Will the next one be Mortal Kombat 2? At least Battlefield 1 had the excuse of being set in WW1. I don't mind it when games re-boot and keep it clean as the franchise name (e.g. God of War, DOOM), but in this case you have: The original Mortal Kombat, which people refer to as MK1 Mortal Kombat- which is technically Mortal Kombat 9 Mortal Kombat 1, which is technically Mortal Kombat 12 Just a bit weird and confusing, especially since this is sort of the 2nd re-boot for the franchise now. The Hitman reboots being numbered 1 - 3 irks me similarly; there are now two Hitman's, two Hitman 2's...? In general I prefer games having subtitles than numbers - always feels a bit more memorable. Especially reboots. God of War and DOOM just titled their re-boot simply as the franchise, and then subtitled their sequels rather than number them identically. I also personally connect to games more with a cool subtitle that captures the events of that games a bit more - Tears of the Kingdom (Zelda), Ragnarok (God of War), Valhalla (AC), Village (Resi) than numbers. Mortal Kombat: Reborn or something like that would have been cool and fitted in with their reboot marketing pretty cleanly (also, thematically if I'm interpreting the trailer right, and based off the end of 11). Obviously my opinion, people may disagree. Edited May 18, 2023 by PhantomFear94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeancePrime Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 With SF6 around the corner, the only way I'm buying this anytime soon is if Shao Kahn is on the roster (which I doubt since Shang Tsung is a preorder bonus) or if there's a guest character I really want to play like Michael Myers.

Obviously my opinion, people may disagree. Hitman is not comparable, at all. There is only one Hitman and that is 2015's Hitman. The original game was titled Hitman: Codename 47, and similarly there is only one Hitman 2, and that is the 2017 title. The original sequel was subtitled Silent Assassin. The only confusion there could be is if people don't bother reading the plain English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Mortal Kombat XL years ago and never played it, and have been really close to buying 11, for no reason at all. But I grew up on this franchise so I've always loved it...I just suck at it now (kid me would be ashamed). So I don't really know if this reboot story is still in tandem with the story of the previous games or not...but it just seems strange that Liu Kang is the god now instead of Raiden? Plus the naming...Mortal Kombat 1 is pretty bad. I can only assume that maybe it's referring to it being the first Mortal Kombat tournament under Liu Kang's Universe? Assuming the whole 10 tournament thing is still the story? Graphically it looks incredible though...can't knock it there. Raiden gave up his god hood to be able to compete in Mortal Kombat and defend Earthrealm.

Dangisuckatgamin Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Of course this is all CGI so I'm not expecting the gameplay to look like that. But if it does, holy crap we are in for a treat this time around. This may be a day one buy for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK 1 2023 is MK12 because they continue MK 11 story but probably developers and publisher don’t want big numbers like 13/15/18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be pretty damn disappointing if the game doesn't look remotely like this when we've been long past the days of cinematics being far higher quality. I don't expect much of a departure.

Popular Post Hitman_Spinksy1 Posted May 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2023 I agree with Viper. Current gen is a million miles ahead in comparison to cross gen. I think of games like Demon Souls and how crisp everything is in comparison to say Ragnarok or Forbidden West whilst they also look really good, there's a noticeable difference still 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not both? SF6 and MK12 i expect Tekken 8 to be Q1 2024 though. It would be dope if it was Q4 2023. 3 hours ago, MidnightDragon said: Take a look at the Kollector's Edition statue isnt worth the price.

Nothing looked out of the realm of possibility for modern standards. This is true. When a game is specifically made for PS5, it looks much better than PS5/PS4 mix. I mean, sure Horizon 2 and GoWR look better on ps5 version than the ps4 version BUT they are also held back by supporting PS4. I wish more exclusives to PS5/Series X/PC were happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
