Mortal Kombat is back with it's 11th version this time with MMA badass Ronda Rousey as Sonya Blade with an ultra violent preview trailer. Given the progression of titles in the MK series it will take a significant boost to deliver a winner this time, something for which the preview shows it may have a good shot at. Assuming the preview isn't pure fluff.

    Okay, so I'm not exactly a gamer, and my last experience with either of the abovementioned is KoF 98 and SFIII Third Strike respectively. But I remember MK being an absolute cesspool of shaky mocap, gratuitous gornography for gore's sake, impossible story, and the single whitest mishmashing and mangling of east Asian culture I've ever seen. It looks like someone threw the Inquisition's torture dungeons in a blender with every awful 70s kung-fu flick ever and poured it over the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

      Yeah, but now they've added MMA!! If they can figure out how to also include a blockchain it'll surely be perfect.

        MK11 combos are bite stacked, chained together with checks so that if you get the right combination you and only you win the next combo. You so be able to see a full history of combo moves with proof that a particular combo in the chain was made by you.
        So modern. So awesome. Mortal Kombat Blockchain Combo power!!! Coming to an arcade near you. All rights reserved. Suggested credit price $2.

      Okay, yes, that sums up the game very well.
      You know, this is exactly the kind of thing that 10 year old males really like. Actually, any male really.

      I'm with you on MK, but about the 70s kung-fu films... You know, some of us actually like that sort of stuff [steampowered.com]...

      .;.and that's what makes MK awesome. You know, I don't think it's trying to be a thoughtful or accurate portrayal of anything. It's trying to be over-the-top and fun. And it works.

    There are no guns, so it's alright.

      If Officer Marty Stu--sorry, "Kurtis Stryker" is in it, there will be. Also Erron Black, Sonya Blade, Major Jackson Briggs, Cassandra Cage...pretty much anyone from Earthrealm with military or paramilitary ties. Oddly, I don't recall Kano ever using one even though the Black Dragon specializes in arms dealing...

      Don't worry about the guns. Worry about the way these very violent Games & Movies are shaping young people’s thoughts -- big problem. "Congress should fund research into the effects that violent video games have on young minds." Barrack Obama. Need Rating System!!!
