Raiden enters the ring in electrifying Mortal Kombat footage
24
We know what some of you are thinking: Raiden from Metal Gear Solid is in Mortal Kombat? Boss! No, no, friends -- this is the original Raiden, god of thunder, who shoots lightning and flies through the air yelling something that sounds sorta like "play the ukelele!" Oh, and he's all about that hat.

Hoo-Rai . . .den. Seeing him in action reminds me that it is time to watch "Big Trouble in Little China" again.

Radien isn't as cool without the original sound effects....
Since this is a reboot basically.... Have an original effect mode

Surprised by how excited i am for this.
not even an MK fan at heart, but each trailer makes me envy it more.
been replaying the demo again and again, beating those 4 fights in expert with each character.
Really looks like its gona be an amazing fighting game, much better than what Tekken6 was (and i was dying to get my hands on that... till i did -_-)

Namco hasn't made anything decent this gen.
Capcom's been doing very well with MOST of their games. Mega Man 9 and 10 were amazing, Dead Rising was mindless fun, Lost Planet (the first one anyway) was epic, Monster Hunter Tri got rave reviews, Tatsunoko VS Capcom was a hit. Marvel VS Capcom was a success. Capcom owns the fighting genre once again.,. Until this baby comes out. :)
Why hasn't Sega made a new Virtua Fighter lately? Did VF5 flop?

He says "ashockehshockehzaw!" Well that's what he said in MK2...
Or was it "kumesunweh!"?
It was all digitized gibberish to me.

Did anyone else notice that when Raiden busts up Baraka's skull, his skull is human, flat non-scary looking teeth and all?

They obviously didn't change the skull model to match each individual character.

That wasn't that long ago... I haven't been excited for a new game since god of war III then I was excited for grand turismo but kinda disappointed for some reason.. I think it was the funny looking trees out in the distance while you race, looked flaky 2 gen graphics like.
