Wha- whaaaaaa? When on Earth did this happen?! Either way, I'm totally stoked.

I noticed that some people have said that this may be Shang Tsung's last tournament???

does that = the last game his going to be in???

awesome in a way.

was wishing for a non-trilogy MK game for the PS3/360/Revolution, but this will still satisfy my craving.

Wow, I'm psyched. Just show me one screenshot, you tempters, you! With 60+ characters, it's a sure bet all the returning characters will return (how on earth they're going to arrange this, I wonder? Aren't a lot of them, like Sheeva, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Kintaro, Mavado, Hsu Hao, etc. dead? Wait... I'm an idiot. It's MK.) While I'm grateful that it'll be released for current-gen systems (so I don't have to cash out for a new system), I am a bit disappointed I won't be seeing some next-gen MK goodness. That doesn't mean I'm not excited, though. I just don't like waiting. (One Sub-Zero render, that's all I want!) Bring on the Kustom Fatalities and Kreate-a-Kharacter modes!

to the news poster:

Its gameinformer.com

not

gameinformers.com

You should probably correct it before people complain about not seeing the pics. (You know how the people around here are... lol)

Wooooooooooo!!


Kustom Fatalites, what the hell is that!

HOLY FUCK! I was expicting something about MK7 at E3. Fuck CUSTOM FATALITES?! 60+ CHARACTER! Shit, which fucking game informer? I was just down at Gamespot earlier. If it's the issue they had I would have picked it up. NOW WHEN THE FUCK IS MIDWAY SENDING SOME PICS MKO'S WAY FOR THE MAIN PAGE?!

Wow, 60+ Characters and Kustom Fatalities? Cool, I'm a little dissapointed that it wont be on ps3 or xb360, but what can you do, i just hope they dont focus on the eye candy and not gameplay..I will hope for the best..looks like we may need another countdown

Mk247

Good stuff. Though I'm still not all that excited about it all.

One of the notes in the magazine mentions direction throws, so you don't have to be lined up with deathtraps. I'm sure it will be similar to the drectional throw in SM, so that should be a nice addition, with air combat. Kind of up in the air about that though. Was cool for SM, but it seems like it could cheapen the main series.

YAWWWWWN.........throw the characters from DA and deception together keep the same crappy gameplay and call it "improved".....ZZZZZZZZ

I am a big fan of MK. For me the MK series are one of those reasons for having a game console.
But it is time for MK to evolve to the next level! I have seen enough of those
out dated MK Graphics. With such powerfull new hardware like the PS3 it wil give MK a new feel of realism again. It will be more Hardcore than ever.
Mortal Kombat will be reborn!
But why spending so much presius time on a MK that will be more of the same! For current generation hardware we have seen it. Now it will take another 2 more years for the next step in MK. I hope they are working on a next gen title at the same time. If not Mr Boon made a big mistake for thinking that he can push another Deadly alliance clone threw our throat!

it mentions the same graphic engine. it has nothing to do with the game-play. Anyway, this is MKDA-MKD remix. How cute.

60+ Characters? 20+ Preset Fatality moves?????

I guess it's kinda interesting, but I would be much happier, with less characters with more useful moves and two well thought out fatalities.

But, that's not my call to make so I guess I'll enjoy all the updates from here on .

60+ characters. - GREAT

Improved air kombat. - GOOD

All new konquest mode similarly to MK: Shaolin Monks - GREAT

Kustom Fatalities - GOOD

Create-A-Character - GOOD

An all new Krypt - GOOD

The game will be released in October 2006 - GOOD

on current-gen systems such as PS2 and XBOX - WHAT THE HELL???

60+ CHARACTERS AND CUSTOM FATALITIES!!!!! That ́s GREAT!

But game comes out in October, I can ́t wait so long

WAIT!!! I found a picture where is all MK characters and they say only Motaro and Scorpion is not in picture.But there is no CYRAX. Is he in the game??? He is one of my favourite characters!!!

The scan cut the characters out, apart from Motaro, he just aint in it.

Wow

Okay, but is cyrax in the game?!

Well, with Midway's 'release a game every year" policy, kinda guessed it would be on the current systems - but its still a little disappointing.

Air kombat is huge for me, however, I hope it's not too similar to MKSM, which was fine for that type of game, but not for the regular fighting game. Hopefully it will be a cross between UMK3 / MKG / MKSM in terms of arial kombat.

As for the 60+ characters, I hope they don't end up with shitty storylines. It seems a little much - though it looks like my prediction of "pissed off elder gods decide to hold one Mortal Kombat tournament to end them all" storyline might end up true.

Oh and some of 'em better be super hidden. Imagine say, unlocking super-hard-to-get MK1 Reptile and bringing him out online! Ppl would crap their pants....

So in MKD:

24 characters - about 30 inf

MKA:

60+ - about 70+ inf?


I cannot belive they will use the same broken engine, for the THIRD TIME.

Everything else looks awsome, they didn't mention online however.........

im just stoked to hear this on friday the 13th... lol... i cant wait... and midway isnt going on there word one mk game a year... ? mkd unchained in march and then months later armageddon? thats 2 this year unless midways is considering actual new mk games and not ported games to another system...

and the reason for the next mk game on next gen is because there is only one out so far and the other two will have to wait till next year to see them or maybe even late this year... but i thought it was a great a idea to keep it on ps2 and xbox that means that they will be pushing the system hopefully on this...

Boon said this is like the conclusion to the story-arch told so far. This is "Armageddon", and supposedly he's going to kill a whole lot of people off and start almost completely new with the next game (think what Street Fighter III was to Street Fighter II.) For that, I'm glad he's finishing up those loose ends on the current system. I'm not gonna whine too much. There will be a next-generation MK next year, won't there be?
Of course MK:A will use the same engine as MK:DA and MK:D. If you remember, it was MK:DA's fighting engine that revitalized the series (even if most hardcore fans still say it sucks.) I don't think the fighting engine is bad, it's just different. I'm not keen on the dial-a-combos, but the combo breaker system of MK:D did a lot to remedy that. My BIG complaint was that it looked too stiff. I hope they improve the motions for the characters is all. Compared to the silky smoothness of Dead or Alive, MK looked like action figures throwing punches. Okay, not that bad, but it could use an improvement, and, yes, the fighting engine could be tweaked, but not completely revised.
