Ed Boon Talks PSVita and Mortal Kombat
Posted by Christopher Veljanovski at 10:01 am
Speaking exclusively to the PlayStation.Blog, NetherRealm Studios Creative Director Ed Boon has revealed that the PSVita port of Mortal Kombat (2011) will include a number of additional features when it debuts in Q2 2012.

Harnessing the power of Sony's latest handheld, players will be able to carry around last year’s Mortal Kombat (2011) in near identical form. Returning are all of the game’s modes, including the acclaimed Story Mode and Challenge Tower.

In addition to the original 300 challenges present on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, NetherRealm sought to expand the portable gaming experience by introducing a second Challenge Tower which adds a further 150 challenges. These have been specially formulated to take advantage of the PSVita’s internal features, including gyroscope and accelerometer. How these will affect gameplay remains to be seen, but the possibilities sure are tantalising.

Another welcome note is that the game will retain its smooth 60fps frame rate, albeit with slightly lower polygon models. Couple this with a smaller screen and fans should expect a game that looks almost identical to its big brother.

Looks like the PSVita port of Mortal Kombat (2011) is shaping up nicely, and will become a welcome addition to any Mortal Kombat fan's kitty. Will you be picking up the game when it drops later this year?

Mortal Kombat To Hit PSVita Q2 2012
Posted by Christopher Veljanovski at 07:10 am
Warner Bros. in conjunction with NetherRealm Studios this morning officially announced a port of the critically acclaimed Mortal Kombat (2011) for Sony’s PlayStation Vita console.


From the press release:
“The NetherRealm team is committed to making sure that we follow up the success of 2011’s Mortal Kombat with an equally compelling experience on the PlayStation Vita,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “The original game content and new features we developed for the PlayStation Vita will provide gamers with the best fighting game experience available on the new mobile platform.”

Selling more than three million units worldwide in 2011, Mortal Kombat became the highest-selling fighting game of the year and has won numerous “Best Fighting Game of 2011” awards including Spike TV’s 2011 Video Game Awards, Official Xbox Magazine and GameTrailers.com.
While details beyond the press release are minimal, the port is expected to be available to North American audiences sometimes this Spring, not long after the console’s release. The title will have some stiff competition, with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken also slated for release closeby. Something tells us that Mortal Kombat will have what it takes to knock its competitors out cold.

Mortal Kombat (2011): Komplete Edition Confirmed
Posted by Alisa Brown at 06:36 am
The official announcement came today from WB Games that Mortal Kombat (2011): Komplete Edition will be released February 28th. This edition of the game will include every character, Fatality, and costume previously released as DLC. As an added bonus, downloadable versions of the Mortal Kombat: Songs Inspired by the Warriors album as well as the 1995 Mortal Kombat film will be included.

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition delivers the critically acclaimed game, all previously released downloadable content (DLC), plus digital downloads of the 2011 release of Mortal Kombat: Songs Inspired by the Warriors album with a bonus track, and the 1995 Mortal Kombat film on the PlayStation®Store or Xbox Live Zune. The DLC includes fan-favorite warriors Skarlet, Kenshi and Rain, as well as the infamous dream stalker Freddy Krueger. The game also offers 15 Klassic Skins and three Klassic Fatalities (Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile). Mortal Kombat: Songs Inspired by the Warriors is a collection of electronic music inspired by the game and is executive produced by JFK (of the DJ/ production duo MSTRKRFT and Death From Above 1979).
Mortal Kombat (2011) continues to ride a wave of success, including last week’s announcement that the game will be making a second showing at the prestigious EVO tournament series this summer.
