Mortal Kombat 11 Switch Direct Feed Footage
- Thread starter Lady Bow
- Start date
Having the same internal convo about PS4 Pro or Switch.
For me, I keep thinking I'll play it a ton more without needing to be tethered to my console and tv, but I've played all recent Injustice and Mk games on PlayStation and I'm not sure how much I'll miss the graphics, controller, etc
When Rocket League launched it was really bad with very low resolution and it is an Unreal Engine 3 game. Now it is so much better since launch thanks to many patches and I think the same can happen to MK11 too. Anyway, thanks to some handheld footage of MK11 on Switch at 60 fps like this , I have to say this port doesn't look bad at all considering the many 3D details this game offers, specially the backgrounds.
I think they will probably improve the graphics but like every game on every platform they need time. On my side I'm just deciding on what version to buy on Nintendo Switch, base or premium. I just can't wait to play MK11 on Switch.

This looks really good besides the super bright lighting
This is the decisive factor to me. The chances of booting my PS4 just to play a couple quick matches of a fighting game are next to zero. The Switch makes this much more effortless with it's convenience and sleep function.
Hey man Ill play Mortal Kombat with you anytime to get you through Ariel finding the Thingamajig for the 51st time in the background. DM me your friend code!
Haha! I'm actually not even a fan of MK. I came in this thread to see how the port turned out. I'll dm you my friend code for the hell of it though :P
This port is really unpleasant to look at with its sub-360/PS3 quality visuals in handheld. If a game can't hit native res even with severe compromises to the textures, shadows and lighting then it's probably a game that exceeds the Switch's capabilities.
Somebody earlier in the thread compared it to those Youtube videos of people messing with .ini files to get modern games running on ancient PC rigs and it looks exactly like that. The atmosphere and artistic vision of the game have been choked out of it.

Some low geometry but I fucking love low geometry. Evem better if the game plays exactly the same.
If I want graphics I can also get the PC version

I feel like im taking crazy Pills in thinking these don't look bad for the switch...
Even the mods are getting in on the hyperbolic comments!
So like many games on the Switch? What about the games that are 900p or 720p on Xbox One? Perhaps people are fine with the port and will enjoy it, what is the harm in that?
Looking at this video, then seeing people say it looks atrocious etc. This port looks good.
Holy shit at this hyperbole.
I love seeing NetherRealm games at their best. Injustice 2 looks amazing on my One X. I am, however, stoked to play MK11 on Switch. The gameplay looks perfect and image quality is juusstt fine. Y'all out here acting like PS4 and Xbox One never compromised on resolution to get games running on the hardware.
Like I said, look at the Negative Nancies and then see how (in)frequently they participate in the various Switch community threads on Era.
You do understand that people play the switch at home in portable mode right?

We have known for a while that it looks good and is a great port....but there will always be people looking for some of the worst comparisons to validate their opinion.
Like when we see the game looking great in motion and people suddendly prefer to use still shots to evaluate the quality of the port.
We are still doing this in 2019 ? lol....after Fortnite and tons of f2p online multiplayer games on the Switch still getting these kind of replies.
I don't disagree with the atmosphere being choked out by the downgrade.
I disagree that the artistic vision is being choked.
In a videogame gameplay is intrinsically tied into the artistic vision and that gameplay has been fully preserved.
Even the art direction portion while downgraded in detail is all there. It won't be as atmospheric but what we are getting is more than acceptable.
This at 60fps is very good considering the hardware of the switch.
I think people tend to forget what the switch hardware is, your not going to X1S visuals, compromises are needed.

Pretty sure that first video is a repost of someone else's gameplay and they are claiming it's handheld mode even though to probably is docked. Not many people in the world have the ability to capture handheld footage!
looks very good considering everything, but i'm not going to get it still. there seems to be so many little issues (mostly for the whole game, not specifically the switch version). i still want to experience it tho so if they do a complete edition like they did for X, i'll probably get it.
Switch version is already preloaded. PS4 this thursday when I get paid, then Xbox version by the end of May with tin case if possible.
Grew up playing MK in Game Boy, so have many fond memories of playing portable MK and at launch.

Yup. My nice 4K tv is in the basement. My wife used to complain that I'd be down there for long periods of time away from her. And honestly the last thing she wants to do is play on her phone while I play games. Spending time with her in the living room while I play my switch has been huge for me. It's a nice compromise. Every so often I'll play through a PS4 game on that tv but I find it really hard to devote tons of hours until she goes to bed. I'm honestly always going to pick sitting around with my wife and dog over sitting by myself.
Most people are easily influenced by others opinions when some of them don't even own the console itself having a completely different POV. If you play 4K games everyday, how objectively you can look at MK11 on Switch? Everyone should decide what they really want.
If this game ran at 30 fps, you could easily have all the effects running on Switch. But what about the 60 fps action? The Nintendo Switch draws like 4W when portable, it's unthinkable to ask for almost the same level of detail and framerate that other console like PS4 have running with 70W. Saying that it looks like a smartphone game it's just trolling, because you can only dream games with those details running at 60fps on a phone. Most "gamers" should do a reality check.
That video is of course overexposed to light and that's why with that contrast makes even a better impression, and yet I can clearly see how that framerate do justice to MK11. When they say this game could run on a PS3, yes why not? But what about the vertical sync that created screen tearing on every game on the last gen that if included ate around 10 frames? Was PS3 portable? What about MK on Vita?
I think that MK11 on Switch has room for improvement and the fact that runs at 60 fps it's a fucking good start! I saw later patches in many games where it improved performance and graphics a lot, why this should be different?
Point is if MK11 didn't come to Nintendo Switch, everyone would have cried for it. Now that it is coming without any reserve from the software house "at launch", there are just the eternal unsatisfied that wants always more.
If you want the best graphics for MK11 then the Nintendo Switch version isn't for you, but if you want to play it on the GO...
People are crazy, it's friggin' MK11 on the go at 60fps. The Switch version won't be my main version but as a fighting game fan, 60fps means everything over top notch graphics.
We can only hope that Nintendo see and realizes the game changer they have and invest heavily in the concept moving forward to expand it even more.
Yup. If it wasn't coming there would be complaints of where is the 3rd party support.
If it was 30fps and more detailed there would be cries of how it's unacceptable that it's running at half the frame rate.
If you want the best looking version, get it on Xbox one x or build a pc. I'm personally going to double dip when I can grab it in a sale because of how gorgeous it looks.
But for the people who want MK anywhere? Judging by the videos I stand by this is one of the best if not the best looking 3rd party game.
if someone has a good TV, take the more powerful console version...
game really looks like ass on the Switch, impressive or not, i wouldn´t play this for extended amounts of time. this is cool for hardcore fans that want MK everywhere but these people will double dip too
the game is a looker on the PS4Pro, vibrant colours, crisp quality... people will be missing out with this Switch version...unless someone really travels A LOT or has no access to an own TV, better version all the way...
and you guys know that the game is always online for everything? will hamper the Switch version even further

Just as a heads-up for those looking at this for the play anywhere aspect, be sure to look at the single player mode thread as the Krypt and Towers of Time modes where most unlockables are earned is online only.
Is this confirmed for all modes?
I thought I read somewhere that you can play it offline and it just syncs up whenever you get onto an internet connection.
Wow! You sure are trying your damn hardest to convince people not to buy switch version.
Nope. That's only for story and Klassic Towers which have very limited rewards.
We have two 4K TVs, two Switch, Xbox One, Xbox One X, PS4, PS4Pro... and Switch version is already preloaded.
Getting other versions too, but I have been a fan of MK since 1992 and Game Boy was my main platform back then, so portable because of nostalgia and can take it to work to play while I wait for my partner.

I'm already $200 down on this game (digital Premium Editions on Xbox and Switch) so the quality of the port is almost beside the point now that they already have my cash.
That's the same with me. I have an Xbox One, but I'd play more on Switch. So I have it preloaded on my Switch. Dragon Ball Fighterz was the same. I got it on Xbox around launch, but found I liked playing it more on Switch.
That's the main reason I buy almost everything on Nintendo Switch, it's way easier to light on the console and play in any room you are while staying in company. I think the Nintendo Switch is the console where I played the most any game I bought and actually completed them.
Well then it was a co development then because panic button definitely worked on the injustice vita port. It's even on their website
Yeah. A few of the team worked on it (networking, optimization and UI) but it was mainly an Armature thing.
