How about any franchise not Zelda or Mario?

What do you think? A new metroid? Kirby?

A NEW IP MAYBE?

[apsham]

Woah woah.

Don't get too hopeful now.

Woah woah.

Don't get too hopeful now. Let's not make insane comments that will probably never happen.

Nintendo first party and new IP aren't really the norm. But some 3rd party nintendo only were pretty cool. I was grateful when some got ported, like no more heroes.

Mortal Kombat X has been announced for everything under the damned sun. If the trailer is anything to go by, Injustice's destructible environment system will be featured, as well as character variants that can impact fighting style (IE, not just costume swaps, but tweaks to framerates & movesets depending on which variant you choose).

Ugh, we can't embed more than 1 video into a post? Booo.

I also demand that Ellis makes us a post like last year, this one is terrible.

MK9's story was great and it had stuff to do besides that like the Challenge Tower and Test Your Luck fights for multiplayer. Thought Homefront was decent too and It seemed to sell pretty well for a new IP but apparently not well enough. I guess they think there's still a market for it, not too sure myself.

I guess it's not as odd to see those two revealed early since I think Ed Boon has been teasing it for today for a while now and both of them got leaked onto places like Amazon over the weekend, but you'd figure Horizon would be a big part of Microsoft's show. Cool to see that get another outing though, enjoyed the first one and it still seems to hold it's value.

Dear god the music on that Mortal Kombat X video is terrible.

[TKz]

Yeah, but Injustice was fucking nuts, so any more fighting games from that company work for me.

But Homefront? I mean, cool that they're committed to their IP, but does anyone actually care for it?

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!

Trailer is fantastic... If the game looks even 25% as good as that though, I'll eat Kung Lao's hat.

Likewise. Ben Kuchera just railed against the trailer over at Polygon, but Ben's been rather angry about damn near everything lately, so meh. Just happy to see Boon & Co. able to continue on the successes of MK9 & Injustice.

Wiz Khalifa Very excited for MK X, though, I quite enjoyed the last release as well as Injustice. Skeptical that it'll look like that, but it should be a pretty good game regardless. As for E3, I'm looking forward to seeing Mortal Kombat, Arkham Knight, whatever 2K's got in store for NBA and WWE, EA UFC and whatever big blockbuster game that'll be released in the Fall/Winter. I imagine I'll be getting a PS4 later this month for my birthday, so hopefully there are some good titles I can look forward to.

If the last game wasn't so great, that trailer would've pissed me off, but since they're not doing yearly sequels like in the two previous iterations of the series, they've earned the benefit of the doubt.

No way in hell that's gameplay footage though, so it is kinda pointless in the grand scheme of things.

UFC is out in two weeks so I doubt you'll need to see much of it at E3.

What's with all the rappity raps in the MK trailer? Seems odd for them to use that

[apsham]

So I'm just seeing now that the next Battlefield game is being developed by the Dead Space devs, and is going to take things out of the.. well.. battlefield and move it towards a kind of Miami cops and robbers setting.

That's an.. interesting take I guess, Battlefield Hardline they're calling it. Seems like someone liked Payday 2.

No different than when they used Adema for a tune in Deadly Alliance. Just latching onto the latest music fad.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I watched that Adema music video you could unlock soooooooooo many times. I can't even explain why.

[Your Mom]

I don't remember that one. Makes sense I guess. That song just didn't really scream Mortal Kombat to me
