marcus fenix may be coming to the relm of mortal kombat

well so heres the post of what ed said RT @Nemo_Griffin @noobde What would've been the Microsoft exclusive if you had a choice? Noobde: I wudda wanted Marcus Fenix from Gears. and here is what cliff blenszinski said @therealcliffyb
@noobde Hit me up about that!
 
Recognize that Boon says "Wanted".
As in past tense.


I severely doubt Marcus is coming via DLC.
Maybe in UMK9, but not vanilla MK9.

probably not

I know gears 3 just came out, which might be a reason people will start suspecting his inclusion, but I dont think that really means anything. Freddy was put in and no one really was into Nightmare on Elm street, as the remake was released a year before mk9

But you never know, if NRS think they can make a quick buck off this (which they probably would) then nothing is stopping them. It's just I strongly doubt they actually care enough about xbox to even bother making him a character
 
go to twitter those are the actual words and hears something from gamerant In the lead-up to the release of Mortal Kombat (aka Mortal Kombat 9) the internet was buzzing with questions for Ed Boon. Following the reveal of Kratos as the exclusive character for the PS3, everyone wanted to know who and what the Xbox 360 players would be getting as an exclusive.

For a while a rumor persisted that Green Lantern would be the exclusive Xbox 360 character, but that myth was later debunked (and the YouTube account associated with the video was subsequently deleted). Further rumors regarding the Xbox 360 versions of the game were revealed closer to the launch of the game and suggested that a unique Pit stage and even Puzzle Kombat would be included. From the rumored list of features, only avatar support for King of the Hill mode made it into the game.

While this was all happening, Boon remained silent regarding NetherRealm Studios‘s plans for the Xbox 360 version of the game. Once MK released, fans began to ask Boon if he would ever reveal the exclusive Xbox 360 character and yesterday on Twitter, Ed Boon, while replying to a fan’s question, finally stated publicly that if he had a choice in the matter he would have chosen everyone’s favorite COG, Marcus Fenix. What Boon probably wasn’t expecting was a reply from Epic Games‘s Cliff Bleszinski encouraging Boon to get in touch with him about it.

Of course a conversation via Twitter between two industry giants isn’t necessarily indicative of anything. In fact, Boon has already stated that more MK9 DLC could be on the way and that MK10 is already in development at NetherRealm Studios. So it’s entirely possible that we could see Marcus Fenix come to the Xbox 360 as an exclusive character for this game.

But would we want Marcus Fenix? If NetherRealm Studios can do as good as job with him as they did with Kratos then sure why not? However, as much as this may anger the fanboys (or as I shall now refer to them ‘fanimals’), Kratos just fits MK. Sure he always fights with weapons out, but other than that, he works within the context of the game. You need only switch up Zeus with Raiden and you can put Kratos into the game with minimal shoehorning. Fenix on the other hand is trickier, and could be viewed as redundant given how Jax is already part of the game. Plus, would he fight Lancer out or only bust it out for Fatalities and specials?

Since we don’t have the answer to any of these questions, let us know in the comments below what you think. Go ahead and comment… we’ll keep an eye on Ed and Cliffy’s Twitter feeds and let you know if anything else happens.

Mortal Kombat is currently available for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

honestly, I'd rather have Ganondorf like your sig shows


any chance Boon is close with nintendo? Any recorded conversations with them?
 
Screw Marcus Fenix! Why have him...... when you can have Matt and Kim!?!?!?!


I am not joking. Maybe a little bit.
 
if that was to of happened it would have to of been sooner. now it would be dumb to put him in to a game that just got it's final patch.
 
Falcon Punch fatality FTW! lol
Back on topic: I hope this doesn't happen because I don't feel like sifting through 30 "we hate Marcus" threads. On the other hand, if this spurs them to make more DLC I'm all for it (since I don't have xbox it wouldn't even be a problem).
 
Oh god, putting a character from a horrible game franchise would be incredibly stupid.
Freddy makes sense, he's a cold blooded killer, and likes to watch white women's tits.
Compare that to fenix, oh shit, he has a ****ing gun with a chainsaw, that's so cool.
 
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! LOL I do not get the obsession with guest characters. they look so corny and out of place.

I never understood the obsession with guest characters either.
Out of all the people that want / are obsessed over guest characters, how many people (not including AMES) actually MAIN guest characters, in MK9?

If it's a ton of people, I'll shut my mouth, but I HIGHLY doubt it.
Guest characters are nothing more than a gimmick, no offense to those who like them.
People will play them for about a month, get tired of that character, and move on to another MK character on the roster.

I said the same thing about Kratos, and people nearly crucified me for it.
Freddy makes just as much sense as Kratos.
In all honesty, NONE of them belong in MK.
