What does everyone think of the New Mortal Kombat that has been announced. Im kinda excited about it. The trailer looks pretty awesome.

I think Mortal Kombat has been dead. They bastardized it with all those adventure games, trying to cash in on RPGs. They need to do a reboot and come out with a 2D game just like from the beginning. I never really liked MK as it was hard to play and the regular controllers were not conducive to playing it.

By the looks of it, it looks awesome.

The more mindblowing magical speacial moves that you can summon looks exhilerating and awesome. It looks fast and awesome, it also looks cool the way that there are different combos to defeat your opponent.

By watcing the video, I believe that it will have a tag team system, which will be more awesomer. Th Fatalilities looks horrible and exciting.

It might be a game that I might not buy, but it definitely looks awesome.

Bobbynibbles: How is it hard? All you do is spam a special magic attack on your opponent hoping that you can kill him.

People have also been saying that it is the goriest Mortal Kombat ever, So it will be pretty awesome to see some nextgen gore.

I agree with bobby, because they killed it with all spinoffs and crossovers. I don't expect much from this.

I'm a big Mortal Kombat fan and I like some of the recent games like Deception and Deadly Alliance and I think that this game actually is going to be freakin awesome. I've seen the trailer and it looks like a really good MK game.

To me being good in Mortal Kombat is like saying that you're good being cheap in real life. However I do have some hoping for a few things.

One crisp fighting style for each character, seriously I'm still appalled how there were 87 characters in Armageddeon and most of the characters still had three fighting style.

No training for the conquest mode, seriously why anyone would do some sort of training course for the conquest mode of Deception is beyond me. Maybe the same style conquest mode like they did in Armageddeon.

And keep the character number low, Id say the characters from the first two Mortal Kombat games, since most of the rosters from the third game were terrible.

iLikeCupcakes : That looks really cool! Actually looking forward to this game more than before . Looks like they are kinda goin back to basics a bit.

I got over Mortal Kombat when Deadly Alliance came out. back in my day scorpion was a ninja who wore yellow on his uniform to show he was from a certain clan. Now he's got chains and armor and 2 swords and crap. It's just not the same.

It looks pretty neat, I personally was more excited about the new Twisted Metal game and Donkey Kong Country Returns. I personally think MK: Armageddon is the best. It has over 63 characters!

Here is all the info out there!

If I have missed anything or if you'd like to make a correction or a rewording please let me know!!!

the new one looks really awsome i want it really bad violence

Looks epic but I hope that more creative fatalites are in this one

Definitely looks better than the Tron game.

looks great ~ kind of retro yet modern at the same time i actually think it looks better than marvel vs capcom 3 TBH ~ definately getting this

Look's fun. I'm happy they're going back to the 2D roots. There's just something I don't like about 3D Fighting games.

I personally look forward to the internal 3d building of the characters! Gonna get gory!

Well they should put Kratos in mortal combat I think think he would be great in the fatality department.

I like the Mortal Kombat games, and the newest one looks promising, but to be honest for the last couple of games I've seen, they just seem to be trying too hard and need to go back to the simple structure of Mortal Kombat. It's called "Mortal Kombat" for a reason, we don't need to have a RPG style to this game, we just need to kick the crap out of each other!
