Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns - Official Cyrax Gameplay Trailer Revealed

Thinking of finally double dipping on the switch version assuming they got all the kinks out with the last several updates. How's it running these days? Are load times and graphics respectable now?

@Truegamer79 Why would you get it on the switch if you already have it somewhere else? Portability?

Such an epic trailer though. It looks so great to me, so it'll be the stuff of my brother's wet dreams.

I know this sounds tiresome. But I'll wait until WB Games releases the final complete edition of Mortal Kombat 1. MK1 is such a disappointment to me.

@Lightsiyd

Portability i guess and it would look nice on the shelf next to my MK 11 for switch. Besides that I've got money burning a hole in my pocket. 😉

I got this one physically on Xbox for $22.
I like it quite a bit, I think it's a decent MK title.
But Warner Bros can absolutely [redacted] all the way off, charging $50 for an expansion pass, and making a full pass the only way to access new characters. No.

If I do end up getting the new season it'll probably be when it's on sale in a few months. I dipped my toe back into MK1 recently and while the game's clearly better than it was it was still something where I played it for a day then went back to playing 9 instead.

Cyrax looks good though. She's got some pretty fun mechanics and I like that Fatality quite a bit.

Multiverse ruined Marvel, Bayonetta & Mortal Kombat. There's no impact on the story / character anymore since there's always "another version" from other universe.

This does nothing for me.

@NeonPizza The games are available on GOG for what it's worth. I actually just picked up Trilogy earlier tonight.

@NeonPizza the absence of such a collection is odd given their availability elsewhere as well as other collections like Street Fighter.

Does WB Games know there’s a market for retro collections?

@gb_nes_gamer Considering Warner Bros has been sitting on the entire Midway arcade catalog, doing ONE compilation with it for the past 15 years? They don't care.

@LadyCharlie maybe through NetherRealm or some other way, the demand will become clear to justify another release. If not anytime soon, we may see it somewhere down the line.

If you are going to bring in Cyrax and Sektor and gender swap them, why do the same story of Cyrax going against the Lin Kuei?

@Truegamer79 DIP AWAY!

The graphics are now on-par with MK11's switch port. The load times are still 30-60 seconds depending on what you're doing (i.e. 60 seconds to load a match). This makes the Invasions mode pure agony. Also, just like MK11, the online fights can also move in slo mo depending on what stage and the connection, which will mess up combos, and nothing works if you're offline.

But for collection purposes and practice mode, I think it's in a good place.

@hd94 Oh god, I have all the Bayonetta games but haven't gotten to 3 yet... gulp

@stinkyx don't worry, the gameplay is still super fun, just have lower expectations on the story. It's not all that bad, I just don't like the multiverse stuff.

the masks look like they belong in bionicle...

I know the Internet's all afire about Cyrax and Sektor being girls. But I don't care about that. I'm just annoyed that it looks like things are settling right back into the old status quo despite the massive superficial changes, making the reboot pointless.

Shang Tsung and Quan Chi have become evil and formed a Deadly Alliance™. Again.
Bi Han is going to be killed and become Noob Saibot. Again.
And it looks like they're going to revisit the whole thing of Cyrax and Kuai Liang fighting Sektor to determine the direction of the Lin Kuei. Again.

Then again, Mortal Kombat 1 is hardly alone in being guilty of this. Street Fighter and Tekken are resurrecting their iconic big bads, M. Bison and Heihachi, despite the previous games in both series making a big show of killing them off and going out of their way to make everyone believe they were out of the game for good.
