Warner Bros. released this new video of Mortal Kombat presenting the famous and lovely (?) Mileena. You can enjoy some nice moves and her sharpened teeth in 60 frames per second no less.

Characters movement still ages ago from being human. Plastic dolls' stuff all the way. Meh...
They're cartoonish, you know what happens when they have mo-cap animations and all that "realistic" bullshit?
Not responsive gameplay. The spastic movement is there for a reason, otherwise it'd be a shit fighting game. Tell me one fighting game with not arcadey character movement?

That's why I don't like it much. And they're a little bit worse than just being cartoonish. And animation also could be somewhat realistic at least, don't you think? Watching magazine scans for this feels A WAY BETTER than watching actual gameplay videos if you know what I mean. Watching female's poses and moves in this so called returned MK makes me want to puke. Honestly. And this is where many other games fails in my eyes. Just my opinion )
I see people talking some serious bs here. No, MK does not have spastic animations, because the gameplay would be unresponsive. Tekken has great animations and is pretty god damn responsive. MK just aims for the oldschool digitized character sprites movement and that's cool, cause it's part of what MK is all about.
Nice vid. Much better than Scorpion and Sub-Zero stories IMO. Also, can't wait for this one. It would be the first proper MK with proper fatalities in ages.

Oldschool character sprites, eh? Never though that could be an answer to my problem with that game... Since I barely remember Mileena (or Kitana, or Jade, or Sonya whatever) sprites got such boobs or fighting poses. Now I'm trying to imagine MKII actors posing like this in 1994. And you know what? No can do )

It just incorporates different camera angles and some flashy stuff since its actually 3d, same as sf4 did, but the core mechanic and overall feel of the game is still 2d. I like the oldschool feeling with stiff animations, you don't have to if it's not your taste. MK always was about ridiculous gore and simple, enjoyable gameplay.
Personally I always thought it was about quite realistic look in quite mysterious circumstances, highest martial arts tournament in existance, life, death, sweat, blood, gory scenes (fatalities) and crappy gameplay. But that's just probably me ))
No offence ).

Why would I be offended by you having your own opinion about MK ? ;) I'm a pretty devoted Tekken player (playing regularly for over 15 years) and I played MK from time to time only, bcause it was a lot of fun with simple moves, buckets of blood and fatalities. I got a lot of sentiment for this game and this new one reminds of the old days.
