SCREENSHOTS ANYWHERE?

ALL-CAPS POSTS SUCK! Sincerely, SPOOn

i was wondering if Sheeva will be around in the game?

Guslan if you want to see screenshots for MK Shaolin Monks either buy the latest issue of Game Informer or wait for Midway to update the official MK Shaolin Monks website.

On topic, this game sounds promising.

Is it going to be on the current PS2 and XBOX or will it be on PS3 and XBOX 2?

Shaolin Monks sounds pretty cool... I'm just hoping Sonya isn't going to spend the entire game being tied up by Shao Kahn's throne. ;P

what he said. gimme screenies plspls

I was looking over the GI article again and I think im pretty sure one of the screenshots is of Noob Saibot. It shows him facing off against Kung Lao on the Forest level. At first I thought he was just a regular henchman but upon closer inspection it looks like Noob's 3rd outfit from MK4. Not the alt with the white hood, but the one with the skin tight grey body suit that makes him look like an alien. Well in this GI screenshot he has that look, glowing blue eyes, and is wielding a jagged sickel with teeth indentations on it. It actually looks more like a hook. For anyone that has this issue, do you know what im talking about?

This isn't Smoke? Or Smoke is in another screenshot?

some people are saying that they wish it was'nt a game based on the older games I personally love the fact that it is because we had no real character or story development until mk4 and mythologies ya know what im saying?

I strongly agree.

We had stories in MK1, MK2, and MK3, but they were very bland and dry. You knew what was going on but it wasn't in depth. I mean, for MK1 you can't say much besides Shang Tsung tried to merge the realms and Liu Kang stopped that. Ok, but then in MK2 it got into a big storyline.

I am pretty pumped up that we will be able to find out now, in full detail, about what really happened between MK2 and MK3.

If we are lucky, we will be able to see the battle between Kahn's forces and Earthrealm in the beginning of MK3 when he attacked. I'm looking foward to this game.

well if the opening is as cool as the Deception opening then I cant wait and see the opening to shaolin monks!!!

Are the chars wearing new costumes or classic costume from Mk2-3?? I really hope that they r the classics, i love old school Mk

probly old school im hoping, but Im wondering if this game is gonna be like you are behind the person and you press button combinations to do stuff like ninja gaiden or otogi 2 (gosh it just had to be on xbox and not ps2) because those look like they are alot more fun that just running around getting into fights. while im sure that most people think these are all out fighting games you can add plenty of elements in like arena interaction and objectives instead of killing all the enemies to get to a boss. if they did this then they could have a very good combo system that relied on more single attacks than just preentered commands and it could involve specials more for diversity instead of giving them three fighting styles. it would be more like classic MK how everyone did the same punches and stuff haha.

I really hope that you at least travel around in 3rd person even if you do have to fight in sidescrolling or something...I just hope they make a system that compliments itself well and outdoes deception by a whole lot
