Re: neo (from the matrix), terminator, tomb raider. who would you like as dlc?
Let's be realistic, guys. One non-MK character for each system is more than enough, and I really really doubt that there will be more. This is a main series game, not a Smash Brothers or Marvel vs Capcom where adding more mixed characters helps it out.
And they don't have time for much more. I guess they have finalized the main 26 characters, but I was surprised that they had time for someone extra like Kratos at all.
Don't worry Taj Gill - people are talking about Kratos now because the news is still fresh in our minds. If Kratos is shown on Saturday, we'll see it rise a little further, but it should die down quick once other famous characters that MK fans want are shown for the first time, like Baraka, Raiden, Goro, Smoke, Liu Kang, Kabal, etc. that people will forget about Kratos for a while.
I think that NR/WB shouldn't release anything else about Kratos until much much closer to release, after the majority of other characters are revealed. So as to keep him as an 'extra character' and not as the main event of the game.
edit-
Really, I think the only reason it was released this soon, in the Playstation Magazine, was to coincide with its likely showing on Saturday at the VGAs. They thought that this was best showing to entice new fans to MK with a famous Sony character. I think the VGA was good time for publicity, but too early to show an extra character when the majority of regular characters weren't announced yet. If WB showed off Kratos for the first time only a month before release, as a preorder or DLC, then I don't think that some fans would be as mad as they are, because they would know all of the other regular characters already, and see that he is only a DLC and didn't take a spot or development time of another character.
