Mortal Kombat 8 officially under development?

MK: Armageddon is probably nearing completion within the next 2 months. I'm sure MK8 is just a concept and nothing has really been built yet. I hope since Ed Boon plays Tekken and other fighters he realizes high level play. I hope he understands the demand for it. I really hope MK8 is something really over the top and fresh as ever.

hopefully that means Boon realized churning out a game every year is bad for quality.!Quote>

Considering it's a step up to a new generation, it makes perfect sense to spend more time on it. The WWE games all failed miserably in the last generation jump, because they stuck to a short timeline. Smackdown! 3, Wrestlemania X8 and Raw all were horrific titles.'

MK8 is looking to avoid the rush, and good on 'em!

I doubt that they'll be abandoning that "one MK game a year" promise anytime soon so there will probably be another Action/Adventure game released next year but it shouldn't impact on MK8's development because the fighting games and MKSM were developed by two seperate teams.

Those characters WERE NEW! they just didn't have enough time to give them their on moves lists. In this new game though I'm sure they'll be completely different

If they were afraid of timing, they should've just not had them in there at all. No point making clones in a game that was parodied with all the ninja clones already.

I think it's a bit too soon for them to be thinking about Mortal Kombat 8. I would rather they focus on MK: Armageddon. I'm sure Boon meant that they are coming up with some ideas here and there for the future of MK and MK8 and stuff, but still, MKA should be their focus right now. I think 2008 is actually too soon. I would rather see them spend about 3 years and release the game in 2009, but that probably won't happen due to the way things seem to be.

I truly hope that for the future MK games, the gameplay will have a decent start at the very least.

Well, MK games of late have been known for coming out LATER in the year in October so I'm honestly not worried.With that being said, say they work on it more from this October with MK:A's release then that would be exactly 2 years of work.That's good enough.

There will be better gameplay, improved graphics etc etc.And that newer HINT at the 6 player or more lobby is great news.I play this game online so I know from deception's experience.MK:A will be better, and MK 8 will be even more so I'm betting.Sweet.

I highlighted that only to get blinded by caps.

Seriously though, don't type in all caps.

To 555sludge555- don't advertise. Add the link in your sig.

For 2007, I think a game following the life of Scorpion (from childhood to present, Fable-style) would be great.
