found the Scorpion/Kratos January OPM in the grocery store today so I thought Id share a lil something. Most is known or can at least be inferred, but I think its still interesting enough to post:
1. Mr. Boon states that there is exactly a 99.9% chance that any of your favs from the first 3 games will be in MK9. This is a step up from his "if you have a fav, he/she will probably be in the game" quote back during E3. What does probably mean? 99.9% lol. I really have no doubt about Sheeva, Rain, and Stryker's inclusion.
2. I am still seeing a bit of confusion about Kratos's "story" in MK9 for some reason. Mag states that though Kratos will have his own story and introduction, he will not be in the official story mode. To me, it sounds like he will have a lil bio just so he doesnt seem like he was randomly "stapled" onto the game. I guess the guy does need a little unofficial integration lol
3. It is uncertain if tag teammates will be able to perform special team-based attacks.
4. Jax does Sheeva's Nail Driver and then punts his opponents head off - football style. (Description only)
5. Folks will get crushed by oncoming Taxicabs. A stage fatality no doubt.
6. Ermac's fatalities include telekinetic attacks where he lifts one in the air and does "horrible, terrible things to them"
7. I found this interesting: Apparently, Jackson Briggs has cybernetic arms AND legs? Thats what the mag says. A mistake maybe?
I saved the best for last:
8. Boon's description of the game: "It's over-the-top to the point that I dont think anybody can even take it seriously anymore." "Its like this campy, funny thing."
Campy: consciously artificial, exaggerated, vulgar Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/campy
A good section of the kommunity thinks some of the women are ill-portrayed. Sonya wears heels, no bra, and no shirt when she is supposed to be a Special Forces agent. Sindel wears "nipple straps" when she is supposed to be this "regal queen". Mileena is a whore, blah blah blah.
Who cares? Like Boon says, this game is not to be taken THAT seriously. Its all for good fun and entertainment and eye candy, not some accurate simulation of character portrayal to please the die-hards. If one cant take the game's campyness - perhaps he/she is anticipating the wrong fighter. Why so? Because in Mortal Kombat land, Special Forces Agents dont need bras to enforce justice and Queens prefer to be provocative while they wear the crown.
