Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

[Blue-Hawk]

Just found out about this one. Last one with the original fighters. 60+ playable fighters! Air combos. Custom Fatalities......
http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/mortalkombatarmageddon/media.html Watch the videos.... I might just get a PS2 for this.

Here's the list of PLAYABLE characters. Motaro IS playable, but not shown.

SUB-0 FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

[GrumblyStuff]

There'll only be one Mortal Kombat in my heart.

I <3 MK2

[rena-ko]

as long as they balance that thousand chars off...

[Neith]

Oh, wow, can't wait- I'm a MK fanboy at heart http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

For those who can't watch the interview, it's meant to contain EVERY MK character from MK1 right through to Deception, and characters like Goro, Dragon King and Shao Kahn will all be playable.

I'm glad they brought Sektor and Cyrax back http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Definately looking forward to this though.

This looks cool, I've always loved MK. I havent played any other the new ones since MK4, but I may just have to play this one.

Long, long time no see, Blue

I agree on that. As well, I'd have preferred the 2D arena combat and not the 3D that they are going to use. There's something very cheap about trying to use anyone who throws a projectile and all it takes is a mere side-step to elude it. Thats why I never really got into the new MK's, because it did'nt feel like MK.

Ah well, definitely going to give it a look, but even a monster roster and customized characters won't save a game from sucking ass. Hopefully they know some Do's and Don'ts from their last few releases.

[OdinTyler]

I was told Motaro wont be playable. Glad to know thats not true. I can tell my source that now. I understand that the game is playable online. I dont see why not. With however many chars have been in the series over the years, its gonna be hard to run into your clone easily. I wonder if more online capabilities will be added like the ability to customize your char: moves, costumes, etc. Perhaps with the use of MK coins to purchase items?

I hope they do put in a little more effort to make this game stand out from the last two installments. Though I did enjoy both Deadly Alliance and Deception there wasn't too much done to the engine at all to really make Deception feel like its own game. If they can manage to balance all those fighters I'll be quite surprised. But eh, I don't guess I'll be too let down either. Not like MK is something you sit down and play for 4 hours or try to learn "the science of." Quick and dirty arcadey goodness. MKII forever.

If it's anything like the last two or almost every game with unlockable content these days, then you'll probably only start with 10-20% of the game unlocked from the beginning. I like unlockables as much as the next person, but I think developers have begun leaning on locked content a bit too much to extend replay value. But that's just me.

Surprised that this topic (like every other forum I've been to) hasn't already erupted into "OMG MK ISNT A REEL FIGHTING GAEM CUZ IT DUN HAV TEH LEET COMBOS AND TEH SMART GAEMPALY!"

[cyberwolf10]

OMG MK ISN'T A REAL FIGHTING GAME BECA-*FATALITY*

Annnnnnyway.

Finally, ALL OF THE COLOR SWAPPED NINJAS IN ONE PLACE! Seriously, though, I'm looking forward to it. At least I'd like to create my own character.

[Stormsworder]

I see a couple of familiars. >> But where is the android, Smoke? >> I actually liked him in Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the N64. And Noob Saibot! << That guy was just plain freaky...

Personally, I don't like the new Reptile. I miss the old one from the N64 and SNES days.

[hollowtip]

Okay Kabal is in. I might have to give this one a gander.

[OdinTyler]

Yeah, the game shouldnt rely on unlockables. Its just good to have them as an option. Usually when unlocking chars, theres an ok amount present. Here we're getting like what, 50 or more chars? Who are they gonna unlock this time around? Whats this I hear about customizable fatalities?

Oh btw, to the person that asked, Smoke's in the game. Look towards the mid of the crowd, then go right. Hes in human form, his old grey costume.

Smoke is at the right- he's not in human form though, this is his revamped cyber-ninja appearance, first shown in MKD as a secondary costume. He was shown in MKD art in that costume too for some reason- his primary one resembles the cyber-ninja from MK Trilogy/UMK3.

Ok, made a decent stab at the picture, and can work out the majority of those characters. I've played MK,MK2,MK3,UMK3,MKT,MK4,MKDA,and MKD, so I have an idea http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Hopefully this is of some use to people who can't see the pic/can't identify who's who etc.

*from left to right, from the back*
Back: Blaze
1st Row: Dragon King (Onaga), Kintaro, Shao Kahn, Goro, Sheeva, Moloch (I think that's his name)
2nd Row: Bo Rai Cho, Hotaru, Drahmin, Mokap, Mileena, Jade, Sektor, Hsuhao, Nitara
3rd Row: Nightwolf, Ermac, Mavado, Kobra, Kira, Fujin?, Frost, Havik, Jax
4th Row: Kenshi, Li Mei, Dairou, Sareena, Tanya, Darrius, Noob Saibot, Smoke (probably playable as Noob-Smoke, like MKD)
5th Row: Ashrah, Sindel, Kitana?, Johnny Cage, Liu Kang (dead), Reptile, Baraka, Raiden
6th Row: Kabal, Kano, Cyrax, Sonya, Jarek?, Stryker, Rain? (looks awesome if it is)
7th Row: Shujinko, Kai, Kung Lao, Quan Chi, Reiko?
8th Row: Shang Tsung, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Shinnok

As said, no mention of Motaro on the pic, but he is apparently playable.

It seems all of the original characters are back, but there's still a few loose ends. I could even say there's a character missing, but since Chameleon wasn't playable without cheating, it's not really a valid point http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Can't wait for this [/MK fanboyism]



Oh, and as for who I'll be playing? Scorpion, Reptile, Cyrax. <3

Actually, I must disagree...slightly. That grey ninja you see, second from the right is Smoke, in human form. The one to his left (at the far right) looks like it could be a Noob/Smoke combo. It could be a half-cyborg
/half-misty Smoke. However, Ive only known 1 ninja to wear that grey outfit & thats Smoke. They may have just allowed players to play both types.

[Skorpius]

Let's just set this one the table:

EVERY CHARACTER FROM THE MORTAL KOMBAT UNIVERSE IS IN THE GAME.

Additionally, you will be able to create your OWN character, with his/her own moveset. That is BITCHIN'

Not only that, but the fighting has gone back to what MK4 was. It was 2.5D, left/right/up action with side stepping. <3

Yeah, I'm getting this for Xbox later this year.

[Neith]

Odin, the two ninjas at the right are Noob Saibot and Cyber-Ninja Smoke- this is how they looked in MK:Deception. I've had a look, and I can't see Human Smoke anywhere.

Oh, and Skorp, technically, not every character is in it. Chameleon isn't there ;_; http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif (or Khameleon >_> ) But since he/she were characters you could only play via codes, it doesn't really count.

[BogusKun]

ermac was thew pimp in the last game.

GO OSAMA!

Well, we can always create her http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

But yeah, I am definately going to get this!
