The detail in the MKX select screen

Thanks for this and for collecting the stages. I really like these little summaries.

The walking away part had a little glich, the animation was lagging as the loading started. I hope they can eliminate that for the final version. And I didn't like the new loading screen, why did they choose this black screen over the kombatants' render?

The new stages are awesome, the team did an amazing work with the new backgrounds.

I think because the loading screen doesn't last as long as it did before, so why show a picture if it's only gonna be up for a few seconds? It seemed to me that it didn't take long for the loading screen to come and go, so I think maybe the game starts loading the match while the fighters do their new walking away animation (you've chosen stage and fighters at that point, so everything's set to be loading). Or this might have been just for their live stream build, since things aren't necessarily final.

I like those renders, but I'm fine with leaving them if it means loading times that feel shorter as a result of the cool new walk-away addition. :)
 
I know its only the selection screen but like I've been telling everyone...its the little stuff/details thats gonna help usher this game on the next gen systems.

even though its small in comparison to the rest of the game as a whole it was F'ing BAD A$$ to see once you chose your character, they did their little animation and WALK OFF as they prepare to fight. To me that was just amazing! Great Job NRS!!!!!!
 
A little detail that made the whole difference. I don't know if the snow Forest will be the main menu's background, but this taunting and walking to battle was genius idea.

Well, but pay attention that this happens before you have selected everything.

What if they make a standard background for select screen, then you select the battlefield, and the background turns into the stage you selected, and then the characters make this?
 
LOVE IT!
Love how they walk away at the end, when match is about to start... it's new thing right? It wasn't there till yesterdays stream?

Get out of my brain Ledbetter.....

I was thinking the exact same thing before I came across your post. Hi Five Bro.

It'd be the coolest if the Select Screen wasn't limited to just the Snow Forest. I'd love to see the lighting at work with different stages as the background. It doesn't even have to be when you select your stage. It could randomly generate a stage for the Select Screen after every match.
 
Man, I LOVE the Kharacter selection screen in this game! It reminds me of the Deception version, only better! I love how they don't even all have the same generic walk when you select them, the taunts, the walking away, EVERYTHING is just so badass! Little details like this is making me love this game even more!
 
i love the layout but theres only 26 character boxes so im wondering how theyre going to fit the rest in
 
Yup this is hands down the best select screen. I guess the snow forest should remain the default background since its dark and the characters come from the shadows. As long as the main menu will be whatever faction we choose im good. I don't wanna see the snow forest as the main menu background at all.

There are 25 slots, and why auto assume we'll get more than that?

I think 24 is just as likely as 26-30.

Lot of arguments for each school of thought. It could really go either way, though, so I wouldn't be surprised with either outcome (nor would I mind either outcome).

There's space for a 26th too, but nobody ever seems to mention that. There was only space was 24 before. They made more space and they can make it again. Looks like they shrunk the size of the slots, but they could also squeeze them together (with no space between them) and would be able to fit in at least 30 slots.
 
The taunt animations and the walking away is out of this world. MK hasn't looked or felt this alive since the first movie came out.

I hope the select screen stays exactly as it is. I really like the minimalist approach, without the cartoony golds and reds. It fits the game's dark look.
 
Great thread. I agree it's the little things in this game that make it fantastic. This is one of the reasons why I'm going to buy a PS4 to get MK X on because the little details really do impact the bigger picture
