This one?

I think this kind of question has been addressed before in one of the vids with Ed Boon. With the references to the older games you have there, the reply has been that generic:

"We wanted to wipe the slate clean....."

I hear ya though, MINION. I hear ya.

How different is every character going to play, not counting their special moves?

Ex: Superman/Jax = average speed, the hardest hits in the game
Goro (if he’s in) = slow, yet hard hits
Joker = spastic and quick, not so hard

Not sure if this has been elaborated on.

Will there be a release of the classic arcade MK's as a collection. I know some of them have been released in the last special editions, but there never were any European versions.

Few more questions I have:
a.) [Question] - Will Jax be interpreted as a more realistic soldier this time? Hector said he was in the air force or something like that. He should know what a soldier is about.

b.) [Comment] - MKTeam, the stereotypes and bad voice overs are killing that character.

Don't want a "black" character. But rather, a GREAT character, that happens to be a black person. I prefer Kai now because of these things. I'm black btw, if that says anything..heh.


3. @ Tobias:

4.
What's your take of the initial shock created by MkvsDC?

5. Do you currently, or have you ever gotten on any of the forums to see some of the threads concerning your possible return? What do you think of what you read?

6. Can you speak on what "dark & gritty" means to you? Just want like a vague opinionated description or something as co-creator of Mortal Kombat. Not trying to get you "in trouble" or anything.

==========

That's all for now.


Support these questions also. Especially the questions at Tobias, really curious how he looks at things now. And the stereotype thing about Jax. I feel ya about that one.

From what we've seen so far dude, it doesn't appear to have 'the MKA like parries" but there is a kounter move in the klose kombat, as far as the regular kombat so far apparently there is none. Perhaps that will change though man once the game is finalized. I have a feeling though since this is more oldschool with modern day technology, I don't expect to see parry's back(like MKA's anyway) you can kounter though as we've seen in the free fall kombat and KKsmile

I'm glad that they are in the KK and the free fall only. I always tough that the combos shouldn't be breakable. You didn't block on time = bad for you!
And if you miss your combo, the other should take advantage.

Attention!

This thread will likely be stickied in the next day or so. Look to the top of this forum for this thread in the very near future.

I'm holding out on pinning it right away so people have a chance to see this message.

- Starter post is looking good now. You may notice some changes here and there. Just trying to make it more readable so I'll edit the HTML every now and then; "bold here, italics there, colored font here or there...ect. Makes it easier to read alot of questions and kinda indicates....indicators for them. heh.

Anyway..

This seems like a good banter provoker. I'll support this one and add it to the list.

This one's good too. We never hear enough about the things they do for the non-U.S. audiences. P.A.L. and all that kind of thing might be provoked from a question like this.

I think this one was also covered in ]{ombats' Ed Boon interview. Correct me if I'm wrong on that though.

That's it for now.

The MIDWAY thread update is coming shortly.

Shaolin Monks was an adventure adaptation of MK2, so you might as well say MK2. And they did say that if you had to place this game anywhere in the history of MK, it would be between MK2 and MK3.



I was never really impressed with the acting in the previous MK games, but since this is X360/PS3, I think it would be smart to step the narrative up a generation. I realize that they hired an outside writer to write the narrative of the storyline. Will they be hiring a more diverse and more professional cast of voice actors?

It was BETTER in MKA, but still, compared to most franchises out there, it wasn't up to par, I think. They should hire some union actors, professionals, I think.

In this interview Click Here John Tobias and Steven Beran discussed the possibility of Lobo and Aquaman... So my Question is can we expect these two to be in the game or can we expect them as downloadable characters or just an Appearance from both?

ok, a while back on noob.com i believe there was a list of animals or w/e, i believe it was a rhinoceros, gorilla and elephant and what not, it spelled out rage however that aside

i believe this is a clue to BEAST BOY who often morphs into these animals in frequent instances and even are the main seen on his comic book covers. just a hypothesis don't really expect it to be looked at or answered if I'm right. however

just speculation if anyone wants to also speculate.


fmv endings is my dream

I was was wondering how the joker would fight since he's not known for his fisticuff talents

Why do people care if Tobias is back or not? I honestly think Vogel's a MUCH better writer, and the series has done just fine without Tobias for awhile now... so I kinda hope he doesn't come back, because he'd probably take over the writing duties again and the story would suffer.

As for questions, I have a few:

1.) If we do get DLC characters, would an effort be made to expand the story mode to incorporate them, or would they just be added as extra arcade playables (think how Shaolin Monks had 8 playables, but only 4 could go through story mode for something of a comparisson). Yeah, I already know they won't be added to story mode, but I can hope, can't I?

2.) This isn't too important, I'm asking simply for canonical reasons (not to mention the fact that I really care about this): When Vogel retconned Cage's initial death in DA, a lot of fans were upset, but now people seem to act as though it (the retcon) never happened. Could we get an official reply as to whether or not they are going to keep this a part of the story, especially since Deception saw most of Earth's mightiest dying anyway? (At least mention that the old story WAS initially retconned, 'cause it's frustrating that people still don't get that) Even if Cage isn't in, I'd greatly appreciate an answer to this.

3.) Is an effort being made to select characters that actually have something of a personality, since the game will feature an actual story mode? (This is a thinly veiled knock against Reptile, who serves no purpose aside from serving random masters and has no allusions of self-grandeur--Johnny "I'm Awesome" Cage, Kung "I Hate/Love Liu Kang" Lao, Raiden "I Fart Lightning and Need No Last Name", please)

Hi Hans, Hector. With the announcement of Raiden, Wonder Woman, Kano, and Deathstroke; And Gamespot somewhat confirming that there will be a 22 character roster. Can we fans of fighting game femme fatales expect at least one more female character per side?
