My prediction is that Rayden is the big bad.

I really like the "detective"-ish vibe coming from that hatted character.

You might be on to something there. Perhaps Dark Raiden makes a comeback. I am still miffed that we didn't learn more about Dark Raiden in the prior series. Ah well.

If they go that route, I hope it is an interesting story, and not just a rehash of how Superman turned power-hungry in Injustice, but just slapping Raiden's name on top of that story.

I played too much Saint's Row. I see the character with the hat, my mind immediately wanders to Pierce.

This is the what I enjoy when it comes to speculation. People analyzing silhouettes like they can tell exactly who they are, long before they're even announced.

Same here. It is one of the most enjoyable aspects of a new MK release to me: getting together with everyone on here to try and find out who everyone could be.

But it is going to be very, very different with this release though. I am guessing there are going to be more new characters in this game than any MK game previously. so it is going to be really difficult to pick out any returning favorites from this cast.

I kind of agree that Raiden could possibly be the main boss of the game. Or what about Liu Kang. In his ending it stated he defeated Raiden and became a deity himself. Sure the new protector of Earthrealm but he looked evil to me.

I do not like the multiple character idea right now. So we choose the Scorpion with the swords does it mean he will not have the same style as the other two as far as specials go? This is like a revamped MKV or Deception to me with you being able to use only 1 of 3 stances.

Thanks for posting this. Didn't bother going through the already 10 pages of posts of this thread, so I'm just gonna post my own thoughts on this.

This game seems like a whole new game of the series. Where MK9 was supposed to be MK1-3 reboot, this game has the feel of being a completely new one that isn't a reboot of any of the previous games, but as Boon said, this game's story will go over 25 years, so there might be some elements from past MK games, but overall it sounds like this is a completely new era.

The gameplay looks great, but I'm a bit on the fence of the 3 modes each character has. It sounds interesting, but I'm not that much of a fan of splitting one character up into 3 different playstyles. I'd rather have them all put into one so I can do whatever move I like when I want to during the fight. That said, it's still a new and fresh concept, it might grow on me as we learn more.

The graphics are stunningly great! It looks alot darker and grittier than MK9, not that many bright colours, if any at all, but I do hope we will see some stunningly beautiful stages with alot more colour in them so it won't all look like it has been smeered with dirt. But the character designs and the stages look really cool, I'm even impressed with Scorpion's new look, so that's definately a good thing.

So far, D'Vorah and Kotal look like characters I'd like to play, not so impressed with Ferra/Torr and Cassie, but again, it is still early.

My overall thoughts so far:

1. I like the look of the new game. It looks as MK is supposed to be, dark and gritty and it has that feel to it.

2. Not too impressed with the three character style splits on the character select screen. When I originally heard "multiple versions" of each character I of course assumed it would be a revamped Trilogy maybe where we'd have duplicate versions of each fighter to choose from each with their own finisher and moves but this sounds like Mortal Kombat V, Deception or Armageddon where you have to choose your fighting style. Sad thing is you get one style to choose from. So not too impressed with this feature yet. Maybe I'll change my mind after playing it?

3. I like some of the new fighters that we have seen so far. Ferra/Torr (is that correct) I like a lot. It is funny and would be annoying to have this little girl yelling all the time. Every time I hear it I crack up. Someone else asked this and so will I: When they get a Fatality done to them what happenes? Do they both get the same Fatality? Does the girl stand in front of the huge guy and Scorpion's Fatality that we've seen goes right through them both? This is a puzzle to us so far.

4. I like the arena with the water and bridge. Cannot remember what it was called but it reminds me of the Bridge of Immortality except the water isn't blood it is water.

5. The only finisher I like that we've seen is Sub-Zero's. Scorpion's is okay but it looks like what happened to Freey Krueger at the end of A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 so I've technically seen this already but it does look nice.

We still have a lot more things we haven't seen but I always liked Mortal Kombat no matter how good or bad the game was because the story was always interesting. Characters have relationships with other characters and overall the MK story is the main reason I keep getting the game. The story so far has not really gotten too stale. Sure there have been bad games in this mix like MKV, Deception, Armageddon and Special Forces (the ones I didn't really like) but the story stays fresh all the time.

As far as silhouettes go,here's my guesses either the one on other far left and bottom,or the one right under D'Vorah is possibly Skarlet,which I don't care since I didn't get the kharacter DLC.

But strangely enough the one directly to the right of the bottom,farthest left one(the possible skarlet) makes me think Johnny Cage....and I've already said I don't care for him,so it's not like it's just me being a fan....it just looks like the outline of his hair(From MK9.... or MK2011)and I can imagine his face on that silhouette.... especially his glasses....hmm....cassie maybe has a brother?

And I really hope the hat person is a descendant of Kung Lao,mostly because his hat moves were cool (couldn't actually play him well in MK9/2011).

Thinly thing that bugs me the most about the silhouettes is there's so many bald dudes (or Ladies I guess) that I'm fucking sure Quan Chi will be in the cast.....and fuck Quan chi! (Opinions people) his damn posses move was super unclear on the range and broken as shit. Noon was broken as well,but unlikely to return,smoke was kinda broken with his teleport blast attack,but was a kinda cool character to me instead of Quan And Noob,who were "Bad guys that do bad guy things" essentially.

Wow iI spent to much time and words hating on characters....Sorry to all the Noon Saibot and Smoke fans......and I guess the Quan Chi fans too lol jk.

Anyway,hope we get a few(4-5 at most) descendants in this game,and a bit more (6-7 at most) returning kharacters. Let the fun begin!! wow
Sorry for the last minute announcement!

To be frank the new MK looks pretty cool and if boon makes the gameplay as easy in the latest game in the franchise will be better.I really liked Kotal Kahn much, he looks impressive! Hope we will hear the other characters soon :D such as Sindel,Quan chi,Ermac and Shang Tsung!
@ Everyone.

For everyone that didn't pay enough atention, Ed mentioned that the kharacter select screen is most definately not final.
The boxes of the kharacters are floating and not fully connected he said, lets connect these little openings and BOOM 4 or maybe 6 more slots can be added, this will then extend towards 28/30 characters.

Ps: I dont believe this will look like the final Kharacter select screen, its too bland, and I'm sure Boon is going to make it look real slick like lets say DA/Deception
