Mortal Kombat 11 General Discussion Media Thread

Just saw this today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9W5jG79gf8 they seem to think that Sony may actually be the ones responsible for MK11s lack of sexualised costumes rather than WB or the MK art team. Not trying to shift the blame, just thought it was an interesting point of view all things considered.

Steve Baran, Art Director at Netherrealm.

“Our character lead, Brendan George, has been a breath of fresh air of just introducing new ideas. Our design is just getting more mature and respectful. You’re not going to wear a bikini to a fight. You’re not going to be showing so much skin. I think it’s just what the game is about: You’re going in to fight for your life, and you’re not going to be wearing such scantily clad items.



“I’m sure that will disappoint some fans. We don’t have bathing suit fighters, and I think that’s fine. If people are disappointed, I don’t regret making that change by any means.”
 
Dialogue files have been found for the DLC fighters.

Spoiler:
Kabal: "Gonna chop you up and sell you for parts."
Terminator: "Your swords cut coitan-titanium alloys?"
Kabal: "Like a hot knife through butter."

Joker: "Would it kill you to smile?"
Terminator: "That is beyond my programming."
Joker: "Such a party pooper."

Joker: "Y'know, you remind me of Bats."
Terminator: "Who?"
Joker: "Just another jerk with no sense of humor."

Johnny: "Dude, you have "blockbuster" written all over you!"
Terminator: "Where?"
Johnny: "Ha! And he's a comedian!"

I remember people found dialogue files for the DLC fighters in MKX before the game was out. So this is 99% real at this point.
 
People found data for a room for a third Kombat Pass. It could be a placeholder, but NRS did say that they want the game to last longer than MKX and IJ2.

They already cut back on the sexy costumes with the last game, Ed even said back then that they needed to because they went too far with MK9. Sony has nothing to do with it.
 
I hope we get a DLC trailer on Monday. The datamined info is 100% real because the data files are available to download and inspect from the Switch version's internal files. There's also way too much code for it to be fake.
 
By now everyone has seen the 3 hour and 17 minute movie on YouTube...

I won't discuss unless in spoilers or in about 8 days...

But based on the ending, it wouldn't be too hard to incorporate the Street Fighter universe into the Mortal Kombat universe as canon...

It won't happen for three reasons.

1. CAPCOM doesn't want their characters dying or spitting blood.

2. CAPCOM is not afraid of showing skin, to make a more exotic outfit. MK prefers to conceal women, and not show any skin at all.

3. Also Mortal Kombat is about "maturity, respect and realism" according to NRS Art Director. Street Fighter is a fantasy game. It doesn't aim to be realistic.
 
Spoiler:
Cyrax and Sektor are full characters in the story mode. You have to fight them Yes they will be DLC...

You could also fight Baraka and Rain in MKX. Didn't see them as DLC, did you?

And the two characters you talk about do not perform Lethal moves. Plus their combos look like MK9 stuff plus with Tri-borg combos.

Injustice 2 had 3 DLC packs so it lines up with how NRS releases DLC now. I'm having a hard time believing this game will get more than two years of development support post launch though... I don't see them teasing Injustice 3 while still supporting MK11 (Patches, extra DLC ect,). They may throw in a pot bonus here and there to keep tournament players interested but that's about it.

I think the first two Kombat Passes will look like will be:

KP1:
Shang Tsung
Nightwolf
Sindel
Spawn
T-800
Joker

KP2:
Fujin
Sheeva
Ash
???
???
???

The last three could be Cryax and Sektor because they have data for their endings. We will probably get one more guest for KP2 as well like Doomslayer (Doomguy) or Robocop.

Well they obviously aren't going to throw Sony under the bus if it is Sony's fault are they. Like I said, I'm not trying to shift the blame, I just thought it was interesting to hear Sony are trying to cut back on sexualised content and coincidentally MK cuts out a lot of sexualised content. Just an observation.

Nah. Nobody is critisizing you. We just gave you info, to inform that it wasn't Sony.

MK11 decisions have been influenced by SJW/Greed culture.

I mean Jax ending was just..

Spoiler:
he goes to save black people from slavery, by making them kings and uses term "to get Woke"


I remember someone telling me, that SJW had nothing to do with MK11 on this very forum.

Well. All of the cards are on the table now. Please say that again to me. I want to hear it.

Ed Boon and NRS said that there won't be any lootboxes.

In the Krypt, chests now give you multiple random rewards. You can then reset the said chest for 2000 koins each. And then try your luck again.

If that's not a Lootbox, then I don't know what it is. Krypt is one massive lootbox.

This game is a shit show. It is a mobile game with 60$ price tag. Everything is locked behind grind and everything is made complicated, to encourage people to pay additional money. Like in a mobile game.

Man... seriously. Every bad thing I expected or called out, happened. In the worst possible way.

Oh one thing didn't happen. Frost didn't turn bald. Hip hip hooray I guess. She just got turned into a brat with need for attention and her entire character was reduced to a head, stuck on Mass Effect robotic body. How come Sektor and Cyrax got badass cyborg bodies, but Frost looks like SJW wet dream?
 
You're not gone yet? Are you deprived of attention? You announced you were leaving about 5 times but yet here you are, doing what you do best, about a game you have yet to play.

2 times actually. And I wanted to leave cause I had nothing to contribute back then. But I was shown a detailed info by people that played the game already. So here you go. Not to mention I live in Germany, and Germany was one of the first countries that got the game VERY EARLY. So I am getting info firsthand, from friends who have already played the game and invested quite a lot of time in too. I am not gonna keep this info to myself, especially when practices like this are happening. People have to be informed what they are getting. After all I spent a long time in this forum, and I know a lot of guys here. Last thing I want to happen for them is to be scammed and disappointed.

Not to mention I owe to some people here as well. They got me some exclusive info in the past. So here I am returning the favor in any way I can.

Though I do agree, I am not staying completely neutral as my disappointment is seething through edges. That is true. I should keep it more professional and report shady practices in a more neutral way. I can keep my disappointment to myself. I do apologize about that.

And why should I play this game? Supporting game with such shady practices? You serious? Pay 60 bucks for a game, that has been ALREADY revealed with ALL of the details, of being a big casino machine? That's your bright idea?

P.S If I had nothing to say, I wouldn't be writing here.
 
It's stupid and funny how people that think if something that is against racism or sexism in the story, it is SJWism. We had movies, games and other forms of media that delt with those type of themes before the stupid term "SJW" was even a thing.
