Wow, wait until x user hears about this LMAO

Looks like I'll be playing as Kitana and Jade a lot more.

You're isolating and misinterpreting a very small part of what I said. And there's really no reason to call me "f*cking retarded" over it... hope I see some skulls on that in the near future...

Anyway...

Of COURSE free stuff pleases people. Duh.

That said, pleasing us is still not NRS primary objective with the free compatability packs. Their goal is to get people to keep their games up to date. Doing so ensures their online community stays united, and their game stays fun and viable that much longer. Other games that haven't offered compatability packs split their online communites, to the point where online versus was no longer fun, and the online aspect died out. Thus making less people want to play their game, and hurting their longterm sales.

I say again, these free compatability packs are NOT about pleasing us. They're a free carrot on a stick to tempt us into patching our games, which is what NRS ACTUALLY wants.

The fact that we enjoy carrots is just an added bonus. For us and for them.

Well now I guess that's no surprise I just hope they do UMK3 male ninja palette swaps since Kitana,Jade,and Mileena are officially getting their last retros. I'm glad I bought the season pass and I'll take any free DLC anytime and anyday

I'm so lost right now. What happened? My cable(TV and internet) has been down for a couple hours, is there a link or something for the MK2 skins?

I was wondering that myself, I don't doubt anybody, but I wouldn't mind seeing it myself.

Tyrant-Cenobite said so.

No, but Tyrant-Cenobite vouches for them.
I'm guessing he knows someone involved.

Right, I saw that. I was talking about a link( I just assumed there was one), thanks anyways though. As I said already, I don't doubt him.

What if it's MK2 Sub-Zero and Reptile?

Very well said sir.

Then it would be MK2 Sub-Zero and Reptile, but its not.

We recieved an official press release confirming Jade and Kitana.

There will be a Trailer released for them somepoint tomorrow along with a Render.

Gameinformer has already reported on the MKII skins also.

Press release:

"Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios present an all-new video introducing players to the latest DLC warrior, Rain, a power-hungry fighter who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. The third of four new downloadable warriors, Rain will be available on Microsoft Xbox LIVE for 400 Microsoft Points or $4.99 on PlayStation Network starting on July 19th. Rain will be available on the same date for users who have purchased the Microsoft Season Pass. Also releasing on that date will be a free compatibility pack featuring two klassic skins – Mortal Kombat 2-inspired Jade and Kitana."

lol well said.

Here's your proof nonbelievers:

Wishful thinking. Nothing to get all excited about

Thank you, much appreciated



Nobody was saying they were wrong or didn't believe them, just asking for a link, thanks for sharing though

It feels really good to be right.

But see, that's exactly my point. In all three packs there was one character you use, and one character you almost never use. And you were enticed into downloading them simply because you use one of the two characters.

Now lets say, just for the sake of arguement, one pack had been Sektor and Noob, two characters you say you rarely use. Would your interest in that pack not be significantly less than a pack with a character you DO use? (Of course, you might hypothetically download it anyway... but then again, you might be a person who wouldn't. Don't have the hard drive space maybe? I dunno. Some people are like that.)

Now let's say you didn't buy Skarlet, and you HATE Mileena. *Shrug* Do you bother downloading the pack?

Releasing a compatability pack with two characters EVERYONE has, as opposed to a pack with 1 character everyone has, and 1 character a large chunk of people don't have, increases the likelihood that more players will be interested in downloading at least one of those two characters.

With Skarlet, as I said, they're guaranteeing that every person who didn't buy her will be at least 50% less likely to have an interest in downloading the update. And I don't see them or any other company taking that risk unnecessarily. Ever.



Granted.

I'm always right.

This thread needs moar butthurt. I want to feast upon it.

I would of LOVED Sonya and Subby!

Thanks Queve for bringing my hopes up

Rain+MK2 Kitana & Jade= Edenian Pack

Kitana and Jade's MK2 outfits, huh? Poor Mileena.

Makes sense to me

Wishful thinking despite confirmed news of the contrary is ridiculous. It's Tyrant's job to find out this information.

Tyrant does one hell of a job.
