well, with the supposed release date 6 months away, they should have quite a bit to show off. im sure they will save some for e3.

i would really love to see some in game footage but i doubt that will happen.

all i expect to see is a render or two and some dumb explination along with promises of "whats to kome"..that wont end up in the game because of dorks wanting meat, 500 finishers and a release date of 3 weeks.

Good Question:

1. An OFFICIAL Teaser 1-3minutes long. Something that compares in time length to SC4 or SF4's teasers.

2. Full body stocks//renders, including almost all of whoever is in the teaser. Shouldn't be many I imagine, so some "mystery" around one or two of the teaser characters would be appreciated.

Don't show us any mortals though..just immortals(saay Scorion, and not Sub-Zero in this case). A personal preference I guess. But it plays into the story. It would make sense, and give the impression that "only the immortals//undead survived Armageddon". 2-3 old characters...1-2 new characters. Or whatever..

No more than 5. Safely assuming that the roster will be considerably smaller, they could come out with 5, and give us 1 - 2 other characters(or something else), every other month, until release without unveiling everything that way..?

We'd still get an adequate surprise when we buy the game that way too.
5 characters to start, a total of 7, two months later, a total of 9, four months later...then release.

3. The Premise for the story & Gameplay. Only a summarized idea. Interview 3-4 MKTeam members..let a woman who is on//associated with the team talk. Fresh start...fresh faces.

4. Art direction. 1-2 arenas or something...Or they can just talk about it in the interview.

5. Whatever they're planning for online stuff. 1 or 2 of the modes for interaction online. Keep that "big surprise" a secret just yet.

That's all I'd want to see//hear at this point so far off release.

Probably a trailer, some character info and some renders. Some screenshots, gameplay info, modes, and a bit of the direction of where the story is going.

Yeah I think basically everyones
saying the same sorta thing. Teaser, some characters...etc.

Yeah I forgot to mention, like The Predator151 said, see what
there doing with the online modes, but I dont agree on you saying
not showing Sub-Zero, well I want him to because he's my
fav character, still I think they will show Sub-Zero cause ya know,
well I hope so cause he's my fav :D

Wow. I wanted to laundry list, but everyone's already said just about everything that I was going to say. But since we're predicting, I'll try a little bit anyways:

Six characters revealed

Scorpion and Sub Zero, the symbols of the game, will both be revealed since everyone knows they'll be in it anyways.

1 new idea will be hinted it (ie the surprise) in the trailer, but it won't be revealed outright.

Of the four new character revealed (totaling six as I said), 2 of them will be very well spotlighted, one not so much and the last one will be a very quick glimpse.

All of this gamers day stuff will lead up to a Game Informer blow out cover story next month (one can only hope!) where we find out the surprise and see about four more characters revealed and we get more info/renders on the original six.

I'm also guessing two, maaaaaybe three backgrounds get shown.

I would also assume that if there's a big press conference type thing at Gamers Day, we'll find out about the standard modes as well as create a character and online.

I just want to see MK8. I don't cair what form it is in I just want to see something of this game and that will do.

lol
yeah......
I kinda dont care, well I do but if anything i just
want some MK8 info

And I hope GameInformer has lots of info with a big cover
page to

game play man

I just wanna no what characters are returning.

Whatever the new, unexpected thing that they're doing is, that's supposed to blow everyone's socks off, is what I want to see. That's it.

Proof that is isn't some faggot crossover game with some faggot franchise like faggot Primal Rage. So all the faggots will shut up about it.

I just hope it shows lots of faggots .....


I mean ...... Seriously I want to see game play. If all we get is just a quick CG teaser im gonna be pissed.

Gameplay. That's what I want to see.

yeah the gameplay I definetly wanna see,
also I really want to know what the graphics will
look like, and how the new engine works...if you
know what I mean.

Mortal Kombat 8.
PM me if you're confused.

I want to see:

- Highly detailed character models.
- A trailer with a brief glimpse of an unknown character (via RE5), or a fatality teaser at the end.
- A stage with an indoor/outdoor stage transition for example: fighting on a church balcony, hurled through a pane of glass, and continuing the fight in the graveyard outside.
- An interview from Ed Boon and others from the team clearing up what happened since Armageddon.
- A new blood effect.
- If online will be worldwide, and like a virtual arcade.
- The nuances to this new fighting mechanic.
- Gameplay videos.
- Fluid character movement, realistic body physics, and costume changes: getting dirty, wet, ripped, etc.

On the contrary to some on here:


-It's key to show Scorp or Sub because of A.they're flagship MK characters and B. to get an idea of what everyone will look like, the newer, better, darker, mysterious look to MK hehe

-Or if not Sub or Scorpion, Fujin or Raiden at least.

-A teaser vid, but nothing 3-5 min's wayy too long and kills the point of "teaser" vid I'm thinking a min MAX, 45 seconds something like that. Remember, teaser vid, not official trailer...

-Some kind of interview with Ed Boon, this I'm sure will happen whether live taped or transcript.

-An answer at some point to this rumor of "crossover" in general since all it is right now is just "a rumor" I'd like to see midway's/Boon's responce to that

-Perhaps a few hints, scoops on gameplay and online factors/modes, what changes will be made at least an idea. More or less something more then just the "MK will be reinvented, and will have the UR3 engine" that we were told back post MKA

-Update on the wii version or any Wii MK titles, since the graphics on the wii isn't as powerful as 360 and PS3 I'm very curious to see what they have planned for the wii

-Somewhat accurate release date or at least the exact month. Let's face it, people that claim November including Midway that can always change. I remember that's happened with MKD and MKD with October releases/November and kept changing until the week before with the exact date. Not saying an "exact date" at this point but just a good idea I guess other then Fall 08.

-Amount of characters roughly, I'm sure they can't say "the exact amount" at this time for several reasons, however I'd just like an idea. average of 20-24 or 30 max? Or perhaps just a smaller number like 15 or something and a good idea of newer characters as oppose to older ones.

That's all for me hehe

I dont think you will see anything really.
Maybe a chat with boon and a bit of info on a new character.
The real info wont appear until E3.

REALLY!?

ermm well I really hope that theres
MK8 info at Midway Gamers Day,
all this waiting is getting me hyped

The countdown clock will run out before E3.

I'm a lot of others. I hope they just give out a little bit now. Then come e3 give out a lot more.

Although I think I would like to see a realtime battle played out just to show off what we can expect. Wouldn't even have to be long, just about 30 - 45 seconds.

A lot of the above and especially the title.

- a teaser trailer
- info on the gameplay
- info on amount/type of characters ( with a few confirmations)


That would be enuff. I was hoping for sum in game action, but I think that is too much for now.

Yeah I was thinking should there be any gameplay,
I think that they should give us a picture (gameplay) of
sub-zero and scorpion in there stance's about to fight like
you would see at the beginning of a fight in a new area....
they could use that for a teaser for the gameplay..not as a teaser all
together as in a video just a teaser for what to expect to see maybe
graphic wise etc.
