Awesome.

Thank you ^ ; )


Yeah in addition to that...I'd like to say to the typical "whiners" on here bitching about FMV endings the story mode WILL HAVE CUT SCENES. That means FMV for your information to the "whiners" on here....

I swear some fans just want perfection or bitch for the sake of bitching now...shit getting old already. I mean look at SC4, sure they have FMV endings but THEY ALL SUCK regardless...so even if we had them, fans would bitch about "not being good enough" Midway is concentrating on the more important shit, deal with it already.

But I agree with what some have said, the FMV cutscenes will make up for the non-FMV endings. Why? Well, let's see here considering that there's not many playable characters in this game in total, and the fact that NPC's will most likely be within the CUTSCENES....yeah. Nuff said. I'm fine with that honestly.

Easter Eggs, hmmm

Overall I'm pleased with what's been said and spectator mode? hmmm now I'm even more pumped.

I'm getting antsy bro. Need this game more now, then a breath of fresh air to live lol.

No offense man but you bitch just as much prob even more than other people on here.

Ha, Ha that's a good one. Yeah...right. Actually, no you bitch(arguably the most on here) among others WAYYYY more then I do from my whole time on this site in one day on here with every little thing. You see I don't bitch about dumb stuff, I get irritated with the dumb shit certain fans are worried about as oppose to actual important stuff you should be more concerned about.....no offense

I am just glad the endings are not like the ones from MKA.
But picture endings??I thought Midway had moved pass this.Its not like they didn't have time.And I am not trying to bitch about it but come on,I think about 98% of ppl on here wanted FMV endings or cgi or whatever other then picture endings or the ones from MKA.Oh well,I am sure the game will still be fine and if thats the only thing not so great with the game I will be ok with that.

I don't mind the picture endings. I remember around the release of MK:DA reading where the MK team prefers them because it allows for them to account for a much larger amount of time past the tournament than the fmv endings of games like Tekken.

Also, howdy folks!

Honestly I'm not upset with the Image endings. It beats having those lousy KATA endings where most of the characters practically provide the same dull performance. As long as the pictures are good looking and the story makes decent sense (canon or not).

real time endings would be cool, but this will work. besides, since it's not canon, who cares how the endings are done?

There is no point in arguing with someone who is hardheaded and thinks they are always right.

Very good point ^ besides that, I'd also rather they put that extra effort and time into more important things like gameplay, online modes etc, balancing out the game etc.

@ Schooner, welcome to MKO bud. Be sure to read the community faqs above and long live MK dude.

This game is going to be awesome

what is spectator mode?

Awesome MKast. Lot's of great info this time around. Definitely way better than the last.

picture endings are okay..I'd rather there be CGI since they are using the UT3 engine for god's sakes.

Better than no arcade at all though.

For some reason, I kind prefer the high quality painted pics for the endings instead of fmv.

Does anyone else agree?

What in the fuck was ever wrong with that thing?
It was genuinely helpful.

This podkast wasn't bad...

O-m-g, dude, you REALLY ought to stop baiting arguments MKF. Whether or not you recognize what you're doing...THAT's exactly what you're doing with comments like the above quote of your words.

Truth be told man, "people" (you, in this case) who "bitch" about "people" who "bitch", are just as annoying as the frivolous "bitchers"//"haters"// "whatever you wanna call them".

You, someone who's been here for years, looks worse when you do that. And everytime you try it -- it gets more and more transparent. I'm perceptive enough to see what you're doing dude.

As such, you also might wanna brush up on how to respect others opinions without getting all "bent outta shape" about it. You already know people don't like stuff about this game, and this franchise right now. So what's the "subliminal shots" for eh?

Just sayin' dude, let people say whatever they want to without antagonizing them. They have the right to at least that on this site, just like you do. And if you don't want to respect that inherent "rule", then "you" "might" "not" "be" around" "here" "much" "longer".

"Are we good on that?"

EDIT PS: I am not gonna go into a big "argument thing" with you on this. Just stop doing that. You're cool and all but, I'll penalize you for antagonizing. Technicalities aside.

was john tobias on this one? he was supposed to be. If he wasn't then I don't give a shit.

I'm actually pleased to hear about the picture endings returning. I've always been of the opinion that they can tell more of the story (canon or not) then fmv's can.

Psyched to hear we may get a sneak peek at The Joker's fatal next week.

damn. well i won't bother either now

Spectator mode allows multiple online players in a lobby to view a match between two of the lobby's members. Just play Dead or Alive 4 online for a taste of what's to come. It's just like being in the arcade, waiting for your turn to cahllenge the current champ. You get to see people's asses get whipped and they get to see you get your's whipped too! . It's a great feature and will more than likely prevent quitters and pullers from ruining the online component of the game.

I heard Boon menton that there is a punishment feature in place for those who disconnect before the match ends in an effort to avoid losses. That is a big step in the right direction. They more than likey took a page from SNK's online punishment for pullers/quitters. If you pull, The guy still connected gets a win and you get a loss.

I remember seeing a video of Boon explaining how quitters will get labled as such if they disconnect. They will no doubt have trouble finding a match online after being labled.


Peace

EeuuoOKaaay then. Let's do it again shall we?

0:00sec - 4:30sec

Boy, you guys sure do have alot of defending to do don't you? Don't have anything really constructive to say about the perception of the company and all that. It's stuff I don't wanna care about as a fan.

I think I'd rather hear them re-hash, or re-cap old news. That, or dangle some new info front of us.

So anyway, I like the banter, so keep doing that part please. Sounded kinda grim coming into this MKast too. Like they were tired.

4:31sec - 14:15sec (John Greenburg)

- Wrong "John" guest (/Tobias joke) but a good choice.

- Thanks for touching on the roster info, people need to know that. More, need to hear it.

- Jokers laugh is better! Thanks for answering that question! (8:23secs) Sounds more "crazy as hell". Keep going that route.

- MK1-2 roster focus question answered. Thanks!

14:16sec - : sec

- YEA BABY! Thanks for the shout out Hector! I tried, and it worked. (14:45secs in)

No, you didn't get it wrong.

- How long will it take to get through the game?

So, that's 3hrs per side, or three hours to go through both combined?

- Cut scenes

- Cruntch-time. Development coming to an end

- Cameos are in. NonPlayableCharacters

- Downloadable content

- Storymode Unlockable content. On both MK and DC sides

- Multiple transitions, and arena specific transitions. "Different Stages have different transitions.

- Arcade mode endings. Painted renders unique for each characters.
references to the other sides characters in the opposing sides endings.

- Two different endings in story mode. MK & DC endings

- Every character has unique fighting style and stances.


END

===================


Wasn't really short, it just didn't cover alot, and the mood about this one was not as upbeat as usual. Otherwise it was still good.

+++If I had one Complaint//Concern, it's that they haven't done anything to the announcers voice yet. "Round 1" Round 2" "Fatality".....ect.

That thing sounds so old and tired I don't know what to do with myself. Still sounds like it lacks alot of audio texturing, vocal depth or range, and overall it just sounds like the voice actor is bored.

Sounds like they just had him "talk it", instead of getting enthused about a fight getting ready to start. Think about how it was in High School when somebody saw a fight was gonna happen. Right?

Well........"Round-One -- FIGHT!". Say it with conviction, give that thing some "muscle", then layer it with the "throaty" texture. After all that, THEN go in and darken//deepen the voice.

The thing sounds waay too smooth right now. I mean, if you listen to someone who has a naturally deep voice, it's like you can hear the vocal cord being strummed or something.

And atop that, if THAT person is kinda screaming "ffFFIGHT!" at you? You're probably gonna get a little more amped up right? Well, Imagine that voice in surround sound or something like that.

Anyway, yep that's all I got this time. I'll be updating the MKast Question Filter Thread soon.....maybe with an audio of my own (ahh haa, yea?). Cuz I see a problem there with all the questions that make the list. They may not wanna sit there and read that big ass list, and I wanna make it really easy for them to use that as a source.
