Awesome! This just made me happy


Yeah me too. I LOLed at work during my lunch break. I hope they do more! Maybe they will do Tekken?

I like the luchadore mask on Bane though. Kinda disappointed Nolan has gone with a Mortal Kombat looking design from the advance photos.

Thought I would put it on a plate at your door step.

Who owns Jason from Friday the 13th? Because we might then be able to finally answer one of the most pressing of my childhood questions.


Really? Because I thought that was answered already.

Looks kinda lame and unpolished. Typical Unreal Engine ugliness abound. Why won't that stinking pile just go the fuck away and stop snaking its way into games I might otherwise want to play?

Oh please. DNF may use Unreal, but the renderer is a custom rewrite. You would never have noticed "Unreal ugliness" if you didn't know it was Unreal. Are you honestly saying Mortal Kombat 2011 looks ugly? Batman Arkham Asylum looks ugly? Are you saying this looks ugly:

Unreal only looks as bad as what the artists are capable of, and the newer versions of the engine are looking... unreal.


Actually, I'm not sure you know what I mean. The way the game looks is what prompted me to check if my assumptions were correct. I didn't know it used UE until I looked it up prior to that post, and the way everything is shiny, like it has plastic wrap on it is one such aspect to which I refer.

I don't like the engine because it tends (in my experience) to not be very robust and has several issues which always seem to nag at me no matter what game it is that uses it. Epic endorses NVIDIA, because they give Epic lots of money to do so, likely. As a result, they aren't as friendly to ATI (AMD) cards. It's possiboe it was the cards I was using, but other games never exhibited the same behaviors on ATI and not NVIDIA as UE games did. One such issue would be vsync seeming to behave incorrectly on ATI.

Oh, and don't even get me started on anti-aliasing... what the fuck modern game these days doesn't support AA? Oh, right. UE games. And if you manage to get it working by forcing it in your drivers, (doesn't always work, especially on ATI), then you get a much higher framerate hit than you should. Other engines handle it just fine, but for some reason, UE has a very hard time with AA, even on extremely powerful cards. Shitty engine.

There actually is a Street Mortal Kombat Fighter VS. Marvel, DC, TV All-Stars and the New Testament, it's called M.U.G.E.N.


He did mention MUGEN in the end bump...

Wanna hear something amazing?

I am an Australian who imported Mortal Kombat. It took almost 3 weeks to get to me, leading me to believe for a time that it had been lost or confiscated. Then a package arrived in the Mail, remarkably with a couple of PASSED QUARANTINE stickers on it. I opened the packet to find my copy of MK, untampered with, an a leaflet saying the package had been opened by customs and allowed to pass.

There is an Australian Customs officer out there who is a videogame fan ad I owe them eternal gratitude (or at least a beer).

This is pretty darn gay.

Merging jerky dance moves and mortal kombat sound effects with classical musicians in skimpy clothing does not make good music.

What the fuakkkkk.....

Is there a fighting game anywhere that features a girl with a beer-gut using Zangief-style moves to crush skulls and flatten people? I'd play that game. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat (you gotta love people that add unnecessary K's) is the worst game ever. It's popular because of the fatalities, that's all.


That's like saying Bloodsport is only popular because of the fight scenes, not the storyline

...so it's totally true.

Yeah, that's true. It's like Saw. I just don't see the appeal. The old Mortal Kombat was fun, since it was so over the top and un-realistic, but this is just bleh.

You know Mortal Kombat is a western franchise right?
