<b>IGN: Mortal Kombat Armageddon has the biggest roster of the series ever, which means we have, what, 30-plus characters? In what context do all these characters coming together make sense from a story standpoint?

Ed:</b> The roster is a lot bigger than 30 characters. It's actually a lot closer to 60 characters. Since the story really ties up all the loose ends from Mortal Kombat 1 all the way to Deception, we want to include everyone. Plus, since this final chapter is all about the final epic battle we need to explain what happens to EVERYONE, which means leaving no stone unturned.

I got to read the artice, see the video, and see the screens earlier today at college and all I have to say is...wow. My hopes and expectations for this game have come a lot closer to being confirmed, and with Ed Boon coming out to say that Motaro's in is just...wow. I'm stoked for this game.

Excuse me while I cry, it looks like so much fun, I can't wait. D=
