Well considering the genre it stood out from anything else that was great in that respect. I wouldn’t put it above stuff like Silent Hill 2/3, MGS2/3, THPS3/4, etc. but I remember it still being awesome for a car combat game.
Mortal Kombat 1: Finish Him!

PC Specs are fair enough, but 100 GB of space? And assuming it's also coming to Switch, that's especially big
That sounds quite awesome but also somewhat similar to the PS3 TM game that never took off (for unfair reasons). Sure, the single player portion was nigh atrocious due to the poorly programmed AI and subpar story mode, but the multiplayer modes were tons of fun. Granted, I do respect D. Jaffe a lot, so this praise might be biased...
I can't respect the guy, because he's such an egotistical douche hasn't done anything relevant in over a decade, and can't take criticism (his Metroid Dread playthrough where he quits early in game shows this). That last thing he did was the game they looked like someone's sketchings in a notebook, and that went nowhere. I'll praise the unique art style, but the gameplay was complete shit, and I don't think it's even available anymore.

Haha he does comes off like that, I agree. But still, he tends to look just the right amount of "agitated" 24/7, so I always see little bits of Sweet Tooth and Kratos in him... I do not follow his video blogs or whatever, but Metroid Dredd is an excellent game and there's no argument there. But hey, this thread is not about Jaffe, so I won't be hijacking it anymore
* Weird that Raiden still has his lightning powers here.
* I guess Kenshi is no longer a telekinetic in this.
* I'm interested in seeing how they depict Sub-Zero and Scorpion as allies now.
* A "disease" for Mileena? That's curious.
Not really. It was implied that Raiden would still have his lightning powers in the teaser. Besides, it wouldn't be Raiden without them.
They turned him into Doppelgänger Vergil.
Same.
Doing in the wizard there. I have a feeling there is some kind of "twist" to this.
I get that. It's just surprising since he's no longer a thunder god. I wonder what explanation they'll give for why he still has them.
They should have gotten Dan Southworth to play him again if they're going down that route.
Possibly.
They never explained why Liu Kang could shoot fireballs or turn into a Tarakata Dragon before becoming an Elder God. We assume Raiden just can, because trained himself for this.
Would have been beautiful, but at least we got Quantum Red Ranger.
I like that they’re bringing back more juggles. It seems like a blend of the last two pace-wise. A bit disappointed it still looks relatively similar artistically but maybe thats because I was also kinda hoping for more of an overhaul in terms of visual style and combat mechanics vs further iteration of past games. Basically like a more brutal version of Tekken with more focus on the physics of different fighting styles, hand-to-hand fundamentals, etc. and less focus on the silly X-ray shit.
Eh, it’s still too early to judge without actually playing. I’m sure it’ll still be fun.

So, there will be tag-team fatalities and x-ray moves now? For each possible combination of kombatants?
I’m noticing little details like the characters’ feet interacting with blood on the floor. Meanwhile Max is noticing all the frame data, attack patterns, jump arcs, etc. lol.
Up block might open up some crazy stuff. Also they called it exactly what I was thinking about chip damage with KI. That game was wild when you fought out of a danger stun and then were like a super powered glass cannon for last resort.
