The only major difference is in the loading times. Players are treated to a character art screen and a progress bar between every mode and fight. The longest of these only lasts around 12 seconds on Xbox 360 but you can shave off a few seconds on PS3. In some instances the PS3 has about half of the load times with the new scene loading before the progress bar even fills up. Interview: Ed Boon on The Ups and Downs of the Mortal Kombat Franchise".

As we've already mentioned, Mortal Kombat targets a v-synced, 60FPS update, and this is solidly maintained mostly throughout an entire match. The only time we see a deviation from this is during the performance of both X-Ray moves and Fatalities - where control is removed from the player. V-sync is disengaged when the frame-rate drops below 60FPS, and as a result there is some barely noticeable slowdown and some mild screen tearing.

The title Mortal Kombat was the idea of pinball designer Steve Ritchie, [37] following difficulties trademarking the original title of Mortal Combat. [30] Since then, the series often intentionally misspells various words with the letter "K" in place of "C" for the hard C sound. According to Boon, during the Mortal Kombat games' development they usually spell such words correctly, only making the substitution when one of the developers suggests it. [38] Graphics [ edit ] By the end of Mortal Kombat 11 and its Aftermath expansion, reality got a reset courtesy of a newly empowered Liu Kang and the Hourglass mechanism left behind by Kronika. This timeline, which is referred to as the New Era, is protected by Kang and features familiar faces in reimagined roles. Some things never change, though, and as seen in the reveal trailer, classic foes such as Shang Tsung are still up to no good even after they've been given a fresh chance to live a peaceful life.

On the verge of death by the former's hand, the latter sent visions to his past self in a last-ditch attempt to prevent this outcome. Upon receiving the visions, the past Raiden attempts to alter the timeline to avert Armageddon amidst the tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, during the original game. His attempts to alter history mean that events play out differently to the original series. While he succeeds in preventing Shao Kahn's victory with help from the Elder Gods, he accidentally kills Liu Kang in self-defense and loses most of his allies to Queen Sindel, leaving Earthrealm vulnerable to Shinnok and Quan Chi's machinations.
