Mortal Kombat 4

Le jeu

Mortal Kombat 4 on the PlayStation (PSX), released in 1997, marked a major shift for the series as it was the first Mortal Kombat game to move from 2D sprites into fully 3D polygon-based graphics. The PSX version delivered the arcade experience fairly well, with all the fast-paced combat, fatalities, and new mechanics intact. It introduced weapon-based combat, where fighters could pull out unique weapons during battle, adding a new layer of strategy. The roster featured classics like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, and Liu Kang, alongside newcomers such as Quan Chi, Shinnok, and Fujin. While the graphics looked dated compared to other 3D fighters of the time like Tekken or Soulcalibur, Mortal Kombat 4 stood out for keeping the brutal identity of the series alive with its violent finishers and dark tone. On PSX, it became a popular entry for fans eager to see Mortal Kombat’s leap into the 3D era. PSX
