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

Sooo how many days are left?

and I wonder if Boon and co are pissed.

Hasn’t been much of a reaction out of them at all, actually, which seems to indicate that they’ve accepted there’s no real way to control these leaks after all the hyping they’ve been doing. I imagine they’re a bit miffed, but honestly these leaks have jacked up the level of hype considerably, so they can’t be too upset.

They are pissed, but what are you gonna do. In the day of the internet it’s hard to keep a secret.

All things considered I think they’ve been doing a pretty commendable job keeping the lid on things.

Speaking of which, how are we feeling about [media=youtube]6y6qUH6tUK4"[/media]

I really like the bass-heavy style they’ve gone with, it really captures the brutality and “gritty” feel of MK well, just as the rockin’ techno of the SSFIV and MvC3 themes captures the essence of those games quite nicely.

nah man. Scorpion is a fucking raging, pissed of mother fucker that had his family murdered and he just wants to fucking KILL. Saying FUCK doesn’t really seem out of character at all.

+1 for GET THE FUCK OVER HERE randomly coming out when he does EX Spear.

Exactly. no console port tops arcade version in anything for MK lol :coffee:

all arenas SPOILERS

Gah-Damn. Where are all these leaks even coming from? Was the official MK site hit or something?

But there’s at least one arena missing there oO The armory I think. You can see it here [media=youtube]zccKSXUOp-g[/media] at around 06-07 seconds as scorpion uppercuts subs ass and at around 13 seconds while sub zero freezes scorpion in place.
One of my favorite stages thus far. Hope it’s really in the game and not just in the promotional videos ):

They all look great, and I’m surprised how many arenas were designed.

they’re absolutely mind blowing… all of them are great to look at
there’s no annoying Volcanic Rim or bland In-land Jungle stuff there :smiley:

Did the mk9 demo drop today for live?

Interesting; are there maybe secret stages just like secret characters?

Doesn’t XBL content come out on Wednesdays?

tuesdays

Ah, I knew the marketplace updates on Wednesdays. Didn’t know demos were different.

Also, one of the things that’s nice about XBL is you can browse (and buy) every single thing on XBL via the web page.

No demo this week:

Game Demos - Xbox.com

DLC, add-ons, full game DL’s, etc are usually Tuesdays, as Wednesdays are for full on XBLA games. Demos can really be about anytime, as ive seen news demos pop up on Fridays, Mondays and Sundays before. They put those up whenever they are told to i guess.

Well I dunno about that. It’s kinda silly no? oO Hidden characters are ok since u just have to unlock them and then u can play them. And there’s no problem at fighting someone who have already unlocked the character. But how do you make a secret arena? I mean if one have unlocked it and the other dude didn’t that means that you cannot choose it or smth? I dunno it sounds kinda awkward :smiley:
And I mean I don’t see much point in making secret arenas cuz they really all look great and their just meant to be there from the start to diversify the game (not quite in the same way as hidden characters). Anyways we just have to wait and see. Here’s just hoping that that arena is in the game. It really looks good :smiley:
