One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).
Demo To be Released March 8th PSN
It's also worth noting that this is a different build than the one going to PAX, but probably the same one on the Truck Tour, meaning it's likely not the latest build, let alone the final one. X360 demo is coming "eventually," too. For anyone too lazy to click the link, here's what you get:
I'll be interested to hear the impressions of any PS+ subscribers we have on here in a few days.The demo includes four playable characters: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage and Mileena, along with their Fatalities and X-Ray Attacks; two environments: The Pit and The Living Forest; single player and one-on-one versus modes; and stereoscopic 3D support.

" @Twitchey: Not to sound like a fanboy but it seems MK is favoring ps3, every time i have seen it it been on ps3's and the whole kratos thing . "Yo Warner Bros. and Sony be putting hands in each others pockets all day.
Look at Arkham Asylum as an example.
It's marketing dollars, end of story. Sony kicks some money their way so they have something extra for their platform, or they get to make headlines about having the demo early (and in this case sell PS+ subs). MS tosses money at Bethesda and Activision for the same reasons. It's sometimes easy to forget, but video games are a money making industry, and companies will do what they need to do to make more of it. That rarely turns out good for the fans, though.
Just enrolled in the playstation plus program for the first time. Seems cool, and worth the $18 every 3 months. Getting some free downloadable games, free premium themes, and early access to demo's. Can't wait for Tuesday, I'm going to play the shit out this MK demo. Mortal Kombat releases April 19th, a day after the Gears 3 beta comes out. That's a better combo than Cocaine and porn stars; well, almost.
Also some people extracted files from the demo apparently and based on that...
The demo convinced me to get the game. Seriously awesome. Really fast, easy to understand, and reminds me of MK2 (you know, the good one). I was kicking ass with Johnny Cage in no time. Super impressive to see the game in action. Also, it's a weird thing, but there's no load in between rounds, the person who lost just gets up and the bars refill. It's a small touch, but it makes the game feel really really intense. No break until someone is DEAD.
PSN Plus members only? That's dumb. Hopefully someone puts it online sometime soon so we don't have to wait another week to download it.
i finally understand what jeff and brad are talking about. liked the old 3d games but this one flows really well in terms of combos and fighting mechanics.
also that trailer at the end is so fucking good
Oh shit, the krypt is back! That was the only thing from the pst 2d MK games that I liked. It's just too bad that there are mk 3 characters in it
" @MindChamber said:Boom!" @RE_Player92: 50 dollars to play a demo? lol "You are 26 posts into your life here at Giant Bomb. Stop trolling while you are new. "
Demo is pretty good but some of the commands for the moves are too rigid.
Maybe Marvel's flashiness got to me but it doesn't look all that impressive from a visual standpoint either. I know it's meant to be cheesy but the costumes feel like they dropped out of a kids doodling book.
I dunno if I want to drop a full $60 into this.... Maybe I'll wait for an Amazon sale or something.
The demo comes out for everyone in like a week or 2....so not that big a deal for people that a miffed. Of course, I'd love to play it NOAAAAW.
who are the playable characters? Everyone always has love for MK2 and not 3....MK3 was my favorite, loved the combo system and the ability to charge.
yah because a postcount has any sort of validity in life. It may it yours, but thats your sad problem.
not every opposing statement you encounter is that of a troll
get a grip Mr Giantbomb gold member,
""Akeldama replied to the topic What Xbox 360 games should my girlfriend play? in theXbox 360 board.
"A PS3 and Flower.""
Now hows the troll? haha, get out of my face.
