I think it made the game feel like it was worthy of $60 or whatever it was when it came out. Konquest was janky but it had enough depth that even if you were a single player, it had a lot to offer. And if you were a beginner, konquest was a great way to learn the fighting systems in deception.vatstep said:

They are working on the versus aspect, of course. Definitely the main draw to the game. However, there will be a story mode. Whether it will be like Konquest mode is yet to be determined. I probably wouldn't mind it, but I doubt it'll be quite like that. From what I have gathered, all that's known so far is that the story will be longer than the MK and DCU storylines combined in the previous game.JdFoX187 said:

A human form Reptile with red blood would make this game PERFECT! (Yeah, still going on about that). But as is, the game is just perfect.

Is MK vs DC really bad? I'm kind of interested by it and could probably pick it up on the cheap big time.

LOL. That doesn't even make sense. A bunch of those characters likely won't be in this game. Plus those were the worst and cheesiest endings of the whole series. Really bad.
SapientWolf said:
Lame new characters, with the exception of Quan Chi. A bunch of them felt or looked like replacements(because they were!).
Only 15 characters(plus Noob and Goro at home) coming off UMK3 and Trilogy.
Everyone has the same normals. Before everyone had a roundhouse but not the same roundhouse. The hitboxes were totally different. Tons of animation sharing in MK4. People always say everyone is the same in MK except the special moves and it's not really true, except in MK4 it is.
MK vs. DC Universe is the best since UMK3. It's a prototype for this game.
That's cool. I thought they did a pretty good job with the storyline in MK vs. DC, especially for a fighter game.TheHakku said:
Yeah, I know it's a TV show. There were only two movies since the third one never got off the ground due to Katrina and god knows what else. But I always have a soft spot in my heart for the TV series. Used to love watching it at the end of Monday Nitro each week.TheFallen said:

I'd pick up Deception or Shaolin Monks instead. MK vs DC isn't bad but its pretty gimmicky and adds nothing to the MK lore and feels sparse.I should be doing hw said:

I'll agree that Quan Chi was probably the best thing to come out of MK4. So good that Jaffe copied him for his own game :lol
vatstep said:
Why I played through Deception's Konquest mode I'll never know. Terrible gameplay, voice work, visuals, animation, dialogue, etc. Yet I still found something about it addicting... Maybe I just like collecting stuff, maybe it was the MK world, I don't know. :lol
Anyanka said:
I still think Quan Chi and to a lesser extent Reiko were solid new characters. Although I really don't like the design changes they made to them in MKDA/MKA. The rest of the new cast in MK4 were pretty forgettable to downright terrible.
I wouldn't mind seeing Quan Chi and Reiko (MK4 based designs) in this new game as DLC, since I doubt they'd be considered for any of the main roster spots. I'd certainly put somebody like Quan Chi in over Sheeva or Jeff's favorite character.
Hey guys, I decided to add the hated/loved "Techno Syndrome" song into the MK trailer not long ago, then my cousin decided it was a good material to upload in the fighting game site we are running.
Here is the link so you guys can see the video, don't know if we can link the video because we uploaded it to our servers:

Badass. This game needs it, then it would be truly complete.

Oh snap, people still remember my DMC3 music video? Wow, that is quite nice to see. Thanks, I haven't done any music videos or edits lately, this one was for fun and was fast, nothing as complex as DMC3 music video.
Glad you guys are enjoying it, hopefully I might do more in the future if I see it as a good idea. Thanks again for the feedback.
Don't blame the team..
If the publisher doesn't want to pay the licences and stuff, there's not much they can do.....same way John Tobias has no say or relation with the franchise..neither does Ed Boon..he just makes teh game; he doesn't own them....not yet..at least.
A new version of the song was planned for the new movie..but that fell on limbo with Threshold's plan..of a third movie. They know there's a lot of interest in the song and a lot of nostalgia involved with it..so; who knows...
By the way, nice video -DarKaoZ-.
Anyway; Conquest was a TV series; not a movie. The series only lasted 1 season; because thet studio wanted to focus on the third MK movie..which never materialized. It was released on DVD everyplace..but on the US.
EDIT:
I really liked this video...making fun on the way the "tournament" is organized. :lol

This may have been pointed out but
that's 26
If you look here you can see that 36 were in the first trilogy
http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/games/mkt/
So maybe 10 dlc characters? Boon saying some characters may end up cyber ninja makes me think we'll see Scorpion and Sub-Zero robots to go along with the normal versions.

2 of the characters in Trilogy are the same character (Cyborg Smoke/Human Smoke, Masked Sub-Zero/Noob Saibot) 4 are bosses, and 4 of those characters weren't really separate characters, just alternate versions.robut said:This may have been pointed out but

So that leaves 26 normal characters. There were 25 unique characters from MK1 to UMK3 and Rain was added in MKT. You can expect the roster to consist mainly of those 26 characters.

Not to be nitpicky, but why can't the masks and costumes for Scorpion and Sub Zero be simply cloth? I hate all these cybernetic fleshy things. It's bad design.

I just picked up the EGM "komeback" issue with MK on the cover. Inside it confirms that Sub-Zero is the original one (who is killed by Scorpion and returns as Noob Saibot). Also in the Reptile/Sektor pic which may or may not be in the church, Rain is definitely in the background in his MK Deception costume and someone who kinda looks like Shinnok but not quite is also in the background.

Does that mean Rain isn't in? I won some money as a kid by abusing an infinite (in trilogy) with him during a charity tournament at school. For that reason alone he's the character I'm most fond of.

I remember playing Mortal Kombat 1 for hours in the arcade! Then obsessing over MK2 in game magazines! When part two came out my brother and I would play for hours and hours! I'm looking forward to this. Still, I wish they would use real actors. I would love to see that kind of effect with this generations powerful hardware.
