I would put this in the noob thread, but this isn't about interpreting animals, little dots in the upper left hand corner, or finding out how many words can be spelled out from the crossword.

I'm curious to know what everyone is hoping to see when the clock ticks down. What type of "answers" are we going to get?

My hope is that we get a direct feed into the GDC press conference announcing MK8.

I'm hoping that the site gives us the first batch of renders (maybe two or three character renders) and the official title/logo of the next game. It would also be nice to see a firm release date nailed down, but I'm guessing "Fall 2008" is the best we'll get.

Ideally, I'd like to find out what Ed Boon is going to "shock" us with. What the big secret is. Of course, I'm also hoping that the recent rumors are proven to be completely unfounded.

Now, I'm expecting to see a bit less than that. Perhaps a logo. Maybe one picture that might not even feature any of the characters.

My worst fear is that the clock is ticking down to the answers of the crossword being revealed. Man would that be terrible. I just thought of that (and I'm sure hundred of others have as well) after the 90th time I've seen the word "answers" above the crossword and nothing else but the top logo for noob.com.

What is your best case scenario (within the realm of reality, I don't think that anyone expecting to see every character, background, secret etc revealed several months before the release).

What would be a let down to you? What are you expecting to see (ie, the bare minimum of what you think they'll do).

I dunno, I just have no idea what will happen after the next 19 or so hours. I'm on pins and needles here!! What do you guys think?

Great you just ruined my hopes and dreams by telling what answers could mean but seriously I hope they release a picture of Scorpion and Sub-Zero fighting each other so we can see what they look like but I must not get my hopes up

Best case scenario:
- logo and name
- launch of the new mk8 site
- a render or two

I would like to see a render or something like that.

But to be honest I don't want to expect anything so I won't get disappointed.

I say that they will probably show a tralier of Sub-Zero fighting Scorpion, like how the first (SF4 tralier was with Ryu vs Ken).

I expect to hear about all the returning characters, character specific fatalities (the return), and some arena's.

The least is a few renders of this and that.

An accumulation of stuff. But most of all to see that Noob is coming back.

Ever since they changed REPTILE'S appearance I thought he sucked. The latest version of him in ARMAGEDDON was way better than MK4. I would like to see him as he was in MK1--MKtrilogy. Trademark FATALITIES would be sweet too. All in all AMAGEDDON was cool and hopefully MK8 lives up to its reputation and isn't too different.

I hope they confirm that MK8 is not MK vs DC
That's what I hope. Even the Wii version deserves better than that.
At least give them a dummied down version of MK8 that they can handle.

i hope that they connect the story to armageddon somehow, im looking forward to hopefully seeing some "gameplay" in a trailer, and maybe introducing at least one or two new fighters and one or two of the returning fighters. and maybe some features as far as mini games and how online play is coming along. and renders would be cool too. im all about the numbers, how many players and arenas but obviously we probably wont get to know that today.

so i say a trailer of gameplay footage would be sweet! and a little tidbit on the story. thats all i want.

Hoping we see an awesome new dark MK, not some shitty crossover (i don't care how good the gameplay is) starring DC characters.

Yeah, what a day.

That would require doing MK8 for wii, all over again. Once you got the character models for Unreal Engine, they won't work with any other engine.
Hence Raiden in UT2. He looked somewhat like the DA version. But he had to be redone. Face and all.

I am hoping to see a preview video with ED Boon reassuring us that the long wait for news will be worth it when we see the game in action. Then fill us in on what we'll see at the Gamers Day followed by the trailer.

Who is to say they aren't going to use the Unreal 3 engine on the wii?

Ubisoft ported the Unreal 2 engine to the Wii for Red Steel.

Epic has already stated that one of their customers was working on porting the unreal 3 engine to the wii for one of their projects. But I have never seen it stated who it was, nor did Epic state it themselves.

Who is to say that it wasn't Midway doing it for Mortal Kombat?

I don't think the Wii is capable of handling the Unreal 3 engine.

I'm surprised. The Wii is supposed to be the most high-tech piece of gaming equipment out right now.

Not from a graphical point of view, but from an interactive, imaginative point of view it is.

They will have to do some work to the engine sure, but with the shaders removed and the lighting effects reduced and stuff like that (pretty much with some stuff removed or coded how it would have been in an older engine) there isn't a reason why they couldn't make it work. As long as the function calls are the same, the game doesn't care about what the engine does in the background. So if Xbox360 & PS3 want to handle RenderModel() one way and Wii handles it another way the game isn't going to care, just as long as RenderModel() does something that doesn't crash.

It isn't going to be as simple as chaning 1 or 2 lines of code by any means, but with a team that is dedicated to porting it, it should come out just fine. Epic was talking about this back in Nov 07 about this team working on porting it so who ever it was has been working on it for awhile. Epic themselves didn't want to do it as they didn't want to spend money and time back porting their software as they won't have gotten as much out of the deal. The end user however will make the money from the copies of the game that they sale.

I guess we will know during the next 24 hours if it was them or not.
