Yeah, you surely do not slam your laptop against a hotel wall just because you were denied exclusive content.

Well, I hope not.

Some countries have stricter ratings than others. If MK was banned in Germany because of the gore and violence, there's nothin' you can do about it.

Terrified that Cyber Sub-Zero is actually possible. Where is MKDan?

If there really is a Cyber Sub-Zero, I want it on record that I was the first guy to see this coming and warn everyone that MK9's storyline was going to turn out to be a huge mistake.

*pulls out handy dandy notebook*

I've been getting less and less optimistic with the chances of this story succeeding. I've gotten to the point that I'm pretty much expecting an MKSM level of story

whoop dee doo to you even if it is. I don't mean that in a mean way, simply that this was something that a LOT of people were saying.

I don't know whats going on, but I can sense immense over-exaggerating (or under-exaggerating) going down.

I seem to be one of the very few who doesn't give a shit about Cyber-Zero. The MK team were no Coen Brothers to begin with.

Yeah...a lot of people were saying it after I said it the first day of E3.

I'll just cut to the chase. "Razor knows best" is where I'm going with this.

Cyber Sub would be a huge mistake. Character-wise, it's probably the worst they could do. Granted, if he was not a part of the story at all and just existed as a sort of bonus character or alt costume I'd be ok with it (but still a little peeved; if he ever comes about, it should be thru DLC).

But if he's in the story? Huge mistake. Nothing would make me cancel my preorder, but that would come damn close.

This thread is just bumming me out now and not knowing what exactly the hell is going on is making me think something bad has accured.

See, I can't think like that. If he did come into fruition, he would have a reason to. Plus might I add, as I always love to do, we know JACK SHIT about the plot.

Y'know, the more of these tweets I read, the more I think whatever "happened" over there has nothing to do with the game itself. It looks like the MKUniverse guys got into some sort of argument with a couple WB executives who handle publicity or something like that and aren't members of the NR studios team.

It's probably like I suggested first. They likely got denied access to something and then witnessed them giving access to someone else. The part about WB "making fun" of them would be rather unacceptable, if that really happened, but everything is just speculation until he comes here to let us know what happened. That is, if he does.

I know a lot of people feel that way, which is why I never really WANT Cyber-Sub to be in the game. But I'd be willing to accept it if they didn't make him part of the story or try to shoehorn him in by any means. This would lend him perfectly to DLC in my opinion. I'm not saying I'd like it (Chameleon was a disaster; he managed to fuck Reptile's story without even having one of his own), however I'd at least accept the concept if they inserted him similarly to how they did Classic Sub-Zero, MK2 Jax, Human Smoke, etc., in MKT. Just for multiplayer funsies.

I think it has to do with WB people since he also tweeted "Believe me, the new MK is Very cool its awessome man,this is a MK Game this is Moooortal Koooombat".

also for the Germany thing I dont know how stuff works there but cant they just import it? I know the 360 is region locked but the PS3 isnt so you can import games without worrying about it.

I am guessing though we wont be seeing any of the interviews or anything extra from MKUNIVERSE then. Most disappointing.

I believe Crow hit the nail on the head...aside from Mkdan's tweets he was with mkucast (or something similar) and his tweets hint that TotalMK was right about his ranting from E3 (that fan sites got shafted with photos, vids, etc). 2-3 WB staff gave them problems, and he said they lied to them...but the game looks great and the NR staff were cool. I am hastily paraphrasing this...but that's what I get from the tweets.

What the fuck is so wrong with a Cybernetic Sub-Zero? There are two of them. One can NOT die and one can get automated.

That's my thoughts too but will piss off so many people, because they love these fake characters and their fake lives. I just want some cool shit!

But its all about principals. While I'm not too fussed, a lot of people have a problem with such an established character like younger Zero being automated. I think, if handled correctly, it could bring some really awesome repercussions to the plot...but that's if done CORRECTLY.

The only major problem I have is having two ice powered fighters. Takes the unique-ness away from Sub Zero being alone.

So then we have two Sub-Zeros and no Noob Saibot? Why? How is this a good idea?

Noob Saibot is a throw away character and who says if subbie is automated they don't give him a black coat of paint and call him NOOB

agreed. it would be mk5 again or umk3. i really liked frost's design and powers but if we already have 1 cryomancer we really do not need a 2nd. it would be as redundant as having a 2nd fighter that is just like scorpion or 2 reptiles, etc.
