It's probably CGI, so not gameplay, and unless improvised environmental weapons/attacks are a new system it doesn't show any new systems. Sub-Zero looks like a Zombie (which makes no sense, as he's a cyborg in the new timeline), but the trailer may just be "Ooh shiny!" rather than "Here's the plot!".

Either way, more MK! Here's hoping tag mode stays in.

I asked. It's not "gameplay" but it is in engine.


Expect to see a lot of "reveals" this week though, as next is E3.

In-engine? Wow.

Yeah, definitely in engine. Looks great.

I really hope they sort the online netcode, that was the only thing that held the last one back.

Well since it's XB1, PS4, and PC only...yeah, you don't have to worry much about the netcode.

They better have that one fatality with smoke that blows up the entire planet. I loved that.

:kracks-knuckles:

Dude... I'm stoked!

I've never been a huge fan of fighting games, but I'll definitely keep an eye on this one. I did enjoy Injustice, and it was made by the same people...I think

Watch dogs was also "in-engine"

Now it looks like ass.

On what system? Cause it looks pretty damn fine on my XB1.

Indeed it was...and keep an eye peeled at E3 for some more InJustice news.

Doesn't look like the E3 trailer. That trailer was a bullshot.

Oh definitely...but UbiSoft is notorious for that. Hell they also tend to feature "gameplay demos" at E3 which aren't even in the final game.

Nether Realms doesn't generally do that.

"next gen" is a fething joke.

The reason nether realms doesn't do that stuff is because a fighting game can't have gakky FPS or it will be completely unplayable.

Oh right, you're a PC goon. Never mind.

So yeah, E3 is where you'll find the next batch of info.

For what its worth, improvised / environmental attacks are a fairly big thing in Injustice, so it isn't massively unlikely that they'd pull them through and improve on them for Mortal Kombat.

Feth me...I've been waiting for this game, and it's going to XBone and PS4...XBone, here I come. I'll buy the system when this game hits. Not before. I'm super stoked about the follow up to MK9. Less stoked about needing a new system to play it.

Commenting on FPS issues in relation to a fighting game has nothing to do with being a PC goon.

Fighting games need stable 60 FPS to be playable because everything is determined by input speed/lag and frame durations of moves, recoveries etc. If these are inconsistent the game is objectively bad.

To be fair, though, if you want stable high FPS, you want a PC.

Yes. I dwell among the rest of my master race kin while you shuffle about in your sub-900p 30fps console squalor.

I found out I can't play my old 360 games on the XBone. As a big "feth you" to Microsoft, I'll be buying MK10 with a PS4.

You can't play your old PS3 games on your PS4 either.

From what I understand, you can play some but you basically have to "redeem" the game via the PSN store and it's a really short list of games.

Only very few games that had PS3 and launch PS4 versions. it was basically a way to let you upgrade to the PS4 version by buying the PS3 digital version and later taking a $10 fee to upgrade once you got a PS4. IIRC, the only games that used it were Battlefield 4, Black Flag and Injustice, because they were the only launch games that had PS3 releases earlier. It was open to any publisher, but the list of games that could actually take advantage of it wasn't that big.

It wasn't really about playing your PS3 games on the PS4, it was simply an upgrade system.

Playing your PS3 (or PS1, PS2, PSP or Vita) games on your PS4 is going to be handled by Now. If you have a beefy internet connection.

Exactly. I don't have a PS3!

I see the characters' absurd ability to ignore crippling damage is as consistent as usual.

Delightful.

Yup... that's what happened when I bought the latest Call of Duty on PS3. That Xmas, got the PS4 and paid $10 to play that PS3 game.

Speaking of MK... this is hysterical. Mortal Kombat Fighters are jerks!

That was something else entirely.

PlayStation Now is the new streaming service that I was referring to.

Well... gak. I ought to stop streaming Netflix and playing Second Son to check that out.

And none of those things are the same as backwards compatibility.
