The first three MK's will out on XBLA and PSN this summer. Will buy.

I bought the PS+ MK2 earlier this year.. I forgot how fucking cheap the AI was in that game..

What I really want is a version of MK Trilogy. I used to play the shit out of that game on N64.

I'm sure it's a coincidence, but I found it slightly interesting that Mortal Kombat Annihilation makes a passing reference to a Stryker / Kabal tandem, and now they're portrayed as NYPD partners in this game.

Miracle4ever... HE MAD
I'M A FUCKIN' MURDER YOU

I don't play games online but maybe I should so I can get people yelling at me like this.

 

[Scroby]

Miracle4Ever just got made famous and is probably going to get a Web Redemption on Tosh.o

Classic skins dlc is on PSN now for $5. It's not up front in the new releases, so you have to go to the add-ons section to find it.

 

[Smues]

The DLC is up on X-box live too. I picked it up last night, mostly for the classic fatalities I didn't have.

Good luck with that one buddy!

what a maroon!

I never understood why people would pay that much for a simple DLC costume. Considering the game has the artwork in the krypt, common sense would say that it would be released via DLC eventually. Then again, having all of the costumes a few weeks earlier than everyone else is totally worth the $100 or so for some people.

 

[Smues]

That was the highest price I could find now. Two weeks ago there were some going for $70 to $80. Don't know if anyone was dumb enough to actually buy at those prices. At least with the Reptile ones you could make the case that (without the now available DLC) that was the only way to get it because it was an Amazon pre-order exclusive and you don't know if buying it online after release is still going to include the code. But the Scorpion and Sub-zero ones going for so much was ridiculous. Why would I pay $60 for a scorpion code when I can walk into a Gamestop and get the full game with code for that price or less?

@MK_MortalKombat:
"Skarlet will be available June 21. So will free Cyber Ninja skins."

Also, the trailer at the end of the video here lists Kenshi and two more characters to be DLC.

I hope Cyber-Smoke is one of those skins!

 

[vivisectvi]

Rain as well at the end of that vid!

I'd actually assume Cyber-Smoke would be his own character, but you never know.

Nothing on Cyber Smoke has been announced unless he's the ??? at the end of the trailer.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

That looks like Director to me.

Could be him.

Though the fanboy in me is secretly hoping that the rumor I posted a while back is true and that's actually Jason.

He could just be a skin though.. it worked for Cyrax & Sektor and their human and cyber skins. I'd love for him to be his own character with other moves, though.

True, true.

I'd personally rather they release Klassic Smoke as a skin and Cyber Smoke as a seperate character.

Yes, I'm kinda bitter that for some reason Smoke wasn't part of the first Klassic Skins pack.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

If the skins are free I'm guessing there's no Retro Compactor fatality for Sektor?

Unless they make it DLC later, I guess not.

...though Cyrax's version from Deadly Alliance was cooler.

"Klassic Sektor and Cyrax skins included with the free Mortal Kombat Compatibility Pack"

What's the Compatibility Pack?

What's the Compatibility Pack?

IIRC, it's what allows people without DLC like Skarlet to play people who have that DLC.

 

[bps21]

That's exactly what it is.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

For those that want the not-unlocked-from-the-start finishers for Skarlet:

Fatality 2: Foward, Back, Down, Down, Back Kick (B Default for 360)
Stage Fatality: Foward, Back, Foward, Front Punch (X Default for 360)
Babality: Down, Back, Down, Towards, Back Punch (Y Default for 360)

Those that have PS3s can put what those moves are for it.

Skarlet's Babality is...different.
