And first.

ohh boy sektor fans are gonna get mad. and it's pretty cool to see Goro in the Jail Cell. but if he is. It would be even cooler to have him as a playable fighter.................. Great stuff M4C

"It is also worth mentioning that extensive work has been put into lag-prevention and "jerk-proofing" the system, so that unpluggers will be penalized and made apparent for their sins."

Can you explain exactly what this means?
I'm not familar with lag-prevention/jerk-proofing or unpluggers.

Would it be safe to say this build is like 99% how the final version will be? No time left to make the witch flying past the moon a super unlockable maybe... :( maybe next time. All looks great,can't wait for the direct feed footage...

Thats mad! Im dying to play this game.

very good info. now how about them direct-feed movies! :-p

That is so cool!! I'm glad that they have made sure that online play is fair and lag-free. October, erm, November or whenever MKD comes out in the PAL regions is the month of greatness!!

Nice to hear everything is coming together.Great coverage :.l

Goro in a cell? That cannot be right. Surely they wouldn't bring him back again, especially just to stick him in prison.

If that's true...just...ugh. Give me a break. Just pathetic. For a series that prides itself on it's deep mythology it sure can't even have something as serious and major as the death of a character taken seriously.

I think it sounds pretty cool! But Sektor in a cell!?

This game looks wicked cool. Sucks cage is in jail though.

*coughjohnnycagecough* Woo, don't know what was stuck in my throat there. Must've been this autographed picture of someone. Curious.

Ha. That's strange.

So can you guys that went to this state here once and for all, either way, will Sektor be playable or not?

Was Jade in the cells still? (indicating that some characters in the cells will be playable)

"Arena sneak-previews and concept art that we've seen include Liu Kang's Tomb, Dragon King's Lair, and returning Deadly Alliance stages Kuatan Palace, Quan Chi's Fortress, and tons of retro backgrounds (including Pit 2 [complete with a witch flying across the moon!]), The Portal, Dead Pool, and so many more). "

Does this mean that we can play retro stages in Kombat since you put it in the kombat section? Or even online?

awesome movies can't wait for the game

Actually I think u can play retro stages in kombat because in that video Noobsmoke beat scorpion and it didnt say "Player x took the square" and it zoomed up to noobsmoke. So hopefully my favorite part of deception (the retro stages) can be played in kombat.

So, Cage didn't die, huh? (but then again, Goro is in the cell, so maybe...) Well, assuming they were all knocked out, then the opening to Deception makes no sense--if I defeated Earth's mightiest warriors--I wouldn't have left them lying there so they could rally against me again, later--I would have killed them. At least I now have hope that Johnny Cage, Sonya, Kung Lao, and the rest will return in MK7.

(and just to note--Scorpion has died more than any other character in the series, so pointing out Cage who only died once only to have his DA story say he never did die at all} doesn't really make sense--but that's just me being a Cage fan, lol.)

This game still isn't finding it's way into my home until I know if Cage and Sonya are some of the "super-unlockables" (lol), but at least it stands a chance again.

All I want to know is if classic stages will be unlockable for kombat. So I can play "The pit 1" or MK2 portal with my friend not in chess mode. Chess battles end too quickly...

Yeah. It is the Pit 1 with the objects flying passed the moon.

Chill. We have seen Jade in a cell too, and she's obviously playable.

Apparently there is 10-14 super unlockables, so i'd say thing's are looking very good for him.

wtf?

scorpion only died once, he just returns to hell, but he didn't had a life again so that he could be killed, the same happens to cage, altough he was killed(mk2) and revived(mk3) and returned to heavens(mk3-end) and summoned again(mk4) he was only really killed once...

imo it's stupid that people never stay dead in MK

hsu hao
jarek
goro

all in some stupid cells, I mean, goro was cremated, jarek splashed, and hsu hao was heart ripped...really really lame...at least they better explain why they're there, don't just put them there to fill that stupid idea of "every character will be in MK deception"
