omg i wouldnt even buy it if dumbasses did that to me. MKvsDC is pure trash and newbiest of noobs that need to get their asses kicked by oldschool players, like us. But yet, their using the same engine from MKvsDC in this MK....wtf...

According to Boon, it's a different engine.

I can see the forum is back to 14 users. If this night is ever forgiven, it sure as hell is never going to be forgotten.

Lol! What a letdown! I knew I shouldn't have been so hyped up about this!
The least they could have done was reveal the official release date for the game, then the official countdown would have truly begun!

But now, we get Scorpion. Ah well.....

With all due respect to the giddy school girls of America, what exactly did people expect was going to happen? Isn't getting what you already had, in less impressive repackaged form, the entire premise of this game?...

Actually the guy doing the combo is going to school for game design.. He's very good at finding flaws and broken parts in the game. He's a friend of mine plays high level and was just showing me some shit that should definitely be fixed in the next iteration of the game. I honestly think he should be at Chicago right now testing the new mk game.

No.

I swear i thought it was the same one. But if not, that's A OK by me. lol and yeah, everyone was online waiting for something big. 73 ppl i seen online and now it's like 13 or 14 lol. and your damn right.

The people that havn't read about this "lovely info" are going to have a field day tomarrow afternoon. It's going to be swamped. Get ready for the flamewars tomarrow Temp.

*Flame Shield ON!!*

But they didn't give us that. The countdown ended with a render we had already seen along with an apology on twitter.

But less impressive repackaged form? I'm not crazy about the premise myself, but if we're talking graphics, this is definitely the best MK has ever looked.

Well coming from Ed Boon, its a "heavily modified" version of the unreal engine. So its a different version of the unreal engine basically.

hmm, a different version of the unreal engine? This could be interesting...

Well from what I've seen it's fairly impressive. I just hope whatever their fighting engine is doesn't have the same pit falls that the dc engine had.

Lets get one thing perfectly straight. A game engine and a fighting engine are two completely different things.

I've been offline for over 3 weeks now... this is the day i finally get onto mko.
Glad i didn't miss anything

Well I'm glad I didn't stay up all night til 8am for this.
As badass as that Scorpion pic is its not what i was expecting.
Did this really deserve a countdown?

I just hope they update it regularly.

As if Ono and Capcom wasn't trolling us wasn't bad enough. We got Boon and co. trolling us as well. My interest is starting to vanish.

I'm just glad I didn't stay up for this. The thought crossed my mind, but seeing as disapointment comes with the territory with being an MK fan sometimes, I'm glad I opted for sleep.

Happy Mortal Tuesday everyone.

I think I will go put a timer on my FB page with a little message saying something cool "begins" when it ends. You know, just cuz.

Epic fail.

First they screw up the timer, then we get a wallpaper after OVER two weeks of waiting.

I know there's more coming, but they should've been prepared for this.

*sigh* Time to go to work...

Kombat Begins in..SCORPION!!!

LOLWUT

I'm sure they're a bit embarassed by all of this. It sucks, but I'm sure that this wasn't their end goal either. I'm sure they're trying frantically to get everything up that they were saying would be ready and whether it takes a day or a week or longer, it'll happen.

Besides, by the time this game comes out, is anyone honestly going to care about Tuesday, October 12th and the day that the MK team delivered two renders after a countdown that lasted for weeks? I sincerely hope not.

As for all of this disappointment or whatever, I get it. This sucks. I'm not happy either. Just keep in mind that good things are coming, even if it takes a while. We still have a TON of info to be revealed about this game before it's release. The info will flow at some point and when it does, I'll say it again, the failures of yesterday and today will be (or should be) all but forgotten.

What did I tell you. I predicted that they would just rehash the leak from a few weeks back, and I was scrutinized for having such a crazy idea. First it takes them forever to finally get a working website, then they fuck up the countdown, and now this crap. When it comes to revealing information never doubt the craptastic job of Mortal Kombat's marketing team.

it now says "stand by"

http://www.themortalkombat.com/

which is probably code for us all to go watch the movie "stand by me"... thus hinting about bodies hit by trains... thus further hinting they are revealing the mk3 subway level! ok, ok i kid, but hey we need a bit of humor after the fuck up from last night, ey?!

GI kinda splills the beans on what we can expect.

"fans will be able to get a deeper look into the pasts of five classic fighters, including Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Mileena (?!?)."

Im not sure if this is an assumption, or something they know for a fact. But its more concrete than anything NRS has given us the past 48 hours

I chose to ignore everything from that post except for "Impressive Package" after realizing that Mick was just trying to pay me a compliment. Thanks buddy.
