 "Mortal Kombat 8 to Use Unreal 3 Engine")
Ed Boon, the creator of the Mortal Kombat series is extremely impressed with the Unreal 3 engine and plans on using that very same engine for Mortal Kombat 8. Here’s what he said in an interview with magazine, Game Informer, “To me, when I saw Gears of War, I was like, ‘Holy shit! That’s the look that we’ve been talking about.’ Visually, that’s what we want to do.”
As far as gameplay goes, Boon claims that MK 8 will be unlike any other Mortal Kombat till date and it’ll be something totally new and fresh. “We’re not going to have three fighting styles, we’re not going to have the same punches and kicks and the same kind of control scheme. Everything is getting trashed. We’re reinventing everything from the ground up,” promised Boon.
Mortal Kombat 8 isn’t even in a playable state as of now but we’ll bring you more on the game as and when we hear anything.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
