Mortal Kombat 9

Why the hell are we hearing about DLC when the game hasn't even come out yet? Couldn't they add it to the game in the first place? Think I might rage at this.

As I said a few pages back...

I know, right?

They pretty much ruined the whole concept of DLC, as it now basically allows a development team to make a half-assed game upon release, and rack in more dough off of what should have been in the game to begin with.

Ungh, and it sucks to know that this sort of marketing technique will actually work and make them a bunch of dough.

At least we're getting 26 characters. That's still 1 more than UMK3's complete character list (minus bosses). Not bad for a reboot.

Not bad @all. They've put nothing but greats(and......Nightwolf) in this game so far & I think all the necessary people will be there fresh out of the box.

I don't know why but the idea of Mortal Kombat vs. Killer Instinct has been stuck in my head recently. Of course, I have thought about it before but I'm seriously thinking about it now. I guess I just miss the KI games and hope RARE bring them back (re-releasing the old games and make some new ones) because it's really a shame that a cool series like that never made it past the 90s.

For those that don't have the EGM article about this game:

Lookin' good. I can't wait.

Rain is deconfirmed and there's no Noob Saibot since the original Sub-Zero is the one playable.

"The idea for the hidden character Reptile came while Ed Boon was driving to a KFC for lunch. That same afternoon Reptile was in the game."

I lol'd. Everything else (on page 6) I knew though pretty much.

And why is Cage's MKA ending mentioned on page 7? It looks like they're implying that he's the one who defeated Blaze and attained godlike power in Armageddon.

Well there is that thing with the story the current Rayden sending a message back to the past one changing the story again.

Maybe the original Subzero will have some of his special moves that were exclusive to MK Mythologies? Nah, that would be a little too uber.

They did say that the game would focus on fan service, giving sub zero some of those moves would be perfect tbh 🙂 Once a year I play all my MK games from 1st to last, MK mythologies is one of the highlights in my opinion, I really love that game.

maybe thats the canon ending?

Would be cool. Cage deserves some glory after all the dumb shit they've put him thru

He deserves to die in a pit.

Yeah, I guess it could work now that ya put it that way, but Subzero's Polar Blast would be kinda broken since it literally freezes everything on-screen and is unblockable. However, that freeze-on-contact move that he uses while running would work perfectly, assuming there's a run option/feature in this game like there was in MK3.

On a side note, I legit lol'd when looking back at this fatality of his, yet felt awkward watching it at the same time.

"You just got Cage'd". 😂

Why does everyone hate cage?
