« Gamescom 2010: Mortal Kombat 9 First Look via IGN »


Ze goggles! Ze do nothing!A playable demo for Mortal Kombat 9 was present at Gamescom 2010. IGN got some time with the game and put up a first look preview. There is very little in the article that is new if you've been following the game religiously from day one, but there are a few tidbits and it isn't a long read if you want to scan it to be sure. Here's a sample:
I got a chance to see classic fighters including Johnny Cage, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Nightwolf, Kitana, Mileena, and Cyrax. I did spot the character select screen for a few seconds and counted the slots of greyed out fighters, and if that screen remains true all the way to the final, we'll get at least 26 different fighters -- Reptile's a definite as he showed up in a Fatality-focused trailer showing how he'll take out his defeated enemy, by forcing their mouth open and drooling acid right in there.
I don't remember reading this detail before, but apparently Playstation 3 owners of the game will get an exclusive stereoscopic 3D mode. Check out IGN's preview here.
