Anyone else getting MKX on the PC?

How is it cheaper? Unless you mean to acquire the game illegally.

No, I didn't mean that lol.

For me, the Premium Edition (MKX + Goro + Kombat Pack) is £54 to pre-order on Steam. It's £70 on the Xbox One digital store, and £75 without the current price cut.

When a major title is released on both PC and consoles, you can always find the PC version cheaper. Just shop around.

Ah, fair enough. Valve has always been smart about buying in lots of copies and then somehow being able to sell them cheaper on Steam, so I can see why that would be a deal you'd take if you have the PC to run it.

Yeah, Valve are usually pretty good price-wise.

Also, check this out:

Xbox One + PS4 = £41
PC = £26

If you have a top-end PC and like using a controller for it, that's a £15 saving. Not too shabby at all.

I'll be getting it on Xbox One personally, because I don't like playing beat 'em ups on the PC and I have £20 XBL credit.

I do agree with this. I have never seen a console game look better than the PC version. Ever. Even if it was a port. Why would this game be any different. I even tweeted Rigo Cortes about the PC port and he said it is based off of the PS4 and XBOX One textures and models.
Lets not turn this into another stupid pointless console vs pc war. The game is going to be awesome for both of them

Yeah. PC games/versions/ports are almost always superior when it comes to graphics. Plus there are mods ofc. But when it comes to optimization and controls, that's a different story. Lately, in that regard, it's been one fiasco after another. And ironically all consoles games are developed on PC to begin with.
 
No one argued that console games look better. If it is a one-to-one port, by nature of resolution alone the PC would look better. My graphics card in my PC is more powerful than the X1 and PS4 combined.

The argument is that THIS particular title was developed by NRS for PS4 and X1 exclusively. And as lex pointed out, it has been confirmed that the PC port is based off X1 and PS4 assets. The PC is getting a direct port with no special attention paid to it. Keeping in mind that HVS was trying to juggle three ports at once and was forced to delay the PS3 and 360 version just to get the PC version out the door on time.

Some games, like the Witcher 3 get developed for PC first and have eye melting visuals that get pared down for consoles. This is not one of those game. My only point was that you are not going to get some uber version of the game. You are getting a direct port that can run at a higher res. So, TO ME, that is why I want the console version. That and all my friends are playing on PS4.

If I have the choice of the copy that came straight out of NRS hands, or a version that passed through a middle man, I'm taking the product straight from NRS. All things being equal, higher resolution isnt a game changer for me. (especially considering I have 1080p computer monitors anyway)

The PC version may end up being impeccable.

Mods are a completely different story.

We still don't know this yet, can we just wait and see?
I told you already that both MK9 and Injustice look much better on Ultra settings than on both PS3/360. And i am sure that it will be the case here.

I just said that MKX is a next-gen port because ppl from NRS said that PC game is "next-gen" version. Games are being done on PC and then ported to consoles, i am SURE that PC version will have extra settings and visually will be more impressive than PS4/One version, but it's just my guess, my opinion.

Let's wait.
 
Well, PC's "special attention" might and will be (as I think) higher resolutions, therefore, more beautiful game.

Tiny special attention is still attention.
 
im going pc. and ill spar wit you

i dont know why people worry bout the port the games are built on ps and an xbox and a ps4 are basically a pc anyway.

also the pc version is the only version that is not region locked which is what i expect for a next gen game.
especially with the whole faction thing i thought the whole idea behind that was for mortal kombat to be on a global scale, thats how they presented it. so i was shiocked to find out that MKX on consoles is region locked
 
Dammit. I thought NRS was also working on PC version... sigh. First shadow of doubt landed on my expectations. High Voltage doesn't really have good ratings in my book at least. Even so I while risk it and I am definitely gonna get it on PC.

P.S As a modder I hope this time textures will be at least a bit... proper.

Well, in my opinion the port of MK9 was pretty good. Game ran more than fine and was steady. Only gripe would've been low-res cutscenes..

..and of course netcode which was poor but for their defense, so was the ones in PS3 / 360 versions, even though it was 100 % done by NRS.

If you buy the PC version physically on DVD, how and where will you be able to buy all the DLC?
Click to expand...
It'll be Steam-only, so a disc install will just do it through Steam, like with (for example) Total War games. All the DLC will go up on Steam.
 
is there any information how many mk9 was sold for pc ?
just wondering how match compared to xbox or ps3.
