Arcade version looks infinitely better. Models have much greater amount of polygons, more detailed textures and effects, fog, rain. All home ports have the same shitty low poly models.

I watched much better quality vids but it's hell to find them.

Someone needs to confirm immediately if the UMK3 online stage rotation glitch from the original XBLA October 2006 release has been fixed.
Filters in action
and "cabinet"
UMK3 secret characters are not playable from the beginning and since new game release and germany is not that good combination to test online performance, I sadly cannot deliver experience. But you can choose between friendly and ranked matches, and private/public, but there seems to be a 2player limit.
UMK3 movelist even lists chaincombos and is usable(at least offline) during finishing phase.

Wait..wait... Mortal Kombat Gold was MK4 Gold? If so, my mind is Kurt Cobain blown.
*Edit after google search: Blown! Whoa, I played this game for years and hardly had touched MK4. I had it on PC but got a Dreamcast shortly after and got MK Gold a year or so later. Man, I had literally no idea.

Thanks arit! Painted 1 and 2 look exactly the same. I still can't decide which of those filters looks the best. I'll probably have to just see it for myself.

Played a couple games of UMK3 online, and the lag was pretty bad. Is it just me?

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Why the fuck are they not unlocked from the start? And is this the same bullshit with the original XBLA port where they dodn't stay unlocked?

What's the deal with this on PC? No Steam? 
If it's like their DS port, they will stay unlocked after you unlock them Part of the "thing" from the arcade was the use of thsoe codes. Granted, on this case you need 2 controllers; while in the DS one 1.AnEternalEnigma said:
In any case, so anyone could give a try. Choose the first tower and lose the match. Then (remember 2 controllers):
#1: [High Punch - Low Punch - Block - Low Kick - High Kick ] #2 [High Punch - Low Punch - Block - Low Kick - High Kick ]

Hey arit:
Is there a proper button config now in the games?
Are there training modes?
and....
MK4 is better than all the PS2 MK's

That's good.arit said:
It's wild how Capcom and Netherrealm can get it right in their download games, but not their bigger retail ones.
The CRT version looks better than in Third Strike, but still not as glorious as Final Fight's. The net is filled with high-res-enough scans and pics of arcade faces. Should be easy as pie for NRS and Capcom to get in touch and use those in their games... I bet some guys would allow them to use them for free...
Such a wasted opportunity.

This dude is streaming it live. Every online game he's played as been a lag fest.

Not looking good.

Yeah, but impressions from people that are not streaming the game are also welcome. Some matches he played had a lot of lag, others didn't; so there's obviously something more than just the netcode sucking. (Unless he's using 2 spearte internet connections one to play the game and one to stream)
Then again, most will say that it's a lag-fest and they want their $10 back.

On that stream he had no problems doing Sub's fatality and moving around; then again the game's slow per se so it's hard to tell.GrayFoxPL said:
But he seems to be changing games constantly; so it also seems changing games is relatively easy and he just goes back to the online lobbies and looks for a match.

Doesn't sound bad.
Can you see all 3 games in lobby or is it individuall lobby per game?
If this doesn't come out tomorrow in euro psn I'm gonna choke a bitch.

Visually speaking, each game looks great. I'm glad they at least included some filters, and I'll be using the one with scan-lines probably forever. The CRT display mode is also appreciated, though as some have already said, it's quite exaggerated. I also wish they could have included the original bezel art for each one, too.
Now, on the audio front, there are some terrible issues in all three games. Voices cut off too short (i.e. Scorpion/Human Smoke in UMK3 will just say "Get" when the spear connects), music stops suddenly, and there are many incorrect effects happening in certain spots. This needs major attention by Other Ocean/NR.
And the online, from what little I have played of it, is thus far quite bad. Lots o' lag, for sure.
Pretty disappointing, honestly. It seems like these games are cursed to never see a proper 'arcade perfect' emulation execution. I was going to pick this up on XBLA as well at some point, but if they don't fix the audio and online problems eventually, I certainly won't be double-dipping.
