Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

[zeptron]

http://www.mkoutworld.net/?id=games/mka

The article discusses the story line of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon and how they are going to wipe the slate clean on the current generation of game consoles and move onto next generation systems after this game. We wont give away the story line just yet, because you should go out and buy the issue for those details, but you can say a winner will finally be decided once and for all.

Here is a quick run down of the features mentioned in the article:

* At least 60 playable characters, "all the characters from Mortal Kombat fighting history". But they do mention that Motaro may not make the cut.
* Character select screen is so large that it has to rotate to reveal them all.
* Create a Kombatant system for customizable characters.
* The Fatalitiy system will be "reinvented," but no elaboration on that yet.
* Air Combo system implemented that allows string combos in mid-air.
* Throws can now be executed so that you toss the opponent where you want to. This helps with stage deathtraps, making them much more of a threat than before.
* Konquest mode is now based off of the Shaolin Monks engine. This will allow the game to much more dynamic and expansive.
* Game to be released for PlayStation 2 and Xbox in October 2006.

DEAR LORD!!!

THAT IS AMAZING!!

OVER 60 CHARACTERS?!!

Oh man oh man oh man...this news just made my craptacular day

DEAR LORD!!!

Pitty only one of them is any good :o

[Avalanche]

That's an awful lot of characters.

Now if only the actual fighting didn't feel so wooden. They need to look at Virtua Fighter, Tekekn and Dead or Alive and take their cue from the fluidity of motion those games have. Mortal Kombat has always been so rigid.

[Drakon]

Oh, man. Am I gonna have to break the MK Drakatars out?

[Nathan]

As long as they don't manage to make the fighting engine fluid and get rid of the dial-a-combo system I won't be impressed by the number.

[Mentok]

Meh, looks pretty average. Is that ZOMBIE Liu Kang in the group shot?

[Nathan]

Yup.

[GekigangerV]

I'm not as big of a MK fan as I used to be, but I have to say since Deadly Alliance the character designs have greatly improved. For example, that new Rain is pretty damn cool.

I hope they are totally reworking the combo system. It was pretty broken in Deadly Alliance and the only thing they did to try and fix it were those combo breakers, which I thought was kind of lazy. I also hope they bug test that Konquest mode if they are using the Shaolin Monks engine. I was pleased with Shaolin Monks on X-box, but it is the most glitch filled game I have EVER played. I came across a glitch or bug that would force me to restart the game almost every hour into the game.

[Sparta*]

Oh, man. Am I gonna have to break the MK Drakatars out?

Please do lol :up:

[Chad Sexington]

Now if only the actual fighting didn't feel so wooden. They need to look at Virtua Fighter, Tekekn and Dead or Alive and take their cue from the fluidity of motion those games have. Mortal Kombat has always been so rigid.Are you kidding? Deception's combat was miles ahead of Tekken or Dead or Alive. The three style mechanic was very nice in DA, but they got things just right in Deception.

VF4 and Soul Caliber 3 are the only games surpassing it's fighting system.

[블라스]

JOOOOOOYGAAAAASM!!!!!! :eek: :up:

[블라스]

JOOOOOOYGAAAAASM!!!!!! :eek: :up:

[Sparta*]

JOOOOOOYGAAAAASM!!!!!! :eek: :up:

agreed!

[TheCardPlayer]

Mortal Kombat is a very average fighting game...I'll still play it though.

[WhatsHisFace]

I bet there's at least 5 clones. There's no way you can make complete move lists for 60 characters.

[Sparta*]

Even if there is, i'm cool with it...it's all about the characters for me

[Mr. Credible]

wow... good stuff.

[블라스]

Very good stuff.

[Orko Is King]

Soooo, Reptile isn't the Lizard King or whatever his name is anymore?

[Sparta*]

Soooo, Reptile isn't the Lizard King or whatever his name is anymore?

That was shown in one or two endings, but most of the endings don't carry on to the next games story...they usually choose one characters ending and make it official

[Matt]

Some thoughts:

1) 60 characters really aren't necessary. I mean really, who gives a damn about all that stupid chaos/order realm **** from Deception? Who cares Mavado? Who cares about Stryker? There are a lot of characters they could leave out. I would much rather have one uber good Mortal Kombat game with a lot of characters (30-40 would suffice)...that they focus on giving really good stories too as opposed to just throwing in as many as possible for the hell of it.

2) Story wise, who is the villian? I assume it's going to be the 'higher power' that was talked about in Liu Kang's Deception ending. The one who was controling Zombie-Kang. The one who is more powerful than the Dragon King. (I still hope it's Shinnok, for someone who was a god, Shinnok was very underwhelming. I am hoping everything with Quan Chi betraying him and Onaga's ressurection was all part of his higher plan).

3) Curious that Blaze is so prominent in the picture, could he be the 'higher power'?

4) Why use Zombie-Kang in the picture? Does this mean Liu Kang is going to remain a zombie? I hope not, I want normal Liu Kang back for the 'final battle'.

[Benstamania]

Sweeeeeet! Pretty cool that Rain's back. To bad that we can't see if Scorpion looks any different. Major, MAJOR plus the Sub-Zero has his Ninja suit back. It's also pretty funny that Reeko is dressed like Kahn.

[Capt Throbberson]

I hope they have classic costumes

And is it me or does Striker look like Thomas Haden Church?

[BeserkerHilf]

when did MK start having plots?

[Jager X]

air combos?

mk:deception had air combos,i think;or at least that what i called them.i assumed that all those super combos i did that dealt over 100% damage would be considered air combos since thats where most of the s. combos take place.

[Nathan]

Are you kidding? Deception's combat was miles ahead of Tekken or Dead or Alive. The three style mechanic was very nice in DA, but they got things just right in Deception.

VF4 and Soul Caliber 3 are the only games surpassing it's fighting system.

I don't think he's kidding.

MK: DA and MK: D are two of the most wooden and slowest beat'em ups I've ever played. What happened to the lighting fast moves we were used to from MK 1-4? And the idea of giving each character 3 fightings styles is executed very poorly.

Instead of having 1 fleshed out style with like an unlimited amount of moves we have 3 medicore styles, each with about 10 combos, give or take. You can't even come up with your own combo string. That whole dial-a-combo system prevents you to do any creatives combos you've in mind.

[Drakon]

Scans were removed due to copyright issues.

[TRUE]

I hope the fighting system will be more looser than the stiffness they have now. Other than that game will be raw.

[Benstamania]

MK has a pretty deep story.....

[The Riddler]

i'm going to pick up this game for sure.

glad that sub-zero is back in his old costume. hopefully he'll win for once.

[Mentok]

Scans were removed due to copyright issues.

Seriously, thats the best Avvy/custom title you have had so far :up:

[The Riddler]

damnit, i missed the pics.

i wanna see larger scans. :(

[lars573]

Then your both drunk. MK: DA was stiff but it was the first 3D MK game that didn't stink. No the most wooden fighting game is Tekken, followed by virtua fighter (and only because they are like that on purpose). After playing Soul Calibur 2 and MK: Deception Tekken characters move like they have lead in their shoes and broom sticks in their shirts. Also the dial a combos are what give you damage bonues you can cook up your own (and in fact I have and they were better) but they aren't as affective. Thirdly if you add up the moves across the 3 styles in MK you have more moves than in Tekken of SC and in some cases 180 shifts in combat style in the same character.

The biggest problem this game has is that unless they add a ton of new styles and weapons 1/3 of these characters are going to be clones of each other. Like Movado and Kabal, Frost and Sub-Zero, and Kobra/Sonya.

Now, cream and squirt new MK game with 60 characters! Plus I can't wait to see where the story line is going! :up:

when did MK start having plots?
MK has always had story lines ripped out of bad Kung-Fu movies,now they have story lines ripped from good Kung-Fu movies

[jaydawg]

I bet there's at least 5 clones. There's no way you can make complete move lists for 60 characters.
You dont have to bet. Since they said every character in MK history, thats an assload of clones right there. Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Old Sub-zero, Reptile, Reptilian Reptile, Smoke, Noob Sabot are all based off the same character. Thats not even counting Meelina, Katana, Jade, and all those robot clones like Cyrax. Am I the only one who sees this game as a huge mistake?

[Sparta*]

I dunno man...I can't speak for everyone, but i'm hella stoked about this game :up:

I with you.. i think its a big mistake.. i wasn't a fan of the last two game.. two styles and a weapon.. pretty good idea.. but it didn't flow.. the game play felt very sluggish at times

[Mentok]

they need to go back to the less "cluttered" designs of the early games... hell, go back to the vide capture graphics :up: ;p

[Avalanche]

What?

I don't know what funky ass planet you've popped over form, but I'm damned sure if asked to pick which games had the better fighting system, Mortal Kombat would be dragging it's tail around the bottom of the list.

Tekken, particular the newest versions, and Virtua Fighter are a lot more technical. I'm not sure if this it what you're refering to as wooden, but so far as I'm concerned there's nothing wooden about it.

Mortal Kombat cannot even begin to compare with modern day fighters.

[lars573]

No MK is third on my list of fighters. DOA and SC fight for first then MK then Tekken then Virtua fighter. Tekken's problem is that you have to be drunk to play it properly. I bought Tekken 5 to play over new years and while we were all ploughed we played great. How ever sober it was stiff jerky and of a lower quality (combat wise) than MK: Deception. Truth is Hworangs Tae kwon do was less well executed than Nigthwolfs.

I agree with you. I would rather see 20 or 30 really good characters who have been crucial to the MK plot, get the attention they deserve for one last game as opposed to ****ty characters like Stryker, the Chaos/Order realm people, and clones causing the game to take away from the focus on the main characters and closure.

[Benstamania]

Wow, you guys that are talking down about the game and saying that you KNOW this and that, tell me, where did you play the game? I seriously want to get my hands on it to see all of these clones your talking about. We don't know that there will be clones, the game doesn't come out until October with a chance of being pushed back. We've come along way since the palet swap days....so I do not think Clones will be an issue.

MK may not be a VF, but I am extremely thankful for that since VF bores me to tears.

For as much as MK is dissed, it still is one of if not the most popular fighting franchise out there.

In my eyes, MK and SF will always be kings.

[B.M.F.]

Um, not digging this very much.

As for recent good MK games, Deadly Alliance was good, not great, but good.
Deception was... bad, the fighting system sucked, it was like playing MK4 all over again.

Shaolin Monks was a cool trip to the past for the heyday of MK, back in the MK1 and MK2 days.

But the idea of bringing back EVERY MK CHARACTER EVER is um... stupid. It's like a 'Fatality' has never been performed ever in a MK Tornament. Also, anyone who's played MK Deception knows they brought in many old and loved characters from the past (Mileena, Barakka, etc) but they didn't play like they did in the old games.

They looked like the characters I used to love, but didn't play like them.

The idea of every MK character ever in one game, makes it sound like they're trying to re-make the success of 'MK Trilogy.'

If they put two years of production time on this game for the next-gen consoles, instead of one for the past three games, then I think it'll be great. But otherwise, I think they'll just bank on MK's old reputation, rather than quality of games.

Honestly, if they felt confident in the future progession of the MK franchise, their most recent MK game wouldn't have been based back in MK1&2.

[White_Howling]

in asia.. VF has a bigger following than MK

world wide i doubt

[White_Howling]

the interesting thing about clones is.. if their done right people won't mind

like street fighter

akuma, ryu, ken, and sean were all karate figthers but each of them had a did type of fighting style

[Drakon]

But the story is what saves that.

Ryu and Ken train under the same master. Akuma kills that master, who happens to be his brother. Sean is Ken's student.

Wow, really?

I'm finding your comments particular difficult to understand. I can understand if you view MK as the more fun game, but to think it's higher quality combat wise? Blah. Same for Dead or Alive. Tekken and Virtua Fighter have the deeper, more comprehensive systems where the good fighters really do stand out by a long way with their skills.

That said, I appreciate it all comes down to a point of view and a difference of opinion. We like what we like.

[Mentok]

STREET FIGHTER > MORTAL KOMBAT.

http://distructionmafia.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/ryu.gif

[lars573]

No it's more like, ANY OTHER FIGHTING GAME EVER<STREET FIGHTER. It's just bad.

Tekken and VF are for people who want to spend 8 hours learning how 1 character works. This tends to make them boring. Tekken tries to get around that by giving each guy an easy to pull off super de-duper cheap ass move that takes away 1/3 of your health. Like Pauls super punch or Lee's taunt kick thing. VF is just boring. No the combat in MK and especially DOA and SC are just better put together. They have a better ballance of fun to play vs. technical proficency. By fun to play I mean learning the inns and outs of how to stomp ass with a character effectively takes less time (1 hour 2 at most). And the story isn't just a paper thin corn ball excuse for two people to beat on each other.

[PuMpKiN EsCoBaR]

I LOVE MK. Can't wait for this game. :D :D :D :up: :up: :up:

Could you PM me? I'd like to see those scans.

[Leonard Shelby]

This new game looks pretty cool.

[Drakon]

I'm sorry, let me clarify--

The site had to take the scans down, due to infringement. Since the links were dead, I took them out of your post, so we don't have to explain why there's a red X.

No matter, though, as they are back up now. And they look smokin.

Thanks Drakon :up: You rock!

[Leonard Shelby]

The Sub-Zero really looks nice.

Significantly better than he looked in Deception.

Also, who's "Blaze"?

[Spaceballs]

Been quite a while since I played a Mortal Kombat game & I have to say this looks AWESOME

:up:

[Mentok]

Is this next gen?

[White_Howling]

doesn't look like it

[Sparta*]

Is this next gen?

no, its coming out for PS2, and XBOX...it's kind of like an MK trilogy 2, but it will have its own storyline...strange considering how many of those characters are 'dead' but thats cool, i'm not complaining :up:

[Sparta*]

The Sub-Zero really looks nice.

Significantly better than he looked in Deception.

Also, who's "Blaze"?

Blaze was a secret character in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. He is an elemental that was forced to protect the Dragon Egg until it hatched. Once it hatched he was free to 'complete his previous mission' according to his MK: DA ending. Then he didn't show up in MK: D, and now it looks like he will be a prominent character in MK:A...possibly a new boss or something?

[Leonard Shelby]

What interests me is the Shaolin Monks style story mode.

I wish we could control a real fighter from the game and control him in the story mode.

[Spaceballs]

strange considering how many of those characters are 'dead' but thats cool, i'm not complaining :up:

Since when do Characters actually stay dead in Mortal Kombat ?

[Sparta*]

haha who knows man, who knows

[Calendar Man]

I just really hope they put a version of Reptile in his ninja suit in it. The full blown Reptilian creature thing is getting old. Put all the three original ninjas back in their old suits and have them actually join forces in the story. People like me would flip out over that.

[Leonard Shelby]

Sub-Zero should win.

[Dark_Lord]

Check www.kamidogu.com for screenshots, renders and concept art!

[Drakon]

I'd like to see Reptile in his Shaolin Monks look, but with a more human face, or at least one that was better covered.

[Nathan]

Sektor (http://www.kamidogu.com/images/mka_conceptart_002.jpg) is finally back, and they totally raped him with the re-design. He doesn't look a Cybernetic Ninja anymore, he looks like a freaking battletank.

[lars573]

Mobilesuit Sektor=:up:
Hockey pads+spandex+predator helmet (IE the MK3 cyber ninja look)=:down

[Drakon]

I kinda hope that they still tweak Sektor and Cyrax some.

And for Reptile, his MK:SM look would be great, if they gave him his Ninja mask.

[lars573]

I hope they seperate Noob and Smoke. Their combination was the cheapest character ever in a beat'em up. Almost as bad as Hworang and Baek in Tekken tag.


I kinda hope that they still tweak Sektor and Cyrax some.

How do you mean? Cyrax was great in DA.

[Nathan]

Mobilesuit Sektor=:up:
Hockey pads+spandex+predator helmet (IE the MK3 cyber ninja look)=:down

I'm not saying he should have his MK3 look. Cyrax and Smoke didn't look like their MK3 counterparts either.

When I think of Sektor words like fast, agile and deadly come to mind. But now he looks like the love child of Robocob and a Tank.

This (http://www.mortalkombataustralia.com/MK%20Australia%20Artwork/Pat%20Sentman/sektor.jpg) is what he should've looked like.

[Drakon]

How do you mean? Cyrax was great in DA.

Well, move-wise, he's gonna be tweaked a bit regardless. But I was refering to looks.

[Sparta*]

I kinda hope that they still tweak Sektor and Cyrax some.

And for Reptile, his MK:SM look would be great, if they gave him his Ninja mask.

I agree...Reptile needs his old school ninja look or his MK:SM look. The long face and tail are just retarded

[Drakon]

I agree...Reptile needs his old school ninja look or his MK:SM look. The long face and tail are just retarded

I dunno. Something should be tweaked. Give him MK:SM look, but with his old Ninja Mask.

[Zenien]

Frost ftw! :up:

Maybe it's about time that I picked up Deception since I could probably find it used for not too much. What happened to Frost post Deadly Alliance (Mortal Kombat games now days are the ultimate junk food fighting game:o), I know she did the whole betray her master thing at the end of Deadly Alliance and was almost killed by the amulet (And SUb Zero brought her back to his temple)...

I guess I'll pick this new one up when I cna find it used and cheaply:o

How well have the MK games been selling this generation?

[White_Howling]

I liked cyrax... he was robot scorpion for me

No almost, she died. :unishr: And that temple was built by an ancient race of cold controlling people. That Subby thinks he and Frost were decended from. It's relayed in his costume bio's. But deception has a female protoge of Kano. Same powers and styles and his fighting blades.

[WhatsHisFace]

I want that Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks ga,e.

It's freaking great, WHF :(

No-no, her ending ends ominously implying that it killed her, but Sub-Zero's ending is all like:

"Having defeated blah blah blah, Sub Zero returns to his temple with the near fataly injured Frost and is then visited by Raiden Blah blah, something about outworld, blah blah, thanks Sub Zero, stuff".

Sub-Zero's ending makes it clear that she didn't die. Unless you're telling me that she died sometime after the events of Deadly Alliance. :o

[Drakon]

I want that Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks game.

Yes, yes you do. But do yourself a favour--when you unlock Scorpion...don't play as him, unless you're ready for a bit of awkwardness. I've been playing a Sub-Zero and Liu Kang for the most part, and it's great, but Scorpy is a pain in the ass with that damn telekick.

As you all know, Midway is going to include a creat-a-character mode into MK7. And I was curious, is anyone going to bring their favorite fighters from other games to life in MK7? Or any other baddies?

If possible, I think I'll create Oroku Saki aka Shredder. If he would've participated at the Mortal Kombat Tournament, he would've kicked everyones ass. Including Shao Kahn. :o

This isn't Mortal Kombat 7, it's the sequel to Shaolin Monks. They said that the series will move to next generation systems after Armageddon comes out, and the first next-gen MK game will probably be a traditional fighter (and it will supposedly be running on the Unreal 3 engine).

Still, 60 playable characters sounds pretty flippin' sweet to me. I'm excited just to see how they manage to pull it off. But if there's one thing Lego Star Wars taught us, you can never have many playable characters. :p

[Nathan]

.... Have you seen and read the scans? This IS MK7. In MK Armageddon every character from every previous MK Tournament will return and it's going to be an all out war.

In Armageddon Boon will try to tie up all loose ends and wipe the slate clean for a new generation of fighters for the next-gen consoles.

[G-Man]

Do you know if the style of fighting will be like Shoalin monks? I hope it's not because i liked the old style better. Like MKDA.

[lars573]

From what the scans and someone who took the time to read them summerized it's as follows. The Konquest mode is like Shaolin monks (which I've yet to play), Kombat is like from DA and Deception.

[DIRECTOR]

why are they releasing it on XBOX and PS2, i want them to release it on PS2 and XBOX 360

[Calendar Man]

Boon shouldn't kill all the old characters. Just Darrius.

[LivingInClip]

Know what this means?

A lot of pallete swaps and not a lot of indivual character moves.

[Drakon]

why are they releasing it on XBOX and PS2, i want them to release it on PS2 and XBOX 360

Did you not read the first post? Or any of the following posts adressing that already?

MK: A is a final hurrah on ALL THE CURRENT CONSOLES! That means that it will NOT be released on X360, because Ed Boon wants to restart the series!

[Sparta*]

Know what this means?

A lot of pallete swaps and not a lot of indivual character moves.

I know that is inevitable...but I hope they bring in a few new fighting styles and a few new special moves to minimize the repetitiveness.

[D.Rex]

I liked Deception. I thought it was a pretty fluid game (not as much as Dead or Alive but it's a different style anyway) and combos flowed easily into one another even thiugh it's dial a combo the juggling allowed combos to move into one another. Konquest was kind of stupid and redundant (I really didn't care about learning every character's moves) but versus mode was great. The whole two styles and a weapon was done really well and each of the character models were well made I also liked the death traps. Critics loved the game Gameinformer gave it a 9.5.

I agree Matt. I hope Liu Kang is brought back as a human he's my favorite character next to Scorpion and I like him much better as a human than a zombie. The Champion of Mortal Kombat shouldn''t be a zombie and jugding from his Deception ending most likely he'll be brought back as a human.

I also have Shaolin Monks for Xbox GekigangerV but I never had your problem or really any problem. my game worked fine and I never had to restart no matter how long I played maybe you got a bad disc or something. I liked that game too. It wasn't the best adventure game ever but I definetly enjoyed playing it.

I think 60 charcartes is a few too many. I reather have the 25 best each with unique martial arts movesets and fatalities. But this should be a good game.

[baby_webhead]

Any new info on this game? :)

[Sparta*]

Nope, news has been pretty slow

[darkslayer16]

Wtf! Ok making another one is good but damn..give it some time.

[zeptron]

According to a recent interview with Ed Boon, MKA is set to be released on October 2 for PS2 and Xbox. No word yet on a gamecube release.

A Teaser Trailer for the game has surfaced on IGN. It shows some shots of gameplay and the new KAK system:

http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/794/794353/vids_1.html

And in the same interview, Ed Boon officialy confirmed that Motaro WILL be included in the game, so now the game is at a full house. No word yet if Chameleon, Khameleon, or Meat is included.

[Guardian Enzo]

The only good thing to ever come from Mortal Kombat were the Parodies on newgrounds.

:eek: ...NICE!!!:D:up:

[D.Rex]

Some of those parodies are hilarious. My favorite is the Real Mortal Kombat.
This game looks excellent. The create a fighter and the aerial kombat seem like great ideas that will help to improve the game.

[XwolverineX]

Pitty only one of them is any good :o


Scorpion, Sub-zero and Reptile are all cool. :up:

[D.Rex]

Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero are my favorites.

[XwolverineX]

I only dig Ninjas. :cool:

October 2 huh? Cool!

[D.Rex]

I hate when games come out in like September or October. Because you'd like to play them over the summer and you look forward too them, but then you think, damn when i get this game I'll be back in school. Going back to school sucks. Why can't it come out in June, July, or August?

[Savage]

Yeah, I hate that too. It's like you actually WANT the school year to come.

Children.:down

[Savage]

Hey, I'm still in college so I have to suffer as much as the elementry kids.:(

[lars573]

Still. :down

[zeptron]

Yeah it does suck that most of the games I'm looking forward to the most always come out in the fall. The only game I was really looking forward to that came out during the summer was Spider-man 2 and that's because it was around the time the movie came out.

[Sparta*]

I'm really excited for this game. It is going to have at least 60 playable characters and that is awesome. Only downside is that the characters are now only going to have 2 styles to choose from. One weapon one fighting, 2 fighting, or 2 weapon :down

[Savage]

What they really need to work on is the rigidness of the combo system. If you don't do the combos they give you, it just stops in it's tracks. It needs to take note from the Soul Caliber games where you can button mash and it still LOOKS like a legit game combo as opposed to "ump. Nope. Stop right there. You didn't do it right.".

[Sparta*]

Different styles for different games though. A lot of people have complaints about MK DA and MK D in regards of how they play, but I like it and wouldn't change a thing :up: If you like Soul Calibur's style, then play Soul Calibur. With the addition of air combat and parry's to MKA hopefully some people's problems will be fixed :)

[Savage]

Yeah. What I hated though was if I didn't do a combo right, or even tried to make up one I wanted without using their's, I got smacked in the face for it.

[Nathan]

Yeah. What I hated though was if I didn't do a combo right, or even tried to make up one I wanted without using their's, I got smacked in the face for it.

One of the many reasons why I dislike the current-gen MK fighters. The dial-a-combo system was the worst idea they could come up with for a fighting game. Where exactly is the fun in playing a fighter if you aren't even allowed to do your own combos?

If that doesn't change with the next generation then the MK franchise is dead to me. Well, unless they make another Shaolin Monks.

[Sparta*]

Some people like that style though...myself included. Being able to pull of a really long combo is awesome, and it does take skill :up:

[D.Rex]

I heard the game is going to incorpate both styles. The konquest will be like Shaolin Monks and the vs fighting mode will be like deception with new added things like air combos and better breakers and blocks.

[Savage]

All to create a game that wreaks of pure awesomeness. :up:

[baby_webhead]

This game is looking really good! I just hope we gat a whole bunch of unlockables like in DA. That always gives a game more replay factor. :) I also can't wait for the create a fighter!

[Sparta*]

There are going to be tons of unlockables webhead. They are using a "vault" instead of a "crypt" for this MK game. They've incorporated air combat, and parrys into the upcoming game as well so that will rule :up:

The official site is up and it has the trailer posted
http://www.mkarmageddon.com/

and heres a link to a good video showing a ton of MK Armageddon stuff

[GoldGoblin]

-Will this game have a 2 vs 2 vs mode?

-How man four armed characters are there?

-Which Reptile will be in the game,the ninja,or the lizard?

-How many characters have there been in total from all the previous games?

-How many MK games have there been?

[Skaip]

Funny, that's one of the reasons I don't like Soul Caliber. My 10 yr old sister can pick up the controller, bash every button at once, and kick my ass. :down

[StrainedEyes]

I hope reptile is there in his Shoalin Monks version, and not the terrible Lizard form. Tails and waddles do not a good fighter make

-Which Reptile will be in the game,the ninja,or the lizard?

-I'm thinking they will have a tag team mode, but nothing has been confirmed

-3 four armed characters...Sheeva, Goro, Kintaro

-No one knows yet...his Shaolin Monks look, and his Deadly Alliance look are both shown in the trailer. I'm sure we'll be able to make old school ninjas in create a fighter mode if worse comes to worse (because I hate lizard reptile :down)

-roughly 58. They are adding the new character from Konquest as a playable character so that brings the current character tally to 59.

-a lot of Mk games lol. MK1, MK2, MK3, UMK3, MK4, MKDA, MKD, MKSM, MKSF, MK Anthologies

Also, Motaro has been CONFIRMED! He will be playable in MK:A

[Matt]

Also, Motaro has been CONFIRMED! He will be playable in MK:A

I reallu hope they do something to balance out the boss characters. I mean, Stryker vs Goro really isn't going to be a fair fight.

[Sparta*]

apparently all the boss characters are going through extensive balancing so that they are similar to the other players and fair to play with (unlike their MK Trilogy counterparts)

some classic stages that are returning...

-Graveyard or Wasteland (can't tell yet)
-Khan's arena
-Subway
-Armory
-Goro's Lair

Good to hear. Any word on the story yet? Is Onaga the villian again?

[krpton2]

I hope scorpion is the main character of the game. I herd that Liu Kang was supposed to come back from the dead. Rain is definitely going to be a killer.

[Matt]

I hope scorpion is the main character of the game. I herd that Liu Kang was supposed to come back from the dead. Rain is definitely going to be a killer.

I'd like to see something like Street Fighter Alpha...where each character has their own boss depending on story (example, Scorpion's boss would be Sub-Zero or Quan Chi, Sub-Zero would have Noob Saibot, Liu Kang/Shang Tsung, etc..)

[Sparta*]

Good to hear. Any word on the story yet? Is Onaga the villian again?

If you look at the wallpaper they released a while back with all the characters on it...it appears Blaze has a different look. He is bigger then everyone else, and i'm thinking he might be the end boss. I think Onaga will just be another boss type character like Motaro.

Also, there is a new interview freshly posted at gameinformer.com

[SouLeSS]

Mortal Kombat has sucked since UMK3. The 60 fighter thing is pretty ... stupid? Theres no plauseable way for them to bring back all the characters in the massivly flawed "storyline" they have.

So many characters died, and stayed dead for many years. Lu Kang, Striker, Jax, Johnny Cage (though he came back. Twice.)...What are they gonna do, just say "OMG ALL THE SOULS ARE BACK TO EARTH AND BLAH BLAH BLAH"

No. It's going to be crap. The ONLY reason I'll get this game is if the "Konquest" mode is like Shalion Monks. Only with (almost) all 60 characters. None of the "uber" chars (Major bosses, or people with 3+ arms), but people like Stryker, Cyrax, The original SubZero (Noob Saibot)...

[Savage]

...Well I'm totaly confused about your opinion of the series. Anybody else?

[SouLeSS]

My opinion? It's gone to crap since they started with the 3d. The storyline has always sucked, though it's a fighting game...so eh. The Konquest mode has been the only real reason to play the game in the past two versions, and it's still kinda ****ty. Shaolin Monks system would be good, but only if you could pick any of the main non-boss characters.

[TheCardPlayer]

Damn! I hate Kintaro usually but in that pic he looks so effing badass!!!!

WOW!

ah. I was just wondering why you'd buy a game you hated so much was all.

[SouLeSS]

Cause I have a lot of money, and it's like a collection thing. Not that I'm really bragging about the money thing, but 30-50$ to complete a series every few years isn't that bad.

Kinda like the Megaman X Games after 4.

[krpton2]

Mortal kombat 7 is going to be the game to get this fall. All of the other mortal kombats felt short of what i expected. This is going to make up for it.

[Brainiac 8]

Meh, not really looking forward to it.:confused:

I really think they are going to put in Khameleon as #60, but that's probably all we'll get. Those characters you mentioned (King Jerrod, Skarlet etc as well) would be great to have, but they never "threw a punch" in an MK game.

[GoldGoblin]

What does Khameleon look like,and what special powers does he have?

[krpton2]

I think she's silver, but i have no idea what she is capable of. She looks like jade.

[Matt]

Who is Skarlet?

[GoldGoblin]

After this game and they restart the franchise,how many characters do you think they will have?

[SouLeSS]

Back to the original 7 please.

[Sparta*]

Who is Skarlet?

She was a female ninja and her color was red. She was also known as Ruby I believe.

[Sparta*]

I think she's silver, but i have no idea what she is capable of. She looks like jade.

Khameleon was a grey female ninja character in Mortal Kombat trilogy (N64 version) she was transparent and kind of "throbbed" in and out of visibility. Her name on her health bar changed from green to pink to purple randomly and that's who's moves she would have for the moment (green = Jade, pink = Mileena, purple = Kitana)

She is not to be confused with Chameleon who was a male. He was in the ps2 version of trilogy and could use all the male ninja's moves.

Khameleon (female) was actually from the same species as Reptile. Her story is that she was trying to track him down so they could re-populate their race. Chameleon is from the same species as Reptile as well, but his only story is that he is an extremly skilled assassin working for Shao Khan.

[baby_webhead]

The arial combat makes this game look so much better then the last ones. Just a quick question. Do you guys know if you will be locked on to your enemy in battle mode like DA, or have to aim your punches and kicks like in SM? You guys get what i mean right?

[Sparta*]

It's going to be like MK Deadly Alliance and MK Deception except it will have aerial combat, and parries.

[Sparta*]

-bump-

The airial combat looks great. it looks like it will add a lot of speed and diversity to the fights. can't wait to try it.

Also, all the character are playable right?

Oh yes it will be webhead

[GoldGoblin]

I'm kinda looking forward to the restart game after this one more.

[krpton2]

lol me too.

[Sparta*]

Every character who ever "threw a punch" in an MK game will be in Armageddon.

[Cryostar1177]

Yeah, so I finally dug my head out of the sand long enough to hear that this is coming...I got dis-enchanted with Shaolin Monks (don't ask why, just didn't trip my trigger) so I've been anti-MK for a year or so now....have to say, though, I'm excited to see this coming out. I've always loved my choices. :)

Could it be that the 60th character is going to be the customizable character?

[baby_webhead]

maybe. They might say that "you" are the 60th character.

hope not.

[Sparta*]

so far there are 59 confirmed characters (Including "bob" the yet unnamed konquest hero) so #60 is probably going to be K/Chameleon, your created character, or the rumored bad guy from Konquest (apparently Konquest mode might have a good and bad story, with 2 characters, or the same character, but different good/evil scenarios)

[baby_webhead]

cool. i wonder if there will be any changes made before october.

[Juturna]

60 more unbalanced ****ty looking characters to not care about... whoo.

[Cryostar1177]

Hush yo mouth!

So I've seen that blaze is a character. Why? We've never been able to play him....I'd rather see like Meat or K/Cameleon(?). Is it true that this is the last one?

[Savage]

60 more unbalanced ****ty looking characters to not care about... whoo.

He was an unlockable character in Deadly Alliance.

[Sparta*]

He was an unlockable character in Deadly Alliance.

And Blaze looks massive in the group promo render. He is the onyl character to look like he has gone through changes, and his position is pretty important. He is bigger then everyone else, and he is right in the middle of the roster...that can't be a coincidence. I'm thinking he'll be important to the Armageddon storyline, because even his ending in MKDA left many questions...and possibilities of what could happen to him.

[Juturna]

Then quit b**ching and go play Tekken...Jesus. The attention whores around here.:rolleyes:

If I was an attention whore, I'd probably have caps with exclamation marks all over my profile... oh wait...

They need to change Reptile back into a damn ninja!

[StrainedEyes]

They need to change Reptile back into a damn ninja!


I'd be fine with Reptile in his Shoalin Monks outfit. His full out lizard is clumsy and dopey looking.

Though I do miss his normal Ninja form.

Reptile for life!

[krpton2]

reptile looks a real damn lizard in deadly alliance.

[Sparta*]

Lizard Reptile sucks compared to Ninja Reptile. His MK2, MK4, and MKSM looks are the best. We'll probably be able to make something like that in the create a character mode anyway so it's all good. I hope they give him some of his old moves back though, like the force ball etc.

[Sparta*]

Hush yo mouth!

So I've seen that blaze is a character. Why? We've never been able to play him....I'd rather see like Meat or K/Cameleon(?). Is it true that this is the last one?

It's true that this is the last MK...but only for current gen consoles.

[krpton2]

The forceball was classic. They should bring back the original sub-zero.

[Sparta*]

The forceball was classic. They should bring back the original sub-zero.

The original Sub-Zero is Noob Saibot now though. It would be cool if they had him as an alt costume for Noob or something. In MK Trilogy for PS they had Noob Saibot, Classic Sub-Zero, and Sub-Zero, so you never know. Boon did say every character that ever "threw a punch"

[Savage]

Lizard reptile has actually grown on me. More feral and brutal and vicious. Especially when the computer played him. I think if they gave him the ability to run it would make all the difference. Just having him rushing all over the place, clotheslining guys, growiling and whipping his tail around, not even giving you a chance to breath. Really show him as the most formidable of the original ninjas (like in the MK movie when his entire fight was pretty much one big "HOLY S**T!:eek:" moment). Stronger, faster, more agile. Really show that beast form in action and the benefits from it.

Lizard reptile has actually grown on me. More feral and brutal and vicious. Especially when the computer played him. I think if they gave him the ability to run it would make all the difference.

Yeah, but he can do all that without the flat uninteresting head, the tail, and the waddle when he walks. :up:

[krpton2]

Human reptile wins every other form.

[Cryostar1177]

I miss human reptile....I miss ninja look rain too.

So what are the chances that we get the human looking Smoke as well? maybe as an alt costume.

Personally, I can't wait for the character renders to start coming out....especially those hi-rez shots.

[baby_webhead]

i'm also hoping we won't get the zombie lu kang.

[Nathan]

I'd be fine with Reptile in his Shoalin Monks outfit. His full out lizard is clumsy and dopey looking.

I could actually live with full Lizard Reptile. It's just that they gave him the two most ****ty, slowest and useless fighting styles they could've thought off.

[Sparta*]

I dunno man, Hung Gar is a powerful style...Reptile always kicks my ass with it...the Crab fighting style is kind of retarded. His sword kicks ass though :up: Now they just need to lose the tail, give him his classic moves, and all will be well :up:

I don't think we are going to see human smoke...apparently his MKD alt costume was supposed to be him in his "human form" lol but it doesn't really look like it. Oh well, thats what create a fighter mode is for. They have released a good number of renders so far...i'm really waiting for the Motaro one though!

[Nathan]

I hope they give you a lot of design possibilities with MKA's create-a-character.

I so wanna kick ass with him. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/Dusk/mov40.jpg

Uhm... dude. There are only red X's.

[Sparta*]

What??? Is that the same for everyone because I can see them fine??

[StrainedEyes]

I can see them when I copy their link.. They are all looking good, I hope it keeps up... Specially with Reptile :up:

[baby_webhead]

i just see red x's, but their links work (like Geo said).

[baby_webhead]

after you load their link, they load on his page too. weird.

[Sparta*]

I hosted the images, now they should be working :up:

[G-Man]

Yah i see them already! kewl!!! BTW... i cant beat the last three bad guys in MKSM! >:O aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggggggg!!!!

[Cryostar1177]

I heard we get bada## raiden too, not the crappy blue raiden.

So does this mean the Reiko isn't Shao Khan :P j/k.....don't hurt me! *cackles profusely*

Thanks for the renders. I'm hoping for a good, balanced Jade character...

[Savage]

...Blue Raiden? :confused:

[Sparta*]

Raiden will probably still be bad-ass.

Reiko was never Shao Khan to begin with lol.

Yeah, a balanced Jade would be nice...it's lame how she can take away 50% of your health with one combo.

[Matt]

God, Stryker sucks. I hope his ending is something like "Realizing how badly he blows he puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger"

[Savage]

lol!:up::D

It'd be pretty messed up if he was the one that saved the universe.

[Venom160]

omg! I so can't wait to get my hands on this game!

[Sparta*]

omg! I so can't wait to get my hands on this game!

I know man! It is going to rule in so many ways............it is going to be the best MK EVER!

I never knew you like MK Venom :D

[zeptron]

Why does everyone hate Stryker so much?

[Matt]

Why does everyone hate Stryker so much?

Because I thought it was physically impossible to both suck and blow at the same time until I came across Stryker.

[kytrigger]

ahhh...so other people don't like Stryker either. I always wondered if I was the only one. I never liked him because I thought he looked stupid, didn't like the way he fought, and still couldn't beat people even though he had a gun...

[Savage]

LOL! Wow, never thought about the gun part...:D

[Sparta*]

I didn't mind Stryker in MK3...I thought he had cool moves, and he looked decent. In Armageddon, based on that render, I think his new look is stupid, and if they don't give him his classic moves, i'm going to join the "I hate Stryker" bandwagon.

[Sparta*]

I hope they give you a lot of design possibilities with MKA's create-a-character.

I so wanna kick ass with him. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/Dusk/mov40.jpg

You don't need to make him...lol that looks like Sub-Zero in his first costume in MK Deception lol

I think they're playing on the fact that he is a lame character to further accentuate said lameness by making him look like he's trying too hard...I mean seriously. WTF is he wearing?:confused:

[Drakon]

Who's that blue guy? and which one is stryker?

[Sparta*]

LOL! It's Nightcrawler :p

LOL! Oh crap. Knew I recognized that outfit. :D

[Sparta*]

What old school stages do you guys want to see in MK: Armageddon? What about new weapons for returning characters?

[zeptron]

Old school stages I would like to see:

Scorpion's Lair
The Pit 2 & 3
The Subway
The Courtyard
Wasteland
The Bank
The Rooftop(We actually get to knock someone off this time)

And I would like for them to bring back the Dead Pool just like in Deception.

[Sparta*]

The Subway has been confirmed, with the train deathtrap just like in MKT :up:

I would really like to see Scorpion's Lai, The Wasteland, The Bank (then the Rooftop as the top level) and the Graveyard :up:

There is a shot of a stage in one of the interviews that looks like the Graveyard and the Wasteland...I can't really make out which one it is

[Cryostar1177]

Bad a## raiden == Raiden in black with Red eyes....not wussy raiden in white with blue eyes.

The combo wasn't that big of a problem for me, that's why we have breakers...hell shujinko had the super combo that put jade's to shame....for the style she had, though, and the type of character she was, she needs to have a "pick you apart\speed" stype...not an I can hammer you with a single kick that takes 15% of your health style.

I guess that would make her Lei Mei, though. I'm looking forward to what they're going to do with Ashrah

[Sparta*]

There is a new interview on Kamidogu.com

Steve Beran states that they are trying to make Stryker more serious, and that he is going to have new moves :down :mad:

He also said that the Wasteland is confirmed, and it is going to have a "cool new deathtrap"

[GoldGoblin]

I'd be fine with Reptile in his Shoalin Monks outfit. His full out lizard is clumsy and dopey looking.

Though I do miss his normal Ninja form.

Reptile for life!

[Sparta*]

Well hopefully they give Stryker some of his old moves to go along with the new ones. I'm excited to see what new Deathtraps they can come up with. The rock grinder in the Armory arena looks awesome! There is also another grinder like thing in Shao Khan's arena stage. The interview also mentioned that they are going to be making a lot of new stages for MK:A and that they are going to be bringing back many classic stages :up:

[Cryostar1177]

So how many stages, total are they going to be having? MKD had a ton of stages as it was.

[Savage]

I'm suprised they're not releasing it for the 360 with how much stuff they're jampacking into this thing. The replay value is gonna be insane.

[Sparta*]

Unknown as of now...but i'd say at least as many as Deception.

The whole point is that it's NOT on the 360. That's why it's so jam packed

[MangleBoP]

I mostly just like the ninja charecters, a LOT of the others just seem kinda lame.(Jax, Striker, a bunch of other puny humans who aren't even different enough to be memorable)

I know. I'm just worried about space issues and if they can deliver.

[baby_webhead]

is there any explanation to why kung lao is a zombie? Cause i thought he would die at the end of SM or something, but i just finished that game and nothing happened to him. Is it because he was killed in DA? could someone explain it to me? Thanks

[Mentok]

HE was killed off in MK2 I think... then brought back to fight in the underworld/overland/intercourse... whatever they call that place.

[Mentok]

^I like the ninjas too.

[baby_webhead]

i thought lui kang (i meant lui kang in the first post) was the MK champion? so he won the first one and then got killed in the second?

[Sparta*]

Liu Kang was killed by Shang Tsung after Quan Chi cheapshotted him in the opening video of MK Deadly Alliance. He wasn't in that game, but he was in the next game which was MK Deception. Apparently someone was using his zombie body to kill a bunch of people, while his soul was detached. In Liu Kangs MKD ending, his soul fused with his old body and he was alive again...somehow lol

[baby_webhead]

ok. i get it now. thanks Sparta.

[Cryostar1177]

Yet in the promo pictures, they still show zombie bruce le...err Lui Kang *snicker*.

My worry with 60 characters is that you're going to have to find 120 styles, and 60 weapons....they'll tend to get repetative after a while....I hope they do a good job. I really hope that the Super-Deformed game is back....
<- spent hours playing it.

[Savage]

Actually it's not hard to find 120 styles considering they range in the thousands. They're gonna have to look for other people to do the motion capture though because I doubt Pesina knows every single fighting style on the planet.
