Yup, they've absolutely nailed the aesthetic and personality.

The trailer reminded me of this…

 

[GrayDock]

The side shifting throws are awesome.

 

[Hookshot]

The Fatality is awesome and he looks fun but that move where he morphs through them would kill anyone instantly. Also what's with the granny? Just a kameo for that bar stage?

 

[NeverYouMind]

Man, Madam Bo is giving me mad Kung Fu Hustle vibes. It irks me that the characters that interest me the most in this entry are relegated to assists.

She's a story character for the scenes that take place in the bar area.

 

[Robot Carnival]

that's really cool. definitely captured the feel of the original, and that fatality is just perfect.

a little off topic, but who's the grandma who's helping T-1000 kicking ass? I'm not that into the MK series. is she supposed to be a parady of the landlady from Kung Fu Hustle?

 

[Xaeroxcore666]

The liquid metal looks better than the T2 CGI original?

 

[CliffBronger]

This looks fantastic.
I will be playing day 1.

I don't know why, but for some reason this game just doesn't grab me at all. I loved 11, X, and MK, but nothing about this one appeals thus far. Something about the art style and the world, it's just not dark and spooky enough, which is what Mortal Kombat's always been about for me.

 

[gamer82]

This is a better choice of guest character as opposed to conan he just looked so boring, i have the game but never really got into it much. it would be cool if they brought in robocop hope they make a game where the bring back all the guest characters and add some more if injustice is no longer a thing.

 

[Spukc]

Fuck me wow

 

[Danjin44]

I'm curious how x-ray attacks does against him since he has no bone, it just liquid metal.

 

[Doczu]

God damn this one has the T-1000, the previous MK had the 800. Fuck, missed opportunity for a good fun robo match with great prevmatch shit talk.

 

[Puscifer]

This makes me want to fire up Terminator 2 again

 

[Danjin44]

All for that matter how the hell fatality is gonna look for him? they can tear his head off or something but the guy just liquid metal.

Are they just gonna ignore all of that and give him flesh and blood like everyone else during fatality cutscenes?

I think it would be lit if they let you do you it but there's a hand coming out of it scene afterwards.

The MK1 sound design always bugged me

It sounds like they took the impact effects and just cranked them up to 100% in the sound editor, like they dialed everything up to max under "effects" and left little room for anything else

It sounds terrible

 

[MMaRsu]

It looks dope as hell I just wish he was in a better Mortal Kombat game instead

 

[Black_Stride]

Yup, they've absolutely nailed the aesthetic and personality.

The trailer reminded me of this…

Reminds me of this movie from 1991.

 

[DryvBy]

In case anyone was wonder, the T-1000 is a mimetic polyalloy... liquid metal.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Reminds me of this movie from 1991.

Hence why I said they nailed it.

My point was that VF3 (or at least the tech demo) was the first use of this technique in a game, a fighting game even.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Looks so damn cool, just like the other DLC characters in the recent games. I just wish the game itself was better. Hard to be excited as a result.

I thought the exact same thing, have not picked Mortal Kombat 1 up, yet have all the others and love. I put it down to the fact that this entry looks a little too gamey rather than dark and gritty.

Someone explain this illogical logic to me.

Robert Patrick is a national treasure. Did you see him in Peacemaker? He's great!

Are you trying to imply that Mark Zuckerberg has no soul?
