Exactly. If you must have Quan Chi, he should be wearing his MK4 outfit at this point. As I stated before, he doesn't get those tatoos until Deadly Alliance. It was even a plot point!

To my knowledge, WB Games bought the entire Midway back catalog, except for the licensed sports titles (for obvious reasons) and the Cruis'n trilogy (owned by Nintendo).Khezu said:
The WB Games logo appears when starting up Hydro Thunder Hurricane, so that IP was just leased to MS and Vector Unit to make that game.
Story wise they changed a lot of things, but at this moment we don't know if there are other reasons for things. Maybe (mild spoilers?)
Oh, and reposting:
Quan Chi knows about the time-travel thing of Raiden..even more seeing how the story mode ends and what the characters involved say. But we won't know that, till the next game.

REGARDING THE ONLINE KOMMUNITY THREAD
While the online thread is create and posted in the upcoming days...
Here's the spreadsheet to add your PSN/Live usernames (quote this post to copy/paste the link, let's see how things work out. Remember to copy-paste only the adress):
Just select a box write the information on the respective area, colors, etc. leave them to me.
And also remember to File > Save after you're finished.
So if a "troll" decides to have fun, we'll know for sure the troll is from here or got the link here. in that case, I'l proceed to put it as a regular post in the, upcoming thread.
Another (rather obvious) thing, demos are make-or-break serious business. I almost paid the 120 bucks Vanquish costs here (yes, 120 US dollars in-store) before I played the demo. Everything I would read and see about the game looked perfect. But I decided to check the demo first and... didn't like it.
Same could happen to MK. I used to love the series, and everything looks perfect, a must-buy. But I could easily touch the demo and hate it. It has happened with my favorite series, KOF, and it sure could happen here.
Having a demo for some players but not others is just insane. Either leave everyone in the dark or no one (no, I have no way to check the PS3 demo - I have one friend with a PS3, and he lives 10 hours away, an $18 bus ticket).

But that still doesn't work here. You see, why would
Quan Chi even know Raiden was trying to change things? How does explain Mileena being created during MK2 when her bios clearly implied she had already been around longer?

So I've been listening to some Bombcasts recorded around the time when MK vs. DC was released. Really interesting to hear their speculation about this game at that time. I don't doubt that Boon probably tipped them off on the project off the mic, as he made mention of the "next game" in their interview. And here we are, so very, very close to it's fruition. Stuff like that just makes me smile.
On a related note, are there any videos out there of Jeff playing UMK3? I hear he's quite good.

I don't mean to undermine your hard work, but how about you use the initiative started by Ferrio in this thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=427298
That way it`ll surely have everyone in the Neogaf community in the loop.

Look at the intro video of MK1 and compare it to the other 6 canon games. Its only 15 seconds. They had to extrapolate and add more stuff to it. It wasn't until MK2 where the lore of MK really took off.

I appreciate that but if I just want to play some people in MK I don't want to sift through a list of players that don't have it. It's not like every shooter has a master list...

I know that... and I'm fine with say Kitana, Jade and Baraka being at MK1 (well a little) but I'm just saying I really think they changed too much from what I've seen...
and honestly it really sucks that they made Raiden.. you know what I'm not even going to call him Raiden.. Thunder Idiot into such a retard for the story to work.
Sure there are, they did a Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 TNT! Two hours of Brad and Jeff ripping dudes apart, blowing up Earth. You know, the usual.MyEpitomeCliché said:
Yeah, it's a great initiative; and there's nothing stopping others to put MK and their info there.AAK said:
But at least for the specific MK thread; is the one that will be used, since it will make things easier for everyone when talking and discussing MK and looking for specific players to play with.
One of the reasons Ferrio did it, was because most OTs being abandoned a little after, which is something I'm not planning on doing as long as I'm a member here, there's interest in the game..and I'm alive (lol that sounds cliche ;p). That's why there will be a separate thread for the online talk, so that others can discuss and talk about it there instead of thrown between a bunch of character, story, and gameplay-related talk..

How exactly do the leaderboards work? Is it just Win-Loss records?

That King of the Hill feature? With spectator avatars that can emote as they watch the match? While I was working on an Xbox MMO at a game studio back in 2002 I wrote a design document for a fighting game (was meant for xbox 1) featuring those exact features . Bound to happen sooner than later and I am glad it's coming in a game that looks as good as play as this one.
I also suggested showing the health on the back of the character in the game I was working on but got shut down... Worked great in Dead Space though!
Hopefully soon I can unleash my own game on the world (and have it ripped apart by GAF).

Why are people debating consoles in this damn thread? GTFO with that junvenile bullshit.

I'm pretty sure it's down to 360 players being unhappy about receiving an inferior product for the same cost as PS3 version. To be honest this is far worst than day 1 DLC with 360 players being forced to support this shitty work-practice if they want to play the game, and ultimately rewarding developers for spending resources on content they'll never receive (or an equivalent). Though thank you for your helpful contribution.

Then you brought the whole issue up again, so...bravo, I guess?

Case Zero, Case West and all the Fallout 3 DLC (6 month's exclusivity) say hi. Like others have said PS3 gets one high profile exclusive and the world ends. It's shitty but a smart business move and WB DID approach MS first.Spirit of Jazz said:

So, watching the MKII Giant Bomb stream, and I just realized something.
The ninjas are wearing catcher's shin guards. Ninja with baseball equipment! It is something I cannot unsee. I hope I have ruined it for somebody else.

I've been reading about the Kratos character and stage, and am seriously debating about picking this up on the PS3 instead of the 360. Still haven't decided though.
I noticed people mentioning the story mode opening. I know it was featured in the Machinima stream yesterday. Does anyone have a YouTube link to it? That stream is horribly choppy for me.

How is paid DLC equivocal? The best example would be VF but that was due to an updated version being released 8 months later on 360. This is the case of consumers paying the same amount for the same product and one group receiving less content. Also as stated before in the thread; there's no evidence at all to the WB approaching MS first rumour and apparently when a gaffer asked at PAX it was said to be bullshit.

why does everything have to be equivocal? Is that your consumer right?
I've been away from the internet for a little while. I assume there's still no 360 demo or bonus character announcement? Forgive me if I missed it, but the OP is a little on the large side and I could have overlooked it. Anyway no need to answer 'less I'm wrong (hope someone answers haha).

No, but as a consumer I feel it's a poor business practice and I'm not exactly thrilled at spending the same amount of money on less content? What kind of argument is this, clearly people shouldn't aim to treat people equally?
Holy shit though I'm just giving up on this shit, clearly I engineered this apparent console-wars (really, have I argued any consoles superiority here?) bullshit and it has nothing to do with the product their providing being superior on one format. What a tool I am for believing I should be treated equally by companies.
There has never been a bonus character in a fighting game that was worth a damn. They have all been either really stupid or ridiculously broken. SC4's multiplayer was a mess thanks to Starkiller being a cheap ass broken character.
I don't see a problem with just getting the base game, if Kratos is broken then PS3 MK is worthless online.

Yeah... if you're a big MK fan I'd think you would almost want a Kratos-less version more because nothing is intruding on the pureness of the game or the integrity of the online/versus play (if thats what you're into). The Kratos trailer looked hype but at the end of the day I wouldn't be having fun if it ended up just being a Kratos fest.
Those that added their IDs to the spreadsheet, another column was added to put if you're usually going to play: competitive, for fun or to train/get better.
So if interested in adding it, update the info.
And again, just in case:
Link to the spreadsheet and some basic instructions is in the second post.

Part of the reason I'm going 360 first is to avoid the Kratos hoarde. Once he's confirmed to not be broken I'll double dip on the PS3 version.
