I am absolutely ecstatic at what I saw from that trailer. Going back to the roots and basics of MK, while at the same time having what looks to be like a polished in-depth fighting engine? Count me in! This is a very smart attempt at trying to revive the franchise (kind of like what Capcom did with SF4, which was a huge success). I'm a huge MK fan and I cannot wait to see more of this in the near future.

I agree, a Mortal Kombat game that takes all the goodies from MK1 to MK3 and wraps them into the new generation of graphics engine and system may result in the Mortal Kombat game we had been waiting for!
Also that Kung Lao's fatality was brutal! Poor Sub-zero, that's gonna leave a mark. BTW, I am the only one exited at the new 2 vs 2 fight mode? IMPORTANT: Rumors say that the release date of the game could be March 2011, the interesting stuff is that they had been making this game since Warner Brothers Interactive aquired Midway's Mortal Kombat team (Now named Netherrealm Studios) and that was like 5 moths after the release of Mortal Kombat -vs- DC Universe, normally, all previous Mortal Kombat games were bad because they always run out of time while making it and rushed to finish them, if they're taking all this time to make the game, they may be looking to do something really good.

I'm looking forward to playing that mode as well. Partner yourself up with one of your buddies, and maim your opponents. Sounds like a lot of fun.
No, a lot of the previous MK games were bad due to incompetent game testers and focusing too much on gimmicks and not enough on the gameplay.

Mortal Kombat was always about gimmicks over gameplay, wasn't it? As far as I recall, the original Mortal Kombat was popular mostly for the digitized sprites, gore, fatalities, etc, and stayed that way until possibly MK.DA. Gameplay-wise, the fighting system was very elementary compared to, say, the Street Fighter games.

MKDA was probably the best MK for me, since it raised the gameplay bar with two styles and a permanent weapon. Going back to the basics wouldn't be so wise a choice for MK, since the basics are just a few special moves and only the most basic fighting moves...but if they've managed to include various combos of special moves, juggling, etc. then this should be good.
P.S: Didn't Kung Lao have a bunny under his hat? |

The gameplay in this game looks a lot like MK vs DC's, which goes back to the basics while still making the characters very diverse with different normals and customizable combos.

I can say i'm seriously impressed with that trailer. Just going into at first glance and i can't help but think it's just a 3D remake of the original titles , with of course some great new features. Do wonder if the title will be changed eventually, and what it could be.
Also, i have a good feeling we won't be playing Mortal Kombat chess this time around.

You said that Street Fighter has stood the test of time, well, I think Mortal Kombat did it as well since it's the only fighting game not from Japan who has made it this far, and in the Mortal Kombat game sthey do inovate as well, In Mortal Kombat 4 we got ability to drag out weapons, in Deadli Alliance came out the diferent fighting styles, power ups, taunts and parrys, Mortal Kombat Deception brought the stage fatalities and the Breaker plus the Konquest mode, Armagedoon added the aereal kombat, MK-vs- DCU the free fall kombat and the Klose Kombat and here it has been confiremd the new "X-RAY, damage" So?

Anything that abruptly stops the flow of a match is not good and needs to be avoided in order for MK to be taken more seriously. Stage fatalities I more than welcome, but only after the match is over.

Hmm? Most characters in Street Fighter play differently. That's why you have people in tourneys who play with only a few characters that they've had a lot of practice with. The Mortal Kombat series, until DA, barely had any variety between different characters apart from specials. Once you've played one, you've basically played them all. This was the series that once thought it was okay to pass off ten pallete swapped ninjas as individual characters.

New info!!!
Gamespot made an interview to Ed Boon, creator of the Mortal Kombat games and he revealed some cool information:
Interview: http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6265855...es%3Btitle%3B7 Ehmmm... Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sakura? Besides, that was only at the first Mortal Kombats (Mostly 1 & 2) On the newest Mortal Kombats characters fight diferent. Also, we're disscusing a present game, not old Mortal Kombat games. On Deception and Armageddon you were able to "turn off" stage fatalities if you wanted, but in this new Mortal Kombat, stage fatalities are gonna be like in MK2 & MK3, so you can only execute tem when the screen anounces "Finish him!"

That's why I said most. A few SF characters play similarly, but pretty much all MK characters played the same. That's an enormous difference.
