Boon is already showing people too much... The IGN Article's end sentence is a prime example..

"Which 24 characters will be in the game, and WHICH OF THE 14 WILL BE AVAILABLE RIGHT AWAY?"

I don't want to know what ALL the characters are.. and the IGN article also seems to insinuate that Boon has already shown them many fatalities, and Hari Kari moves...

This is exactly how the lead up to MKDA was...little by little fatalities were shown, and eventually by the time the game came out little to nothing was left for players to discover..

I hope Boon realizes what he is doing and doesn't spill all the beans on the fatalities and extras before the game is out...

Dumb move on boon's part. It is like a half decent comedy, but you see all the best/funny parts in the trailer.

He can spill the beans and ruin part of what looks like a great game, but he can't open his mouth on the final secret of MKDA.

I agree. I know wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much already, and some of it is shit I wish I didn't know, but it's my own fault for coming here and also for talking with people who know things.

The biggest problem with MKDA and as it seems MK Deception is the strategy guide...it gave away EVERYTHING before the game came out!

Midway needs to limit what the guides/mags tell how to do things. I don't mind that they show a few things...but for the love of God, don't tell us how to do fatalities and secrets. It needs to be discovered by the players as it always has been in past MK games. This one is online and it will feel like the arcade days wink

I agree, but then why buy the strategy guide if you want to find things out on your own? Anyway, Midway should limit the content as you said. Including all the secrets spoils the game for everyone.

And I agree that we do know too much already. I hope they keep the identity of the hidden characters secret and we can discover them for ourselves on the game. Anymore gameplay info should be kept secret too.

I agree, I think that Boon is letting to much fly out about the game. I would settle for some screens and a brief description.

After the trailor everyone had even more questions,like who is the girl in white, is that nightwolf?,Is the guy in red Ermac? So no one will just be satisfied with screens.

You missed my point...there is no point in finding fatalities by yourself (that's what you'll have to do) if the guide tells all. Everyone and their dog will know everything and you will be playing by yourself for months/years before you and your buddies find everything if at all.

To truly be like classic arcade MK games, the players should find the fatalities/moves/secrets, not some lazy ass with a guide to show him all. That took 90% of the first impression out of MKDA.

Well, i think that: While we are in these and other forums it's because we want to know more. But what i really don't want to know is ALL(or any) the fatalities, Game modes(although i would to know some) and ALL the arenas(It should be a surprise), etc.
But I want to have more pictures, i want more trailers just to get the feeling(you know what i mean) and I love these discussions about it.

AND I WANT A VERY SIMPLE DEMO, AFTER E3.

P.S: As i live in Portugal and the game only arrives to Europe after a month or later of beeing released in USA i will pratically know everything by then.

Other thing: Most of the other games reveals all, even GTA before they are released. And in E3 is the best place to see the REAL potential of the game. And i hope it won't be a DECEPTION.wink

Here's the thing. If you don't want to know about the game, don't read the previews or the new info of the MK5.org front page. Duhr. Don't spoil it for yourself. Don't hang out in the MK:D forum. If we weren't getting any information at all, people would just be bitching about that. Although it would be more mysterious if they didn't show us everything, there's nothing forcing you guys to go out and seek this information.

I agree with everything you just said. However, even though I said it'd be better if they didn't release so much info, I'm really not bothered.

Unlike others, if I do know stuff, it doesn't spoil it for me. Reading about it is not the same as seeing it in action and experiencing it for yourself. MKDA wasn't spoilt for me even though I knew everything about it when I finally got it.

I didn't know anything about MK:DA when it was released. Probably because I wasn't searching for any info too. I enjoyed playing it for the first time, watching the intro et all.

So sure, we know a lot about MK:D, but we don't know everything. And I like the fact that we know that there are new characters, that characters are coming back, that there are going to be interactive arena's.

It just makes me want to play the game even more. It doesn't spoil anything for me.

Of course, if they leak or give waya to much info, that would be very stupid.

The way I see it, no one is forcing you to download movies,pictures, ad artiles about Mortal Kombat 6. So please don't cry when you either of those things and say how Boon or the MK team is ruining MK6 for you. I mean you come here by choice. If you don't want to know almost nothing about MK6 you should say away from no brainer headlines saying you can do this, you can preform fatalities by doing this and this, or Coffin XX unlocks this. SO pleaes before you bash Boon or any other MK staff by telling what you can do in MK6, I think it is anyone that doesn't want to know is the one that should back off.

If you don't want to spoil it, don't read about it. Like me, I don't even care about it until it comes out.

What if the deception is that a lot of the stuff that has been released doesnt really exist and Ed Boon is taking us all for a ride lol. That would be piss-pants hilarious.

Yeah Konqrr I think ur pic is cool.

I'm pretty certain we got covereage like this before MK2 came out from EGM. It showed the character select screen adn gave brief detail about each character. Fatalities and even 2 of their 5 moves at least should maybe be kept secret though.

THe old days were the best for sure. MK2 cannot be touched, but MKD looks like it will be the closest match, so I think it's time to go back to basics on the release of info as well. It's tough now though, witht the intenet, as good as it is, it does ruin stuff. At least with a magazine it was a much better "time release" capsul.

yea , im gonna have to go with logic here and simply say if you dont want to know about somthing, then dont read it.
I think what alot of people want is to get some tease's of the game , but with out everything being given away. I think the problem is that people forget to post things like "SPOILER!!!" and what not.

The info that's released about the game really isn't spoiling anything. I mean if you played MK:DA you know that the dragon king was going to be the main boss and we have already seen half of the characters in previous games.

Why watch a MK trailer of a character doing a fatality. When you play the game it like i know what it is already. Takes the fun out of it!
