The realms will tremble under the weight of the Viltrum Empire. Omni-Man approaches our timeline.

Looks like Omni's fatal blow and fatalities are adapted directly from the animated show; should make both mk1 and invincible fans happy.

Yeah the squishy eyeballs were over the top IMO....

They should fix the broken as fk main game first before whoring out DLC

I believe the DLC was already in the making which is the reason why ite releasing so soon. I haven't tried MK1 yet but will wait for the ultimate edition or something where it includes everything and the game is all fixed up.

 

[MasterDerico]

Tremor Kameo!

 

[SJRB]

I hate this so much. Not only is the game barely out and they're already pushing DLC while the technical state of the game is suboptimal, but bringing in random characters from outside MK sullies the entire experience. It ruins the immersion and the "soul" of MK.

Makes MK look cheap, B-tier.

Next up on the DLC roster: Timothee Chalamet's Willy Wonka! Watch as this beloved character melts Sub-Zero's face into chocolate!

 

[kunonabi]

He's as boring as I expected.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Looking forward to the GOTY edition a year from now with all the DLC characters included and fully patched up

Welcome to modern gaming my brother.

Game looks fucking AI generated like 95% of recent games. The fatalities are also so bland.
In the past games, fatalities had a creative and funny flair to them because they were some kind of special ability of your fighter and they managed to do some crazy shit with those. But they even fucked that up.

And I bet this DLC was also ready months before the actual game released. Gotta keep the kombat passes comin'!

 

[Sleepwalker]

Guarantee Homelander will be a reskin of him too.

The trailer is pretty good and so are the scenes but man I'm just not feeling this MK at all, maybe when they release the inevitable Komplete edition for under $30.

I thought the same thing. The best Fatalities in the game are the kameo ones, and that's because most of them are taken from older games. All the new ones are about how gruesome can we get, but there's no panache or creativity to them.

WB are sacks of shit that dont care about MKs 30yr history which is why we havent and wont get any sort of HD Kollection at all. Fuck even arcade versions of MK1, MK2 and UMK3 in a package would be amazing and sell tons

All of this sums up exactly how I feel.

Whoever's in charge of MK now has no idea what MK even is anymore and just continually shits on its legacy.

So sad to see.

The sad part is that Willy Wonka idea you have would have me a hell of a lot more pumped than any of these DLC options, lol.

The even sadder part is that I actually care about the "lore" of MK and the last few games have dragged it through the mud. Their insistence on time travel shenanigans has killed any and all stakes in the series. A character dies? No big deal, there are a million other "versions" of them from various timelines. The villain is going to win and the world is going to be destroyed? No big deal, just go back in time and change everything.

It's to the point where the actual MK characters now feel like the guest characters that you mentioned. This Raiden is no longer "our" Raiden. Hell, in this game Kuai Liang takes Hanzo's Scorpion moniker, his clan and even his freaking WIFE, lol. What kind of numbskull writer came up with THAT garbage?

In a similar vein, WTF were they thinking with the change to the intro dialogues? They freaking suck ass in this game. Only two lines of dialogue and they only appear in very specific modes to the point where you will never see them if you are mainly a single player gamer. This combined with no longer having customizable intros and outros for your characters gives them a LOT less personality.

Anyway, I realize that this rant doesn't have much to do with Omni-Man so I will stop here, lol.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Huh, didnt even realize this game came out.

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Omni man Or Superman?

[Gambit2483]

Comic book character that became famous (or infamous rather) based on Amazon Prime's "Invincible" animated series

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

He wasn't in the game already? So peacekeeper and homelander aren't either?

 

[Spukc]

Yeah the squishy eyeballs were over the top IMO....

They should fix the broken as fk main game first before whoring out DLC

what is broken as fuck main game? i finished it and it seems fine>?

 

[Radical Dreamer]

i hate guest characters in mk :/

 

[Syphon Filter]

He looks like John Jonah Jameson .

 

[_Idea_of_Evil_]

Not sure what the complaints are about. Omni-Man is a brutal and fun character to add to the MK1 roster, especially since the lore now crosses timelines/universes.

Looking forward to the others.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

He looks fucking fantastic. MK games are trash tier to play when it comes to fighting games but I'm SERIOUSLY considering getting the game and invading the player base as an Omni-Man pure whether I get stomped or not.

Also of course they're only gonna use show only material, don't wanna scare the casuals or spoil them with comic content.
