One new previously unknown bit was revealed. There will be a system of <b>respect points</b> in the multiplayer mode of the game. It sounded that other players spectating your fight can reward you <b>respect</b> for doing well, etc. These points will work towards Achievements and Trophies along with other things, Ed said.

Gamespot now has the video <a href="http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6266626/?tag=top_stories%3Btitle%3B7#toggle_video">available online</a> you can also view <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1K0MfJcMBY&feature=youtube_gdata">our YouTube stream of the gameplay</a>.

Is John Edwards that guy that in MKSM said if you killed him and luhp (or Puhl, something like that) that you would get 10,000,000 points?
 
Well that looks VERY promising. I'm guessing that the X-ray moves will be akin supers in SF; namely blockable. If it was mentioned, sorry, I watched the vids without audio.

Are they using UE3 again?
 
I had to shut them up, too. I watched the video so it doesn't need to be explained.
 
The video looks Excellent with only little things I notice from Mk vs DC, that is Subzero;s pose looks Identical, Also first round when scorpion wins subzero gets up the same way he did in MKvs DC which is fine but scorpion gets up the same way when he loses the next match. Hopefully they will not miss that and make them very unique. Right now there intros are very Unique and cool. Heres hoping the finish product will get a straight 10 and beat street fighter.

Holy crap. This is going to be the best game of 2011, especially if Team MK is as active with the DLC as Capcom is with Street Fighter.

Anyone who has complaints about the game play and graphics at this point is a damn fool.
 
Pat you are the freaking man! i know you're on a roll right now, so i was wondering if you could get your hands on the early build for me. i can pick it up whenever it's convenient for you. i believe in you! hahaha thanks mang!!!
 
you guys need to download the raw video with steady frame rate from gamespot its about 660mb, your eyes will bleed after playing that video on your ps3 :)
 
yes please friend. Do provide a download link as streaming is not good for us here...thx a lot for your patience, hard work and dedication!
