Mortal Kombat has always been dumber than a 90s Jim Carrey movie, but the series did go through a period where it took itself a teensy bit too seriously. Fortunately, there's no danger of that occurring in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel Mortal Kombat X, as this absolutely hilarious trailer evidences.
In it, we finally get a proper look at returning kontestants [Sorry – Ed] Kung Lao and Kitana, complete with some of the stupidest sound bites this side of a Casio Keyboard. It's the moves that are most ridiculous, though, as the aforementioned Edenian princess finishes off her foe by cutting into their brain like butter.
The only disappointment is that four-armed fighter Goro has been tied up as a pre-order bonus, and you'll need to shop at the notoriously expensive GAME if you want to get access to him in the UK. It looks like those of you in North America will have a little more choice, as there's no specific store attached to the extra overseas.

I just got MK9 for Vita ,hope to see MKX on Vita too and I'm sure it will come soon after Home versions.
Try not to laugh? I did not find anything funny about this trailer as mentioned in the article. The game looks and sounds great! Looking forward to it.
I must've missed the hilarious parts because I didn't even bust a grin with the brutality this trailer dished out. The video was awesome with excellent sound effects and music. It left me cringing in all honesty and I can't wait to have a stab at it
This is looking amazing
That was pretty cool...to bad for kano though lol.
Ridiculous? Yes. Dumb, stupid? No.
If there's something laughable here, it's this article.
Sammy, you sound kinda disrespectful of a franchise that many love and respect, including myself. I'd add an editorial note at the bottom of this article.
@ownag3 - He does the same thing with Borderlands.
Geez, what's with the hurt feelings?
Newsflash: Mortal Kombat IS stupid. It IS dumb. And it IS hilarious.
...But I say that in an affectionate way, like Sammy. He wasn't disrespecting the franchise - just stating the obvious. I mean, this is the same series that has babalities, friendships, and comical characters (or should I say kharacters?) like Meat, Mokap and the "Toasty!" guy.
Other games like Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul Calibur and DOA have ridiculous stuff in them too - it's basically fighting game tradition 😉
Personally, I'm excited about this game. That said, I'm going to wait for the inevitable "komplete" version that'll bundle in the four/six/whatever downloadable characters they'll end up charging people for.
love mortal kombat since i was 6
geez... can't understand why people love such violent game. Yet they are the one to say Japanese games are weird....
I don't find anything funnie with this trailer absolutely nothing, we should finish u in comments above us 😂😂😂😂😂💥🔨
Looks awesome i won't be buying it from GAME though
The game looks fantastic. I think the sounds good too! And i did not think it was funny 😕
@Kage_88 : well said sir !
The question is, will the multiplayer be region locked (ie you can't play against a person outside your region online) like Injustice? This will be the most important factor deciding whether I buy this at release or not.
Hope I can play it online cause with MK9 I couldn't.😠
This article was bad, very bad. It sounded way too harsh. Many first person-shooting games have excessive violence nowadays. It`s not like Mortal Kombat X will have pornographic material. The Mortal Kombat series has always had a funny, comical side, of course the Street Fighter series has always been allot more serious. I`m guessing you always preferred the Street Fighter series allot more and therefore always criticized the series harshly or was always biased against the Mortal Kombat series, maybe. The Mortal Kombat series has always been controversial of course, but you should at least give it a bit more credit as it will help raise the sales for the Sony PlayStation 4. This article did sound disrespectful and unfair. Ironically I personally abhor the stupid comedy programmes there are nowadays and comedy movies. I have always loved the comical content of the Mortal Kombat series, have never of thought it as "stupid" or "silly" . Mortal Kombat X is coming! and I won`t be ready for it.
