    I'm sure none of you remember that MKX was set to appear on the PS3 and Xbox 360... Well it's been cancelled...

    “After months of development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has come to the regrettable conclusion that we cannot release Mortal Kombat X for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Please know our teams worked diligently to meet the quality standards set by the current-gen versions of the game,” the publisher’s announcement states. “We were not able to get [these] versions to the quality expected of a Mortal Kombat game and are very sorry for not being able to deliver the products as originally planned.”

    I don't know if anyone has really been waiting on their last gen copies, but if you're out there, I'm sorry.

    And thread titles should be longer. I had a way funnier title in mind.

    I'll assume this means the ps4/x1/PC sold enough that the ps3/360 versions wouldn't really move the needle much?

    Took me a minute to realize what the title meant "They finished it? But they said they canceled it!... Ohhhhhhhhhh... Haha, wordplay"

    Well, hopefully that doesn't upset too many people or anything, though yeah, kind of seemed like it was never going to come out for the older gen anyways.

    Weird, MK X made a lot of upgrades, but I figured most of it could be done on the other consoles (just downgrade the graphics and lose the body-ripping tech). 9 ran just fine and this one seemed like a subtle tweak on the gameplay side.

    Well, at least now we know we all bought a true current-gen game. Now if I could only find a time to start that story mode....

    WB got over their desire to put those versions out.

    @zolroyce: I honestly didn't get the word play until you pointed it out but now I get it. Clever, very clever indeed poster.

    @viciousbearmauling What was this fabled longer title?

    I think they didn't want to invest the resources in the previous gen that has quickly become obsolete, faster than I anticipated

    I always found it hard to believe they could port it.

    Remember hearing Ed Boon talk about the complexity of the fatality animations and I was thinking they'd need to rebuild it (different) ground up for last gen.

    @freezyfrog: I forget it exactly but it was something about WB and easy fatality DLC.
