Pre order to receive a main character from the past 30 years.... How about fuck off?.
Hopefully they invest more of that budget in animations than just graphics and fatalities.

Exactly. Now imagine they selling "Kameos"(assist) and chars.
Will not be coerent. Maybe that portal Shang Tsung opened drop chars from the past series.
Johnny Cage and JCVD costume was a letdown for me. I just wanted a game like the trailer.
Unfortunately, with those "Kameos" will be a mess, and that was created for $$$. Why just don't choose the assist on the main base as EVERY game. This feels like Arcana Heart.
I cant even imagine how they will handle and balance 2 rosters. Man...Im seriously worried.

Its by purpose. They have money to do 10x times better animations than Tekken.
Second time i said this here: Identity.

I don't know what it would take to get me back into fighting games. I think just being an old man now and not having buddies over after school to fight with. I hope this is a really lean reboot. Needs to have a limited roster of classic characters and it's gotta do something cool with the look. Like shooting for photo realism type of look. The past few MK games have a really weird plasticy thing going on. I've picked them up deeply discounted and just can't get my hooks in.

Eh, I kinda feel the same way. There seems to be some directive to overdesign the shit out everything in the past several MK games. Look at how overboard they’ve gone with the fatalities. There’s a lot of thought that can be put into simple and focused designs.

I can't wait to perform the next gen bicycle kick, that was the best, both in the original movie and the games.

Namco have 10x times the money to make better graphics, always using the newest UE but why put that effort in. Identity, we want our game to look a generation behind especially when a new Tekken comes out once in 6 years.

I actually wonder what or how the story will be rebooted. To be honest I expected more. The outfits, the shown characters...we have seen this before. Scorpion and Sub-Zero have absolutely the same outfit but color swap (like back in the day but we dont need that now). Even scorpions mask doesnt seem new. I thought it was going to be a reimagining. Meleena and Kitana look exactly the same too. Past MKs we got tottally different looks for each character with hints to the past.
UNLESS this teaser is showing how the game would begin and that eclipse will change the whole world and THEN we get the reimagined MK. Just spit balling here.

I don't even know if those prices were fair, were they?. Because today we see better and cheaper games all the time.

Most likely at PS Showcase considering how soon the game is coming out.

Netherralm Studios should add this dude as a playable character or use him for motion capture.

I hope there will be a demo in the future like SF6. I’d play that all the time until a Komplete Edition came out.

Its mk man. Its their style...
I cant imagine a mk game with Tekken animations.
Ps: Tekken is just an example of good animations, dont need to use this as an argument to comparison.

Disclaimer: I am taking no side on this as I enjoy both types of animation and art styles.
What the anime purists are complaining about is that Mk doesn’t feature the animation work of something like SF, GG and other Japanese developed 2d fighting games, or rather their style.
Sure, I can agree with that but those games also don’t do the whole photorealism look so it’s hard to judge.
The posted gif is not rly fair since mk11 improved quite a lot from mkx so there is also that and I’m sure this one will also be a step up.
How about we enjoy both styles? Just saying

Yes, me. I loved the SP content heavy MK games of the PS2 era. Hope they bring some of that back.

Most people do lol, MK was the only fighting series for a long time that even had any kind of real backstory.

Imo, this video showcases whats wrong with MK's animation philosophy.
Edit:
And this runner up video is also golden XD

The gore in the fatalities is what makes them Mortal Kombat, but i'd be fine if they shortened them up.
The fatalities in MK2 were awesome, but were like 2-4 seconds max lol. The ones in the recent games i think can sometimes be too long.

If true - meh. 2 of the guest characters are pretty much the same, third one is the same but stupider.

Yeah, quicker "cutscene" stuff including fatalities and the rest of the finishers would be my preference too.
And probably implement some system for at least *some* variation in these cutscenes. They can get too repetitive after a while.

Assuming a base roster of 25 fighters, there's about 2/3rd more to come. We'll wait and see(as if we have any choice)
