If you couldn't wait until sometime in July to see Predator in action for Mortal Kombat X then boy are you in luck. It looks like there is about 20 minutes or so of said gameplay out there in the wild that NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have yet to shut down in their tracks. Of course given my luck and timing by the time you are reading this I am sure the video has been hit with all of the usual leaked video flags. Hopefully you'll luck out and have a look at the new Mortal Kombat X DLC in action before that happens though. It is all chalked full of Predator action, fatalities, and brutalities that we will all be enjoying soon, hopefully, when the DLC descends on Mortal Kombat X in short time.
I won't hold you back for seeing this new Mortal Kombat X character gameplay in hopes it is still up while you are reading this. For those who may miss out I'll give you the break down just after the video so you get all the same Mortal Kombat X goodness too.
Mortal Kombat X — Predator Gameplay
Alright, so there we have Predator in Mortal Kombat X. Not only a look at the character but also a quick and very limited look at the three variations that we will be able to choose from when we finally get to de-cloak in Mortal Kombat X. Here's what I saw when it came to the variations but I hope that NetherRealm does a full on Kombat Kast to clear things up and show each in a better light. I'm sorry but this gameplay made Predator look like a very weak character to play in Mortal Kombat X against anyone who isn't set on the lowest difficulty setting for the match. More on that in a moment as here is what I saw as the variations.
- Hish-Qu-Ten — Looks to favor the laser canon
- Hunter — Looks to use more traps and gadgets to slow and kill
- Warrior — Looks to add a taunt of some sort to the mix and he takes off the mask
I am a bit set back on how sluggish Predator looks here in Mortal Kombat X as well as the lack of creativity that seems to be added in for the moves and finishers. There is even a huge lack of amazing fatality that is based on the original fatality that was based on Predator in the first place. What gives there? Did Warner Bros. Nerf it for licensing reasons or was there just too much of a rush to get the next Mortal Kombat X DLC out? Like I said, this could all be based on the player in question who captured the video but none the less outside of the Hunter variation the rest look very weak and only use enough of Predator's gear to try and fake a second and third variation for the character here in Mortal Kombat X.
I do like the fact that we see more of his blood on the screen though as the neon green stands out a lot more than any other's in Mortal Kombat X. We also can't be sure how Predator fully handles in Mortal Kombat X yet either as we are only getting to see this video and not the true pros at work or the DLC in hand. Hopefully we will get to see a true showing by NetherRealm here soon and when/if we do you can expect to see it all updated here and broken down. Until then let us discuss the new DLC for Mortal Kombat X in the comments and maybe we can salvage something from this poor display of a character and possible DLC. Hopefully…
