Zapp Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 Announced for 2015 youtu.be/Ci6lMQNLKZU http:// Loved Mortal Kombat 9. High Hopes for this.
Manwell Pablo Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 9 was a brilliant fighting game, only thing that's got close to Street Fighter IV this generation if you ask me. EDIT: Well, last generation now, technically.
Legend_in_blue Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 Problem with this is that it's being released cross platform. Therefore it won't be as good as it should be on ps4/xbone. I have the last one and I'll probably pass on this one.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 4 June 2014 Posted 4 June 2014 Killer Instinct was a bit of a dud so fingers crossed this will be a really good game, fan of the series but prefer Street Fighter, so well balanced.
Legend_in_blue Posted 10 June 2014 Posted 10 June 2014 The fact that it's cross gen still concerns me. It does look decent though and the last one is very good.

Ed boon has said in an interview his ideas and work has been exclusively to be for the ps4/xbone to get the best possible game for next gen consoles, and that he's leaving it to somebody else to make those ideas work for ps3/xbox360 Everything I'm seeing and hearing is making me dread thinking I'll have to wait till 2015.
Legend_in_blue Posted 10 April 2015 Posted 10 April 2015 My pre-order is on its way! Will post up initial thoughts after giving it a go tomorrow.
Legend_in_blue Posted 10 April 2015 Posted 10 April 2015 The cheapest price was £36.85 which is what I pre-ordered it for a few weeks back - simply games. They've upped that now to £38.85. Next pre-order will be for The Witcher 3 or Project Cars. Get in early to get the decent prices.
Brenfox Posted 10 April 2015 Posted 10 April 2015 Not seen much about this to be honest but surely they're just rehashing a 20 year old game again.

VLC86 Posted 12 April 2015 Posted 12 April 2015 Mine arrived yesterday and it's pretty good! Seams very similar to 9 but still need to have a proper go.
Legend_in_blue Posted 12 April 2015 Posted 12 April 2015 Unfortunately, mine did not arrive yesterday. for tomorrow.
Zapp Posted 12 April 2015 Author Posted 12 April 2015 Unfortunately, mine did not arrive yesterday. for tomorrow. probably a good job mine didnt arrive yesterday, not sure id have left the sofa all weekend.
Legend_in_blue Posted 12 April 2015 Posted 12 April 2015 probably a good job mine didnt arrive yesterday, not sure id have left the sofa all weekend. My evening was taken up watching our game of the day on sky sports, followed by MoTD, so it wasn't too bad.
VLC86 Posted 12 April 2015 Posted 12 April 2015 Been on this a bit more tonight, great game. Iv even used a Monk as a weapon.
Legend_in_blue Posted 12 April 2015 Posted 12 April 2015 Been on this a bit more tonight, great game. Iv even used a Monk as a weapon. Getting impatient for this now. Does it work with PS4 shareplay? If the fighting mechanics are as good as the most recent Street Fighter release it should be one of the best in the genre. For me it's always had the edge over Street Fighter because there are more characters that are enjoyable to use compared to those in Street Fighter. I use my two favs Ryu and Ken over and over in SF but in MK, Reptile, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, Kung Kao, Liu Kang, Ermac and Kitana are cool characters to use. The three variants should add greater depth as well to the characters. Some of the newcomers look decent also, Erron Black and Kenshi.
VLC86 Posted 13 April 2015 Posted 13 April 2015 I haven't tried the share play yet but I guess it does.
Legend_in_blue Posted 13 April 2015 Posted 13 April 2015 My copy has finally arrived. Put it through an hour's worth. Great game. Looks stunning, really nice touches, attention to detail makes a lot of difference. These easy fatalities though are only on limited supply. Red tokens need to be collected, but how? The standard ones are easy enough to pull off though. Will post up more of a review when I've put some more time into it.
