Saved me 60 bucks.


Gmork - 2015-04-03

Also: Kitana's kiss of death. Come on. They got close with Rain in one of the last titles doing some water inflation, but they still try to use normal models and not custom animations for the inflation part. The vertices stretching like that look terrible - if they used a visually identical model with higher complexity for just that sequence they could get a smoother expansion.

I say this as both 3d tinkerer and as a person with a stupid fetish.


SolRo - 2015-04-03

so...they need to tighten up the graphics?


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

INFLATION FETISHIST!!!

I fucken knew it!


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

I'm not judging, mind you. As a lifelong Kitana fanboy, I've known about you inflation/ballooning/fatty-feeder weirdos for years. You're one of the few fandoms that truly and consistently appreciates Kitana's work, through fair weather or foul, and you know what, I respect that.

I accept you.


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-03

5 stars brighter than a thousand suns for this new gmork insight.

So how did it start, Gmork? Was it Violet Beauregarde like everyone always assumes? Educate us!


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

For Gmork:

Gmork - 2015-04-03

Hey, at least I recognize how silly it is. It still gives me a boner.


Gmork - 2015-04-03

Honestly, OZ - I'm not sure. Violet definitely played a part. In fact, there were a TON of inflation moments on TV when I was growing up. Taz had a force feeding scene in his Tazmania show where someone was in a stockade. Pete from goofy has a particularly well-animated water inflation scene that I remember growing up. I remember wondering what it'd be like to inflate - and being teased/humiliated while it happened. I'm into hourglass / thick chicks (realistic or exaggerated), water inflation, fat inflation, but not really air. Doesn't do it for me.

Oh, and I enjoy some hint that popping may happen in the future, or may be the climax to a story, but I have zero interest (and am repulsed) by gory descriptions or pictures. It has to be undescribed, implied or cartoony.


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

Submit some of your favorite inflation videos. We could have an Inflation Week.


Gmork - 2015-04-03

I've been tempted to submit things that I can legitimately become aroused to, because a lot of them really do deserve to be submitted here as a poetv exhibit, but it doesn't seem right.


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

Well, I can't really relate to submitting material that you're personally attached to in a fetish-manner. Maybe it would be weird? I don't know. But I do know that I won't make fun of you. And if it's poe-worthy, stop being a baby and submit that shit.


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-03

I wonder if the Internet's effect on the generation being born now will be kind of the reverse of what TV did to people currently in their 30s and 40s. Instead of developing all sorts of esoteric fetishes related to completely nonsexual details of TV shows, maybe the kids who are going to live their whole childhoods bombarded with mpreg furry omegaverse vore porn will grow up to be completely vanilla.


Sexy Duck Cop - 2015-04-04

Of course gMork is an inflation connossequir. Of course he is.


SuperSquiggles - 2015-04-09

Even real time tessellation would have been an option to make the models look less pointy. Proper morph targets could have probably also hidden the problem. I'm willing to wager that the art pipeline is really complicated when it comes to setting up the fatalities and they probably just didn't want to bother. That or the triangle budget was already over.

Gmork: We should team up and create the best looking most inflated people ever video game.


SolRo - 2015-04-03

that x-ray is so idiotic.

knife through the eyes, broken spine, shattered skull = minus 1/5th of the health bar.


Gmork - 2015-04-03

Wait, those don't kill you outright? Like when you get hit juuuust the right way on Fight Night and crumple even though you have full health?

They actually stand up after all those? Man, I _really_ saved 60 bucks.


SolRo - 2015-04-03

I'm just going by what I see in the video.


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-03

I blame CSI for the x-ray thing.


zerobackup - 2015-04-03

Yeah dude, Mortal Kombat should be more realistic...


Gmork - 2015-04-03

Well the point of saying that, zero, is that I can see how the fighting will probably devolve into seeing who can do as many of those x-ray moves in 1 round as possible. That sounds like it's going to make the actual fighting retarded by always interrupting you with agonizing animations every five seconds.

That's why I said I saved 60 bucks. Those moves seem too gimmicky, it'd totally ruin my enjoyment if every five seconds some asshole pulls off one of these moves.


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

Xrays are limited by your special meter, similar to how Super Moves work in the Street Fighter / Marvel titles. What's more, in MK9, xrays drained your *entire* special meter. This was a problem, because your meter was also used to power combo breakers and to give you charged-up versions of your regular special moves, many of which were necessary for high-level combos (for example, Kitana's charged fan throw allowed you to both stun enemies and "interrupt" many of her basic moves, making it integral for breaking past 30% damage). For these reasons, you rarely saw people using xrays outside of casual play; they simply cost too much.

It's probably going to be balanced the same way in this one. Xrays are there to look cool, and to give new players a badass move that they can perform once a match without having to practice combos for dozens of hours. You won't be able to spam them, and expert Kombatants will probably tell you not to use them even when you get the meter filled, so don't worry.


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

Hold the phone: is this really ALL fatalities? I think I saw some from E3 previews that weren't here.. mk2 is still my favorite fighting game, with or without the fatalities but unless it revolutionizes the gameplay, yeah. Gorefun. Back to mk2.


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

NM.. missed the original video title.. was gonna say that's less than the original MK!


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

All revealed as of the time that video was posted. There's going to be a lot, at least two or three per character, but we'll know when it finally drops.

A few cool facts that you might enjoy:

Jason from Friday the 13th is going to be in it.
Predator from Predator is going to be in it.
There's a petition to get Oderus Urungus.
The fanfavorite Johnny x Sonya ship is now considered official; they have a daughter together.
It's going to be available on PC, so mods and hacks ahoy.
Apparently Kitana will have her MK2 costume unlockable via the Android/iOS tie-in game, which means YES. Don't worry. There will be ryona videos of Kitana, MK2 costume!


Caminante Nocturno - 2015-04-03

I'm going to be sincerely disappointed if we don't see Robocop in this or an upcoming Mortal Kombat game.


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

Is Robocop "owned" by Warner Brothers? The reason why NRS is flirting with all these extra characters - Batman, Harley, Freddy Kreuger, Jason, Predator - is because DC/Warner bought Midway out. If Robocop is part of the WB Empire, then we may well see Robocop as DLC at some point.

Personally, I'd like to see Hello Nurse and the Road Rovers.


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

Hell, they could probably use intellectual property from The WB Network too. Dawson's Creek, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 7th Heaven, and Steve Harvey!


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

I'm definitely going to redbox it for 360, even though I know it won't look this pretty.


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

Yeah Here's Johnny is in there. It was a spoiler for me to learn that JC was in the game at all. I don't really pay attention to MK's storyline all that much, but didn't he died?


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

whoops meant as reply to EH below.. I seem to be good at this today.


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

No, Johnny was one of the only Kharacters to survive MK9's story mode. It wouldn't have mattered much anyways; MK is constantly killing off people and then bringing them back! In fact, Johnny died a few times in the Original Timeline, and the only character we know who is definitely dead as of MKX is Jade (Kitana uses her weapons now), but even that is tenuous and might change.


Sudan no1 - 2015-04-03

I am not sure how I'd feel about Robocop (America's Jesus) being dissected by lowly MK characters.


garcet71283 - 2015-04-08

I dunno about Robocop, but how about Freakazoid or the Animaniacs?


Change - 2015-04-03

i wonder how many other animals actively exhibit exhilaration watching their own species suffer to the point of death


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

Yeah, you know something's wrong when a man's chest gets cut open heart pulled out and squished like a rotten tomato and the victor drinks the blood and you think "meh, that's one of the weak ones.. oh well."


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

Most or all, at least once you get to the point where the animal's brain is even capable of processing concepts like "exhilaration" and "mortality".


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-03

I think it depends on population density and availability (real or perceived) of resources.


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-03

I bet when a gerbil in captivity gets stressed and eats all her babies they probably taste delicious.


Jet Bin Fever - 2015-04-03

I think it would be a lot more disturbing if everything wasn't sliced or ripped into nice neat little clean lines. Also, the Xray thing is the dumbest thing ever.


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-03

Maybe by MK 12 or 13 they'll start to approach the goriness of the average 80s European horror movie but I'm not holding my breath.


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

I'm not a big fan of xray moves. I like the idea of cinematic super moves, sure, and it's not the worst idea Ed Boon ever had (MK3 Brutalitues and Create-a-Fatality), but NRS really should tone them down, or at least make it so damage inflicted during xray moves negatively affects the fighter's performance (e.g. breaking an arm disables punches with that arm). Over-the-top kung fu logic is fine, but the way it works now, it hurts immersion and brings you out of the game.


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

Also, OZ - Scorpion's "blow a hole in your chest, then slice the front of your face off so that they can have a closeup of your brain flopping out and your tongue waggling around" is worthy of the best Italian splatter films, as is Ermac's "telekineticaly twist your body until your espophagus seperates from your throat, then drag a line of intestines out of your body before throwing them on the floor".


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

The X-rays are a lot more fun when you're playing it than they are to watch. I'll agree it's annoying when your eyes are gouged out and skull crushed, but MK's never been the most realistic fighting game. However, it would be cool if there was a mode where x-ray moves to specific places would take a toll on the victim's mobility, like Bushido Blade. There's nothing more fun than breaking your opponent's legs and miraculously he or she breaks yours' too and the rest of the match becomes a rolling and crawling match to see who can get the other person to accidentally fall off a cliff


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

Oh. I sort of said what EH said. I think my favorite is still Cassy's bubblegum fatality, even though it's the least violent. It brings back some of the humor that I felt the last one was missing.


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

Yeah, Bushido Blade was high on my list of thoughts there, too.

I haven't watched this video, because I don't want to spoil the surprise, but does it show Johnny Cage's "Here's Johnny!" fatality? That one was fucking hilarious.


Gmork - 2015-04-03

Agreed, IZ.


Gmork - 2015-04-03

Hey EH - how do you beat the boss in bushido blade 2? I completely stomped through that entire game on hard with the Naginata and then the final boss had some kind of trick that I never figured out. Do you happen to remember?


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

If I recall you just have to get him from behind, kind of like grabbing Bowser's tail. But I didn't play it on hard.


infinite zest - 2015-04-03

I could be wrong though, but I think that was sort of the M. Night twist at the end, that the only way to win was to disobey the code of the bushido, something like that?


EvilHomer - 2015-04-03

No clue. Gamefaqs would probably have info on that, though.


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-03

"EvilHomer
Also, OZ - Scorpion's "blow a hole in your chest, then slice the front of your face off so that they can have a closeup of your brain flopping out and your tongue waggling around" is worthy of the best Italian splatter films, as is Ermac's "telekineticaly twist your body until your espophagus seperates from your throat, then drag a line of intestines out of your body before throwing them on the floor"."

Yeah, but, like, that was 30 years ago.


Caminante Nocturno - 2015-04-03

Ermac's fatality made me laugh, shake my head, and yell "oh, come on!" But, at least it entertained me while doing so.


Prickly Pete - 2015-04-03

I guess I'm the only one who thinks the x-rays look pretty sweet. Unfortunately it's all a waste until they bring back hara-kiris.


Gmork - 2015-04-03

My mortal kombat experience ranges from 1-3, a little of ultimate, and deadly alliance / deception.

Which one had hara-kiris?


Caminante Nocturno - 2015-04-03

Deception had hara-kiris.


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-03

I think the last time I played Mortal Kombat was on a friend's Atari Lynx.
