That's good news. I think the outfits will be unlocked in-game rather than DLC. Boon has stated they aren't doing on-disk DLC and the klassic outfits are clearly in the game (in the Challenge Tower).

Jades Victory Pose. Personally, I was expecting more of a "Crouch and stand up rapidly while standing" over this, but meh, whatever.

Most 'exclusives' are either not exclusive or will come out later on as DLC. Gamestop just likes to say that they offer 'exclusives' so others have to compete.

Well to be fair to Gamestop the wording on the pre-order bonuses is "unlock" (as in unlock something already in-game) so you could argue that they aren't tricking anyone into thinking it's exclusive.

Now I hate Jade even more. Her only redeeming factor is her silky smooth dark skin. We mocha-flavoured people are the prettiest people in the world. That's a fact, I know because of science.

Dark Skin, but not black, is indeed the sexiest skin color, not going to lie. This doesn't bother me (Pose, I mean), I still like Mileena more.

I think I hated Jade because back in the days of MK2 she would always kick me and my brother's asses all the time...stupid secret characters. Though to be honest the AI always beat us up good. It also didn't help that no one I know, including myself, is any good using Jade.

DON'T TAZ ME BRO!

Strykers Xray and some gameplay.

Man I even hate cops in real life. I don't think there's anything NR can do to make me like Stryker. Though if he fixed his hat it would be a start.

I am having a hard time disliking anything about this game. I would rather Jade had a more squat plus quick stand, and a little bounce to something...but this will do....

Thanks for keeping us updated Slarg. How did that thread go over the mortal kombat forums? More "USad?" "PS3 rules", "I would rather have a pure Mortal Kombat game!"?

My dad was a "cop" before, so I might try him out on principle. I think the only character I really DON'T want to play/am not interested in is Nightwolf.

Not a problem. As for that thread, it devolved into a flame war and then a Mod came in and said "No flaming people, this is the first and only warning", didn't lock it, and everyone stopped posting.

Edit:

Alternate Costumes:



Cyrax, Sub, Sektor

Human versions of Cyrax and Sektor? Awesome! I wonder how it will affect their special abilities?

Lord Scythican wrote:Human versions of Cyrax and Sektor? Awesome! I wonder how it will affect their special abilities?

From what I've heard they are just alternate costumes, though if that means they will have missles coming out of their chests or not, I don't know.


Kombat Kodes are confirmed to be in. You enter these kodes in, and something random happens during a regular Versus Match.

Six Skulls = Zombie Mode (Enemies explode after the life bar ends, everyone has red eyes and grey skin)

Default Symbol-MK-Default Symbol-Default Symbol-MK-Default Symbol = Throwing Encouraged (?)

Six MK symbols = Tournament Mode (?)

Missiles from the chest would be weird...


Also for the Kombat Codes, isn't there a Klassic Mode? Where the music is from the first game?

As for human Cyrax and Sektor if you look closely both have some sort of contraptions around their wrists, so maybe thats where the nets, and stuff come out from. Cyrax also has bombs on his belt, and Sektor has a tank on his back which I'm guessing has the flamethrower fuel.

Still have no idea where the missiles come from...

Finally Mortal Kombat Legacy and like a 3 hour livestream are up on Machiminia's Youtube channel.

As much as I like their human forms, part of me wishes they had masks like what Scorpion and Sub-zero had in the first game.

But then they'd look too similar to Scorpion and Ermac.

Anyone find it weird that their names (or codenames?) were Cyrax and Sektor before they were robots? Maybe the Lin Kuei were planning robotization for a while...

I was interested in this game, and now that I see stryker is in it I'm totally psyked (har har). I think I'll be bringing my ps3 to quakecon this year for some mk throwdown.

True, but I would want that option for every ninja.

Not a clue on the missles, but I know Human Cyrax Teleports by poofing into green fire, which isn't his Rip Apart Teleport that his Robot Form has (He completely disassembles and then reassembles behind them).

King of the Hill mode showcased:

The more I hear about this game, the more excited I become. I was a die-hard MK fan ever since I started playing (played the first one when I was 7 or 8 at a friend's house and my parents grounded me when they found out I played such a violent game. Hehe) and nothing has changed since. This is probably the first video game I have bought at full price (other than one mistake game) rather than used because I don't want to wait any longer. EA really doesn't need to add in the "online play" cost to used games, because most people who want to buy it new will do so, most people who won't buy it new won't. That's that. But this game is DEFINITELY worth buying new to me. Having played the game already with 16 characters...yeah, it's awesome and worth it.

ENTIRE OTHER TEAM IS BABIES!

You know Babalities were my least favourite"ality" but they are so much better now that there are little extra animations thrown on for each character. While I prefer Friendships it's nice to see that not everyone has the same generic transformation. Also looks like we get 3 Fatalities per character plus the Babality which is pretty awesome.

Wow great job NR you actually made me like Babalities with this game!

It's actually causing quite an uproar:

"WTF NR! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SRS MK! "

Personally, I'm glad they are in.

Some fatalaties never seen before (Shang Tsung has the Jokers Fatality from MK Vs DCU )

There's also a livestream on Gamestop, they're showcasing so much stuff. I'm also happy that we have that particular Mileena alt, one of two costumes I hoped made it. The 2nd costume I hope we get is Sub's Deception alt with the Shredder helm and fur.

Ugh, babalities. Even with the animations they still always seemed lame and out of place to me in the MK setting. I'd much rather have animalities.

Awesome! Babalities are great! They always sapped those guys who were too serious about the game. I remember seeing people almost "get off" when preforming some fatality. You could see it in their eyes. However if you pulled a Babality on them you could see their soul crush. Awesome.


Scorpion's alt looks really good too. The skulls on his forearms are pretty nice looking.

Smokes Alt:



Noob Alt:



Kabal Alt (No Damage):

That's awesome. I really like noob and smoke's alts. I liked smoke's hair, but I wanted the option for a mask too. I know it is silly...


Kabal looks pretty rad. I like the burned flesh. He looks like stryker in a way...

Oh man I think I'm gonna have to stop looking up MK online. I don't want to spoil everything for myself!

Thats because Kabal is

Yeah, I've seen most characters 2nd Fatality, including Cyber Sub Zero's. I'm getting to the same point; only thing I'm looking up from here on is babalities.

It's only 4 more days anyway.
