WB goes in even harder with trying to line Rowling's pockets, puts in Voldemort as a guest character.

It was also published today that Warner also lost 2.1 Billion in Quarter 4 of 2022 and still has 49 Billion dollars of debt so... not a coincidence they announced this today lol

Man, I just hope MK12 is a pretty big overhaul because I hated MK11. Like, I loved MKX; gameplay was fun, story was good, Kung Jin, Takeda, Cassie, and Jacqui were interesting and then MK11 made everybody completely unlikable, the slower gameplay wasn't fun, and the story as a whole suuuuuuuucked. Also screw Takeda and Kung Jin I guess because neither were even in it.

I jumped on the MK11 train pretty late to the party (well after WB removed a lot of the worst of the grinding in the OG release) and liked playing it a lot even if the story was a convoluted mess (granted, I'm not expecting high art with fighting game stories and at least it isn't Guilty Gear/BlazBlue levels of convoluted). And I'm far from what you'd call a Mortal Kombat fan. Though I should go back and play MKXL sometime.
MK11 is going to be at EVO this year, so I'm guessing NRS will have a trailer for 12 ready by then.
As for guest characters, I want Jon Moxley. He bleeds and bloodies enough in wrestling to fit the bill. I also imagine he'll be a better voice actor as himself than Ronda Rousey as Sonya Blade.

Just hoping that nobody in the making of this game has to suffer just to make the fatalities super ultra-realistic.

With how Tekken 8 and SF6 look to be stepping it the f*** up , MK 12 has pressure on it to hit a homerun with this after how dissapointing MK 11 was.

I have never really been a fighting game fan as far as just playing it for fun and getting it whenever I feel it But damn does Tekken 8 and SF6 look really damn good to buy Day 1

But this? this feels like what MK9 was to Mortal Kombat...just going balls out and improving on everything that came before and bringing bold new ideas to a series that go past simply overhauling the fighting engine...will all the ideas work? who knows but on the surface SF feels like it is getting huge new life breathed into it just from what they have shown off.

Looks like they learned massively from their mistake of SF5 and took it to heart and just put some real care into this one Straight up visually the game looks ridiculous already and everything looks like it flows so well. They have retooled everything from the looks, music, moves etc This looks like a game they can realistically ride for the rest of the PS5 life console. Tho who knows how long this console life is, in theory you can say it is just starting since people are just now able to get PS5s after it has been out 2 years

Speaking as someone who was actually okay with MK11s slower pace, they shouldn't go for a repeat of it. From what we've seen from Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6, they're actually trying out new mechanics and making their legacy characters feel revitalized. Thats the direction that Mortal Kombat needs to go for. Also a good call on this feeling similar to MK9, since that was the game that brought me back to Mortal Kombat, just like SF6 is the game thats gonna bring me back to Street Fighter.

MK11's gameplay was probably my fave of the whole series. First time I've been able to go online and actually do pretty well, and going back to X felt a lot more awkward. Also loved the customisation options. Only real letdown was the plot giving up on the whole progression we'd got with Raiden getting warlike and Liu Kang and Kitana leading the Netherrealm, going back to the nostalgia well just two games after a full on remake of the original trilogy.
Gonna be very interesting to see where things go plotwise this time round, and hope we do get to keep characters like Cassie rather than just going back to the old faces.

I'd go as far as to say that SF5 felt like a step backwards from SF4 until Championship Edition came out. Granted, SF4 vanilla itself felt like a step backwards from Third Strike and Alpha 3, but it was intentionally meant to be more of a return to the roots of the magic created with Super Turbo. But Super SF4, Arcade Edition 2012 (we'll pretend the original AE doesn't exist lol), and especially Ultra SF4 really made it into an excellent fighting game.
SF6 looks like it's just going to be flat out new and different. I'm really excited for it.
MK12? I guess we'll see what we know of it besides a name. Though truth be told, I was really hoping for an Injustice 3, or at least some kind of NRS-developed DC fighting game, first.

MK 11 slowing down like it did basically turned it into a footsy game aka SF's bread and butter as far as their fighting engine goes.
When MK starts feeling SF you done goofed 4 detours back.

Turning Sindel into being evil all along and a gold digger was one of their biggest mistakes.

SF5 was so full of microtransactions that it was absurd.

I hope SF6 isn't nearly as money grubby as SF5 was. But then this is the Triple A video game industry. SF6, much like the modern MKs, won’t be the same game at all come 2026/2027 or however long it lasts as a main event EVO tourney game. The mechanics for that and MK12 once they drop will be in their infancy and their DLCs and meta adjustments will shift around everything as they go. I didn’t spend too much time grinding when I bought Vanilla SF5 outside of single player survival on harder levels. Once Champion Edition dropped I got the hang of Juri, Lucia and Ken (my mains) and got good enough to where I’m a Super Silver who can occasionally beat Golds and Platinums in Battle Lounge (rarely, I’m nowhere near Punk or Daigo levels. Diamonds and Masters almost always dog walk my ass, but I still have fun. When I first got online playing Ultra IV I was even more of a jobber, LOL.) How footsy based are these new MKs? Because I think I could actually do decent with those, I personally like poking and shimmying.

Gotta say, WB ruining Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League by turning it into a "Games as a service" game doesn't instill a lot of hope that MK12 won't be a microtransaction wasteland of a game.

MK 9 was the fastest game but also completely boiled down to.
Zone your opponent and spam your projectile = WIN.
