It´s part of being a gamer, true. Totally agree. Of course developers will move on, and so will everyone so that they get to play that game they so dearly want to. Like a lot of people have already said in this thread, the issue is not about last gen - next gen war or being arrogant, selfish, etc.

Mortal Kombat X was announced for PS3 and Xbox 360. People have every right to ask for if not the product, at least information about it. And it´s not "whining" like some others state, we simply deserve to know the situation regarding a game that was officially announced. Peolple would react the same way if a next gen game was announced and then forgotten.

At the end of the day, all parties involved made a commitment to have the game out for previous gen and current gen. If there were no promises for a previous gen port from the get go, then of course there should be no one complaining.

But the fact of the matter is they did. I don't think anyone here is arguing to keep previous gen supported for years to come, people are just upset that they might not get what was promised to them, which is definitely reasonable.

Yup, but as per usual, every site that has a comments section tends to have a troll, and [MENTION=12345]Tarkatan Trash[/MENTION] is this site's troll.
I've learned to stop taking his troll bait.

I get that 100%, but as I also said before:

The main issue, though, is the delay on last-gen, and for all we know that could actually be High Voltage's fault.
People are quick to blame NRS, but how do we know that NRS didn't give it to High Voltage to port it, and THEY are the ones that are taking long with it?

People are quick to point the finger at NRS, but NRS said since day 1 (Boon at E3 2014) that they aren't handling the ports.
That's high voltage.
The ones that people in this thread should be upset with should be WB, and not NRS.

So not NRS, but High Voltage, WB or whoever. Regardless, it unfortunately doesn't change the fact.

Agreed, but it does shift the blame.
If WB gave it to High Voltage to port over and High Voltage are the ones delaying it, then High Voltage are to blame.
If WB DIDN'T give it to High Voltage to port over and WB are the ones delaying it, then WB are the ones to blame.
Again, I agree that it doesn't change the fact and that WB should release some sort of statement, as not to keep people in the dark.

Apparently, you consider me spelling out that the previous generation consoles are entitled to MKX ports because WB confirmed MKX to be cross-generation on Day One to be "bait".

That had nothing to do with my previous statement which you quoted, so yes, it's troll bait.

Again, I'm not saying that people should only game on next-gen, nor am I looking down on anyone with a last-gen console.
On the contrary.
What I am saying, though, is that developers also have to move forward, and they will.

All I mentioned is that developers have to move on.
I never argued against WB saying that they promised ports nor denied that they promised ports, which is what you replied with.
You're trying to argue something else that's completely irrelevant to what I was saying in the first place.

How do I know your initial post didn't mean the previous generation ports of MKX should be cancelled? That's effectively what's been implied by several users the last 2 or 3 pages.

Because my initial post (in which I wrote that) I wasn't quoting anyone else and I even specifically opened that post saying:

I understand 100% where people are coming with, as far as either financial reasons or just wanting to keep the old consoles (PS3 and 360), and I can see that side of the coin and I agree with those that want to stay with their old systems.

You apparently skipped over that part and interpreted what you made up in your head, without fully reading, though.
I was talking about being able to see both sides of the coin, when you decided to turn that against me with a failed troll attempt that had nothing to do with what I was even saying:

WB did explicitly announce that the previous generation consoles would get a port of MKX, and major retailers are even accepting preorders for it. If they don't honor it, it's False Advertising.

I never said that WB didn't promise that, and that statement has nothing to do with what I was talking about.

Good! We don't need your attitude here, but you STILL owe [MENTION=23006]ZombieFanatic[/MENTION] and [MENTION=18045]MitsuharuSan[/MENTION] an apology for your condescending attitude towards them...and by the way, I can and will be using this incident against you in the future in public should you EVER display this attitude again!

Word!.... [MENTION=12345]Tarkatan Trash[/MENTION].... Thank you btw
 
I'm surprised no fan sued WB yet. 14 months without any footage (since E3) and almost any update (the little info they gave can barely count) and an official (new) release date. Not even 4 months after current gen's launch. It's been delayed what? Two or three times? It really is absurd. I don't think there is a case similar to this. Even Duke Nukem Forever had more updates/coverage than last-gen MKX. We all know WB can't cancel it at this point, because that would be their final nail in the coffin, but I'm still amazed they got away with it.

As for who's to blame... My opinion: 60% WB, 30% NRS, 10% HVS.

Either way, I think we all agree that the issue here is not last-gen gaming in general, but a single product that was promised from the start. It's obvious last-gen can't be supported forever and it's time to move on. I can see it being supported for one more year, but that's about it.
 
They haven't gotten away with it, there is plenty of outrage and frustration amongst the MK Forums and Facebook pages, I can only imagine how much anger there is worldwide for those Who Can't or Aren't Expressing their Feelings online.

The problem is NO ONE has the POWER to do ANYTHING about it...yet. I mean, Can the average person who's not loaded with money Really Afford to Sue a Huge Company like WB for just ONE $80 AUD game that hasn't been Officially Cancelled but has just been MASSIVELY Delayed? I know I sure as hell can't.

For the record, we only got our Xbox 360 for the whole family with a Kinect and 3 games for $200AUD as a Christmas Present in 2013. Before that I had a PS VITA for my Batman and MK Fix which was a previous Christmas present from my partner and a PS2 which I bought when I was single way way way back. I know I can't stay with the 360 forever, I will have to update eventually but I will not be updating any real time soon until it is more affordable and more importantly I like others here will NOT be Treated like I'm BENEATH people for 'NOT UPGRADING INSTANTLY' for 2 games at best (Arkham Knight and MKX).

Now back to the topic at hand, IF WB DO Cancel MKX there MAY be enough of a Worldwide Outrage for them to UNCANCEL it or DO Something VERY Generous for the Millions of Last Gen Owners who were PROMISED something that WASN'T Delivered. I think the HATE will be too much for them to Handle and they will have to UNCANCEL it if that is the case. I still have some hope that the Last Gen is still on track but the Silence from WB, NRS and HVS especially the WAY they have ALL handled it seems like a big FU to Last Gen Owners.

We're almost in Spring here in Aus, Fall for the US/UK and Most of the World, I'd say we will be hearing the TRUTH within the next few weeks...
 
The "Outrage" wouldn't even matter to WB. MKX was the best selling game of 2015's first half and that was without the last gen support. This wouldn't be the first time WB has canceled a last gen port.
 
IMO the game is going to have all the DLC in it or, or they just will cancel this last gen version. I see them cancelling it. I have no problem with this because I'm getting a xbox one this October anyways.
 
You got that List of Games WB has cancelled?

Because I doubt they are as Popular and as Successful as MK. Arkham Knight is probably the biggest Disappointment for Last Gen owners that's Not MKX BUT it was NEVER PROMISED in the first place so they dodged a Bullet there. Mad Max is the One I know of and that was An Australian Movie Series with a Very Small Market that non English speaking international gamers wouldn’t really care about. It sure as Hell ISN’T The International Phenomenon that MK is.

If they are this Successful on Next Gen, imagine the MONEY they will LOSE Worldwide for not catering to ALL their Consumers NOT Just amongst the Middle to Upperclass in 1st World Countries???

It would be a MONUMENTALLY DUMB decision if that's the case and the Hate they get WILL PHASE Them Massively Believe Me.
 
They also cancelled Dying Light for last gen. A game that was "promised"


Losing last gen support wont hurt them at all. Why would it? The people who are angered by their potential decision aren't even on WB's radar. And do you think that when those people finally make the leap to current gen, that they'll boycott some of the best Triple A titles out there? WB has nothing to worry about.
 
If you don't have anything to say about the previous generation ports that SUPPORTS their release, then get the hell off of this thread.

This isn't a perfect world. Sometimes promises aren't kept. Yeah, it sucks. What should you do? React, whine, mope, rant, complain, whatever, then move the hell on with your life.

I don't think ONE possibly cancelled game is going to cause extreme ruin for WB. And if people are really going to cause such an outcry over ONE game, I think those people need to check their priorities. There has to be other much more important things to worry about than this one port....
