Tempting. Really preferred playing SFIV on PC with much faster load times, and the PC needs some more good fighters coming to it.

I've enjoyed MK in the past, but maybe I'm getting old. I've hesitated getting it because it is starting to seem a little gory for my tastes. But maybe NR will port(or have ported) Injustice too, and I would be into that.

Ooooooohhh....
Won't have Kratos. Might doubledip eventually though. Good and fun game. Best use of the MK mechanics yet.
Crap. Mortal Kombat was the first game I got for my PS3 last week because I was perfectly sure that I'd never get a chance to play it on PC, which will remain my favourite gaming platform. Oh well. -.-
The game now has a price and release date listed at Gamestop

http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/mortal-kombat-komplete-edition/109690

$29.99, August 6th 2013.

mistermumbles: Coming this summer. I'm surprised it took them this long; using the Unreal 3 engine, one would think this should have been relatively easy to port. Actually, I was starting to think it'd never come to PC. Let's just hope it won't use the craptacular GfWL.
Wasn't GfWL abandoned by Microsoft?
GFWL? Not yet.

Gears of War PC
Mortal KOMBAT Arkade Collection
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Requirre GFWL.

High Voltage seems to be a company known for porting games to different platforms.

Don't rule High Voltage out, they're a more capable studio now than they used to be and good at handling/optimizing tech. Run of the mill shooter aside, what they did on Wii with Conduit 2 was superb.

Microsoft did retire the XNA tools that a lot of indie games were made with, but GfWL is still alive and... well, alive. :(

Actually I am pretty sure I read somewhere they retired GFWL, using the Windows Store in its place now.
Oh yay, there's even more region locking BS with that thing.

The servers are still alive for some games (although some servers have already been disabled, such as Halo 2), but if i recall correctly Microsoft doesn't offer it anymore for future games.

True, it's amazing to see how High Voltage pushed the Wii's weak hardware. The Counduit 1 and 2 look amazing for a console that used hardware from the previous gen.

If it makes you feel better, I just discovered the PC version is an absolutely dire port, with a laundry list of crippling bugs, incompatibilities and performance issues. For god sake it will whinge and fail to even run if it doesn't like your monitor's aspect ratio! The concept of 'adding borders to compensate' is too much for this game apparently.

It gave me so much grief trying to get it to run on both of my systems that I just picked up the 360 version instead... and here I was sticking up for High Voltage.
