ИГРА

Mortal Kombat 1 — свежий взгляд на легендарную серию файтингов, которая с давних пор завоевала сердца поклонников. В новом проекте от NetherRealm Studios игроков ждут старые герои в новом обличии, усовершенствованные механики и поразительный уровень детализации, возможный благодаря мощи движка Unreal Engine 4.

 

Подробная История Разработки

After the end of support for Mortal Kombat 11, many thought that new horizons were ahead for NetherRealm Studios. Starting from the moment of information leaks on social networks and ending with official announcements, the atmosphere of anticipation became more and more intense.

 

Technology and Graphics

Unreal Engine 4 is certainly the key to high-quality graphics and lively animations.

• Detail : Thanks to UE4, players can see an amazing level of detail - from beads of sweat on characters' faces to reflections in pools of blood.

• Combat physics : The new physics system makes every blow feel tangible, and combinations of blows more realistic and spectacular.

• Open World : Despite the traditional linearity of fighting games, MK1 adds open world elements in which players can explore the Earth Kingdom, Netherland, and other famous locations.

 

Gameplay and Mechanics

• Variety of Heroes : 24 main characters and additional ones to be released later. Each of them has unique fighting styles and move sets.

• Cameo Fighters : This new mechanic allows you to call another character into battle to perform special moves.

• Training Mode : For beginners, there is an improved training mode in which you can hone your skills before serious battles.

 

Multiplayer

With the release of the game in early access, a multiplayer mode was launched. This allowed us to collect feedback from players and improve character balance.

 

Community and Mods

Thanks to the support of modifications from the developers, players can add their own levels, characters and even new mechanics.

 

Conclusion

Mortal Kombat 1, even in early access, is already showing its enormous potential. Combining classic elements of the series with innovative solutions, the game promises to be a real hit among fans of fighting games.

DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES

Minimum graphics settings reduce detail and disable many graphical effects to improve performance, while maximum settings enable all available effects and provide the highest level of detail and quality.

 Our video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080 , 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 with maximum graphics quality settings. The game has a lock of 60 frames.

We will soon add all video cards, game protection has a limited number of activations.

GPU TEST

In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

At a resolution of 1920x1080, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 2060 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of  the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 2060 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 2060 solutions .

When using AM D video cards, Ryzen 3 3100 or Core i 3 10100 processors showed an acceptable rate of at least 25 frames per second  , and solutions at the Ryzen 3 3100 or Core i 3 10100 level can provide an FPS rate of at least 60 frames per second . 

The game can load up to 12 streams. Maximum efficiency uses up to 8 threads.

RAM TEST

The test was carried out on the basic configuration of Core i 9 13900K with 32 GB DDR5 6400 MHz pre-installed memory. All used RAM was taken as an indicator. The RAM test for the entire system was carried out on various video cards without launching third-party applications (browsers, etc.). In the graphics, you can add and remove any resolutions and video cards as desired.

At a resolution of  1920x1080 ,  the RAM consumption for video cards with 8 gigabytes is 17 gigabytes , with 12 gigabytes 17 gigabytes , with 16 gigabytes 17 gigabytes, with 24 gigabytes 17 gigabytes .

At a resolution of  2560x1440  , RAM consumption for video cards with 8 gigabytes is 17 gigabytes , with 12 gigabytes 17 gigabytes , with 16 gigabytes 17 gigabytes , with 24 gigabytes 17 gigabytes .

At a resolution of  3840x2160 ,  the RAM consumption for video cards with 8 gigabytes is 17 gigabytes , with 12 gigabytes 17 gigabytes , with 16 gigabytes 17 gigabytes, with 24 gigabytes 17 gigabytes .
