Was hoping for a new art direction, looks good though and I'm glad its 2D again (except for fatalities apparently, which is fine). I see some old levels in there which is awesome.

I just wish they'd have better animations. Still this is looking rather good. I hope the movie receives the go ahead to from WB!

Where is Scorpion????

Badass reminds me a lot of the glory MK days!!

Will probably be a great choice for everyone who rather plays a horrible fighting game with alot of gore, than a good one without.

In other words: Will probably sell great in USA, like the previous games have done...

Finish Him!!!

Totally agree, where is he??? It´s obligatory to have him in the trailer.

Anyway, could be a really interesting MK game. As people have already said, the animations don´t look that good but the 2D approach looks sweet.

Holy cow, that lettering in the logo looks soooo boring.

Reminds me of the old MK games and that is, to say the least, a HUGE plus. Then again i know the gameplay will be broken and shitty so i'll just stick with Tekken for now :)

Characters' moves don't look very fluid. Could do much better in the animations department. I'd rather have Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the Arcade =D

this looks like classic MK in every way but the graphics, which is a very, very, very good thing.

Well, well, well... I thought MK was basically buried but it's always nice to see a comeback. I just hope that it will be nothing like the last installment. This one still doesn't match the fast pace and ferocity of the 2D games. Gotta admit that the only MK in 3D that I liked was Shaolin Monks. But at least the characters don't look so weirdly bulky like before. Or maybe I should wait with saying that after seeing Sonya. She has suffered a lot on her looks after MK3.
And why do they call it just Mortal Kombat? There already has been one, the first.

seen the footage.. looks pretty meh to me.

I'd like to see digital actors used again.. 2D high rez ones with flawless animation

I second that idea. Haven't even heard anyone saying that before. Would be interesting, although it might just have a value to the old-timers. I suppose that 2D in the mainstream games is pretty much dead. Maybe if someone would amateur-make some unrelated project...

oh my...lol. gameplay looks just as rubbish as it's always been. MK doesnt just need a new coat of paint. it needs a new approach to the combat. at the very least give us some decent animations. old MK games where limited by the tech and the menthod of creating their characters (photographic still frames) so why in gods name do we still get that clunky "missing frames" animation on a system 3 generations on. they need to get with the times. maybe then the MK name would have more relevance today then it currently does.

Y'know, this looks like what they should have done instead of MK vs DC. You notice that it is the exact same tech with many of the same models, but none of DC extras and all the sacrifices they had to make to get them. Low and behold, it looks and feels significantly better because it suddenly feels true to its roots again.

Whether or not this change will be able to save the series, we will just have to wait and see. :p

The MK series is as it is because the only reason people play it is the blood and gore. The game is an imbalanced stack of shitty design choices through and through and well...let's just say that poor animation is the least of my worries when it comes to this title :)

I can't wait until they release a demo and also to see how many people would say they'd like to get this game. So far it looks just like the previous games in almost every way so I suppose I'll pass and wait if they nail it the next time.

Return to form, it seems!

Interested! It looks nice.

ladies and gentlemen MK IS BACK

its not a good game but its my cup of tea, day on purchase^^

I saw the trailer on kotaku yesterday, have to say it's got me rather excited and don't look half bad. This is the MK we've kinda been waiting for, none of us played it for uber balance or in depth combat, we played it for fun and brutal fatalities, the spinny hat in ground drag at the end makes me cringe.
