Mortal Kombat - RETURNED!

[GrayF0X]

You just stalling now :p

I aint stalling, I just don't wanna fork out some cash for a console when I don't really need to since MY trusty PC has always been there for me.

I'm a bit sceptical about Tag Team. Never really liked that concept in Fighting games. But That X-ray thing does look kinda awesome, And so does the actual Physical Bruising and so On... Should be cool.

Well it could very well be possible that it would come out on PC, tho likely a later release. However a person needs to get with the times and save up for a console, there is plenty a person misses out on.

I haven't really played much Fighting games with Tag Team, but of what i've seen it could make a big difference in who the winner/loser will be in any given fight.

[GrayF0X]

I don't mind a later release date on PC, So long the PC actually gets it, and it's not some Crappy port or anything. But being Unemployed and Studying doesn't help with getting cash for A console, specially since I wanna Go for the PS3 rather than the Xbox...

Jax and The Subway stage confirmed:

Jax is a grapple heavy character who seems to have a large amount of grabs and throws. Classic moves featured included his ground pound and a version of the gotcha grab. His X-Ray move was also showcased in which he performs a double backbreaker. Jax's win pose is most impressive as he reveals an American flag and cloaks himself in it. Appearance wise, he seems to be sporting an attire combination from MK2 and MK3, with metal arms with a machine gun strapped to his back as we saw in MK:DA. He looks much more rugged and less sleek, as he was in his debut back in MK2. Though a fatality was not shown, Ed Boon revealed that Jax had a combination of his MK2 fatalities as one, ripping off the arms of his opponent and clapping his hands to decapitate them.

The Subway is a returning stage from Mortal Kombat 3. It looks much the same as it did in its 3D appearances, but the stage fatality has been updated to feature two trains instead of one. The victim is held in front of an oncoming train as the upper body is pounded before being thrown across the arena to be hit by another oncoming train, completing the stage fatality.

Other details include less certainty about the final number of characters. Ed revealed it remains "in the 20s" but the old number of 26 may no longer be up to date, as there may end up being less or more than originally planned (he also noted the character list was, in fact, not finalized as previously reported). Once again however, he hinted at the strong presence of DLC. Ed also took the time to answer a few commonly asked questions. Tag Team fatalities are a possibility, but only if time allows for them. Mini-games were also mentioned but he did not comment on specifics.Steve Beran was also interviewed about concept design for the characters, in which a large number of concepts for Scorpion's ninja suit were shown. Finally, the classic Spine Rip fatality by Sub-Zero was also shown.

The Kollectors Edition looks marvelous! See the release date is April 2011, gives us enough time to save up for either one of these.

I am so going to get the Kollectors Edition. I absolutely cannot wait for this game. Usually I try and avoid hype at all costs but this is looking like it will be awesome.

MUST HAVE SCORPION FIGURINE!!!

SQUEEEEEEE!!!

[Gammaray]

The January 2011 issue of Official Playstation Magazine has exclusively revealed the inclusion of the enigmatic red-clad ninja Ermac.

Ermac is shown to be wearing attire similar to his Deception costume and is shown performing his Hado Energy projectile against the recently revealed Kratos from God of War fame who is set to be a Playstation 3 console-exclusive character.

Any other new information regarding the article will be updated into this post.

Issue 41 of the magazine is available on US Newstands now!

Ermac! \o/ <3

Now only Noob Saibot to go and i'm all set.

I'm so getting the Kollectors Edition! \0/

That Scorpion figurine looks fantastic. Some more info on Kratos:

Thanks to the January issue of the Official Playstation Magazine, we've learned just who that character is. When Mortal Kombat drops next year in March, Playstation 3 owners will be able to use an exclusive character none other than Kratos himself from the God of War series. Not only will Kratos be featured in the game, he'll have his own fatalities, combat moves, and his very own God of War themed combat arena.

While Kratos will be featured in the game, he won't be a playable character in the story mode. We're rather happy to see Kratos make his entry into the Mortal Kombat series, as he's known as one of the more iconic members of the Playstation 3 family and he loves violence.

I'm eager to see who the exclusive characters are for Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised if it's either Marcus Fenix or Master Chief. Or someone else from those franchises. Ryu Hayabusa would be a pretty cool guest character too, imo.

Well I'm heavy excited about this MK installment, so Ed Boon really had a trick up his sleeve with MK vs DCU, if you think of it, DC Comics is a Subsidiary of Warner Bros. and after the liquidation of Midway Games, Warner Bros Games has got it's Freakaoided paws on the Mortal Kombat IP... Coincidence? I think not.....

Also, Scorpion's classic Toasty Fatality returns. :P

[Gammaray]

Goro! O_O

I hate Goro. He was the most difficult sonafabich ever! Arcades machines short circuited from all my tears that guy made me cry.
Payback will be awesome!

[Xperimance]

I can't wait to get my hands on this game. Hearing that Ed Boon isn't doing the combat system made my day, and Kratos on a Mortal Kombat =win :)
