MK9 | News & Discussion (Updated as news happens!)

fyi this was confirmed to be bullshit ages ago.

Article was posted just over a year ago?

yea it was an old article anyways, but it was confirmed very quickly to be false

DLC and expanded time to work on this game???

In that case WB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Midway

What?! Argh! All that detective work gone to waste![/sarcasm] …or was it?

It probably wouldn’t surprise any of us if Kang, Tsung, Jax, Jade and Cyrax are in this new MK. Still, that article was decent food for thought even if it proved to be false.

I’ve been watching compilations of fatalities from MK4 onward.
When I first saw the new fatalities of this game, I thought I liked them just because of camera angles. Turns out EVERYTHING is better. Concepts, gore, presentation… everything. They’re over the top in a GOOD way this time. The previous games were just fucking goofy with it (less MKD than all the rest). I just hope all the fatalities in MK9 keep the semi-realism we’ve seen so far.

I mean, seriously. Have any of you guys taken a look at the previous 3D games and just shuddered lately at how crappy the fatalities looked in comparison to the mere 3 we’ve seen from this game?

Whoa Rab wasn’t kidding, he really did put a great thread together.

This game is looking good so far.

Pretty much the same as the other ones though w/ shit quality.

Damn … Even at this terrible video quality I still cringed when I heard Mileena’s screams while she was having an … errrr … vaginectomy.

Scorpion’s ‘Descent to NetherRealm’ was pretty awesome

And that was a really sick combo from Kung Lao at 7:32. It seems like he used an EX Hat Throw and a corner uppercut. Wow , 44%-ish… That’s a lot of damage…

Anyway , thanx for this , Kryplixx

WOW. I thought they’d change up Kung Lao’s fatality somehow if there was a female involved. Nope.

So, what do you guys think they should do in terms of unlockables? I talked about fatality hints earlier, but what are you guys’ ideas?
I think classic music should be unlockable. If you do a certain number of fatalities with a MK2 character, you get the option of having the MK2 fatality theme play when you finish someone off.
I also think there should be hints for all secrets in general, to string someone along if they want to find things themselves instead of going to GameFAQs. The MK team keeps talking about creating a mystique with this game. I think that approach could help.

Yeah, good ideas. Maybe the ultimate kombat kode or something like that, could unlock a run button? :smiley:

jajajaaj we wish

Costed an EX bar, though. :slight_smile:

Btw, anyone who watched that vid…has anyone tried listening to the BGM of the stages? It’s easy to hear if you got headphones…but sounds like they’re remixing the classic themes. Remixed Dead Pool? WANT!

Meh , there’s probably gonna be a ‘krypt’ like feature that includes …[LIST]
[]Full Character BIOs
[
]‘Cooking with Scorpion’ Vid
[]The game’s trailers , which you probably already have watched over 8 million times waiting for f’ing ‘Spring 2011’ to come

[]10.000 koins to unlock EVEN MORE ugly , useless black & white concept art

[]Sexay illustrations that you’ll want as a poster in your room but have no idea how to ‘download’ from MK library and then spend a week searching around the interwebz for the same illustrations only to give up , frustrated

]An ‘Ed Boon rambling about random stuff’ vid
[]A beautiful guide inside NetherRealm studios , where all the magic happens , and all the serial killers / 1st degree murder convicts gather around to talk about fatality ideas
[
]Discarted fatality ideas , that had a very good reason to be discarted ( shitty concept , Inevitable outrage from church people if used)
[/LIST]

Ya , I know it used an ex bar , but 44% just by using an ex bar maaaaaaybe is a little too much .

Uh oh , come to think of it ,after the above video … that 60-70% damage from a combo into an X-ray seems VERY possible . -_-

And I hope that this game’s music is going to be epic and/or atmospheric.

Anyone but me notice that scorpion has an air throw? :smiley:

It looks to me like kung lao is the most finished character so far in this build.

I can’t wait to see how Kano will look

Hopefully like Rich’s Kano

I don’t really care for the silly extra mini games. But I did love Chess Kombat, that was pretty fun!
