"Mortal Kombat 1?" Really? I'm getting pretty tired of this whole trend of really confusing reboot/sequel names that make it increasingly difficult to convey which actual game is being referred to. I kinda wish more games would take the Final Fantasy route and just own their ridiculously long sequel count.
Man, that's even dumber than I thought.
Its worse than you think, MK9 was a loose sequel to MK Armageddon, retelling the events of Mk1 & MK2 with minor twists
This is the second time in a decade NRS is doing a soft reboot/sequal
Were beginning to reach fate and kingdom hearts levels of naming conventions here
Someone needs to implement semantic versioning already.
