Queve...what you deem as an important character, the next guy could easily deem as an unimportant character...Cage, Kung Lao could be just as important as Bo Rai Cho, Li Mei, and Jax, to some people (not me...but some people)...


The intro was 5 minutes long...and it basically tells us the key points, of what happens to the deadly alliance.

Would I like it to have been abit more thorough about what happened to some of the old time favs, while also fleshing out the past of the Dragon King? Yes...but then, what would we need the actual game for then?


I am sure we'll find out more about Onaga.

I'm also sure we'll find out more about Kung Lao and Johnny Cage...but it's hard to cram EVERYTHING into one opening FMV....that's what the gameplay is for, that's what Konquest does, the krypt...beating the game with different characters...I think after that...if all of our questions haven't been answered...then it's fair to complain...but like I said...they can only stuff so much into an opening FMV.

The characters they chose to represent the final battle were fitting...and didn't fall into the "favorites" category...Shang and Quan were the bad guys...Raiden was leading the good guys...so it comes down to them, facing each other.

My only real gripe was that the Shang-Quan showdown was a little short...but that comes back to the time issue...how long can an opening FMV be for a fighting game? Heck, I could personally watch a 10 minute opening FMV for an MK game...as long as it didn't take anything away from the content...but that's why I am the one buying the game, and Ed Boon is the one making money off me and you

I don't think these game's strenghts are in the intro vids. I was surely disappointed with the MKDA intro video, not only for lack of story, but also the graphics and the fight.
I haven't actually seen this new intro vid, but I bet it will be the same kind of let down with me as it was in DA.

That's funny, cus I really likd the intro's of MK4, DA and DEFINITELY MKD.

It was awesome, and I know you agree the cinematics were great Queve. But I was pleased that not too much was shown. At first I was hesitant (for about 10 seconds) about watching the intro, but after I watched it I was not only happy that it is amazing, but also that it didn;t reveal all that much. Only about what happened at the end of DA and the begining of MKD.

Maybe they should have shown how the 'Earthrealm champions' got their asses handed to em, but I wasn't too bothered. I'm sure the game will explain everything...

Queve..I don't think that's all of it. The intro was supposed be very long ... and, if I'm not mistaken, I think the Baraka/Mileena fight that we've seen bits of in the trailers is part of the intro too...so perhaps it contiues after Shujinko is done speaking..to showcase other characters in the game and how they came to be involved in Deception. I really dont think that was all of it. Just my Opinion though.

The intro was leaked on the net, Midway asked themselves for it to be removed, they are pissed that alot of us saw it and that it was leaked.

I reakon Midway will change it completely so it's new to us again.

That would suck. They would have to come up with another idea, then they would have to create it. The game would be delayed big time. Don't even joke ab out that.

I don't imagine a intro of 10 or 12 min...

And the Baraka vs Mileena, I think that is like the Baraka vs Sub-Zero that we see in the MGSD2004...

I think the Mileena-Baraka fight was purely for the purpose of a trailer...maybe if you just sit there, and let MK: D run, you'll see it, in between some bios...like Scorpions kata, in MK: DA

Very possible..I didn't say that It was DEF the case..just speculation is all. That could very well have been all of it. Who knows? At any rate..I'm happy with it. I liked it alot.

I feel DISAPPOINTED...bacause I never got to see it.

I think that they don't tell much about the Dragon King because the intro says the Dragon King being there is Shujinko's fault...to me, that means that probably you'll find more info on Konquest Mode. So why put the info in the intro if you're going to learn it through one of the game modes?.

About the Baraka VS Mileena fight, I have a feeling they will do the same thing they did in MKDA; and that's keep the fight out of the game, and of course I'm going to hate that. Anyways, I think MKD's intro is really awesome; it says enough, and it sure is better than MKDA's one.

Not disappointed at all, even if I would have liked to have more infos on circumstances of Onaga return... Konquest Mode will be our friend...

I just don't like how it tried to be Mortal Kombat Z. The intro was of great quality but I just didn't like the little "kamehamehas". The actual hand to hand fighting was great though, just dissapointed there wasn't more of it.

I don't think it's the full intro and those who say that the Baraka/Mileena fight could be apart of the intro are probaly right. I guess the majority of the story will be told in Konquest, just like it was with MKDA. We know what we need to know to start us off. Gaps will be filled in as we play no doubt.

Im kinda disappointed, i was kinda hoping to see more chars. It was still very nicly done, good music and the graphics were awesome. I think it was better then the MkDa one.

No you got me wrong, I took that 'Intro' as a teaser anyway.

What I meant by change it was to keep the end result the same, just tweek things here and there so we ain't seen it before. I reakon the end result will be about 10 minutes myself.

I think the intros should be like Tekkens, where they show more characters. Mortal Kombats intros and storylines are still good though, especially when you compare them to other fighting games. For example, Tekkens are much longer but the characters look and sound so boring. In MK they look cool, and the whole plot and story keeps you wanting to see more where you actually look foward to beating the game. In other games, you just beat it to beat it or to get new characters.

So anyone who uses ranged attacks is guilty of being Dragonball Z'ish? Please then, explain how one would throw fire or lightning differently then, because god knows, Dragonball came up with the idea.

You misunderstand, throwing projectiles of energy is NOT copying Dragonball but shooting a continuous stream of energy which is unlike anything that has been seen in any of the MK games is. Not to mention the whole "Oh I blow up an entire kilometer and the bad guy comes out of the smoke without a scratch."

It only got rediculous after Onaga showed up.

What are you talking about, Dragon Ball didn't make that up. It's been around in old cartoons, even superheroe shows. Remember the Power Rangers? You keep shooting a beam without stopping, then the enemy is still standing. It's as old as anything, I think I even saw it on old Super Man movies and Godzilla ones.

...I'm not saying Dragonball made that up. I'm saying the intro was a little too DBZish for my taste that's it.

ditto.

They should show us in the Intro Movie what happened to Kitana, Kung Lao, Frost, Sonya, Jax and Cage. OK, we know they been beaten but how did the Deadly alliance overcome 6 people??

I loved it but I do think there will be another part the MK team has said that will see what happens to the DA then the Deception intro will start and will be intro duced to the Dragon King don't you guts remember when mortalkombat.org leaked that katania gets kidnapped Raiden dies(Sacrofices himself) ect....
