I agree, it was just to set up ans sample the new system and then spyke w/ Deception

yes.. some 1 realzes that they were not serious about making (they but effort but not as much as they did into deception)

I don't agree with you. MKDA took a long time to create. It wasn't created as a joke. It was created for itself. Every MK game leads to the next one.

Exactly.

Deadly Alliance was a game that wanted to take Mortal Kombat to the next level, which it did. Deception is now utilizing everything they set up and designed for DA, and improving upon it in every aspect.

Again I said this before, I think Deception is gonna feel more like an upgrade rather than a sequel. More like MK:DA 1.5

Like and X-treme MK:DA
I think the improvement is drastic enough to be a game on itself, they did not just add more characters, there is new gameplay and many new things that change gameplay (deathtaps, stage weapons, ec.)

Ahh, but the way I see it, an upgrade is better than a sequel...

For example, in the movies 9 times out of ten the Special Edition of a movie is better than that movies sequel.

So MK:D can be JUST an upgrade for all I care.

I do not agree with you either. There is now better gamaplay, 100000000000000000x better konquest, chess and puzzle, many returnign chars, many new chars, amazing arenas, high detail and new dark look with a great story. MKD is its own game. It's the MK that is gonna own all MKs and all other fighting games out there.

ahh i never meant that it was a joke i love it i just said that it will not be as great as deception which made me guess maybe it was just made to lead up 2 a whoop ass mk b/c there was no one boss there was two they mad a change i loved the changed then they upgraded to deception.. which will rule all mk's! ( so far)

I have to disagree with you, those things alone don't make it an upgrade.
Death traps and such only expand on what was there already.

What's going to determine if this is a whole new game or not will be whether the extra modes, especially the Konquest and Puzzle Fighter Modes are enough to improve the MK experience.

We all know Chess mode will rock so that's a definite plus.

it is defiantly not an upgrade just a whoop ass sequel that has better fighters new fighters stuff like that etc.

i did not mean upgrade it was just a word that come out cuz i strongly disagree with those who think deception its a upgrade it isnt ( it a sequel thats betta and has bett stuff)

I have to disagree with you. If you go to the deserted www.mortalkombat.com, you can tell that Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance was a very serious game. They worked hard on it and put many hours into it. They wanted to make the game very diffrent from the previous Mortal Kombats. With the 3-fighting styles, blood dripping down bodies and sticking to the floor, and a better combo system, you can tell they wanted to make Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance a great fighting game. Mortal Kombat: Deception was not even close to beiong an idea while they made Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.

Im sorry to mention this, but did anyone think that Decepion gameplay was weaker than deadly alliance gameplay? Or was Scorpion Vs Subzero just a preview of kombat chess fighting? Thanks.

oooo i swear im just say is they did all of that 3 fighting styles all of that 2 lead up 2 deception 2 nd of all I LOVE DA I ALWAYS play it...

i was just wondering if ne 1 felt maybe all the ideas they had ( except for shang and quan joing 2gether) 4 deception but they needed something to lead up 2 it like da... see what im sayin?

The "players" in those vids don't know wtf they're doing. So, don't worry about that. I can tell right now that it seams just a tad quicker, but that is arbitrary. MKD is going to have the same weak shit gameplay as DA, just more of it. Still no oki game from what I saw, weak tech system, weak SS, same properties from DA. The only thing that has improved is the aura, which I am thankfull for...to bad that's the extent of it.

And I do not feel DA was a prelude to MKD.

Well, Mk2 difference with MK1 was that they added more fatal. More characters, got rid of some characters, new arenas, etc etc. BUT the gameplay was exactly the same
and no one thinks that MK2 was just an upgrade from MK1

On the other hand, ugrades only add new characters and some new stages, and the main story is the SAME
Ej. MKGold, added King Lao, kitana, mileena, etc. but they still had Shinnok, Quan Chi, etc. to defeat, the story did not change
Now the story changes completly, the DA is not the main enemy, but the DK, who want to take over the worlds.

Well, I don't think Deception's gameplay is weaker than DA's, outworld dude, 'cause Deception's gameplay is just like DA's but with additional stuff( it's faster and smoother, probably has more combos, it has sweeps and uppercuts,....)

DECEPTION'S gameplay will be so much better thans Da's!!!!( just my opinion)

I'm sorry, but if you think MK1 and MK2 played just the same, your out of you friggin mind.

But anyway, I understand what you mean.
However, I'm speaking merely in terms of the gameplay itself.
-meaning not including stages, characters, fatalities, etc..-
If the gameplay, including Arcade, Konquest, Puzzle, and Chess, doesn't make me want to continually come back for more, it's not that great of a game.

MK2 improved upon MK1 enough that I'm still playing it.

I want to be able to say the same about MK:Deception

The fighting system is great on a basic level, but could use improvements, and just speeding it up is not a huge improvement.

I have faith that the MK team will turn this into an excellent-standalone-game that will keep me playing for a long, long time, but right now, from the little(--And I Stress LITTLE because I'm sure it's far from finished--)bit of gameplay we've seen, I'm just hoping there's much more fine-tuning to be done.

I loved the gameplay of DA just wished it was faster.

Welcome, deadcrow dude!
I believe(from what I saw in the newest vids) that the gameplay is faster and smoother than DA

deadcrow Wrote: I loved the gameplay of DA just wished it was faster.

alright, thanks everyone for explaining that ti me. Im just glad that deception has more added stuff. Ok, thanks.

Like said above each game leads to the next. Except for MK4. It introduced Quan Chi to the game but that was it.
I see a trilogy coming soon. Like MK:DA introduced the idea of the DK, Deception is introducing him into the game, MK7 may be his death.
