Yes, good luck!
I just ordered the MK11 complete edition. Plan on checking it out not long after it gets here.

For fans of the franchise, how do you feel about yesterday's announcement trailer for Mortal Kombat 1?

Happy to hear about the new game :) I can't believe how close it is to its release already! Has it really been 30 years of this franchise already?!

The trailer looked great but for those that haven't finished the main MK11 story mode, the trailer is going to be super confusing.
As an MK fan since the start, there are notable missing characters -- Sonya and Kano. That tells me they'll either be announced before release, or will end up being DLC characters at some point. In their stead, are Kitana and Mileena... characters not introduced until the 2nd game. Time will tell what happens, but I believe a Kontent pack is already confirmed to be adding more fighters into the roster. Hence, why I'll wait for a Komplete version later down the road.
Some constructive criticism of MK11 and hopes for the new game start with the way the story of MK11 was handled. it's essentially a CG movie with fights in-between. Depending on where you had to stop gaming for the session, you may end up stuck having to re-watch un-skippable portions of the story... and they are long. If they plan to continue with this method of storytelling, they need to add more checkpoints within the story so people aren't stuck watching 5-10 min of movie to continue to the next fight and progress.
Next criticism was the way the Krypt was handled in MK11. I didn't like the randomness. It felt like Netherrealm's way of creating loot boxes. There was no way to know what you were getting, making the Krypt essentially useless. Even if you put in extra money into buying Koins or whatever, it still made it impossible to know what you would get.
I'm hoping that Netherrealm gets creative again in relation to extra modes. I would enjoy a call back to the Deception days with Konquest and MK Chess modes. While MK11's story is written the best, I think the more open running around and finding chests was a welcome diversion from just fighting.
I'll eventually be picking up the new game. In the meantime, I still have my Sega Game Gear version of MK1. ;)
