MKT over UMK3? you both need help.
But I don't think that'll happen, I still believe we'll see the game in 2011 and likely before April. But I have no direct knowledge of the situation beyond that the project did in fact have some actors re-filmed for the game as I stated in my story six months ago.

Interesting. While I'd absolutely love for the game to be released before MK9, I'm not sold that could happen. Others have suggested WB would want to hold off releasing it too close to MK9 as to not overshadow it (or worse, hurt its profit margin).
Pat, do you think releasing the HD Kollection in the next 2 1/2 months would hurt or help MK9's sales? I've heard arguments both ways and feel that both sides have merit, but I lean towards thinking WB will wait until MK9's hype has died down. Then again, as some have suggested, the HD Kollection could theoretically boost sales of MK9 by giving new and old fans a taste of old school, 2D MK goodness.
Well the early leaks of MKHD both said and showed on the cover art that it came with a Demo of MK9. It's possible now that it may come later, but I think one reason to do the release on a disc is to bundle the demo with it. So it's just my hopeless optimism that the game will still show up before MK9.
The HD Kollection itself would really showcase what MK9 is going to be like, but including the demo should guarantee a first day buy for anyone on the fence. Should be interesting to see what WB and NRS decide to do in the next couple months, I guess.
I know it's not NetherRealm's fault, but it's frustrating that WB would put out false marketing.

Same.
This game is still down on XBL, right?
There are no dashes in the first 2 games and the Run button mechanic is dramatically different from the dash mechanic in MK, so the new game will play nothing like the old games.
I agree that having a demo would push us fence-riders off, but who knows which way that will be?

You can't be serious. Pay 30$ for a demo with a couple of characters and 1-2 stages while full games cost less?I'm not spending the $30 for the Kollection ALONE. I WOULD easily pay $30 for the MK 9 demo disc though.
I still wonder what harm an offcial announcement does? an annoucnement that confirms the game being in developement, just that. The elvis/conspiracy responses on twitter..if you can't say anything about the game, simply ignore the twitters. Maybe fun playing little mindgames with the fans...but for me..I'm not pissed..but more like Danny Glover...I'm too old for this shit.

If the MK HD is a total remake with new filming etc, it would be well worth the 30$.
I didn't exactly mean they'd play like MK9 or vice versa. As I'm sure you're aware, there are many fans who were introduced to the series during the "3D" era of gameplay. To truly appreciate MK9, you should be familiar with the klassics (HD updated or not). I think you'd have to agree, while MK9 will have a unique feel that no other MK game has had, if you were going to compare it to any previous games, it'd be MK, MKII and UMK3. It certainly will not play like MKA, MK, MK:A or MKvsDC.
but the new game is being made to play just like a cross up of MK2 and UMK3, with dash instead of run (stupid stupid STUPID imo). Different from the arcade era but that is exactly what they are trying to recreate while keeping it "fresh".
It doesn't seem like it's gonna play like any of them, really. As best I can tell, it's gonna have a similar feel to MKvsDCU with no 3rd field of movement and some UMK3 style combos mixed in.
