by that logic mortal kombat stick figure graphics would rock...long as the game play was good? sorry graphics matter, if they didnt.....no one would develop new systems....

"I don't care for graphics that much."

I never said I didn't care about graphics at all. If the graphics are stick figures, that would hinder the gameplay. Read before you reply.
 
haha man im only winding people up, if you were on the forums for mk9s announce, there were countless threads about stryker, his hates vs his lovers hahaa

i hated him

MMA is dead in Japan. More like US/Canada/Brazil.

The truth is MKX is going to run on a dated engine. Regardless of how you to try to justify it, that's the reality. It's getting gimped down for the last gen consoles. That alone makes me angry. Imagine how much better MKX would've been on the Unreal 4 engine. That's all we can do is imagine :(



@Ames32

I don't have any of the current gen consoles yet. It is selfish to expect any game released in the current gen to cater to the last gen consoles. PS3 and 360 had their time to shine(8 years to be exact), now give the PS4 and Xbone that same opportunity.

^^^^ this!

I guess ed knows his main market is in usa...and no one makes money in usa any more so hes catering to shitty old gen....but yes it was always said mk would be on the unreal 4 engine.....gamespot even had an article sayin NRS has signed a contract to us unreal 4 on the new mk game.....so we get a gimped out u3 engine....thats lame as....how is the game expected to look any thing like the trailer? IM hoping for what kamal said...that its for next gen....ported to old gen, not gimping it out for obama voters with no jobs who cant by next gen hahahahha
 
The reality of it is that this game is being released too early in the life cycle of the next-gen consoles that it has to be cross-gen. What is more reality than the fact that it could've been using the UE4, is that people don't switch over completely to next-gen until 3-5 years after release. The PS2 was still being produced for a whopping 7 YEARS after the PS3 was released.

Sure this game would have been amazing and a state of the art technological masterpiece if it was on UE4, but I'll go as far to say that NRS, and WB for that matter, would LOSE money if they released it as next-gen exclusive at this time, considering the amount of resources that will have to go into utilizing the top of the line next-gen technology to develop this game.

You guys need to see the picture for what it is presently. Yes, we're all MK die hards, but think in the perspective of a casual fan. In no way is MK at a Grand Theft Auto/COD/Halo/Battlefield level in terms of popularity. At this early stage, where $500 for an Xbox One, or $450 for PS4 is no joke, will MKX make me want to splash the cash and jump over to a next-gen console?

That's actually true. Graphics ALWAYS take a back seat to Gameplay. By your logic, Pac-Man is a bad game.

Do graphics play the game?

yes, they do....if you have better tech, you make a better game...how can you make a better game then mk9 with the same engine....

what is better mk2 or mk9? obviously mk9...why? graphics...tech....advancements....mkx will hardly be an advancement if it is infact just a re-skinned mk9 with minor tweeks....I dont get this whole graphics dont matter argument?!?! Mk would hardly be what it is with out the graphics...if graphics didnt matter we wouldnt of got passed pac man!

YES pacman was good at the time...just like mk9 was...but we must evolve....
 
Just because the engine is the same, doesn't mean the graphics are going to be the same, as pointed out by many in this thread. Also, just because they're using UE3, doesn't mean it'll play the exact same way as MK9. Its an IMPROVED version for a reason.

People arguing about this are just butthurt graphics buffs that have no idea about the growth and longevity of the series, that they just want to see a visual masterpiece that can tank badly in terms of sales. And then when that happens, you might as well kiss MK goodbye. Look how quickly WB was pulling the plug on the MK Movie because the second season of Legacy sucked ass. Either that or they jumped ship to next-gen in the beginning and think they're entitled to exclusivity because they paid the money for it. Fascist much?

Lol, tell that to Tekken who have been using the exact same game mechanics for SIX iterations, including the Tekken Tag series. And as far as I know, they're the best selling fighting franchise.

Or even Street Fighter to an extent.
 
Or maybe some of us want to see MKX perform at it's true capacity.

MKX doesn't come out until 2015, so that would be a year and some change.


This discussion doesn't matter: MKX is cross-gen and running on the unreal 3 engine. The question was whether I agree or disagree: and I disagree. I'll still purchase it but I think MKX is getting cheated because of this last gen crap.

You are aware that the "last gen crap" is strictly for business reasons...

mk is different it needs to wow...as its one of the fighters that has never been taken seriously and not even entered into tourneys till mk 9...and lets face it a joke to fighting game fanatics...so its a little different....You think I am on the only one raging about it being cross gen? check the fb page, youtube, he web in general a lot of people are unhappy...

Tarkatan trash, you can tell your a slayer fan...you apply the same logic to MK....EVERY SLAYER RELEASE MUST BE RAIN IN BLOOD! SLAYER DOESNT NEED TO CHANGE!

sorry mk needs to evolve an change
