Looking Back On MK; Part 4: Mortal Kombat 4 & MK Gold

When Mortal Kombat 4 came out, I was still in primary school, but I didn’t get to play it until I was seventeen. I had seen the ads for it back when it was coming out, but everything moved too fast for me to know what was going on.

I can remember being in primary school and my friend who rented the game said it was now in 3d. I wasn’t sure if that meant the characters were now polygon models or if you had 360 degrees of movement. Turns out he meant both.

Mortal Kombat X: My Predictions

When I first saw the video revealing Mortal Kombat X to the public, I wasn’t sure how to feel. Scorpion and Sub-Zero just looked a little bit off; and the combat (kombat?) seemed slow and disjointed. I was less than thrilled about the four new characters (kharacters?) too.

But it didn’t take me long to change my tone. I began to warm up to the new kombatants, and saw their potential. In a few days, I went from skeptical to excited. The gameplay footage helped. They’re still kind of stupid, but y’know.
