A new Mortal Kombat in works in the series
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Howdy fellow posters?
My name is Alan Rupert and I’m graduating in polymers chemistry. I love playing videogames and that is why I recently got a playstation 3, I also have the first xbox and ps2. I am new on this board, so what is better than having something to share with you all a little information upon a new coming next gen fighting game that came to me by a friend who works at a restaurant in Chicago. We chat a lot about games when we meet and a insider at midway games corporation told him about some details of a new project that tey are working on in the mortal kombat series. Last week my friend told me some things that thte inside man showed him on visiting the restaurant. It can be rumours or true facts but please don’t be offended as I trust my friend fully. His other insider person can be truth or false.
Thankyou for reading till now, so now I tell you some interesting bits about a new mortal kombat game in the series. I will mark them in numbers so that these can be remembered:
__________________________________________________ _______
1- Midway games corporation is planning on airing a 30 minutes video that shows a series storyline rehash before that game is released. Midway says it is integral to release this video because fans of the mortal kombat series does not understand fully how the storyline is fully changed. Without understanding the twist the series will be damaged. The last storyline was totally completed in the last part: mortal kombat armagedon. The series is going for a new start and with this video, the fans will not be disappointed with the change, and brand new peoples can come into playing as all is fresh.
They are doing multi-million dollars marketing campaign(gosh) for the new game which includes this video and it will be shown worldwide as TV advertisement even first time in Japan too. Midway says the end of the last part is very important and new game will come with a bang(I think I should pick the mortal kombat armagedon now too as I only played deception part).
2- There is a mini game feature in the new mortal kombat that is being tested at this time. There is a ancient Chinese eating/drinking-wine place where two players will fight each other and peoples cheer them. The great thing is that my friend told me it looks like the fighting style of movie”the one”, where JET LI holds a belt in both hands and punches in the start of the film and the great thing is that it is played with holding your joypad controller in both hands and jerking and shaking it. Just like the movie you hold the pad in both hands, now turing the right side will get right punch and turning the left with deliver a left punch. It is like using the ps3 joypad with motion sensor. It is hands only mini game without kicks and you have to knock out the other fighter while standing and sitting. The insider says it feels very natural and excite your adrenlene in fighting and makes you shout.
3- Next up is some character bios and artworks that my friend saw or listened about. A new character /fighter is a sumo looking general from ancient china. He is a legend(or was a legend) who a emperor of china send on a quest to get the herb of eternal life a thousand years ago. But when he found the herb he ate it himself. Everliving life made his eyes open and he started worshipping in a cave deep in the earth. A apocalptic earthquake get him out to fight in the new mortal kombat. I’m not sure he will be in the game or not for it was concept art my friend mentioned, so not 100% sure. Got it?
4- There is a new fighter who wears jean pants and black leather coat and looks so much like the hero of “the Prey” game. The insider showed him a art picture which says he works at the docks(maybe a fisherman). He and his crew is among the very few unlucky who saw upon the mortal kombat ghost ship one day deep in the ocean and are cursed by it from then. They are hunted by girls who look like “the ring” film girl with long hair covering the face. There is a huge hole in the place of their mouth and no eyes. The girls are called ‘dream hunters’. A fellow is shown lying in bed and a girl is sucking his brain out while he is still alive. Our hero is shown running from them away from oceans all around the world like he is afraid of water. Then he is standing in a dark downtown street where suddenly bright light happens which invites him to fighting.
5- A new character is a woman who can bend light around her and look transparent like predator. I can’t remember more on her but she might be sonia.
6- Midway says they are doing much focus on living forest for the fans demand is too much and it has not been detailed ever as much as it is right now.
7- Insider says that the main person Mr. Ed boon who created mortal kombat series was not happy with the working of the graphic engine. It is very much upgraded and is still worked about. They are perfecting it and it is very interactive now. When fireballs and projectiles touch water they produce bubbles and steam.
8- other things mentioned are like the game will go online. They are listening to what fans say. There is a online shopping mode being in works that demand tasks done by the player and play like mortal kombat deception adventure mini game(maybe xbox achievment thing), the game will make a 3d space like myspace in 3d on psn home too, and sell collectables on home. There are big plans of downloadable fight stages, weapons and so on. A new match replay feature that has fps camera is also in works.

There it is friends. My first post. There can be spoilers or these can be rumours. It is all your to decide. I respect you all and honored to be on this board. I believe new mortal kombat is going to be a great game. There is so much changed in it. My duty was to bring you what I could hear out there, I think the job is done. I thankyou for reading this and I’m sure my friend will be too.
I'm waiting big on mgs4 and tekken 6 btw.

Great news. I'm sure the anti-MK faction here will not like it, but who cares, we are going ahead.

These are very interesting rumpurs. the ost intriguing for me is this one:
It sounds incredibly similar to my Goddess of Light concept in which she bent light away from her body in order to become invisible. Here's the description I used: Invisibility: Uses her powers of light manipulation to refract light away from her body rendering her completely invisible. (No shadow is cast, as light cannot hit the body at all. Refraction is the bending of light as it travels between different mediums as in traveling from air to water.) Ryoko bends light away from her body regardless of the medium, making her invisible and freeing herself of a shadow.)
I've seen other things I've posted make it into the game before so this would be ace lol! My only problem with this rumour is the name. We already have Sonya. Sonia is far too similar but it may only be a concept name if said rumour is true.

characters sound along the lines of a "tekken" backround instead of mk, i just think of ganryu and paul phoenix when i read of thos 2 characters.
if its true, i hope they do a good job.
glad to see at least one update, that mini game sounds awsome.

Pretty detailed to be a complete rumor...hm. Still skeptical since it's not "official", but very interesting nonetheless. Impressive "rumor"....
Ho-ly crap that sounds familiar. The only difference is the movie I chose in my idea. Which was Jet Li's "Unleashed", instead of "The One". Member the scene where he fights the bald guy in the bathroom stall(2:50sec in)?
Sounds like the same type of thing, but I don't know what this is talking about exactly.
There's no scene like he's talking about in the beginning of "The One". Closest thing to it is the first time Yu Law gets away from authorities. Member when the "lady with the red hair" blows up that mouse?(5:30-6:30sec in)
Uumm..First Person fights sound good right here. The game "Condemed 2: Bloodshot" is probably the best example of this kind of thing out right now. I hope that if they use this type of feature, that they do it differently somehow though. I don't have any ideas off the top of my head right now though.
--
Anyway, THAT's it MK, that's the kind of mini-game that makes sense.
Wonderful, if it comes to be truth.
This dude? Nightwolf relative maybe? Hell, if they get close to the drawing on the left, but "photo-realize" characters better than the stock on the right, we're golden. Make characters clothes an all that move around..Like hair in the wind and so on...ect ect.
Also interested, is the prospect of another "fat guy". Making him a general is such a good sign considering what they did with Bo Rai Cho. If this guy makes the cut, and his story pans out to be along the lines of what's there, we can already see good build, and character depth in his personality. We'll see.
w00t! lol Especially if it rivals how destructive and interactive some of these newest games coming out are right now. Assasins Creed, or like, BattleField: Bad Company. You can climb on, and blow up damn-near everything in games like that.
===========other stuff======
-Happy to hear we may be getting another good female character...Boss character maybe Tgrant? Heheh Never know, she could be it. Invisibility is a passive power to weld too.
--Also, I'm relieved to hear that they are spending a big bucket-o-money on this thing. Actually, I figured they'd want to....almost need to. Which brings up another quick thing to consider...
---"When they release".
I figure, if they're gonna spend a big bag of money on this game, and release after most of the other big sellers of the genre, we might just get the "Call of Duty 4" of fighting games. And besides that, wouldn't it be in true MK fashion to release after everybody else and blow everyone away?
They always wait a good while into a console generations life for sake of probing the technology. Which I think is beautiful. Don't just rush right in..and then we get a "best last fighting game of the console generation" too. Always has a good outcome profit wise that way, and it kind of dwarfs the memory of the other games that came before it.
----I think we need them to come out and fully explain what the hell's been going on with the story. A whopping 30min video?!? Y-E-S. Do it.
A request from a video like this? Have the writers talk more than Boon for the bulk of the story part. Have Boon set the pace, and then just let Vogel and some of the other "unseen" people tell us what's up(Let a female on the Team talk, they're interesting to see talking about video games["XPlay" or "Attack of the Show"]).
Tell the public what fans were "bitching" about(I love that when they actually say it, lol), then, now, and for the future. "Character depth"(a characters past, and personality), "power potential"(what a character is capable of, and not just about the characters special moves in the game...ect Little stupid, but defining shit like that.).
-----Boon wasn't happy with the graphics engine! Delay! fall back! fall back! open the hatches and seal the doors!! Lol
Seriously though, yes, Get it Right. I don't wanna see noth-in' until then. MK1-T -ish, God please.
and lastly
-----MKD Konquest-like mode returning? Again, excellent hear say news. This needs to stay around to tell the story for MK. Just depends on the kinds of things they put in there, and the stuff we can do and get while playing. The "how to express this" notion.
There's also the interesting use of Home for the PS3 being talked about. Haven't heard much about Home usage from anyone. Which was surprising because it's so ambitious.

sue them!
however joking apart,i'm not too happy about it.
i'm not a expert about gaphic engine,but getting a decent graphic isn't that hard.something better than Stranglehold and gears of war please.it's possible.
i'm not asking high detailed graphics like Crysis or Assassin Creed(did it use UE3?) but something decent.
about the details i love the idea of fireballs have effects on the stage and the water,and i just love the living trees arena.
about the characters i really hope for Sonya return(even tough i don't believe in this particular rumor),i don't like native american character like Nighwolf(please native american users don't be offended).
the mini game its' a good idea even tough i admit to don't understand fully the mechanics.
i hope for old style fatalities and some cool stage fatalities/death traps(more spectacular than Deception and Armageddon ones).
i hope my fav characters survive

Those were some tasty tidbits of plausible sounding nuances.
How about they make the jeans and jacket character have dark green tentacles on his back, have a werewolf beard, shoot blue lasers from his eyes, and spit electrified water.. with a fatality of turning player 2 into a fountain of multi-coloured clay.
Aah.. it's good to be alive.

Okay, this all sounds like obvious stuff/BS to me. I'll break these down here:
"1- 30 minutes video that shows a series storyline They are doing multi-million dollars marketing campaign(gosh) for the new game which includes this video and it will be shown worldwide as TV advertisement even first time in Japan too."
Gosh indeed, who knew that Midway would spend MILLIONS on promoting Mortal Kombat? Oh wait, they always do. The 30 minute video will be shown as an advertisment on TV? Really? Isn't that about 27 minutes and 30 seconds longer than most commercial breaks last?
"2- There is a mini game... There is a ancient Chinese eating/drinking-wine place where two players will fight each other and peoples cheer them... it is played with holding your joypad controller in both hands and jerking and shaking it... turing the right side will get right punch and turning the left with deliver a left punch. It is like using the ps3 joypad with motion sensor."
Okay, I'm calling BS here. There's no way the MK team makes a minigame that will only work on the PS3 and not the 360. This really just sounds like someone's idea and they liked it so much that they turned it into a rumor.
"3- A new character /fighter is a sumo looking general from ancient china. He is a legend(or was a legend) who a emperor of china send on a quest to get the herb of eternal life a thousand years ago. But when he found the herb he ate it himself. Everliving life made his eyes open and he started worshipping in a cave deep in the earth. A apocalptic earthquake get him out to fight in the new mortal kombat. I’m not sure he will be in the game or not for it was concept art my friend mentioned, so not 100% sure. Got it?"
Yeah I got it. A storyline and character that sound like they were designed by a 4th grader. A "sumo general" who's a thousand years old because he ate an "herb of eternal life" so lived in "a cave deep in the earth" until an "earthquake got him out to fight." WHAT THE F#$%K IS THAT???
"4- There is a new fighter who wears jean pants and black leather coat and looks so much like the hero of “the Prey” game. The insider showed him a art picture which says he works at the docks(maybe a fisherman). He and his crew is among the very few unlucky who saw upon the mortal kombat ghost ship one day deep in the ocean and are cursed by it from then. They are hunted by girls who look like “the ring” film girl with long hair covering the face. There is a huge hole in the place of their mouth and no eyes. The girls are called ‘dream hunters’. A fellow is shown lying in bed and a girl is sucking his brain out while he is still alive. Our hero is shown running from them away from oceans all around the world like he is afraid of water. Then he is standing in a dark downtown street where suddenly bright light happens which invites him to fighting."
Okay.... Do these pictures that the "insider" showed this guy's friend actually move? Because this guy is describing movement. I dunno, maybe he had a flip book? Somehow I doubt it. Oh , and this story also sounds like BS. Why would they be "cursed" by seeing the ghost ship? By that logic, every fighter that ever stepped onto the ghost ship would be cursed. And the whole thing about the dream hunters....ugh. Again, sounds like a kid's imagination run wild.
"5- A new character is a woman who can bend light around her and look transparent like predator. I can’t remember more on her but she might be sonia."
Really? She can "bend light" and "look transparent?" Is she in the Fantastic 4? Is Jessica Alba in the next MK game??? Please....
"6- Midway says they are doing much focus on living forest for the fans demand is too much."
Umm, they've had the living forest in a few games now. I don't remember there being this huge ground swell of MK fans clammoring for another appearance of the Living Forest. It also kinda goes away from the whole "everything new" idea. It's possible, don't get me wrong, but it still seems kind of, I dunno, out of place I guess.
"7- Insider says that the main person Mr. Ed boon who created mortal kombat series was not happy with the working of the graphic engine. It is very much upgraded and is still worked about."
Okay... Not sure why he even bothered putting this part in. Ed didn't like the graphics but now he does. Check.
"8- other things mentioned are like the game will go online. There are big plans of downloadable fight stages, weapons and so on."
What!?!? MK is going online??? MK Deception is going to be so jealous! Seriously, we already knew this and we already could have assumed that there would be downloadable content.
Seriously, I know that we're all needy for information but half of this info sounds like stuff we already could've guessed and the other half sounds like it came straight out of a 4th graders trapper keeper. If these are all legit ideas that the MK team has, then I apologize for criticizing this friend of a friend of a source or whatever. And if it IS true, then the MK team has some serious creative constipation because that stuff sounded pretty bad.
But in all honesty, I don't believe any of the stuff that we couldn't have guessed already. I live in Chicago, that doesn't mean that that I have access to MK Team insiders. I seriously doubt that some guy working for the MK team is just going to pull out pictures to show some guy that works in a restuarant.
It's like that one douche who said he worked in the packaging department or whatever for Midway who said that Game Informer was going to run a big blowout story in it's February issue. They didn't.
Like I said, I know that everyone's hungry for news on this game, lord knows I am too, but if walks like a duck that's full of BS and talks like a duck that's full of BS, and it walks and talks like that to me, then....
"1- 30 minutes video that shows a series storyline They are doing multi-million dollars marketing campaign(gosh) for the new game which includes this video and it will be shown worldwide as TV advertisement even first time in Japan too."
Gosh indeed, who knew that Midway would spend MILLIONS on promoting Mortal Kombat? Oh wait, they always do. The 30 minute video will be shown as an advertisment on TV? Really? Isn't that about 27 minutes and 30 seconds longer than most commercial breaks last?
"2- There is a mini game... There is a ancient Chinese eating/drinking-wine place where two players will fight each other and peoples cheer them... it is played with holding your joypad controller in both hands and jerking and shaking it... turing the right side will get right punch and turning the left with deliver a left punch. It is like using the ps3 joypad with motion sensor."
Okay, I'm calling BS here. There's no way the MK team makes a minigame that will only work on the PS3 and not the 360. This really just sounds like someone's idea and they liked it so much that they turned it into a rumor.
"3- A new character /fighter is a sumo looking general from ancient china. He is a legend(or was a legend) who a emperor of china send on a quest to get the herb of eternal life a thousand years ago. But when he found the herb he ate it himself. Everliving life made his eyes open and he started worshipping in a cave deep in the earth. A apocalptic earthquake get him out to fight in the new mortal kombat. I’m not sure he will be in the game or not for it was concept art my friend mentioned, so not 100% sure. Got it?"
Yeah I got it. A storyline and character that sound like they were designed by a 4th grader. A "sumo general" who's a thousand years old because he ate an "herb of eternal life" so lived in "a cave deep in the earth" until an "earthquake got him out to fight." WHAT THE F#$%K IS THAT???
"4- There is a new fighter who wears jean pants and black leather coat and looks so much like the hero of “the Prey” game. The insider showed him a art picture which says he works at the docks(maybe a fisherman). He and his crew is among the very few unlucky who saw upon the mortal kombat ghost ship one day deep in the ocean and are cursed by it from then. They are hunted by girls who look like “the ring” film girl with long hair covering the face. There is a huge hole in the place of their mouth and no eyes. The girls are called ‘dream hunters’. A fellow is shown lying in bed and a girl is sucking his brain out while he is still alive. Our hero is shown running from them away from oceans all around the world like he is afraid of water. Then he is standing in a dark downtown street where suddenly bright light happens which invites him to fighting."
Okay.... Do these pictures that the "insider" showed this guy's friend actually move? Because this guy is describing movement. I dunno, maybe he had a flip book? Somehow I doubt it. Oh , and this story also sounds like BS. Why would they be "cursed" by seeing the ghost ship? By that logic, every fighter that ever stepped onto the ghost ship would be cursed. And the whole thing about the dream hunters....ugh. Again, sounds like a kid's imagination run wild.
"5- A new character is a woman who can bend light around her and look transparent like predator. I can’t remember more on her but she might be sonia."
Really? She can "bend light" and "look transparent?" Is she in the Fantastic 4? Is Jessica Alba in the next MK game??? Please....
"6- Midway says they are doing much focus on living forest for the fans demand is too much."
Umm, they've had the living forest in a few games now. I don't remember there being this huge ground swell of MK fans clammoring for another appearance of the Living Forest. It also kinda goes away from the whole "everything new" idea. It's possible, don't get me wrong, but it still seems kind of, I dunno, out of place I guess.
"7- Insider says that the main person Mr. Ed boon who created mortal kombat series was not happy with the working of the graphic engine. It is very much upgraded and is still worked about."
Okay... Not sure why he even bothered putting this part in. Ed didn't like the graphics but now he does. Check.
"8- other things mentioned are like the game will go online. There are big plans of downloadable fight stages, weapons and so on."
What!?!? MK is going online??? MK Deception is going to be so jealous! Seriously, we already knew this and we already could have assumed that there would be downloadable content.
Seriously, I know that we're all needy for information but half of this info sounds like stuff we already could've guessed and the other half sounds like it came straight out of a 4th graders trapper keeper. If these are all legit ideas that the MK team has, then I apologize for criticizing this friend of a friend of a source or whatever. And if it IS true, then the MK team has some serious creative constipation because that stuff sounded pretty bad.

Despite the fact that reading rumors is hell of a fun thing to do, I would wait instead of taking an arbitrary opinion from some guy.

Seriously, guys, these so-called "rumours" sound awful and not at all believable. Everything from the way this kid wrote his post to the nonsensical and depressing "news" he gave has my BS Alert System going wild. If the MK Team are making vegeterian sumo wrestlers who get stuck in caves before a magical earthquake makes them get out and fight, then we might as well put everything MK-related in a big pile, spit on the pile, and set fire to said pile.
Believe this if you want, I can't stop anyone from thinking as they wish. But personally, the "author" of these rumours could've at least tried harder and been more creative.

Actually LeoBrZ81, I don't know what to make of this one, but the ancient chinese fighter who ate that vegetable sounds like a good storyline to me. Is it true? I don't know. Count me as skeptical. But this is the kind of shit we need for the next MK.

I want to beleive this, but because the word "Rumor" is said on the title, makes me beleive that this info is FALSE.
But yet again, what do I know, not that many people enjoy hearing my opinion, but I'm still stating in.
MUFFINS!
