So... i was left with a huge grin on my face at the end of the trailer when they tease Kung Lao's fatality. Graphics look good, stages look good... hell everything looks pretty cool. I'm a little bummed that it's the old look and feel, but I'll get over it when i start seeing some fatalities :P
 
Sub Zero new move with a ice sword (looked like a normal special move) looked cool. And man I really like the stages
 
Oh and tag team battles, dunno how to feal about that, but ok :D

characters I spotted in the trailer:
 
Shao Khan
Raiden
Johnny Cage
Sub Zero
Nightwolf
Reptile
Kitana
Kung Lao
Cyrax (was he the red one?)

Looks pretty cool game play wise but I don't know...graphically it just doesn't excite me.  It looks very functional.  It's only a trailer through so my views will probably change over time.

yay

Nice to see it's going back to being brutal. Hopefully they will do something again (or revamp) on the Shaolin Monks game. Apart from the stupid boss fight with Goro & the rest at the end, I found it quite fun & a great way to expand on the MK universe, now wondering with the 4 player co-op/mp in Crackdown how that tech could be put into some MK game like Shaolin Monks.

Now THAT is MK
none of that real world catering bullshit
 
Except this trailer is kinda lacking in the blood department for some reason.

Looks pretty fucking sweeet.

So, that is what the live action trailer was for? 
 
Nice.

I was geniuenly saying "holy shit" with some of those fatalities.  
 
MK is coming back!

mileena yay i hope is as good as mortal kombat 2

Maybe the whole MK thing has passed me by, but that looks really lame. I was hoping the game would be in the same style as that teaser movie, but it just looks like they are just SF4izing the old MK games.

Punching a dudes face off... SOLD!

Looks kinda old like the other 3D MKs. I don't like the clean style and the stiff animations seem to be taken straight out of he last games. They should've gone further and made it much more darker, dirtier and grittier.

" Punching a dudes face off... SOLD! "

I was sold at the "deepest story mode of any fighting game ever" point

" @trophyhunter: The MK vs. DC story was pretty good for a fighting game. "

I like the "old look and feel."  MKII was by far the best in the MK series; it was just tight all around.  If they can get that feeling back then it would be most excellent.

" Now THAT is MK none of that real world catering bullshit  Except this trailer is kinda lacking in the blood department for some reason. "

Looks pretty good. Obviously influenced by SFIV (Boon is a big fan). I guess they realised that they'll never get MK fully down in 3D so they just went back to 2D. I'm also glad to see that gameplay is the biggest priority other than having an inconic roster or stage gimmicks. 
 
I also like the way those moves cancelled (its why I'm an EX fan). I hope that they're more liberal with cancelling than they were with MKvDC. I like being able to make my own elaborate combos. Makes me feel like I'm cheating the game (even though I'm obviously not). If they can make comboing both accessible and rewarding then I'm sold. 
 
One thing I'll like to see is the characters having actual personalties in the fights themselves. I want them to say stuff. Sounds like a nitpick, but it would make a huge difference on the tone of the series.

Would this be a good first fighting game for somebody? I know it's not out yet, but I know people say Street Fighter IV is insanely hard.

That actually looks shockingly good.

watching the trailer again, i wonder if those dynamic camera angles will actually happen during the fight, or if it will be stuck in a 2d frame. I dont mean character movement, I mean those crazy camera angles you see in the trailer on some moves

Dear Jesus, William, Mary, Zeus, Odin, and any one above....
*Drools*.....
And that ladies and gentlemen is what Mortal Kombat should look like.
Gonna Be the tits

Looks fun, unlike the last few mortal kombat games which were lousy and low polygon blocky stupid combos 3d fighting engine trash.

You know... I had to cringe at the fatality they shown at the end.  This looks like it will be a fun game though.  I have to say, the Mortal Kombat Series has always had a special place in my heart, and I would love to see a new one that brings back the nostalgia of ripping out your opponents heart.
 
BTW... kinda off Topic.  The Short movie kind of made me sad...  I really wish that instead of the man in the shadows being Scorpion... it was Kano.  It would have made more sense in my mind... and seeing the red eye light up in the shadows would have been a far better scene.

I thought MKvDC was an alright game for several hours. I'm not sure how I feel about this one.

Aww yeah.

Didn't think it was possible to be excited about an MK game again, but I am. Can't wait to see more of this.

This gets me psyched. I'm a big fan of the 2D versions of the games. The 3D weren't quite the same for me at least.  Combining the two just might push it over the edge of awesome
