[Multiplatform] 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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

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

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

yes that's what I was saying

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

well from what I heard, Armageddon is not having the minigames but the Mortal kombat deception unchained for the psp (also coming soon) will. I don't know for shure, right now those are just rumors. I agree with you to the point where I belive thats almost a givin. Ofcourse they would have to have their own special finishers. Although you get to control them.

I was speaking idiomatically.

because kabal was awesome and will be even more in the next game I can't wait.

we'll the reason it iss't coming out for the ps3 or xbox 360 is because this will be the very last MK game for the older consoles. Also in the theme of "next generation" hey want to end the old tounament and all thet went with it so they can start clean on a clean slate.

Actualy thats not true there were two guys who played the ninjas one for subzero and one for scorpion and then between those guys the palette thingy happend. But yeah for those who are hard core fans like yours truly, It is about time we had another MK trilogy.

FELIPE NO

http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2464 for those who are still not clear on how a game like this could be, the team brakes it down for ya.

Multiple fatalities, air kombat/juggles/throws, EVERY character in the MK storyline (Motaro is pending at the moment), and classic arenas from all through Mortal Kombat's legacy. Plus, it will have online play which will make it so much more fun. October 2006, everyone.

And make that six MK fans, I've been obsessed beyond belief since 93'. I'm even going so far to say that I'm the biggest MK fan this board has seen...

hehe I would like to challenge that clame there tornado I am a huge fan and know almost everything about the mk legacy.

YES!!!! I thought I was the only one who thought that very same thing Khamelion may not have been a big character but she actualy had her part in the mk story so I think she should count as an actual mk character.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

and you can bring your character online so everyone can see each others moves and names...that will be fun I can all ready emagin some potential name ideas lol.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

OK maybe it's me but didn't someone post that already?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

well it's announced that chameleon(male) meat and motarow will be in the line up so good luck trying to live in this new mk game. Remember what motarow was like in mk trilogy? or better yet 3?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'd be lying if I said I was overly pleased with this 2 legged Motaro.

That is from wikipedia which means that could have came from anybody. I highly doubt they would go so far as to do a great job with everyone and then just give up and half ass do motarow. For the true fans out their I highly doubt the mk team would actualy do that. If i am right in what I believe and if they give motarow all the moves he had in mk3 and mkt then we are looking at the hardest monster in Mortal Kombat.

Now one thing that was confermed was the newminie game motor kombat.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh well I will give them that one. He will probably be faster and harder to beat (if he has all the moves he did back in the older games.) Either way with a game this awesome I think it's ok to take some creative liberties, I mean atleast they have motaro cause he almost didn't make it. Half is better then none i guess hehe. On that note I preordered the special edition thin that MKA has come out with. It cost the same but this one only goes to preorders. It comes with a hard metal case, a fully playable arcade version of MK3U, and extra vids and stuff. Perfact collecters item for a true fan like myself.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't know so far with the videos out there the gameplay looks pretty fluid. Deception did ok and shaolin monks did fine there just putting those two games together with some more stuff packed into. No biggie.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I doubt they had too many memory limitation problems because the ninjas actually had different stances in the games. Especially in MK2, where all 3 ninjas moved differently.

Actualy if you play mk deception the guy who played both subzeros was different from the guy who played scorpion from mk3+

FELIPE NO

Of course its possible that they DID use a palette swap, even with the different stances and character specific poses you can do 8 characters from the space of two.

and 8 from 2 is exactly what they did. It wasn't one guy who did all the ninjas it was 2 guys. When i mentioned deception I ment the videos that talked about the history of the characters. Just so we don't get confused.


scratch that your right sal devita played scorpion in mythologies subzero and some other unoficial stuff and motion capture. So yeah thats what confused me.

This also confuses me. Liu kangs story in mka http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq36GDgl9JU apposed to his story on mkd

Quote:

"The fight raged with neither kombatant able to best the other, when a jolt of energy crackled through them both. Liu Kang's nerves blazed like fire, and he felt a rush of air fill his lungs for the first time since his death. He was Liu Kang once more: Protector of Earthrealm, Champion of Mortal Kombat."

I don't get how he could be a zombie still fighting his soul if in mkd it all ended with him completely coming back to life thanks to raiden.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

For example, if you beat MK 2 with Baraka, you learn that he becomes king of Outworld, but we all know that has never truly happened.

That part makes sense. Alot of endings only tell what happens if they won, some still ends up part of the story. Luikang not only has this as his ending but as an unlockable costume and that confused me. I am one easily confused individual I know.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

nope i wish but it's the male chameleon and he is a clear character with a color changing costume. Although the way character creation looks you might beable to create your own khameleon.

Sareena, from MK Mythologies, also appears in Armageddon.

the reason why she is in is because she showed up in MKDA:TE for GBA.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

yeah thats been the huge talk. All the clean slate brand newness thats going to come with the next gens.

Of course the MK team is not exactly known for not fucking up things.

I agree with this one. It is bad enough that they screwed up motarow i doubt they would make the fatalitlies stay the way we all saw them. Although they promise many different moves you can do during a fatality. Either way you do the fatality the way you want so there are many different combos to it. It would be better for each character to have there own little signature moves for the fatalities you do. I am getting scared to but i am keeping faith as a mortal kombat fan and i will see what happens.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

i feel as low as possible to even call myself a fan...i havent gotten it yet...man im broke!

Most amazing jew boots

you guys here about rockstar getting permission for sonia and one more mk character to cameo in the next GTA? Also im a post my created character soon. It is my version of the female khameleon who should have shown up if meat did. Hell she should have shown up over meat since she was actualy a character and meat was...something else.

You would of thought that Ed Boon would of realized that everybody just plays as Sub-Zero and nothing else. I think it's characters like Sheeva, Kabal and Kano that really dampen the MK experience.

That and the fact that the artificial intelligence basically knew your every move.

I never used "MK" for Mario Kart, either. If anything, Mortal Kombat is more known for it with the use of it in 2. Whenever I see MKDS, instantly Mortal Kombat comes to mind.

i was just readin through the thread (dont really know why.) and i found someone dissing Kabal. I will have to say that you are obviously not an mk fan with that ignorant subzero claim and kabal diss. Kabal kicks ass, i mean you could have taken a shot at nightwolf or the most unpopular character stryker, but you know you just have to hit kabal. he's cool man leave him be.

harakiri isnt a fatality if you wanna get technical. A fatality is when you kill someone else and a harakiri is when you kill yourself before they kill you. Syndels was friggin LMAO HAHAAAA
hopefully oneday they bring them back. I think it would also be cool to bring back animality!
I think what slash was refering to was the mk3 fatality. He didn't ripp his face of exactly. he took his mask off and scared you with his face under the mask to where your very soul ran away from your body lol good times.

FELIPE NO

If I have to fight Jarek in the Bell Tower, followed by Rain in Kahn's Arena, followed by Reiko on the Falling Cliffs, followed by Kintaro in the Tekunin Prison one more time - I'm gonna go nuts. With so many characters and arenas to choose from, why are they restricting us to this same damn lineup nearly every time we play the game?

i dont know what mortal kombat your playing but mine goes random. Also i was playing online and saw a black mj kreated character lol.

Basically these cons are turning me off still.

look at it this way it's all experimentation. I dont blame them for trying something different. If it doesnt work out then hey i am sure they will go back. I didnt like the mulitple fighting styles so i liked the fact that they tried to make this one feel as old school as possable while still making it brand new. I love armageddn, hell it's 10 times better then deadly aliance.
