How in the frick?
israelite slop
That's the problem - It's israelite slop, so the animations need to be bland as frick and generic as they usuall are, not lively as frick.
Fippy bippy
So what's the "Free Play" thing the trailer mentions, and why isn't Switch mentioned there?
Free weekend on PC PS5 and Xbone
Like free, as in you can play Peacemaker and the other DLC characters without having to buy them? ...Except on Switch for some reason?
Yes switch-kun, do you guys not have free weekends on the eShop?
You can play for free the whole weekend and try the game out.
I'll have to check it out this weekend. The trailer doesn't mention Switch, though. I guess I'll see.
Free week starts march 7th, switch-kun
Oh, well I'll find out then.
Did anybody even know who the frick these characters were outside of Suicide Squad?
C-listers are all the rage right now.
No but Gunn made a whole series about him and he's one of the three characters that will make it to the new DCU
Kids who watched Justice League would know Peacemaker but he was a completely different character not this John Cena self-insert.
That's Orion not Peacemaker
>would know Peacemaker
JL version is a even bigger departure than the Cena one. At least the HBO one actually murders people with complete disregard for law and caped superheroes. The real peacemaker is a glowie assassin and would sooner shoot batman than stand by him.
That's not Peacemaker that's Orion, Darkseid's son.
That's orion moron
LARPing morons will never not be unintentionally funny
Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor were all Z-listers before the MCU made them popular.
>Z-listers
Aside from the iron man cartoon, the Hulk series and movies (one had thor in it), the shitty Cap america movie and the boost they got when the Ultimates were famous and got 2 animated movies.
Z-Listers, sure.
take your mcu goggles off the avengers were always a c list team before the movies
>Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor were all Z-listers before the MCU made them popular
>No they weren't, they were in tons of media before the MCU
>uhh actually I meant to say the Avengers were C-listers
And you're still wrong because the Avengers had two animated shows before the MCU as well as multiple games.
>And you're still wrong because the Avengers had two animated shows before the MCU as well as multiple games.
which were all notoriously shit
In that case I guess the Avengers never stopped being C-listers
>And you're still wrong
Anon, go back and actually look at the Avengers lineups before BENIS came on board. It was Z and C-list central with characters like Jack of Hearts, Black Knight, Doctor Druid or Stingray.
That was the beauty of it, it allowed these 'Literal Whos' to get some recognition.
So now this is about the popularity of Avengers before Bendis instead of before the MCU?
I know the MCU start seems recent, but Bendis starting his post civil war "Heroic Age" run was right after Iron Man came out.
You supersloppers overestimate how much anyone cares about your shit. What the frick did Thor have before the first Iron Man movie? A cameo in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon? I know Cap had that trilogy where his shield was see-through plastic lmao. And Hulk had one good vidya game and a complete ass movie.
>Doesn't mention any videogame in the videogames board
Like clockwork, have a nice day.
fricking blind homosexual
you mean all the shovelware super hero games? some games are so dogshit the creators dont even want to remember they existed
Oh so now Superman was a Z-Lister before the DCEU?
>random schizo nonsense out of nowhere
and now you're denying your own words, no more replies for (You)
I always find fascinating how or why blizzard made this compared to all their other early games
>The old Bullet DC Logo
Take me back
This game is decent. I was never good enough to play as most of the other Supermen.
I remember I beat the whole game by only using the super move. Good times.
FPBP, unfortunately as a MK fan, it's quite upsetting to see the current state of the franchise, last good game was MKX.
the entire reason Marvel still had the film rights to those characters is because none of the major film studios wanted them
They were being given away basically FOR FREE in the early 90s but only the Xmen, Spiderman, F4 and Hulk got bought out.
So you admit Hulk wasn't a Z-Lister at least
>Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor weren't as popular as Spider-Man so that makes them Z-listers
no you fricking dumbass
The Guardians of the Galaxy were Z-listers, Iron Man and Cap were B-listers at least.
nobody knew the the guardians of the galaxy where either before gunn
No, and the current popularity relies completely around JAAHN. If he goes, then no one will give a shit (see Iron Man, Cap America, etc)
Some people knew. Most didn't care about them.
Ah yes, Mortal Kombat, the arcade game that used digitized live actors and was a combination of western action heroes and kung fu movies
Peacemaker is a walking 80s action movie homage.
>Fricking JANET CAGE as the cameo
>Not cassie
>Model is already there
>Have to wait until march to unlock her
What the frick is NRS doing?
>What the frick is NRS doing?
destroying the last bit of good grace they earned from fans with MK9. I'm curious what the next MK game announcement will be after how quickly MK1 has died. My guess is they go for the cheap win and we either get something like a Shaolin Monks sequel or a remaster pack of some of their classic games but with modern netplay.
>They dropped injustice 3 to focus on M1K
lmao
>They rebooted the timeline to make it the same shit but Scorpion has a different name
lmao
>They turned an entire race into an infectious illness
lmao
>Third act is just multiverse armageddon
lmao
the game is like a mishmash of what was successful in their older games but done with minimal effort. invasions is what annoyed me most, I was so convinced before hand it would be like SF6 World Tour mode and another evolution to the Krypt mode. The entire game is just so disappointing at every single turn
why cant we get a cyborg rep
Cyborgs don't exist in the new era
neither do the kombat kids homie and look who's after homelander
That's the genderswapped Johnny Cage from the multiverse shit at the end.
Takeda and Cassie were widely agreed to be the best combat kids. It was egregious that he was skipped in favour of Jacqui, who no one gave a shit about. It's only justice that he is in this Kombat Pack (though he and Ermac should have been base game)
Not to defend DLC, but how would putting takeda in the base roster make any sense when he doesn’t do anything in the story aside from a 10 second cameo. Ermac and Quan chi should have been base roster
I haven't played the story (or bought the game) since it came so close to MK11. I know it doesn't make sense for him, it's just what it was fair, same with Shang Tsung in 11
>How in the frick?
Peacemaker is owned by WB and has a HBO tv show, WB owns HBO and Mortal Kombat. Basically it's a big advertisment.
>Still no date for the crossplay update
Frick these guys
I'm guessing crossplay is the reason there's a free weekend in 2 weeks.
Sounds like cope but guess we'll see
>livelier
He's barely animated at all. Moves likea shitty action figure.
>Even NetherRealm have given up on the Switch port
lmao
>How in the frick?
Pro wrestlers have exactly two skills, and one of them is physical acting. Every fighting game mocap model should be told to copy a pro wrestler, like they did with Peacemaker's mocap model and John Cena.
>Every fighting game mocap model should be told to copy a pro wrestler, like they did with Peacemaker's mocap model and John Cena.
his actual combat animations are as stiff as everyone elses though
only the cinematics are good
I stopped buying MK games after they started the whole Kombat Pack bullshit in X. Frick that shit.
I don't follow fighting games too closely, but from what I hear, nobody is playing this slop anyway.
capeshit slop my favorite
>zoomers thinking marvel had any popularity at all before the movies
>Spider-Man and Xmen getting 90s cartoons
>Hulk getting his own series before that
Don't forget Hulk getting his own open world game that people have almost as much nostalgia for as Spider-Man 2.
spiderman and the x-men were the only thing keeping marvel afloat
And the iron man cartoon and the incredible hulk cartoon and the 3 Marvel vs Capcom games
>completely ignores how marvel had to prostitute their IPs to literally anyone that asked because they were completely broke
>conflating popularity with profitability
>They almost went broken in the 2000s so all of the shows, cartoons, games and movies before that never existed
Because Quality = Sales, right?
If they were popular back then, why did they almost go broke?
dont try to argue with zoomers born after the movies came out
they almost went broken in the 80s, 90s, and 00s
pretty sure without the movies popularity in the last 10 years marvel would have gone under long ago, comic sales are at an all time low, a single issue of a manga manage to sell more than the entire american comic book industry. The new movies and series they are pumping out are a complete disaster that even most normies dont care anymore
I wager blade was more popular that captain american, iron man and thor combined in the early 2000s
Guest characters have more effort put into them. MK11 Jax's arms and Frost's entire body were flesh, blood and bone during x-ray moves and finishers, whereas Terminator and Robocop had unique and accurate innards.
>Frost's entire body
She's a cyborg.
I could be remembering it wrong, but I'm pretty sure the only organic part of her body left was her head (except for her eyes). You can see that she has a cybernetic spine in one of her intros, but during x-ray moves and finishers, it's a normal bone spine.
Who's the new rep? I can't see him in the OP.
Oh wow more capeshit in my MK. So cool. Much fun.
I liked TSS and his show a lot, I’m actually kinda hyped for this
They should add postal dude
It’s actually interesting to consider whether or not that’s even on the table. It seems like they would never do it but at the same time I can kind of see it happening
I don’t think WB would want to collab with such a controversial series that doesn’t have much of a mainstream following, but at the same time it’s an important piece of gaming history and they dialled back postal 4 and brain damaged a bit
To be honest Postal is a mediocre series. There's so many cooler and better FPS out there.
There's simply not enough of an audience to justify putting it in.
Also the only time they did video game guest characters was because of a deal with Sony for Kratos.
Jacket from hotline Miami is my dream guest character for mk
>would fit perfectly into the game
>very well know within the gaming cultural sphere, so there’s enough of an audience to justify putting it in
>Devolver Digital hands out licenses for their ip’s like candy, would be more than happy to collab
kek has you gays never heard about the comic book industry crash? it was way worse than the vydia one, nobody gave a single shit about superheroes after the golden age
thats the power of john cena
you WILL see him
all of him
/pw/
>terrible voice acting
it balances out.
I had never seen anything about peacemaker before this trailer. This character looks incredibly cringe.
>Janet Cage
I'm assuming all the budget is being spent on these guest characters.
But who the frick cares? The game peaked in popularity in the first week but after all the normies beat the story mode it fell the frick off and holds around like 900-1000 active players. Adding capeshit characters isn't going to bring back any interest in me and it's God awful fighting. Most people will probably do what they did for mk 11 and just watch the fatalities on YouTube
slopcopeseethe
Netherrealm REALLY needs to fire everyone in their animation department and hire new people. Its just bizarre that we have Tekken 8 and SF6 with excellent animations that use the character's full bodies, demonstrate the strenght behind each attack while also being easily readable and MK is still somehow stuck on everyone being stiff as a board and attacking with only the upper halves of their bodies. Its like they're 10 years behind the rest of the industry in the animation departament
I'm actually scared of this game because I want to try it on the free weekend, but I know I'll probably occupy like 150gb of space
It's like 110+ GB
I'm glad John Cena didn't phone this in like all the other celeb VAs
what they did to my boy raiden and the females on this one I cannot forgive
literally first mk i won't play
