New reveal tomorrow. Most likely new character(s).
Mortal Kombat X

The very last second the video is has the sound of people reacting from Evo. It's really loud. Headphone users beware. There's also a bit of a buzz at 0:19. When a better trailer is given, I'll replace it.
Raiden! You got so much shit to clean from the events of MK9! Here's a mop!
That fatality tho! And I'm liking how they present the individual sets.

Given his track record I'd leave well enough alone if I were him.

Oh well… Seems that I will again have to buy it to one of my friend who have one of the console it can be played on so I can force him to play with me and eventually borrow the console and game from him for a while to play the story mode... I say "again" because the same thing happened for the last MK... What can I say, I'm NOT gonna buy consoles for less than 10 games interesting for me when I can borrow it from a friend. Anyway... So far, it seem very cool. Can't wait to see the other characters but so far, D'Vorah is already one of my fav. She make me think of a darker member of the Aburame clan (A clan of bug-users who use their own bodies as hives for their bugs, in Naruto). She might become the second female character I use regularly, the other being Sindel. My others usual main characters are Stryker, Reptile, Kano and Baraka so I really hope that at least one of them come back.

It's coming out for PS3 and 360 too. :happy:
And Stryker is my bae.

Not surprised about Raiden being revealed, but I'm very impressed with the three sets they gave him.

Yeah, but I only have a Wii and a 3DS, so…

Oh. Well you mentioned having played the previous game, so I kind of assumed that you had the other two. Sorry.
-
Hooley shait! Loving it to the bottom of my heart! Raiden looks great! The characters speed was increased in the right amount, and I really like this less colorful style, quite elegant if you ask me.
It took me so long to play MK9 that I'm quite obsessed with this universe again (I even re-watched Defensors of the Realm –- nostalgia goggles were broken, btw)!
Do you guys think they will go with a Regular and then a Komplete edition again? They sure will, won't they? I don't know if i'll be able to hold my horses until the better/fixed/all-cast edition appears, but I think it's such a stupid thing to do. Oh well, sowwy for mumbling guys :ccc
-
I personally can pretty much hold out for any title these days and then buy it a couple of months later for a much cheaper price or in a new edition with more stuff.^^

Question: Why do people call Raiden an idiot for what happened in MK9? I've played it myself and Raiden never came off as particularly stupid in it. But the fandom like to pick on him for it for some reason.

He made some questionable decisions all in an effort to prevent dark future his future self alluded to. But a number his actionsboth directly and indirectly pretty much result in a lot of unintended consequences. The ultimate consequence of which leaves only him,Sonya, & Johnny Cage left alive to face down Quan Chi & Shinnok.
Plus there was that one time he blew himself up to stop a malevolent being from being unleashed on all the realms (pre-reboot) but accomplished nothing short of killing Shang Tsung & Quan Chi (who had allied with him temporarily) and leading to himself essentially becoming an anti-hero. Who brings dead people back to life and makes deals with people he knows are clearly evil for no discernible reason.
-
Question: Why do people call Raiden an idiot for what happened in MK9? I've played it myself and Raiden never came off as particularly stupid in it. But the fandom like to pick on him for it for some reason.
For two reasons:
a) The timeline was completely fucked up because of his meddling. Originally:
MK1: Liu Kang wins tournament. Raiden doesn't do anything other than advise. Sub-Zero (becomes Noob Saibot) dies.
MK2: Liu Kang wins tournament. Raiden doesn't do anything other than advise. Technically nobody dies, and everyone who does is revived immediately after.
MK3: Liu Kang defeats Shao Kahn. Raiden doesn't do anything other than advise. Johnny Cage (revived), Kano (faked death), Sheeva (100% dead), Shang Tsung (revived by Quan Chi), and Smoke (becomes an evil ghost) die.In fact, saving Johnny Cage is what caused everyone to die in the MK3 portion. Motaro was supposed to kill Johnny, however, Motaro's death lead to Shao Kahn giving Sindel all of Motaro and Shang Tsung's power. Raiden then goes to talk to the Elder Gods (who rarely help ANYONE) and brings Liu Kang with him (for no discernible reason). Everyone dies except Johnny and Sonya while they're gone.
b) Most importantly: Why in god's name did Future Raiden send such a shitty message? "He must win." That couldn't be more vague if they tried. We couldn't just say, "Hey, Shao Kahn is going to try and take over Earthrealm without the usage of Mortal Kombat. Let him, and the Elder Gods will help you imprison him forever, preventing a great catastrophe." Granted, this creates drama and a story, but it's so dumb.
Not to mention, it doesn't prevent Armageddon. Armageddon is basically going to happen no matter what. It just prevent Shao Kahn from being the victor (unless Shao Kahn escapes from the Elder Gods, which would be difficult but possible).
I hate Armageddon so much.

German magazine leaked that
! Kano is the new kombatant
!
! -
[hide]Apparently there's a lot more info in the magazine that's been translated. Honestly, I would take these with a grain of salt, but some of them sound likely:
-Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, and Liu Kang will all be playable.
-Johnny and Sonya are the protagonists of the main storyline.
-Sub-Zero is NOT Kuai Liang. The interview also emphasizes that Noob Saibot is a separate character and that Kuai becoming a cyborg DID happen.
-Some of the variations of each character is meant to emphasize the characters at different ages. (This will probably make more sense with other characters.)
-Guest character confirmed as DLC. Who it is is still unknown.[/hide]Also, NRS released
. It's basically Raiden's trailer, but Boon reveals something interesting: Kotal Kahn is the new ruler of Outworld and Shao Kahn's successor. -
[hide]Liu Kang[/HIDE]
! Hopefully not as a zombie this time
[hide]-Sub-Zero is NOT Kuai Liang. The interview also emphasizes that Noob Saibot is a separate character and that Kuai becoming a cyborg DID happen.[/hide]
! Given the history of the Lin Kuei another character taking the name of "Sub-Zero" makes a fair bit of sense.
-Guest character confirmed as DLC. Who it is is still unknown.
Since Injustice had Scorpion in it I'd assume this would have a DC comics representative in it. As a middleground of sorts to avoid what happened with Kratos in the last game.
! Kotal Kahn is the new ruler of Outworld and Shao Kahn's successor.
! Gee with Outworld having a new successor to Shao Khan's rule I wonder who the Edenians have on the throne…...Unless Mileena's using her unfinished looks to masquerade as Kitana

All I know is, ever since MK9, Boon has wanted Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal. Sony denied them that option last time, and forced them to use Kratos (who is 100% confirmed to NOT be returning). We COULD get a DC character, but I think we're getting someone from the video game world. Or horror movie world (but from my understanding, Jason Voorhees might be out of the question due to legal reasons).

[hide]Mileena's done it before, so I wouldn't be surprised.
And if it's not her, it could either be Rain, Tanya, or an undead Kitana being controlled by Quan Chi. I know Vogel has been wanting to write an evil Kitana for a long time.[/hide]

Didn't know Boon thought that a character introduced all the way back in 1995 was still relevant in 2011
We COULD get a DC character
Only character I could see them using next to Joker would be Deathstroke.
But hopefully whoever they include won't require Neatherrealm to tweak the fatalities done to them like what was done with Kratos.

He's Ed Boon. He loves the irrelevant shit from the 80s and 90s.

Explains why he looks like he stepped out of the last stretch of the last century.
-

Well he clearly knows better than you, Buddy. Sweet Tooth in a MK game would be hilarious.
Also, these past several posts have been breaking my mind with the implication that there's actually some sort of plot to the MK games, that people follow, no less.

! You know, I honestly think that Liu Kang is gonna be evil in this installment.

Want to learn more about the lore of MK? History? Families? Romance? Rivalries? Wars? Realms? Species? Characters? You've come to the right place. The lore of Mortal Kombat is one of the richest lakes of the fighting game genre, and it is my bath water. Name a character and I could write you at least five paragraphs on them.

Which Friendship finishers are canonical to the MK lore?

Not like it'd be the first time.

It's Batman, it's always gonna be Batman.

Well he was kinda being beaten to death at the time by Shao Khan, yeah he could've phrased it better like "Shao Khan must win during Earth invasion to save us all'
-
It's Batman, it's always gonna be Batman.
Yeah for his fatality he can slap someone upside the head and tell them his parents are dead.

You stinker.
And actually, Foolio is 100% correct.
-
Kano Kano Bo-Bano, Banana-fanna Fo-Fano, Fee-Fi-Mo Mano!
-
Thanks for the trailer!!
My God, Kano is brutal in this game! O_O
-
Oh yeah! Kano is back, baby! Now, tell me that Badass Cop Striker will be playable even after the events of the last game and I'll be a happy fangirl…

Yes! Welcome to the "My Future Husband is Stryker" club! We have cake and pizza!
-
Still no Reptile -.-

Still no Reptile -.-
We're 8 100% confirmed characters in, and they plan for at least 26. Grab a chair and something to eat, cause the reveal process is nice and slow.

I know… But I need my boy Reptile. I still have a dream about a "new" Reptile... Like the son of Reptile and some human chick. Bringing back Human Reptile
-
Kano is looking awesome! I can't get tired of the fluidity of the movements in the new game, damn! they are hard at it!
just crossing fingers to Rain to show up at front, instead of being a DLC characters. He is my fav ninja.

Oh… You're not going to like the interview I'm about to post... :(
**-Story confirmed to take place in the distant future of 25 years after MK9, but it will go back and forth between different timelines.
-Boon mentions that many descendants will meet their ancestors (ie Johnny Cage/Sonya meeting Cassie). There will also be situations where characters from the past will meet characters from the future (he used Raiden, Kano and Sub-Zero has examples, which brings FURTHER questions over Sub-Zero).
-Rain is said to be ‘less likely’. Whether that means he will be less likely in the main game or DLC is unclear.
-Boon mentions the idea of Mortal Kombat vs _____. He mentions MK vs SF, stating he wishes he could do it. However, they currently have no plans for an MK versus game.
-An ‘-ality’ is returning. This could mean Brutality, Friendship, Animality, or Babality. Take note that IGN shows Kitana performing her Animality, but that doesn’t mean anything. Boon states that it will currently remain secret for now.**
I don't know if this means that Rain won't be in MKX, or this is Boon trying to fuck with us by saying "Rain won't be DLC, but he'll be in the main roster."
Plus, there's the possibility of Rain having a descendant.

New returning "-ality" is exciting. Contrary to the blurb you quoted, I'm assuming they mean ON TOP of the Babality, which was already resurrected. I'm also assuming Friendship doesn't count as an "-ality" for obvious reasons. But really any of them would be great. I would be super excited to see a new take on Brutalities. Animalities would also be awesome but it's the type of thing that already sometimes gets turned into a normal Fatality.
-
C'MON UNIVERSE, Y DO U DO THAT TO MEH?
I-I just…really, such a brutal response to my wishes!
my heart is in pieces.
crossing fingers for his descendant to be a mix between him and Kitana
And I would love a fresh take on Brutalities! Fast paced with daring choreographies...something among those lines...
-
@.access:
I can't get excited with new MK instalments. I mean, the last one was insane, but before what was the last good one? MK3?
I hope they manage to keep the last game level, but I will always approach new MK games with MUCH cautious (or "complete prejudice").Lol you can't get excited yet you think the last one was good? This logic makes no sense.
-
I call it memory.
-
@.access:
I call it memory.
Also notice the fact that the 'last good MK game' before MK9 was MK3, right? Everything from MK4 to MKvsDC was 3D combat. We're back to 2D again.
I don't think Deadly Alliance was a bad game, though.
-
As I believe I said earlier, despite the massive bugs and sloppiness of MK4, I enjoyed it for where it tried to go and the use of items/weapons which seem to be re-visited now for X. Also I assume by MK3 you mean Ultimate MK3 / MK Trilogy. Deadly Alliance was fun as well. The subsequent games not so much. But it seems the fighting stance stuff introduced in DA is also now being revamped. Although part of what was so awesome was being able to change stances mid-battle, and weapon stance being its own thing.
-
I don't think MK4 is a 'good game', but I enjoy it regardless. It's a ton of fun and probably the funniest of the franchise.
Deception had problems, but I enjoyed the story, returning characters, and Puzzle Kombat. Puzzle Kombat is a blessing.
Not fond of Armageddon or vsDC.
-
AH! After 10,000 years, we have a character reveal! It's time to play as Quan Chi!
So it looks like the characters who died in MK9 ((Kung Lao, Kabal, Stryker, Jax, Sub-Zero/Kuai Liang, Smoke, Jade, Kitana, Nightwolf, and Sindel) ) are indeed dead and under Quan Chi's control.
-
AH! After 10,000 years, we have a character reveal! It's time to play as Quan Chi!
Well it wasn't that long they revealed Goro is coming back…as DLC.
-
I think Quan's warlock style is gonna be hella fun to use! XD
-
I assume that I had mixed feelings towards this video. Like, ok, he is going to be a major plot point now? So the dead are still dead. I can live with that (bye bye, Rain. Hello Shinnok! MK4 all over again ).
The 'Sorcerer' play style looks a bit too equal with Kotal Kahn's Blood God buff/debuff style; the 'Warlock' seems pretty solid, though. I liked both the aesthetic and the way the combos were made. The 'Summoner' was a bit of a let down, since he appeared on a Hellish Gogoat, I was assuming a Bayonetta vibe on this style…only to receive Flame Zubats...I'm disappointed. The Fatality more than made up for it, since it's really graphic and has a cinematic feeling.
So, as I said earlier, totally mixed feelings, haha. -
Quan Chi having an army of dead heroes is probably the best thing that's ever happened to him. I mean, MK4's bad guys consisted of Shinnok, Quan Chi, Tanya (who betrayed them both), Reptile (who said and did nothing), Baraka (who said and did nothing), and Mileena (who didn't care about what was going on with Shinnok or Quan Chi). I love those characters, granted, but for a story arc of Shinnok trying to take over Earthrealm, Outworld, and destroy the Elder Gods? That's a pretty small Rogue's Gallery.
Not to mention, Jarek was there to help the heroes, despite being a Black Dragon. After the world was saved, Jarek tried to be evil again and fell off a cliff for his misdeeds (much do great hilarity). And Reiko… Man, ain't nobody knows what the fuck Reiko wants.
Well it wasn't that long they revealed Goro is coming back…as DLC.
I'm fine with him as DLC, but… that was the most underwhelming reveal ever. "Here's a picture! See you in a month!"
