Raiden 1st for me; gotta hear that Yabadabadooahhhh

Scorpion 2nd with Gamestop DLC classic costume

 

[diamondstar]

If you want to preorder online Fry's website was the only place that still had them when I checked yesterday. Best Buy is sold out.

I ordered my KE from Amazon, and then I broke down and ordered the TE from Walmart when everywhere else was out of stock lol

Hell yea! Thanks man.

 

[AEREC]

I really wish amazon offered release date delivery for the TE...ive got one day shipping on it but it still says it should be delivered on the 21st.

At least Ill have Portal 2 though.

 

[The Lamonster]

Do you have to install all PS3 games or is it a choice like on Xbox?

 

[Washed_Out]

Amazon updated their MK page

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002I0J998/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Thanks for the heads up. I was upset about no release date delivery earlier this week.

 

[SolidSnakex]

PS3 version? How big is the install?

The required hard drive space for the PS3 version is 1.55GB.

 

[Bleepey]

I have free Prime for students so I'm good to go

FYI for everyone, this is only for the 360 version. I'm likely double-dipping, so I'm getting the 360 version from Amazon now, but may go elsewhere for the PS3 version.

Phew, that's not too bad. Thanx.

 

[Khezu]

Today Giantbomb is doing MKvsDC on there TNT tonight, well its not the best game, and I honestly don't really want to watch it, jeff has had a good amount of time with MK9, so it should be kinda interesting to see what he thinks of DC after playing 9 for awhile.

Some are required, some are optional and others don't do it at all.

Oh man, are those guys streaming this too?

 

[TekkenMaster]

Where in the United States is this being sold early?

 

[Ken Masters]

how long is the story? is there a story for each character?

 

[The Lamonster]

Small businesses, not retail chains. Not many of them around these days, and even less that would break street date.

I'm betting I wouldn't be able to find one here in Los Angeles, then...not many mom & pops here.

Same with here in St. Louis. It's probably like that for every large city.

Only orphans there?

 

[sixteen-bit]

The story mode covers all characters if I'm not mistaken.

 

[fernoca]

Story Mode apparently only has (amount of chapters)

Spoiler

16 chapters, and all from the "good guys", and the ones that later "turn good" like Cyrax, Kitana, etc. No specific chapters for the rest

. But still quite long, probably 10 hours long if not longer.

I'm loving the Annihilation pictures in the last pages.. XD

 

[burgerdog]

Thread is too big to look for this answer, so sorry in advance. Is this a pad or a stick game? I have a ps360 but my stick is for 360.

Depends on preference, more than anything.
It only uses 5 main buttons (2 punches, 2 kicks and block), and you can customize it.

And inputs are mostly directions, rather than motions. So depends on what do you like.

 

[Irish]

I think I've seen a lot of people saying it seems to play a little bit better on the pad, but I'm no expert.

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

Trying out Noob Saibot first, his moveset looks straight beastly.

I think there are a couple. I don't live in LA, but I know some guys from the Madden GAF league that live in the area and they had their go-to shops to get it early.

Great topic btw. Still on a media blackout.

Dan Forden just posted a blog entry about the audio for MK

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011...ng-cinematic-audio-and-the-origins-of-toasty/

It also includes two audio tracks and the origins of 'Toasty'

Awesome. I love the soundtrack samples posted in this blog entry. I've definitely heard the second one before, but never appreciated it as much as this before. Both are fantastic tracks. Can't wait to turn up the music and sound effects in the game, though I hope the default mix is significantly better than the demo. Can anyone who has the game/watched a stream confirm? Anyway, I hope that there's a soundtrack release before too long. The 'inspired by' collection isn't really my thing.



Also, as Ed hinted and per Gerstmann's tweet...

Spoiler

Rain

confirmed?

I always had a feeling he'd be in the game rather than added later as DLC. Just hope he's as magnificent as he was in MK Trilogy.

There are a couple places I used to always go to when I was in the LA area. Rather not post their name here cause I'm paranoid and NRS is watching everyone!

 

[DasRaven]

A new stream is up, two people playing versus on PS3.

Kratos' fatality is brutal.

Thanks man, I just knew someone would have it today or friday and stream it up, hope spooky gets it soon.

Dammit I wanna plaaaaaay the murtaaal kommbatts

Is there no chat for this stream? Or am I stupid?

 

[Struct09]

...and I'm done with the thread until the game is out and I've played it. See you on the flip-side, MK GAF!

This is the first stream I've watched of the full game, and after seeing Scorpion gameplay, it really does look faster than the demo.

 

[dralla]

i cant believe the person who gets the first hit automatically gets a third of a bar of meter. i thought that was going to be a demo thing

 

[sixteen-bit]

I hate everyone.

Dammit I wanna plaaaaaay the murtaaal kommbatts

At least you got to play SFxTK urley

 

[Kweh]

Ermac looks sweeeet.

 

[SolidSnakex]

It's the Ermac and Scorpion show on that stream.

 

[The Lamonster]

haha, my girlfriend calls it "mertle kombat"

 

[GhostRidah]

Ermac looks crazy good, still going to main that Scorpion though.

What time does it start?

MK has always rewarded aggression. That's why there's block damage, big meter for first hit, and special moves that generally put the characters closer together rather than zone them out.

Remember MK Trilogy's AGGRESSOR meter?

 

[flarkminator]

Can be disabled with kombat codes.

We have a "tournament mode" code, which disables that, toasty, and also the foreground objects.

Throwing is also encouraged!

 

[S1kkZ]

damn, ermac looks really fun.

Yeah, I guess.

But that doesn't have Kano in it!

What the hell? This game has everything! I am now at the point where I need to see it to believe it. Tuesday is so close now, I can taste it.


One thing that has been bugging me in the Gamestop commercials - why aren't Klassic Scorpion's eyes white? They look orange and catlike in those commercials.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"It's the Ermac and Scorpion show on that stream."

I'm okay with this.

Shame there's no aggressor in this. Shit was balls.

Ermac player's getting really good really fast with the combos.
