn't need music especially not that horrid rap garble

[hanko14]

shit music

[Xb1ps4]

They got me when they’re said we can customize the fighters! Mk is the only fighting game that gets it right, love the story they add to the game. Day 1

[SugarSoSweet]

The fact this game will be on the Nintendo Switch means the overall graphical fidelity will be compromised.

[Kikutaro]

Shame that the switch ver will bring the games quality down as usual

[jagermaster619]

Hoping for 4k on the x but I really don't have to worry I'm about 99.9% sure it will be. Curious if they will have a performance mode or just shoot for 4k 60fps.

[PaleMoonDeath]

This is so Metal.

[kevinsheeks]

lol i kind of enjoy the hate towards the music . . "get that rap out of my game" as if you had anything to do with the development don't like it don't buy it :D

rap is one of the most popular genres of music just get with the times lol

[81BX]

23 Apr 19, too far away!
