I still feel somewhat violated that arcade sticks don't work with the XBLA version of UMK3, so I'm glad this is aligning to become the go-to game for modernised classic MK flavour.
Gotta say, visually it feels so much better than MK vs DC. Originally, I was afraid they were just going to reuse their old renderer and character art. Thankfully, it looks like they are making some real improvements.
Definitely liking the new looks of the ninjas, cyborgs, and both Mileena & Kitana who all look way more epic than they did in MK vs DC. Also, I've noticed they improved their characters' hair, since Cage had flat hair in the first trailer but now has geometry hair. Now if only they'd take that cheesy tattoo off his chest and just have the "Cage" belt, I think he'd be perfect. :p

i do think this looks cool..but i would of loved to of seen them use digital actors again with next gen technology
Absolutely. HD sharpness and up to date green screen methods. Get some funny industry cameos in there, too, and make some snazztastic costumes. Sooo sold!
Oh but all the ninjas should still be palette swaps. For authencity's sake.

have them still switch to the 3D view when pulling off special moves. I think it would look awesome. Although i dunno if they'd get away with the fatalitys..not unless it was rated 18 anyway - and that means (in theory) less sales.

I doubt I will buy it considering I am not into fighting games anymore, but with MK never say never with me.
Kung Lao + Sub Zero = awesomeness!
