me 2. its just enough to hold us over untll the next character reveal

This was excellent. I've always wondered what brings the forest to life.

Dammit NRS! Stop making everything look so awesome! My heart's not gonna be able to hold out over the next half-year!

Cant wait fo the Fatality

Nice.

Also, this means that the MKII trees obviously ate Ed Boon at some point. :D

I don't think it's awful, but I do think they need to change it to something more menacing. This announcer that's in there now sounds too....authoritative? Sounds like he's telling you want to do ("Finish him//her") all the way through, even though it's declarative by the time we get to the "Fatality" part.

Don't "order me" to "fatality"... express that it's what happened.

The other thing about it:

It depends on which character's voice this is supposed to be. Sounds like it could be Quan Chi from MKvsDC. Rather than Shao Kahn or Shang Tsung from MK1-3.

Shao Kahn's original voice actor (forgot his name, forgive me...Richie? something...) sounded more raspy, airy, and intimidating. He was authoritative when it came to the "Finish Him!" or "Fight!" part, dragging out the "F" (FFFFight!). Then, he sounded menacing and very pleased at the same time when it came to the "Fatality" part. Remember Shang Tsungs face in the first MK movie[2:40sec]?

We need the voice actor to be able to differentiate these things, and give some of those qualities to MK's announcer.

Don't count on it. The Living Forest has never had a fatality and I think they're going to stick to that.

That was the highlight of the video!! Back at E3, I expressed a lot of interest in the idea of characters speaking throughout the match depending on the moves you perform, and this seems to have been implemented very well after seeing the Jax gameplay, and now this Mileena tidbit! :D LOVE IT!

P.S.: I don't own your enslaved ass anymore? I'll forgive you because that new sig rocks the Earth.

It just shows how deaf I am. I thought Mileena said ____ ____ Taste... dont ask!

Cool video! We have been spoiled this week.

You never know how things will turn out this time around
I bet that it will have a Fatality, 10 bones on it

No love for the MK4 incarnation of the Living Forest? MK4 is part of the legacy too. Why you gots to hate,NRS? ;_;

I agree. If anything the boring MKD version is the one that should have been left out.

That new sig picture rocks the Planets on three different dimensions and Galaxies!

I absolutely LOVE it! Good job Keith.



Agreed. That was my favorite thing from this video.

The backstory on the living forest was pretty cool too, not that we didn't know this before, but, it's cool to have it "officially stated" and confirmed.

Great video!

You'll always own mah enslaved ass.



Thanks guys!

Seriously buddy, it makes her beautiful ending picture a thousand times better. How did you do the Energy Rings? Your sig is pure awesomeness.

Just some shapes in Photoshop with some glow effects and colour changing. :D Thanks man!

I'm looking forward to the next Environment Bio - I'd love Jade's Desert. Always wanted to know more about there.

I expect the next stage bio will be the Dead Pool. They seem to be going in the order that stages and characters were revealed or are listed in, and the first three stages we saw at E3, the three that have gotten THE most screen time in every preview so far, have been the Pit, Living Forest, and Dead Pool.

Dead Pool's cool too. Happy enough with that. I'm really impressed with all of the stages so far. They're all gorgeous and very nostalgic.

Glad to have gotten this don't get me wrong, but an environmental bio on Fatality Friday? I can't express enough on how lost and ass backwards this marketing team seems to be.

. . .and yeah Keith, awesome sig!

It doesn't seem to be as good as it was in the past but it's early yet and we're doing well so far. The game's a good few months away - perhaps as it gets closer there'll be some Fatality Fridays and other fun stuff.



Thank you! And right back at you!

watch this and you ll see frost and kenshi fighting on the background on 1.16 min

Exactly. And the trees eating the players is just one of those ideas that sounds cool when you're a kid, but inevitably looks ridiculous when you actually see it done (Shaolin Monks).

What in blazes are you talking about?

I'll just assume "ridiculous" is robotspeak for "FUCKING AWESOME".

They're monstrous fucking trees with faces! It'd be unnatural if you DIDN'T want to see them eat somebody.

I don't know, I gotta agree with fedegita here. The trees eating people in Shaolin Monks just looked kind of stupid. It was very underwhelming. Perhaps MK9 could do it better. I did enjoy the humanoid trees that impaled characters though - those were very cool.
