With a new trailer dropping for Mortal Kombat 1 just ahead of Street Fighter 6’s launch, it felt like a good opportunity to revisit the gory series. Will the discussion between Nick, Darran and Tim end in Friendship or with a Fatality?

DARRAN

So what did everyone think of that new Mortal Kombat 1 trailer and was it a cynical attempt to take interest away from Capcom’s Street Fighter 6?

NICK

I liked the trailer, but I’m a little bit wary of this being yet another reboot – the last three games were really pretty good. As far as being an attempt to take interest from Street Fighter 6, if it was, it hasn’t worked. Everyone’s talking about Street Fighter.

TIM

I was like, “Oh another reboot, meh.” And then it got so incredibly violent that I was wincing at bits of it. Not sure how much it’d detract from Street Fighter 6 though, there’s way more interest in Street Fighter right now.

DARRAN

I thought it got progressively gorier as the trailer continued. I don’t care for another reboot myself, but it does look fun. Certainly more fun than playing the original game.
