Kamidogu.com Interviews MK: Armageddon Developer Steven Beran

Posted at 03/28/2006 04:40 PM EST by

The guys over at Kamidogu.com have put up a recent interview with Steve Beran, the lead character artist for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. The game is planned to ship this fall for the Microsoft Xbox and Sony Playsation 2. From the interview:

Kamidogu: Air kombat is an interesting new concept that will alter the way players approach battle. What compensations have you made for larger characters such as Motaro and The Dragon King who have less agility and speed than others?

Beran: Air Kombat is one of my favorite things in Armageddon. The big players will NOT be flipping and doing all that acrobatic stuff...they will be stronger GROUND guys but not have all the air kombat stuff.

Kamidogu: From the myriad of interviews and previews of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon released to the public there has been a notable presence of a number of classic arenas such as Goro's Lair, Kahn's Arena and The Subway. How many more classic arenas can fans expect to see in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon?

Beran: Besides introducing many new MK arenas, there are a lot of classic fighting arenas in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. My favorite background remake is The Wastelands from MK2. I always liked The Wastelands and this new 3D version introduces a very cool new deathtrap.

Cool stuff!

I'm curiuous about this Wasteland deathtrap and I'm glad the bigger characters are now known to not be doing the aerial combo stuff!

And Stryker has new moves! I wonder what they'll be like!

Well nice interview but why can't you tell them to evolve minor people like Jattaaka and kia and make them important before making some new character!!!!!!!!!

Excellent.

Good things:

- New/Remade/Improved arenas.
- Possible new realms.
- Amazing Konquest.
- Air kombat seems awesome.
- Stryker will be greatly improved and might be “darker” then what we can imagine.

Bad things:

- Shared fighting styles.

That's the same thing you posted in my thread.

It's nice to hear we'll be getting both some old, and new arenas. We also have confirmation that the purple sky stage most likely is the Wastelands. It'll probably look like the classic BG from the other side, as all the classic stages start by facing away from the old view. I guess we were looking through the gates in MK II, eh?

I think we complain too much about what isn't in the interview. I bet they ask some of the questions we are dying to know, but are just told that they aren't ready to release that info just yet.

Maybe I am wrong, but I have a feeling that if the interviews were full, we'd get a lot of "i can't answer that right now"

nice, now when are we getting that upgraded character roster render with motaro? hopefully they will add some new costumes too

He didn't really answer the question about the fighting styles being more "focused on" then in previous games. He just answered the part about sharing styles. I need to know if the fighting styles will be more developed damnit! I don't want fighting styles with like 13 moves only.

•03/29/2006 01:36 AM (UTC) •

so the game only has two fighting styles per a character?

I like the idea of that, and was something I hoped for. Not a big fan of sharing styles but I was expecting it to happen.

i want them to officially confirm whether or not khameleon & chameleon are in the game (ffs interviewers pull your finger out and ask the questions that the people really want to hear don't ask stuff we already know).

Steve Beran said a lot of classic arenas will be returning. I wonder if this means NOT ALL arenas from previous MKs will be returning?

What are you talking about? Plenty of the same questions about Air Kombat, Konquest, etc. There were some decent questions about redoing the older characters but other than that, it was pretty much the same old/same old.

And somebody DOES need to ask whether Khameleon will or will not be included, if only to put to rest speculation and end what was (at one time) an endless spree of topics.

It's safe to assume that with all the other work going into this game, the vids of Scorpion and the original cast render, that the old characters will have the same costumes as in MKD and MKDA. Although I would love to be proven wrong.
No more sidequests for Konquest, that's a bummer. I loved doing all the goofy missions and all the koin hunting. As far as I can tell, there isn't going to be koins PERIOD in Konquest, just those point-currency thingies.

We didn't ask that because we don't have numerous topics about her on Kamidogu

Pfft! This forum, of course, is the only one that matters.
