That’s better than Jedi Survivor. I had to clear space for that one. The PC port was even worse, space-wise, than my PS5 port. My son was given a free download of the PC port (he knows a guy on the development team at Respawn) and that thing took up 155 gigs. He said it played fine, but the cutscenes were UGLY. He showed me some screenshots and he wasn’t wrong. I’m sure it’ll all get patched in the end, but I don’t recommend getting any PC port of a AAA title at launch. The PS5 requires 155 as well. Per the case. You know, that seems right but when I looked it up on the Googles it told me 140-something. I guess I could have looked at my hard drive to verify that though.

I'd love to see some offbeat characters from the MK lore pop up in this: the original Kung Lao, Jerrod, Kia, Jataaka, heck one of those masked guys from the Courtyard in MK1 (1992).

Not sure were you are getting Shang being a good guy, it looked like he was up to his old tricks and schemes to takeover. I just rewatched the trailer and I have to admit I somehow missed the fact that he was the one killing the other characters in the montage. That said, the end of the trailer where Liu Kang fatalities him just gives me that vibe. Maybe it's just me, but it feels less like a hero killing a villain who's given him no choice, and more like a corrupt god punishing someone for refusing to submit to him. And hey, Tsung slaughtering the other characters could be a result of Kang's action since there's timey-wimey stuff going on. Could also be that there'll be multiple timeline versions of the characters, so there could be both an evil and good one. So I could be way off but that's how it came off to me. Also....this is Shang Tsung we're talking about here. Even if Liu Kang does get corrupted or whatever, he's still simply unable to be a good guy.

Hell, half of Aftermath was Shang Tsung pretending to be on the level only to reveal his big evil plan.

I think MKX did a fantastic job of taking some of the more bland and forgotten kharacters and making them genuinely interesting. If you'd told me before that game that I'd love Tanya someday, I would have told you to get out of here. So i'd love to see them give more characters that treatment. I was a bit disappointed that MK11 didn't really have that. Less walking advertisements disguised as guest characters and more retooled obscure ones, please!

The only reason Shang Tsung would be on your side is because he hasn't come up with a way or opportunity to betray you yet.

Sonya, Jax, and Kano being Kameos is the best thing I've heard about this game so far. Long thought all three of them needed a break.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} So Mileena's features are being hidden by a spell but it's starting to weaken and Kitana's trying to help her but Mileena thinks she wants to get rid of her.

Might sound weird but I'm getting Marvel vs Capcom vibes from this the way the Characters run on and off the screen.

I feel like the dev team definitely played a lot of the striker-era King of Fighters games. Will be curious to see how many of them are full characters and how many are exclusively assists. Speaking of strikers, that's a classic look I don't think I ever expected to see in HD.

So looks like Kameo Fighters are similar to how they've functioned before, but now also worked into fatal blows and fatalities? And there were a few things there that reminded me of Injustice, both in terms of stage layouts and vibes, and also looked like Kitana and Milleena were doing a version of that game's clash system. {Spoiler}Intrigued by some of the story hints there, especially Mileena's 'disease', and the fact that Mileenna talks about Kitana coveting 'my throne'. Guessing Kitana doesn't know about the Tarkatan ancestry, and Milleena starting off looking normal as Shao Kahn's chosen heir (if he's still around) and degenerating with Kitana trying to help her is quite a neat twist on the setup we've had before. Stuff with the rest of the cast gathering also had vibes of the latest MK movie, but in a more traditional setup.

BUT Kameos are older versions of characters. {Spoiler} the inversion of Raiden and Liu Kang is neat too.

It sounds like the Kameos all have more "classic" designs. Could mean Kano, Jax, and Sonya are in as regular characters with more modern designs.
Interesting that Sub-Zero and Scorpion are brothers this time around. I've seen speculation that the Sub-Zero in this game is neither Bi-Han (first game's SZ who became Noob Saibot) nor Kuai Liang (who we mostly know as SZ), but their grandfather who was the original Sub-Zero.
I guess we'll see when the actual gameplay details come in.
