We haven't heard anything about the krypt in this game for quite some time. (Since the Ed Boon interview in Gamepro in March/April?)

Is it still in the game?
We haven't even since a single image of the krypt yet....have we?

It was suggested that it was going to be significantly smaller than MKDA Krypt.

Is it going to work the same way?
Is each fight going to be worth a set amount of koins?

I'm guessing that if it is in the game, then it will have alot to do with unlocking characters & their 3rd costume or something along those lines.

In that last Ed Boon video, Ed Boon said that you're gonna use the money you find in Konquest to unlock in the krypt.

I guess there won't be a Krypt, the unlockable stuff will be in Konquest! IMO, not sure

Oh ok.
I didn't see that video so I guess that explains how that works.

But we still have not seen any images of it.
I hope it has changed somehow and not as boring as it was.

I'd like it so that it is almost a walkthru itself. And not all krypts are available from the start. Maybe after a certain amount of playing time more koffins will appear.

So you still don't have to buy the existing koffins. You might want to wait for more to be released or something. And it doesn't necessarily mean that all the good ones are revealed last.

Just a thought...

They should have the krypt IN konquest, for ex. theres a certain area where u(shujinko) can go once in a while just to unlock stuff whenever u want to, u just run up to a coffin and it will ask if u want to unlock a certain thing or not... will that be coo?

Yeah it would, but I don't think the developers are going to do that. I believe the hidden characters are going to be in Konquest waiting to be found, while characters such as Noob Saibot and Raiden are going to be purchased in the Krypt.

I hated the fact that there were so many useless things in the Krypt during Deadly Alliance. I remember wasting around 1,000 platinum coins over a godamn screen test of a level that wasn't even in the game. I could have used that to unlock Cyrax but instead I had to wait every 3 rounds to get the oppurtunity to get those Koins.

I would just rather have the character's history in the Krypt, I would think it would be cool if you could unlock videos in the Krypt that are just like the Ign.com videos of Raiden, Mileena, and Sindel. Those videos could tell you why those characters were put into a Mortal Kombat game, and what inspired them to create such a character.

Other than that and levels, extra weapons, extra costumes, sound boards, and codes that disable certain things I would rather have the Krypt not have any damn photos. I would however like to see a definition for the fighting styles and learn about where they come from and what region on Earth they are practiced.

I hope it has a different approach to open them up, like someone said with Shujinko running up to them or something. It became trite after 400 of the same ways. I would like it if you were allowed so much space at once, and you have to spend time digging them up to find the koffins, some being hid deeper and some easier to find. Or taking it into different areas.

Not a great idea. What would you do with money earned in arcade?

you woul still need the money to purchase, but it just adds a little more complexity to it rather than just picking one out of the blue.

Here is a pic of the main select screen. It's blackened out, but you can obviously see 'The Krypt' and 'Kontent'. Also not shown in the pic are 'Player Profile' and 'Game Options'.

I really didn't mind all thr things in the Krypt. The skecthes for characters that didn't make it into the game were neat. Also the earlier concepts of characetrs and stages. I always like seeing how they were designed vs what we got in the final version.

The only things I didn't really like were the MK team in different fighting stances, a lot of the MK merchandise, and the early video render tests.

I loved all the "useless" items in the Krypt, possibly because I'm the kinda guy who will watch every single special feature on a DVD. :p

I'm hoping there will be lots of cool stuff in this game's Krypt, though obviously not as much. Maybe the Koffins will be more expensive. ;)

I remember there being a thread about this in the first few months the game was anounced. I had a concept for the Krypt. It would be a graveyard, filled with fog, and it would be outside this time. There would be bare trees, and Death would roam the grounds. He would be visible when he was close by but in the distance, all you could see was a lantern that he carried. Also, the Krypt would be more of a graveyard, with the koffins in different places. There would be koffins with misc. stuff outside, which would cost anywhere from 25-700 coins. All of the good stuff, like characters costumes, areanas, weapon skins, and bios would be in a mousalium. Everytime you unlock something, an animation would happen where Death would reach into the koffin and pull out a glowing soul, hat would tell you what you unlocked. If it was a character, they themselves would bust out of the Koffin.
