Looks like it's back to its 2D MKII roots! bloody roots!
This game looks amazing tho.
EDIT: forgot to mention that this will be out in 2011 -- that's the rumor anyway from those that were able to attend E3.

a game that any MK fan pretty much cherishes.
That's not 100% true. I'm a MKOnline and TRMK lurker for years now (I will never ever sign to one of these boards for different reasons). Die Hard MK fans love MKII for its dark atmosphere and the huge improvement it was after MK. The gameplay (don't get me wrong... I LOVE IT) wasn't that well balanced though. For real competition Ultimate MK3 (arcade version) still seems to be the best Mortal Kombat game in the sense of gameplay and balancing that was ever released. And I'm not talking about taste in this case but about fans who checked the whole game frame by frame and know every "infinite" that's existing. I still love every Mortal Kombat game even though I'm pretty much the only fan of the series around my area I know and none of my friends like to play a few rounds because they never win.
fuck
I REALLY need a PS3
I do think that we will be satisfied. Ed Boon said that the MK9 engine will be pretty much the same as MK vs. DC with some changes. I really hope they will go back to LP, HP, LK, HK, RN, BLK times back + LK has to be the sweep again back + hk for chuck norris action and down + hp has to be the uppercut. FOR EVERY CHARACTER
I'm really a hardcore fan of the series and you can sell me anything with mortal kombat written on it.
I love the first 3 MK's equally just as you do. First one is just a classic and I love the old asia style that never came back like it was. It's basic as hell but had a huge impact on my childhood. I had the PC version of it. It was censored though which I didn't know. Some day on a lake (two years after I had the game!) some guy told me that there is blood in the game. "Shift - DIP". When Sub Zero ripped of my head for the first time I think something in me changed.
A few month later my father came back from work and had MK3 in his hands. I didn't even know there was MK II. I had to wait a few more years until I had the pleasure to play a good version (SNES sucks) of MKII because it was allmost impossible to get in germany (got banned a few weeks after its release!). With good version I mean Arcade. No homeport is as good as the arcade versions except Mk4 which sucked even more in the arcades.
