So, I've been playing for about four hours now, and I have to say, it's pretty damn great. The graphics are incredible, but the best thing is that the character movements are so incredibly fluid. The crappy thing is that I've only got one stage and practice mode atm, since for some reason PS4 didn't preload the Aussie versions and I've been having to play while it's loading, though I do have all the characters.

I've tinkered with about 16 characters so far, with Reptile, Takeda and Jacqui being the ones that I have seemed to bond to immediately. I will say though, Takeda is a bit slow, and Jacqui is incredibly fast. So far I'm very impressed with the game. Can't wait to get online when the load is finished.
 
I take "Graphics are incredible" with grain of salt, since MKX is nowhere the greatest games in terms of graphical quality, not in fighting games. But we will see.

The other points I can understand, since game looks damn awesome. It's extremely surprising if I don't see it as the best MK game yet.
 
Also, not sure if this is already known, but Shinnok isn't unlockable. At least, he isn't for me, I have him available in training and in single fight.

I haven't seen story mode since it hasn't dl'ed yet, so I'm going by how they look during the fights. It's pretty impressive, and well, just plain pretty.
 
If it's so great, why would you come back here and post? :)

As soon as I get my hands on my game in four hours, I'm probably gonna be AWOL from this place for a few days.

Lol. I've been playing for four hours straight on just training mode (I only have that and single fight available atm). Been up since 6am. Thought I'd take a break and give my first impressions. :)

Btw, did I miss the Shinnok not being unlockable anymore? I could have sworn he was suppose to be won by completing story mode.

He was available to you straight away? Huh. Maybe they changed that with the day 1 patch.

Graphics aren't all about resolution. It's about how the models work together + lighting + all of the other assets and functions that go into creating a distinctive, collective universe. Mortal Kombat has a fantastic art team, and it shows...whether it's the Avatar of gaming or not is irrelevant.

It's also completely subjective.

I understand what you mean, since I've already praised the quality of animations compared to older titles. Even though lightning etc. effects will / would be top notch, I really can't make an argument for the theory that graphics would be "incredible".

But like I said, I'm not that much of an graphic whore. Gameplay is the most important factor for me and that's all that matters.
 
Wait, MKX we only start out with one stage?
That's kinda funny, lol.
I guess we're going back to the old days and getting stages from the krypt?
That's epic.

I'm assuming he'll be locked after OPs pre-load [via Greyjoy]
Seems that way to me.
Everyone else on youtube who has the game has him locked.

Or is there a day one patch which unlocks him and adds other secrets into game so that early versions of the game couldn't leak everything. Wishful thinking, I know, but a gal can dream...
