Now that we’ve all throw in our achievement posts, PLEASE KEEP ALL MK9 RELATED NEW IN THIS THREAD PLEASE!! Thanks fellas!! :coffee:

no Robo Homo in MK9 :sad:

Yeah. It seems like only human smoke will be in. But I am interested in Cyber Sub.

Hey Tim, are your worries for the gameplay gone? If not, what issues are there for you?

Human smoke?! YES!!! Sorry, but ive seen enough of Robo smoke in the series so the ability to play as human smoke sounds like so much more fun to me.

Even assuming NRS is trying their hardest (like they appear to be), that doesn’t mean the gameplay will be good. Their past convinces me they just don’t know that much about high quality gameplay. On a pure media level, there’s still almost 20 characters we haven’t seen in enough action to tell if they’re broken.

But to their credit, I am liking the how current gameplay looks. I hope they release more vids of straight gameplay alongside their current trailers and such.

And by the way, Mugen, I don’t know for sure that Human Smoke will be in. I’m just assuming because he was one of the original hidden characters from MK2. Now, MK3 characters (like Rain) they can flake on. But I feel in my gut they aren’t going to forget any MK2 characters. Especially “iconic” hidden ones.

Havent played it myself…yet, but they have taken a LOT of right steps to make sure the game will turn out great, or at least at a good starting point for the general public to get started with.

and FTR, Robo Homo is meh dude in UMK3 :cry:

Tuesday the internet will explode when the demo drops. Shit, with the guys they give you I’m almost satisfied since Scorpion and Sub Zero were my favorites from MK & MKII.

They should have Kratos come out in the demo and just one shot you, or hit you with a 100% combo, it would be funny. Developers miss out on stuff like that, fan service.

360 version can have Stuntman come out.:badboy:

Is there any Raiden gameplay? I coulda sworn he got confirmed a while back yet I can’t find anything on the guy.

Gotta say his new moves look pretty…dangerous

1 more day. 1 more day that will prove one way or the other whether this game is worth a damn or not. im so F’n pysched and full of hype you cant believe. I grew up with this just as much as i grew up with Happ sticks (which reminds me that i still need to put a damn bat top on my JLF.). i really hope its good, the MK series could really use a game that puts it back in the spotlight…IN A POSITIVE MANNER!!!

As much as I think the game will ultimately disappoint, I’m actually jealous of people on PSN Plus right now. My hate for you guys is rich and buttery enough to slosh over popcorn.

Here’s to hoping the demo goes a little toward proving my cynicism wrong.

dont you have friends with PSN Plus accounts? why dont you bum it off them? thats what im doing.

I have no friends with PSN Plus, and wouldn’t know how to bum it off them if I did.

im willing to bet money that Cyber SubZero will be a Xbox360 exclusive
there are 26 standard character slots all filled up with the combined MK2, UMK3 roster + Kratos & Quan Chi
the 2 remaining slots are DLC and it makes no sense for an unlockable character to be DLC.

you just ask for their email and password for PSN. i only stress doing this with people you know and play with alot (although the person in question could simply just change the password on the account and lock them out.). basically you do that and get your desired demo or whatnot and then logout of their account. it should still be downloading for you.

if a mod or anybody has a problem with what ive just posted, just delete it. wont bother me none.

does anyone know if the demo includes online play? or any other details?

from what ive gathered it has Scorpion, Sub Zero, Mileena, and Johnny Cage in single player and 2 player vs (not sure if tag team is in it) and apparently some Challenge Tower stuff in there. i dont think itll have online, but i say this only cause the few fighting game demos ive played this generation have never had it, but that doesnt mean this couldnt.

No online play.
1 vs 1 play against CPU or another player locally.
4 characters
Scorpion
Sub Zero
Johnny Cage
Mileena

I heard you cannot game share with PSN+??
