Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series.


What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style for every style just to keep things balanced.


Is Mortal Kombat X only for the new consoles? It certainly looks that way, not just because of the fancy graphics but also all the tech they want to put in the game looks like something only the new consoles and of course the pc (eventhough I can´t say for certain that the game will also appear on pc) can handle. But the fancy cinematics don´t mean shit when the gameplay is bad, so maybe this is important to some people but I wouldn´t consider this as the selling point for this game.


So what does this game need to be new? Well I´d say some new characters, new moves and some amazing arenas to fight in. It´s nice when you see a familiar face return but if you all get the same old characters with a graphics upgrade then not everyone will be excited for that. I did hear that the battle between good and evil will play a bigger role, what that exactly means is unknown to me but maybe it has something to do with choices or finishing moves. Perhaps you even have a different type of aura, maybe in the style of Fable?


The game will launch in 2015 so no need to worry about anything just yet, the developers have a lot of time to work on the game and that´s a good thing!
