Does anyone know how many characters you can create?
There is no confirmation on what you ask, dude. Read below. Particularly the
RED section, dude
Armageddon's character creation system is truly top notch and impressive. When you're going down the list to preview the different items and how they look on your character, each change loads fast, making the process enjoyable, not frustrating. Everything you can possibly think of is customizable, top to bottom. And it's all very easy to navigate through and do what exactly you're trying to do without any confusion whatsoever.
You can create male and female characters from a handful of body sizes, and modify everything from their face, cheeks, eyes, hair, and hair color. From there, you can put seemingly unlimited numbers of accessories on the upper and lower body, ranging from hats, bras, gloves, pants, belts, boots. To top it off, everything that you equip your character with has an endless number of color combinations to choose from. The palette of colors is very remarkable. You name it and the chances are you can do it.
But it doesn't stop there. Once you're happy with the appearance of your fighter, you can move on to customize everything from fighting style, weapons, and moves. Each character in the game has a fighting style; whether it may be karate, eagle claw, kuatan, tiger fist, and so on and so forth. There are dozens to choose from and you can pick whatever style you feel like. You can also select the weapon you want your character to have. In the Xbox version, pressing the left trigger switches back and forth between your fighting style and your weapon style combat. There are two categories to choose from: axes and swords, and there are three of each to pick and choose from of each. Swords include the autumn dao, kriss, and ninja sword. The axe-type weapons are the axe, cleaver, and war hammer. When you choose your weapon, you can also choose how you want to hold it.
The final stage for creating your very own character is to modify the moves list. Everything from basic moves, taunts, and special moves can be assigned to the buttons of your choice, allowing you to assign moves to whatever buttons that feel most comfortable. Additionally, you can create a biography for your player, including giving him/her a name, an origin, and biography. For what purpose does this serve you might wonder? Those who have Xbox Live will be able to take their created character to the online arena, biography and all.
There is no word on how many characters you can create and use, and when asked if this was the final build for "kreation", our company rep was too uncertain to give us a straight yes or no answer.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
