Mortal Kombat X vs 9 (MKX vs MK9) graphics comparison

Mortal Kombat X is the latest installment in the popular fighting franchise, which has just come to PC, PS4 and Xbox One with beautiful graphics, improved gameplay and more game modes. But does MKX is beautiful when compared to its predecessor, MK9? See the comparison.

For comparison, we used images captured directly from the games without any editing or manipulation. The screenshots show the game similar scenes, menus and other features. The images Mortal Kombat X will always be placed above. Screenshots of Mortal Kombat 9 will come soon after, below the new game images. We use the PS4 version for MK X since the game only released on Xbox 360 and PS3 in the second half of the year. MK 9 version used was the X360.

Gameplay

With the battles going on, it's easy to notice the evolution of Mortal Kombat X from the previous version. The game bet in bold colors and contrast to create beautiful surroundings. The character models are also much more detailed, and their animations are more fluid and convincing.

Scam like Fatalities and X-Ray Moves also took advantage of the power of consoles and PCs, and are most striking, beautiful and bloody. Another highlight is the scenarios, full of lighting effects, fire, water and other elements that make the look even richer.

Campaign

In the campaign cut scenes also show dramatic improvements over the MK9, starting with the faces and expressions of the characters, much more polished and neat.

Quality textures and better composition of the scenes also help to improve the visual impact of short films that mark the intervals between fights.

Menu

The Mortal Kombat X menu also changes from the previous version, focusing on a simple, minimalist look with many shadows and little color. The effect is nice, but not like much those who were enjoying the most lively and garish version of MK9.
