Ok I read the article. Most of it is nothing new but there are some interesting things.

They say that Kratos will have his own arena, story, special moves and fatalities.

FML, so much wasted resources. Every time I start to feel excited again, I get kicked in the balls.

Regardless, Sindel looks nummy and holy shit Sonya loses a LOT of clothing through battle damage, lol. I'm not complaining though.

I embrace all of Mortal Kombat's over-the-top nature. The skimpy women only add to the fun for me.

Sindel looks amazing. Sonya awesome. Ermac looks like he is gonna kick some ass.

Also kratos jumping at jax theres a statue of reiko thought that was a little weird. But yea I hope they dont spend that much time on kratos I'd rather them do other kratos.

And can they please give us some gameplay vids? Especially of ermac, sindel and sonya.

Sounds like a case bad case of TMK Butthurt to me.

I hope kratos' story is a 'what if' type of deal, if they actually incoprorate him into the story ill be choked, but i dont think they will since the story should be the same on the xbox, sans kratos

Wow. I really don't know what to say.

"Hey, let's fuck up the story so much that we make a new game going back to the time of the first three games, now let's bring in a guest character with no connection to Mortal Kombat at all and give him his own story!"

Great job, NRS. I've come to expect nothing less...

ever since mk 2, the female characters have always wore revealing costumes, we got characters ripping each others heads off, and people are concerned about the females showing a some skin..its mortal kombat, not mario.

a bit old?? well she is thousands of years old, but so is Kitana so thats kind of a moot point.

i knew they were going to give kratos an what if, mkvsdc story.

Even the non-canon playable characters deserves a bio & ending...

FUCK'S SAKE
why cant people tell the difference between a character HAVING HIS OWN STORY and a character BEING A PART OF THE STORY. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. kratos will of course have a story, otherwise his arcade would just be pointless. but it will not be canon. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? IT WONT BE CANON. he might kill raiden and all the the elder gods in his ending or whatever i dont give a shit, but it WILL. NOT. BE. CANON. now when nrs announce that kratos' story will be canon, that is when we can all be pissed off. but it wont be. batman had a fucking story mkvsdc. its not canon. you can just totally ignore it. OK?!?!?

sorry to rant, but im just getting so pissed off with people making this same fucking complaint in all the kratos threads

I agree with the other guy! he should just be there to beat the crap outta, i dont care why hes here i just dont want him in, he'S messing up the MK story!

I just want the original full MKT cast!!!

Kratos deserves nothing but the boot.

MKvsDC was a totally different game than this. I've held the belief that Kratos shouldn't even be there in the first place, so I'm going to say that I think it is stupid that he should be there with his own story. He should've JUST BEEN DLC.

dont yall ever get tired of crying and complaining, wipe ur tears, Kratos has an arcade ending...boo hoo.

Give him his own "just so he has one" Bio and Ending. Keep him out of main canon and I dont give a damn.

For those who dont like Kratos. JUST BUY XBOX360 version! Problem solved!

mate, i didnt want kratos in this game either. really. id have preferred rain, or sheeva or any post-mk3 character. but if hes gonna be in (which he is) he has to have a bio and an ending, even if its not canon (which it wont be). i am certain he wont appear in story and he wont have anything to with the other mk characters. you can literally just ignore him, as i plan to.

Forget Kratos for once... I hope they finally start to update the website with character artworks and bios of the other already revelead characters... Can't wait to have a high-res Ermac render.

By far the best new look so far

Raiden screwing up Shao Kahn's ruling perhaps?
I'm glad to see Sindel, and a bonus with the background views.

If the magazine is in any way similar to the attitudes of the Slovakian and Czech gaming magazines (SCORE, Riki, L.E.V.E.L.) that might not be true.

I have stashes of those mags from 1996 and on where they clearly said Sub-zero killed Scorpion in MK3 in retaliation for murdering Sub-Zeros family. Go figure.

I still regularly read through some of the contemporary ones. not much has changed.

He's already been confirmed to NOT be in the storymode.

Sindel looks good. Not sure but didn't see the Black Streak in her Hair =?

Still don't care for Sonya's look. Think it's rather dull now that I see it fully.

Ermac looks great, Kratos to.

@ People spamming UMAD etc pics. Needs to stop or Skulls will be given. Fair warning.

Sindel looks very "doggystylaty" worthy to me and Sonya as well.

She have a black streak in her her if you look closely.

What strikes me the most is that there is no single word about Sindel, Ermac or new arena from the background in the whole articlle.
It is a review of an early build of a game. Reviewer is very excited about it and gives 9/10.
For me personally there is no point of doing such reviews.
