Mortal Kombat 1 PS5 Pre-Orders Punched to the Top of PS Store
Climbing the ladder
www.pushsquare.com
The excitement for Mortal Kombat 1, after a single cinematic teaser trailer, is through the roof. The game has rocketed up the PS Store pre-order charts, and is now currently the most pre-ordered title for PS5 in both the United States and UK. That means it’s trending above the likes of Diablo 4, which just got a major beta and is due out imminently.

If you're keen for a nose around Mortal Kombat 1 - and to play a part, however small, in making sure the whole thing do…

Looks like s*** and even though this isn't that, it still reminds of the "spectre" versions of the characters.... and I sincerely dislike these... it's borderline hate tbh
The thing I like about video games as a hobby is they don't take up space. I gave up on the collecting thing. I just don't have room, but it's fine for those that do.
I used to buy those collectors editions for games all the time and I always ended up throwing the things away eventually lol, they tend to be large and I just ran out of space for most of them.
Looks great.
I'm a long time Raiden player since the 90s MK1. I think he looks great and it's curious to see how Raiden is back with lightning powers after giving away his Godhood in the last game. Maybe him and Liu Kang kind of traded places or roles in time? Or maybe this game will give us a Raiden origin story?
Overall, I like what I see though I'm not really a fan of the X-Rays. I think the animations are to long. I wish they would replace it with a quick but powerful super move or projectile as well as use meter for Combo Breakers.
Yeah I love what they've done with Raiden too, I honestly never liked the voice actor they used for him anyway so this and the design are great. So far I'm loving everything I'm seeing although the Kemeo (that's how they spell it lol) fighters to make the screen look a bit busy at times.
As far as the X-Ray's I'm sure those will be tied to a meter again so people will probably use it for other things. I did find myself going for brutalities more in MK11 after seeing the fatalities a bunch of times, it was jjust nice to have something quick pop up at the end vs watching the same clip over and over.
Edit: Forgot the Fatal Blows are tied to your health meter in MK11, looks like that's back in MK1, once you go under 30% you can trigger it. They can be interrupted though.

Yeah I liked the Brutalities in the last 2 games especially with the guest characters like Leatherface.
I didn't even notice the faces on the trees in that forest stage lol. Love that some have day/night options as well. I hope we get an arena with some weather effects, I loved the Sky Temple in MKX with the storm that got stronger as the fight went on along with the tornado.
Graphically... I'm not impressed, could be mistaken for MK11 DLC... maybe it'll look better on real hardware and not compressed youtube idk
Did you watch it in 4K? it's got a lot more detail on screen, the effects are a lot better too. Things in the distance in the backgrounds aren't flat with depth of field to cover them up this time either. Johnny Cage's house for example you can still see that the foam from the waves moving in the distance as do the boats in the ocean, even the cliffs have some kind of texture and depth to it, in MK11 those would have been a painted flat background and not moved if they had tried to do it at all.
I think the fact that they didn't totally change their visual style makes it harder to stand out against an already amazing looking MK11. When you get to watch the longer gameplay clips I think things will start to stand out to you a little big more, either way we you are right about things looking better when playing them in person vs youtube videos.

The detail in the Johnny Cage background at night stands out even more lol, the lights in the buildings, the cars going down the road at the bottom etc. There is a lot more going in in this game visually than in MK 11.

Well, they had the Towers of Time which was an interesting idea, but needs to be less of a grind.
and not getting through like 20 plus X-Rays or Mercys or 50 Brutalities.
