That must be why I am not noticing any stuttering like everyone else is! I already had those things done.
I've got enough games to play that I was planning to hold off on this for a while. But, I played the hell out of MK11, more than I've ever put into a fighting game, and this is looking really good, so I might go ahead and jump on it.
I was leaning toward getting the PC version so I could also play on Steam Deck, but sounds like Steam Deck can't hit 60fps, even with aggressive FSR2. I was hoping with the low PC requirement (and the existence of a Switch version) that the deck would handle it without issue. So, that makes the decision harder. Might end up getting it on PS5 so I can play on the OLED in the living room. MK11 looked great in HDR.

Holy moly do I suck at this game. Mk11 felt so much faster to play. I just played with my son and he absolutely annihilated me.
Game is absolutely stunning to look at. PS5 here.

I love the combo in this game but holy shit is it annoying to watch blurry footage on youtube anytime there is gore on the screen. It sucks that content creator have to do that to not get demonetize. I hope nrs had an option to tone down the violence. I just wanna watch cool mortal kombat combos.
Yeah, but shouldn't have to rely on that. It's such a simple add.
Just finished chapter 2, they really outdid themselves with the story's presentation.
Did Liu Kang rewrite the universe just to kill the Ninja Mime Cinematic Universe ? Asshole gods.

That was a damn good campaign. I wish we could get a MK show or movie that was half as good.
They finally fixed the ridiculous difficulty scaling that all of their campaigns have had in the past. The difficulty will still ramp up a bit if you're winning fights but it won't swing nearly as wildly as it did before.

I think the first half of the campaign was stronger than the second half but it was all good fun. I didn't mind the over the top fan service that it turned into but I LOVED the first half that felt like it went back to the basics. Recruiting fighters, a tournament, going on an adventure in Outworld. I wouldn't mind a full on reboot that was just that kind of stuff played straight through.
Dont need to, just disable steam input and you get playstation glyphs.
Found a high quality video of Switch gameplay on YouTube (with some guy's mug taking up a quarter of the screen) but here it is!
Good lord, that fire effect, woof.

Do you have vsync off or on? I wish my frametime graph was as flat as yours :(
I still have stutters with both those options enabled
Im playing on pc, im on a 6900xt.
Did benchmark and training on 4k very high, run perfectly fine. Intro video had some minor stutters.
Will go for story mode now, and try to post my impressions.
Btw, the game does some shader preparation every time it starts. I let it roll till 100%

I guess this is only wired though, correct? Or does it work wirelessly?
Sweet! Thanks for sharing.
My first thoughts based on that footage is it looks slower than MK11 was (video compression, maybe?), blood not staining the ground is a glaring omission (MK11 had it), and the particle effects are scaled way, way back to a point that they look accidental.
I do however like that they didn't scale back the character select screen even if the load time is long and that matches have the same intros as the big consoles do. Other than the hitches and stutters, the combat including things like kameo moves look passable.
I have hope that they can optimize it further and restore some of the cuts; certainly on a Switch 2 if/when that happens. I remember weird stuff being trimmed in the launch version of MK11 that were later added back in (blood staining Cassie's hands during her heart fatality comes to mind). Saber are wizards with the hardware, so maybe with some time - no launch pressure anymore - they can polish it further.

So two questions, one that will require a spoiler to answer.
1. Was the music from all the trailers from the game itself? Specifically the bop they had in the Reptile reveal.
2. Speaking of Reptile, I need to know if he survives or gets jobbered or in some other way is ruined by the end of the story.

Off in game, on in Nvidia control panel. I have a gsync panel also.
I think I prefer MK11's story so far by a substantial margin. Just comparing the first 2-3 hours of course.
Outside of the visuals the game seems to play well. I'd say it is a pretty great achievement to have the Switch version of this the same day as the other releases, and it still plays well.
Usually they ignore it or release way later.
1. Not sure about the music from the trailers but the music in general is 5000x better than anything they've put out in the past decade.
2. Reptile is done justice in the story. He doesn't play a huge role in the second half but he's awesome in his part of it. Fairy certain he survives.
The use of actual rendered graphics means they're probably not using the CPU boost to speed up the load time as well.
Can someone tell me what finishers are in this? Please dont spoil anything else. I have gone full media blackout on this game, barring the first cgi trailer, and the very first gameplay trailer.
I know there are:
Fatalities
Cameo Fatalities
Other than that? Are there friendships? Babality? Animality? Stage fatality?

Invasions are great fun.

Only interested in this game for the story. now I got wait another 4+ years for more timeline shenanigans :( I loved it though. hopefully there's a time skip allowing Hanzo to grow up, or save that for the game after. Also Onaga when?
on a 13700k + 4090, I am mostly happy with the PC release. The menus don't feel snappy and Fatal Blows dipping to 30frames is some whiplash stuff. It doesn't transition back to a smooth 60 right away, either.
I've seen some small visual jank on the character select screen a few times, too. The netcode leaves a lot to be desired
But mannnnn, the core gameplay is hella fun

jesus, the stutter in the story cutscenes is really annoying me (ps5). will probably skip story and pray that they can fix it. i don't know what it is but as soon as the camera starts moving it stutters. it almost looks like it's performance issues. this was never an issue in any nrs game so i wonder what went wrong here.
Edit: i checked max dood's stream from yesterday. no stutter and he also played on ps5. the hell?

I've only played online for like an hour, it's… decent at best.
Tough to vibe with after three months of SF6
Pretty sure that's the end of timeline shenanigans. We'll get an expansion with Havik and his gang but the next game will be set purely in the new era. It's very telling that Liu seemingly gives up his role as the keeper of time to Geras thereby making him less godlike, and they kept all the key roles alive for the future. With Sindel the only fatality.
Finally got my key from CDKeys. Installed and ready to go! .
IT HAS BEGUN!
I'm so fucking pumped.
*fake edit*
Compiling shader now, lol

The 30fps in this definitely feels off in Invasions so sad to hear it is in the Story too.
It is one of those especially juddery 30 fps but the fights have been smooth as silk apart from a hitch when doing a multiple opponent fight.
In 4 sentences or less, explain the hook of Invasions and why you're addicted, go!
Back to back fights. Weird modifiers that I am intrigued so see how weird they go. Secrets and loot. Cool looking maps.
Flashing back to when I first played Alien Isolation way back in 2014... couldn't stand that opening cutscene stutter (the most egregious example I've experienced and stuck with me)
They either forgot to write cancel as kancel while the shaders are installing for example or it is a word they cant change due to cert.
Dunno if it's just beta muscle memory but Frost is still everywhere.
A low cancellable freeze Is just too good. The combo extension cameos don't compare to being given a free combo.

And even then, Jerrod!Ermac absorbs her soul into himself so I'm sure they'll bring her back.
here is the crazy thing: i started the johnny cage chapter again, since i had massive stutter in the opening. and when you replay a chapter: most (if not all) of the stutter is gone. wtf?
