NetherRealm Studios Explains How Next-Gen Consoles Enhance Small Details in Mortal Kombat 1

Quote

During the panel, Thiago Gomes, the art development director at NetherRealm Studios, elaborated on how the ninth generation of home gaming consoles allows the studio to show more little details and interactions in the costumes and levels.

"With the new consoles, we have a lot more power to show a lot more little interactions, including the little robot that comes in and cleans up all the blood," Gomes said. Little details, such as the stitches on Li Mei's costume, are also noticeable, thanks to the power of the new consoles.

Gomes also explained how the environments are lush and really pop when visible. The panel also showed some visual aids to illustrate the point, such as a living forest, but also reassured fans that there will be classic Mortal Kombat levels.

So in GBVS Rising they're making technical and simple inputs with no power differences. No idea why they're doing this when they had the perfect hybrid of simple/technical already baked into the previous game. I think they utilized simple inputs better than any other game including SF6. Oh well, guess I won't be touching this after all.

@EvilCanadianI have zero interest in Project L but when I get from home from work, I'll check out your video just so you can get the view/watch time.

I think Project L looks legit and I'll definitely be playing. I'm anxious to see who makes the roster. There are currently 164 LoL champs so they won't be running out of new characters to add over the years.

Shakunetsu · July 28, 2023

devs still hasn't learn from this lol

I posted this in the NRS thread already but just in case people don't frequent it.

Gera's moveset look cool. But he himself looks smaller and less threatening than in MK11. Cool trailer.

@AriesWarlockIf only Tanya looked like that in game. He did a better job of capturing the face models beauty by a long shot. His rendition of her hairstyle makes it look better as well.

That's the annoying thing about Project L

As a League player I HATE playing against Yasuo. I ban him whenever I play midlane because I just suck versus him but Project L had to come along and make the dude look cool as hell.

Dudes got Nagoriyuki normals with Zero mixups and Vergil stuff. He just looks fun to play and I hate it

Rollback and Cross-Play

Rollback and cross-play are coming to Granblue Fantasy: Versus at long last!

We’ve been working on making this happen ever since the launch of Granblue Fantasy: Versus. After extensive research and discussion, we decided to rework everything into Granblue Fantasy Versus: Risingas the cost to implement these features would nearly amount to the cost of making a new game.

It wasn’t a cheap solution by any means, but we’re glad we finally made it a reality!

Previously Announced New Playable Characters

Anil

Siegfried

Nier

New Playable Character: Grimnir (voiced by Griffin Burns in English, Megumi Ogata in Japanese)

Grimnir can command the winds to advance across the battlefield in multiple directions and shift the trajectory of his projectiles at will. By utilizing his superior mobility options, he can rush down foes and oppress them with attacks from every angle.

I can’t stand losing in fighting games! It’s a lonely battle…

Introducing “Partners”! Here to encourage, praise, and advise you! All partners fully voiced!

—Rising Royale

Race to the finish while avoiding obstacles and use items to take out other players in this topsy-turvy battle royale!

—Bombshell Barrage

Can you survive Beelzebub’s explosive onslaught? Watch your step as bombs obliterate the ground beneath you and be the last one standing!

—???

Tekken 8 trailers

On a similar note, the entire roster of Tekken 8 has leaked days before this. It’s easy enough to find if you want to and is legit with what they’ve shown today.

Ah so there is no Chaos Realm, there is only the Realm of Order. Wait, does that mean Hotaru is showing up? He was the fighter from the Realm of Order in the 3D era games. His design wasn't bad, he basically looked like a samurai. He was basically the yin to Havik's yang. He had like lava based powers IIRC

So it seems though it might be created later. Anyway people were excited to see Havik

Darc_Requiem · August 8, 2023

@AriesWarlockHavik is by far the most popular 3D era fighter to not get into a modern MK game. They had him in the comics but not the games. Similar to Reiko, I mean they kept babbling about "The Reiko Accords" in the last trilogy and he wasn't even playable either.
