I've never been that into the characters of Mortal Kombat, but I played a bit of the last one and thought it was great. Hopefully this one's good too.

So, does that trailer imply that weapons will be returning and that this game will have more environmental interaction, a la Injustice?

Either way, I'm looking forward to it after MK9.

As long as it's not as insanely zoomed out as Injustice. Art of Fighting did it right, and holy shit the comment editor isn't linking everything I'm writing to the game link now.

Wow that song just didn't seem to fit but regardless that trailer is fantastic looking. If this isn't gameplay then I really like the trailer for showing what it might look like. If this is actual gameplay then that's absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see more regardless

Hmm.. I was slightly interested until the music kicked in.. I thought some other video was playing in another tab...

I know hip hop and ninjas have a pop culture "connection" but.... I've never really understood the reasoning behind it, other than a very superficial "badassery".... in my eyes, it's a shallow western free association cultural prostitution... and no amount of attitude will change my mind.

Game looks like expected.. I guess.

Haha, that was one hell of a late night show. Dave Lang and Ed Boon should be secret characters in MK X.

this is where it gets interesting, will they tackle Mk 4, 5 ,6, 7 and streamline and focus on those stories?. or is this where they completely spin off with their new timeline and introduce new characters and completely disregard the storylines in those games?

very very excited to see more, Mk9 was easily the best mortal kombat in a good long while (and thats amazing that the 9th game in a series could be considered the best)

Pretty sure this is prerendered to look like gameplay, and the music choice was pretty dope. I thought it fit alright.

I was totally okay with the music until Wiz Khalifa came in. Could they have picked a worse rapper to represent MK? I mean, was Riff Raff unavailable?

Why did they put a wimpy-ass rap song on their announcement trailer? Otherwise looks good.

i like the idea of a rap song playing on a MK trailer, but the song definitely needed more punch. (get it?) something like kendrick lamars - look out for detox would've been good.

Can't wait. I should probably just get Injustice in the meantime.

I almost never watch trailers but as an old fan of the series and especially after the stellar 9 and the questions since then, how could you NOT click this.

Even just the sound of "MK X" seems crazy, I mean holy shit how time flies.

MK kind of invented its brand of dumb/awesome back in the day. And it excelled at it. Being in the arcade and seeing fatalities for the first time... there just had never been anything like that and it was all kinds of awesome. The weird in-jokes, secrets, playful/absurd stuff as the games went on was always so refreshing and fun... even if the games they were in progressively became less so. 9 was such a solid reinvention that i'm super curious where they go.

But it's a pretty safe trailer all things considered. This is a sequel to 9, make no mistake. But the fight was paced well, it's visually impressive, and they use what might otherwise be tired characters in a cool way, showing diverse moves. We clearly see X-ray moves are returning, and as others pointed out possible environmental interaction and weapons. The song surprised me but I think it works well.

So should this be read as "ex" as in the letter X, or 10 as Roman numeral X? Is this FFX all over again?

Hopefully they continue building on the awesome single player stuff from last time, and can somehow make it a more interesting competitive game as well. I didn't much enjoy MK9 competitively last time, but I think Injustice was quite a bit better. So let's see if they apply those lessons here.

Looks pretty dope, interested in seeing if the environment stuff will actually be in game. Seems like its something that would detract if not done well.
