Well, I saw the trailer and of course the small gameplay demo of the game….(I made a post a few days ago on the subject)…it’s looking like an incredible title. IGN sat down with Ed Boon and had a small discussion on the direction of the title.

He describes the storyline as more of a Mortal Kombat meets Back to the Future Esque type of thing. According to IGN, “So we’re kind of doing a Back to the Future type of thing, where Raiden is about to be killed by Shao Kahn, and just before he delivers the last blow, he sends a mental message to his earlier self, so the camera rewinds back to Mortal Kombat 1..”

It’s kind of an enlightening type of thing that may change the course of the future for the kombatants. It kinda reminds me of when future Trunks came back to tell Goku and the Z Warriors of the impending crisis with the androids. Pretty interesting.

^IGN takes a look at the details of the trailer and some of the level details that are taken from older Kombat games. Additionally, they make some brief predictions on the direction taken for fatalities and a possible new combo system.
