I really liked Injustice, and it made me want to go back and play MK9. But now I think I'll just wait for this instead. Haven't played a Mortal Kombat since UMK3. Trust me, if you liked Injustice, you WANT MK9. Speaking as somebody who was a big enough fan to write about all the other games, MK9 makes all the other ones look like crap. I'd recommend the PC version if it goes on sale, but the online on that particular port is kind of buggy, as a warning. I should've bought MK9 when it was on sale for like $7 or something. I'm sure it'll be on sale again before MK10 comes out. Guess what game is on Steam Sale for this week? store.steampowered.com/sale/wb_mm_mkk

Well dang. From what everyone else says too the online is pretty bad...I think I would prefer to get it on PS3 just so I could have a somewhat alright experience playing online.

Thanks for the heads-up. It's not the first time they are on sale but I think the timing is not a coincidence, with the release of that trailer. Unsurprisingly, both games are among the top sales right now.

Yeah, MK9 was a total trainwreck online on the 360. Constant connection issues.

Gameplay footage! Let's talk about the highlights.
- Five characters shown! Scorpion, Sub-Zero, a midget/child on a big guy's back (Reminds me a lot of Goh & Gillius from Golden Axe), a bee lady ninja, and an Aztec guy. - Scorpion is shown with and without his swords, and Sub-Zero sometimes has an ice mask. The multiple characters thing they mentioned, maybe? - Sub-Zero breaks into a run at one point. Maybe they're getting rid of the SF4-style dash? - Interactibles return from Injustice. Boon says they can be blocked. - Fataltiies: HELLA nasty.

Looks pretty good so far. More of the same, essentially, but that's fine when you're going four years between iterations. I just pray that the Achievements are more reasonable this time around. My Kung Fu is Stronger was total bullshit.

I wanted the midget so badly to say "WHO RUN BARTERTOWN?"

They had issues, (mainly since they couldn't be blocked) but I thought they were a cool idea that worked a lot better than simular ideas worked in other games. Also, you can probably turn them off, anyway, since you could in Injustice.

More E3 details!
* Takes place 25 years after Mortal Kombat 9 * Lots of new characters. There will be returning characters too and they're aged, of course * Main villain will be "A returning character who no one will expect" * Multiple versions of each characters with different special moves * New character confirmed: Cassie Cage, the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade! * Other characters have names now: Bee-lady is D’Vorah, Masterblaster team are Ferra and Tor and the Aztec guy is Kotal Kahn (Maybe a son of Shao Kahn?)

Nice. I'm fine with them aging the cast and adding a bunch of new people. It's always a risk to make a big change like this, but I think it could really work this time for MK.
