Mortal Kombat X Impressions: New-Gen Doesn’t Just Apply to This Game’s Visuals | Nerdacy

Nerdacy: "WB Games was at E3 2014 showing off NetherRealm’s Mortal Kombat X–yes, “X” as in the Roman numeral 10–which simply put, was stunning. Mortal Kombat X takes place several years after Mortal Kombat 9, which means that many of those iconic characters from the past will not be playable in this installment, but that also means there is room for a new generation of characters."

As long as sub - zero and scorpion are in it.....SOLD!

KonsoruMasuta4032d ago (Edited 4032d ago )

And Mileena.

I'll be pissed if there is no Mileena.

Omegasyde4032d ago

I think a majority of the MK characters are eternal or age very slowly.

Since Mileena is a clone of Kitana, and Kitana is I think 1000 years old - I can see her being in the game.

reference:
http://mortalkombat.wikia.c...

The only downside is that People like Sonya, Johny Cage, Lui Kang, and other earth hero's may be in the retirement "age".

My predicted Roster

Kitanna
Melina
Sub zero
Scorpion
Ermac
Cyrax/Sector (I think there will only be one)
Reptile
Shang Tsung/Quan Chi

Maybe: Noob saibot, Smoke, Jade, Nightwolf. I am 100% sure nightwolf is going to be zombie.

I think Reiko, Fujin, Shinook, Cyborg Jarek (Mk4), Scarlet, and kira will make it too.

Heavenly King4032d ago

I dont see the graphics to be that next-gen really. GGXrd impressed me more.

XtraTrstrL4032d ago

Gameplay graphics don't look next gen at all. It looks like the PS3-PS4 upgrade of Injustice: Gods Among Us. That also shares the same game engine as far as I know.

robtion4032d ago

I agree. From what I have seen so far the graphics are not much of an improvement over injustice ps4.

Still should be a fun game, I just hope there is a control option to have block on the dpad and not on a button as I have never liked that about MK. Seems dated to me.

Omegasyde4032d ago

Injustice ps4 was abit of a let down. Even the cutscreens were low rez (not 1080p).

Add on that fact that the game did not include all the content promised, as you still had to play that stupid iPhone game to unlock costumes for the console version.

robtion4032d ago

@Omegasyde: I agree. Great game but a very bare bones port. I have it on ps3, ps4, and vita and there is barely any difference between the ps3/ps4 versions, as opposed to the ps4 version of Tomb Raider which is a massive visual upgrade.

My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante4032d ago

The game is going to be Soul Caliber 5'd. It will get rid of characters that people want in order to flood the game with a bunch of new characters that most people likely won't even care about. Throw in the lame environmental mechanics from Injustice and it's obvious that this isn't a Mortal Kombat game. It's just going to be Injustice X with a few MK characters thrown in.

N84032d ago

I'm glad you played it first are there any new fatalities in it?

LOGICWINS4032d ago

I've been playing MK since MK2 and this is the most excited I've been for one pre-release.

All the new characters we've seen so far look very entertaining to use.

BVFTW4032d ago (Edited 4032d ago )

Yeah, the game has the mk2 vibe all over it, more colors, alien (outworld) stages and cool character designs.

BVFTW4032d ago

Go home Donte, you're drunk!

Omegasyde4032d ago

I think we will get some other characters from MK Deadly alliance and Deception as well.

You have to factor in that most of the Mk cast are actually eternal or age slowly (kitana and Sindell are ancient, Subzero is a lineage of ninja, scorpion/noob/ermac are specters. )

marioJP874032d ago

Next gen doesn't apply to the graphics either.

spunkee3114032d ago

I was very very impressed with the last MK for PS3/360. I'm glad that they are now deciding to evolve and progress the series a bit. The last game was a nostalgia trip for the fans that supported the series over the years. Didn't even introduce a new character. Now the team knows its time to move, and everything I am seeing I am impressed with.

Storm231368d ago

Cool. Wanted to play Hell Let Loose and I always enjoy a good golf game. Mortal Kombat X should have been 11 IMO though.

NoFanBoy1368d ago

HLL seems a bit of a mess on console, I hope it improves but didn't have fun with the beta.

EvertonFC1368d ago

Same was looking fwd to the beta but it was not a great experience

1nsomniac1368d ago

Yea HLL is great on PC but is really hard to enjoy currently on console.

NeoGamer2321368d ago

Ya, I really wanted to play PGA 2K21 but didn't want to pay the price.

Eonjay1368d ago

Agreed. MKX should have been 11. I will play PGA though. Haven't played since Tiger Woods. This month feels lacking.

Ashunderfire861368d 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.

Profchaos1368d 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.

BrainSyphoned1368d ago

At least twice this year they have double dipped into PS Now games as well.

Christopher1368d 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.

jznrpg1368d ago

Fine with me I don’t sub to PS now

ocelot071368d 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 Butt1368d 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 gameAr1368d 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.

Profchaos1368d ago

Lee carvello: may I suggest a putter
You have chosen driver.

CorndogBurglar1367d ago

You win for your Simpsons reference.

BLow1368d ago

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

Ozzy24071367d ago

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

TheExecutioner1367d ago (Edited 1367d ago )

Not every one have ps+ collection

When u will stop thinking like a child

Knushwood Butt1367d ago

Update

Japan gets Castlevania Requiem instead of MKX

Not crap then!

kneon1368d ago

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

lipton1011362d ago

Really? They’re all legit good games

kneon1362d 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

SurgicalMenace1367d ago

You know when you actually buy your games you wouldn't be so ungrateful for the free ones. Just a thought.

LiViNgLeGaCY1367d 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.

SurgicalMenace1367d 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?🤷🏾‍♂️

1367d ago
LiViNgLeGaCY1366d 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)

SurgicalMenace1366d ago

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

Pocahontas1362d ago

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

RedDevils1367d 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.

Ozzy24071367d ago

Because the PS+Collection is only for PS5 owners which majority of playstation owners don't have

KyRo1368d ago (Edited 1368d 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.

SurgicalMenace1367d 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?🤔

KyRo1367d ago (Edited 1367d 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.

SurgicalMenace1367d ago (Edited 1367d 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.🤣

1367d ago
Kurt Russell1367d 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.

KyRo1367d 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.

outsider16241368d 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.

NoFanBoy1368d 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-vegeta1368d ago

Thry are aware.They made a post yesterday

FPS_D3TH1367d ago

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