Maybe next time

I doubt it. The main focus is on the story mode. Maybe by MK 1378? It would be good to have though, so I hope they'll do something like that. Extra play modes are one of the reasons Soul Calibur and Tekken have so much support ( like the tekken team battle ) even though MK is so much better.

One thing that has bugged me for a while, is that Boon has said he plays the other fighters, of which, if i'm not mistaken, all have at least a survival mode if not others.

How in the world can he not say "Hmmm this is fun thing to have, let's add it to the game"?

Although with the advent of online gaming it's probably not such a huge issue, it is still nice occasionally to have a quick bout through a team battle or a survival match, without having to go thru all the story mode crap.

He and the team know of the mode for sure. Survival mode made an appearence in MK Unchained for the PSP. With all the talk of DLC, who knows, they might throw in a survival mode. I doubt it, but I've been proven wrong before.

+1

Something for future MK games to include for sure. Stuff like Team Battle or Survival isn't even that difficult or time consuming to implement. I'd rather more game modes like that than story mode personally.

I would of liked MK vs DC to have included a few extra game modes myself, however I dont mind this time because the story looks deep and interesting , so for me that kinda makes up for the fact of limited game modes.

But good ideas for extra game modes would be: Survival and Team Battle as some people have said.

Another cool idea however would be a mode to travel around the MK/DC world and conquer places by beating people, until you have captured the world or something like that....

That is what bugs me the most, it wouldn't take any time at all to implement, and doesn't detriment the game in any way. All it does is gives the player a few other options to play with.

MK Unchained,
MK Armageddon fo wii

both had a survival mode

Wrong, the main focus is making that money. I'm sure the game's story will be rushed and generic. Don't set youselves up for disapointment. We all thought MKA's story was gonna be soo great...dumb game didn't even have bios!

they NEED a survival mode. especially if they continue to have those awful arcade modes.

That maybe so, but it was on games that were released 6 months later. Why is that the case??
My guess would be because they know the Xbox/PS versions will sell no matter what. The other versions need something (as insignificant as a survival mode is) to talk it up over the original releases. But still no reason not to have it in the original release.


As great as MK's story is (or has been) i'd rather have a solid game with plenty of gameplay options, than a whole bunch of bio's to read thru which after you read them once become sort of pointless.

Well I'd rather have bios and a Story/Konquest mode than a team mode I'd never use.

Apparently, Ed has no interest in team modes either, so there you go.

This isen't a debate over what should come first, story or game play. The MK team is made up of two hundred people, they can do both so please lets not go down that route and treat them like they are "special" or "limited".
