Series creator Ed Boon sits down with the folks at IGN as he presents fifteen minutes of new gameplay footage. Brilliant. Bloody brilliant. New characters, new fatalities, we even three different versions of each character to play with!
Many commenters on youtube seem critical of the gameplay mechanics, saying that Mortal Kombat has always been a “visuals first kind of affair”. I beg to differ. The last installment was both visually satisfying, and very fun to play in solo and verus. This new one with its improved graphics, environmental attacks, and character variation system should have all the replay value of its predecessor and more. Definitely looking forward to the next update.

WARNING: It’s Mortal Kombat. If you don’t like seeing bloody faces and eyeball stabbing, don’t watch this video.
