Good news - Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition comes to PC

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-22-mortal-kombat-komplete-edition-for-pc-announced

It includes all of the DLC released for the console version, including Skarlet, Kenshi and Rain, and Freddy Krueger. There's also 15 classic Mortal Kombat skins and three classic Fatalities for Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile. The PC version supports the Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition Fight Stick and other controllers. Expect achievements and leaderboard stats, too.

The PC port was built by Conduit developer High Voltage Software, and will be released for digital distribution on 3rd July. A boxed copy will launch on 2nd August.

Looking forward to buying this on Steam. Seen and read good things but never bothered with the console version

IMO:
Blazblue is good but just wait for the new one to come out
AE has a good netcode but everyone online is way too good now.
3S still has the love out there ( same with HDR)
Marvel series ( MVC2, UMVC3, Origin) is stupid fun
Guilty Gear just had a update and is fun
Tekken Tag 2 has a better netcode then Blazblue
KOF13 is technical like VF, but VF is too manly.
Skullgirls is easy to learn and pretty fun
Injustice is one of the better games that Neatherrealms has produced.
DarkStalkers:R has just been released and isn't get the love it deserves.

You probably get the same opinions from SRK or Zaibatsu..Sanji! AOS! Where are you!?

Neatherrealm aka middway has no good games. Just saying. Same goes for the game series dead or alive.

Injustice is an improvement. Dead Or Alive isn't suppose to be taken seriously..

 

[DeathSmiles]

For a change of pace.... this is one of the worst things I have ever seen.

Neatherreals/midway isn't supposed to be taken seriously either, it is not a good or serious fighter. The japanese have doujin fighters that are MUCH better than these piece of **** fighters.

What I don't get is how everynew nr game sells well and people afterwards talk **** about it how it was such a bad game. In general people are talking about how mk9 and igau are not as bad as the old ones, I don't agree. these games are terrible. Doa is probably better, but that really isn't saying much.

Now that game in the upper vid is nr bad.

Explain a serious fighter? Because I would like to play Senor Foostie and probably have a good chance winning a major. Just let the hype die, everyone was so hype for SFxT. Once it was a Evo, the hyped died down before the patches and the wavering opinions about it.

Exactly my reaction. I swear the elitism is strong with this one.

 

[Musolini187]

It sure as hell ain't good.

And it's got nothing to do with elitism, I like good fighters with a good fighting system.

mk9 and igau are still not good fighters. Old fighters from the 90's are still better than these games. Even fighters from the beginning of the golden era are better than these games (93 to 99 is pretty much the golden era of fighting games).

Just look at just how big of a list you can make with fighters better than nr's games. American made fighters suck in general, except for skull girls as that game is actually well made. And no, not all Japanese fighters are godly (art of fighting, fight fever etc are horrible). But the best ones are Japanese, garou series, street fighter series (cept x and the movie), kof's, vampire series, las bldes, samurai shodowns, gg, bb etc. Not even mentioning the great 3d series like tekken and vf.

What makes a good fighting game? KOF's strict timing,GG/BB endless character specific combos, SF/Garou(KOF/AoF/etc)'s crazy ground games, Marvel's hype. If it doesn't satisfy your taste then don't play it or critique it saying it isn't a good game without giving it a chance nor reason. Clayfighters was fun, Warpath: Jarassic Park,Bloody Roar series.

If its bad, explain why MK is one of the most widely used games for fighting tournaments (none can top Super Turbo though). Also, PS All Stars was American and its a really good game. Aside from Japanese games being good fighters (except Tekken 4- it sucks), your post has no valid points.

Tell me 1 tourney in Japan where they play any NR game. Just because casuals in the west that don't know anything about fighting games buy this crap doesn't make it good.

It's the need for speed game for fighters made by the EA for fighters.

The gamemechanics are ass. the way the characters move and control is ass, the character designs are ass, the block button is retarded, the character models are ass, the dial a combo system is ass, the game is plain boring and not fun, all the characters sharing most of the normals (and the same jump arcs) is just dumb.

NR fighters are like EA racers (or burnout), they can't be taken seriously. PS allstars sucks.

 

[Darren.]

The EVO tournaments have used the MK games, I'm sure as I saw a video on Youtube.

Evo got sponsored by neatherrealm, ofcourse they will future the game. It's a US made game in a tourney in the US.

Where is that Esports gif at... though MLP:Fighting is Magic seems fun.

This, and actually NEW Guilty Gear!? FIGHTING GAME HEAVEN is upon us. Now all I need is a new Street Fighter (yea, that won't happen anytime soon). lol

Ono should release a new AE 2013 with 4 more characters.

 

[DeathSmiles]

lol, indeed. That is actually more likely to happen than an actual new title.

Its probably going to revealed at Evo. With information about KI and Divekick.

Here we go again, Ultra Street Fighter IV just got announced at EVO for an Early 2014 release. It adds new stages, 5 new characters and balance adjustments. All for $69.99! $15!.

I don't know if I get happy or mad.
Is good to know that a game from 2008, still receives support, and after 6 years will receive a new edition.
Will be the 3rd time I will buy a SFIV game.
I think it is time to Capcom move on, and make a SFV for next gen.

The game gets an entire make over. Added new stages with 4 confirmed characters. You can get the 40 dollar version that has all the previous DLC and enjoy some of the new ones early. Capcom does need to make a new game and I hope it will be a 2d fighter that has sprites like KOF.

Will be 5 new characters and 6 new stages.
My only problem is that back in 2011 I bought the Arcade Edition, because Capcom said that AE would be the final version of SFIV.
And a SF with 2D sprites like KOF would be amazing. KOF is the most beautiful fighting game this generation.

 

[DeathSmiles]

KOF XII/XIII will be some of the last of the quality Hi-Res hand drawn fighters. Even ArcSys is going with 3D Models, now.

Street Fighter IV was highly successfull, and continues to have a strong presence in the communinty. Why go BACK to an old visual style now? It won't happen.

And the community asked for continued support, and tweaks. getting SFxT leftovers is a bonus they didn't have to provide. And this doesn't subtract from any potential new title in anyway, so it's all good for those who still play Street Fighter IV.

EDIT - Btw, Ono doesn't have the staff or funds for V right now, anyway.

Too bad you still won't play it.

I'm down for the changes, don't care so much about stages or characters. I'm at the stage where it'll take more than a "new" character to get me to really play this game again. I still do, but I'm not going to be investing hours into learning another character.

 

[DeathSmiles]

I used to do sprite art for funzies. I was in the MUGEN community (anyone here familair with the engine?) real tough a decade ago.

I would love to see that final hurrah from Capcom in the 2D realm, especially after what they did with animation in the late 90's with Street Fighter III.

That lazy outsourced to UDON who outsourced to second rate Korean companies Super Turbo HD which was an old game with basic animation to begin with, doesnt count.
