New game = best Mortal Kombat ever?

[Izret101]

Kratos on HardcoreGaming.org posted this and i  freaked out about it last night.
Understandably.

I am looking foreward to this more than any game i have heard of coming out in 2k6 so far.

Hopefully they don't change the fighting system too much though...
I don't want it to be like others where you have to memorize a million move combo and you can only be good with one character after massive amounts of usage.

In anycase check it out:

I have been able to read up a bit on forums and some people seem to think this is going to be the final installment in the Mortal Kombat series.

They had all better shut their blaspheming mouths.

this is going to be the final installment in the Mortal Kombat series.

We can only hope          





Seriously though. Every Kombatant ever.......

Sounds cool.

Why would they kill a cash cow?

Then again it is called Armageddon and has all the fighters from the series in it.  :-/

Why no Motaro?

Wow, if all that comes to fruition I might have to break my self imposed ban on buying fighting games brand new.

I wonder if the character list includes the different forms of characters (ie human and robot Smoke)?

[Arrrhalomynn]

I'd be interested if it were 2D. 3D Mortal Kombat never felt like Mortal Kombat to me.

From what some of the posts on the link have mentioned, it would be too difficult to include him due to the way he is drawn.

Hopefully, with so many characters they'll also be able to find a way to make them more balanced with regard to being able to pull off their special moves (i.e. Baraka).

I would definitely get it, though. It sounds very impressive. And the ability to create your own Kombatant clinches it.

Is Shaolin Monks worth 19.99?

[Izret101]

I just finished reading the game informer article for it.

They want to use this game to tie up all the loose end of all the characters.

The way it is worded it sounds like they are going to end Mortal Kombat for these characters but want to continue the series in another generation with new charcters.
But Boon said "It's can't imagine coming back [in the next generation] and not have a Sub-Zero or Scorpion character, but my feeling is that i would like to introduce as much newness as possible."

He compared this game to turning off Star Wars before the Death Star blew up or Lord of The Rings before the One ring was cast into the fire.

And they probably won't work in Motaro because he is the only quadraped character. It would be nearly impossible to integrate him as a useful character since. Unless he was broken and far to powerful.

As for the cast i have read elsewhere that all the versions of characters are going to be selectable.
Probably as a costume swap.

The cast will be:
Shang Tsung
Scorpion
Sub-Zero
Shinnok
Shujinko
Kai
Kung Lao
Quanj Chi
Reiko
Kabal
Kano
Cyrax
Sonya
Jarek
Stryker
Rain
Ashrah
Sindel
Kitana
Johnny Cage
Lui Kang
Reptile
Baraka
Raiden
Kenshi
Li Mei
Dairou
Sareena
Tanya
Darrius
Noob Saibot(they are still keeping the Saibot out of his name apparently)
Smoke
Nightwolf
Ermac
Movado
Kobra
Kira
Fujin
Frost
Havik
Jax
Bo Rai Cho
Hotaru
Drahmin
Mokap
Mileena
Jade
Sektor
Hsu Hao
Nitara
Onaga(The Dragon King)
Kintaro
Shao Kahn
Goro
Sheeva
Moloch
Blaze

Yes.
I saw somewhere it got rated as the unexpected greatest game of the year.

And if you can get me a copy for 20$ i would <3 you.

So long as you don't mind holding onto it till i get 20$...
lol

[yap]

I don't think it would be hard to make the best Mortal Kombat game, since the Mortal Kombat franchise has always sucked.

[Izret101]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
You are dead to me.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I'll have to agree with yap and be dead to you too. Never did like the MK's, I think by the time I really played any MK's I had played Tekken.

Well, hey, Mortal Kombat franchise may suck but it was always better than the Killer Instinct franchise.

Wasn't there just one Killer Instinct game? If so that doesn't make a franchise just a game.
