Mortal Kombat Armageddon, for all five MK fans
 

I am a big fan of the MK series (except for a small few you all know what I mean) and I am so siked over the new titles coming out soon.
Mortal Kombat: armageddon is said to come out for the PS2 and X-box. It is supposed to be the last chapter for the old MK tournament, so they can start fresh and new for the next generation consoles. Any way all characters are having a comback as playable characters except for Khameleon and Motaro.More info is on IGN or gamespot or what have you.

Also they are coming out with an MK title on the PSP it's supposed to have all the characters from MKDA and MKD. I know for most fans this is old news, but for those who don't know...well now ya do. I'm going to tell you right now I can't wait to get MKA myself. What are you guys's thoughts on this upcoming game.

MK stands for Mario Kart, not Mortal Kombat.

Is this even serious.

Who has even played a Mortal Kombat game since Mortal Kombat 3.

I have, and this still saddens me. I won't get to play as

Johnny Cage anymore after this game. :(

Way to get my hopes up for a new Mario Kart.

I've got to challenge this.

The MK acronym was used for years to stand for Mortal Kombat; I'd never heard it used for Mario Kart until internet.

I'm not really a fan of either series but come on dudicus.

This is the internet, is it not? Also, Mortal Kombat hasn't been relevent in almost ten years. Mario Kart is more well known and I would think more relevant to this Multiplayer Area board.

Man that's bullshit, how can they cut out Motaro.

I hope they give Smoke a more independent role instead of being Noob-Smoke

Moved to General Pepper's Gas Chamber. And renamed slightly. Unless this comes with a bonus DVD filled with Cooking with Scorpion episodes, it'll fail. Like Tasmania!

I read an article somewhere (1up I think) that mentioned a character creator for this game. So does this mean I can have a ninja of every color in the rainbow?

Perhaps, but wouldn't it be better to combine all the colors into one character? Unlike the Chameleon or Khameleon or whatever, the colors wouldn't flash around but you would have a ninja with a green mask, pink pants, orange top and light blue gloves, who would also leave smoke trails, have a skull for a head and could spit acid while summoning lightnings.

Oh and he would have an air throw, a teleport move, and a generic fireball attack. You can't have a Mortal Kombat Ninja without those.

I'm looking forward to Armageddon actually.

I love MKDA and Deception (though they could have been better), and the promise of seeing every single character I've grown to know and love in one game just...shocks me.

Plus they said they are brining MK: Chess and MK: Puzzle fighter to Armageddon, along with a couple other "distraction games". MK: Centipede, anyone?

Hey, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks was a good game. Completely unrelated to the actual fighting games, but it was fun in and of itself.

MK stands for both duh!!!
Mortal Kombat
Mario Kart

Anyway thats not the descusion it is supposed to be about What FANS anticipate toward the new titles. Thanks to those who kept the coments on subject. They understand what it is to be a die hard fan right?

Yes there will be a character creation, now if you can make a full spectrum ninja I wouldn't know we'll just have to see. It will be like the wrestling games. You make your character and then make their fighting style by picking the attacks you want them to do. You can also pic what weapon you want them to use and so on. So not only do they have 60+ characters you now can make your own kombatant and even play it all online.

Also there is a complete new combo system that of shaolin munks, now everyone can do cool air combos. The Fatality system is also being redone and now you don't just push some buttons and say "look at them go". Now you get to controle what they do during a fatality. So if you want them to tear an arm of and smack you with it, you controle it. Thing is the more you do in the fatality the harder it gets to pull it off.

I'm a HUGE MK fan since MKII. I can't wait for Armegeddon to come out. It's going to be the ultimate MK experience. All the characters are playable, even Motaro, and they actually used the Shaolin Monks engine for the Konquest mode, so it's gonna be better than in Deception. The create a character seems interesting and the FMV intro look amazing. Can't wait to play as Rain, Reiko, Sheeva and Stryker again!

Are you sure about Motaro? I have read articles in game informer and IGN and they both say although he makes an appearance he isn't playable. I agree I can't wait to try out the old characters. I want to see how Rain, stryker, Fugin, Sheeva, and sector play. That pic their is shady. What I mean is the characters in the finished project may look completely different then what they do their. I mean according to the MKD story Liu Kang isn't a zombie anymore he is alive and kicking.

If you've played Deception, Kang is unlockable and the following happens


And they probably aren't going to put Motaro in because well, he was an overpowering bitch in MK3.

Well, I remember watching an interview on Gamespot or IGN where Ed Boon said that Motaro was included in the rooster. They also said that they were balancing all the boss characters.

Hasnt every boss in MK history though? I love MK but the bosses have always given me a run for my money (cough cough the end guy in Deadly Alliance...Onga wasn't too tough IMO). I can already feel frustration coming on if you have to fight Motaro, Shao Kahn, Onaga and the Deadly Alliance guy as bosses =(

They better put the weapons in Armageddon and also the ability to impale with the swords and daggers.

Weapons are making a come back but impaling I don't know...That would be great though LOL good times.

Double Post:
yes that's what I was saying

I heard that this time, some characters will have 2 weapons or no weapons but 2 style of combat. Since there's more characters, not all of them can have 2 style and one weapon. I don't really see Goro yielding a sword.

Wait, where can I see the opening intro.

That's a matter of opinion dude. Mortal Kombat hasn't been irrelevant for ten years, there's been a pretty consistent line of decent games.

I think the problem is you've chosen to ignore them and instead sit on the cocks of Mario Kart rehash games.
