Do you want another pack of characters after the release of ??? ? Vote and discuss.

1000x yes!

Some people are worried about the next game, it seems. In this context, there is something I do not understand: why do the makers of (most) fighting game feel the need to remove characters when going from one iteration to the next? This makes no sense to me at all (*). I mean, the characters are already designed -- why not keep them (and add new ones, of course). I sincerely hope MK10 will contain all characters from MK9 (including all DLC).




(*) I could understand it at the time when memory was limited/expensive, and I kind of understand it for games with digitized sprites (because they would all have to redone from scratch if the gameplay changes even just a little -- i.e. going from MK2 to MK3). But nowadays when all the characters are 3D models?

My only worry with releasing loads more DLC characters would be that they don't have anyone new for the next game.

I was the second person to say no. Sure I want more kharacters but I think 4 kharacters is enough. Save all the new/revamped old kharacters for MK10 like Frost, Bo Rai' Cho, and Tanya. Especially kids like Fujin, and Shinnok.

I would like NRS to give us some arenas, or some more missions from Khallenge Tower, or maybe even another area in the krypt. Even more kostumes would me nice. I just want more variety in DLC. That's all. Just my opinion.

They can just create more, I dont care about the next game, this is now, and this is MK9, live the present people!

I agree that MK10 should contain all the MK9 characters and the DLC characters (although there are a few like Sheeva I wouldn't miss). But that's the problem if they release all the most popular characters as DLC now. The only new ones for MK10 would be unpopular characters, so there isn't a lot of incentive to upgrade.

 

[Mudknot]

I dont see them putting in everyone in MK9 or MK10. However expect a chance at new characters on the opening roster in MK10, thats all im guessing.

 

[Dan Cowan]

No more characters. Plain and simple. I just want Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain, and playable bosses. Let ??? be an xbox exclusive for all I care. Just let us have more arenas. Although if I had to have a ???, it would be Ashrah.

Agreed! Live in the now. Everyone will buy mk10 reguardless. Boon said he has big plans for mk9, so why shouldnt we expect more characters, arenas, challenge tower missions, -alities, and skins?

 

[Metal Overlord]

Or they can just work on the next game. lol

I guess I don't have a problem with more DLC. As long as they don't start tossing in characters who have no place in this game. This is why I'm hoping Shinnok and Fujin aren't released. It isn't their time. Save that shit for the next game.

Tanya, Frost, Reiko.... They'd be good DLC. They aren't huge characters and can easily be worked into the story. But Shinnok? No effin way.

Um, work on the next game when this game just came out? How about "HELL NO"?

People forget that this is an alternate timeline, so it's a bad idea to assume MK10 will be a remake of MK4. The only reasons this was a remake of MK1-MK3 was because this is a fan service game, and that was the only way Raiden could prevent the reality of a future Armageddon. Now with Armageddon prevented, there are multiple directions they can take with the storyline. Who's the say the One Being or the woman in Jade's ending aren't the main villains of MK10? Or what if MK10 only focuses on Earthrealm rebuilding its defenses or rescuing the fallen warriors from Quan Chi's control, while Shinnok and Quan Chi only focus on their own armies?

And who gives a damn about the next game? MK9 and its DLC is the focus. They've done such a great job with this game and supporting it, and ditching it like Sega did with the Saturn only for a new game would be a bad move. We don't to start thinking about the next game until it's announced. DLC has absolutely nothing with the story of a future installment, or else Kenshi would've been DLC for the next game and Quan Chi wouldn't have been an on-disc character, he would've come into game only via DLC.

 

[Metal Overlord]

Ah, sorry. I'm not saying there won't be any future DLC. Obviously, NRS will talk about whatever they're releasing when they wish to. Having said that, Boon is a little too keen to play down or discount many comments made to him on Twitter. He's said "No" or "Probably not" to a few characters, new stages, finishing move variants... it makes for a rather depressing read, quite frankly. That's why I have some doubts about further DLC - because you have to wonder what's left that hasn't been discounted.

I think down the road since they are planning on supporting this game for a long while, they will be forced to consider adding new arenas, finishers, etc. Right now, it's cool to just release characters and klassic outfits. But that's not gonna last considering we don't want another Armageddon-sized roster (not even Ed Boon does), and there's only so many klassic outfits you can release.

Honestly, they are missing out on a gold mine if they don't consider adding klassic fatalities, friendships, brutalities and arenas. Do you know how many people want friendships alone, let alone all the other goodies I just mentioned? Don't even get me started on endurance and survival modes. It would not only be pure fan service releasing stuff like friendships, new -alities and the endurance/survival, they'd be making a fortune off of them. It would really increase the longevity of this game. I can't believe that they'd seriously miss out on this golden opportunity to include that stuff as DLC, I just can't.

Characters are cool BUT they should release:

Endurance Mode
Survival Mode
More fatalities
New alternate costumes
The option to select which chapter you play in Story Mode.
The option to skip cutscenes
Brutalities
Add EVERY character to Ladder and Tag Ladder (10 fights is too short even playing on expert)
Quick Match Mode-Meaning instead of playing ladder, you can just have an exhibition match with the A.I.
Custom Matches-Allows you to turn on the kombat codes
Krypt needs some TLC, ( I have over a million coins with nothing to use them for.)
All DLC Characters need a spot in the Necropolis.

I know that's a long list but that's what I would personally want.

I want Vs CPU, and actaully you can skip cutscenes at least in PS3 you can, just press X.

WANT! All of them I totally want!! I absolutely want the Quick Match Mode because I feel alone when I have no one to play with

Lucky you. Unfortunately on Xbox, you have to watch every single cut-scene.

 

[DCR]

It depends on who ??? is. All I really wanted in the way of DLC characters was Rain, who we're getting, and Cyber Smoke. If ??? turns out to be Cyber Smoke, like a lot of people are speculating, then I'll probably be relatively indifferent to any other DLC character possibilities. I just don't give enough of a shit about anyone else who's been left out of this game.

So basically, no. After this batch of characters, I'd probably rather just have new costumes, stages, modes or even Challenge Tower missions. Unless they overlook Cyber Smoke.

 

[Eswin17]

Let's say that the ??? character is Fujin.

I would like the next 4 to be:

Tanya
Li Mei
Reiko
new original male character

If I can't have one of those, Kai and Jarek are alternates.

I will stop clamoring for MK9 DLC only when they announce the next game.

if the ??? is an xbox exclusive i will shit on the game, ship it to nrs and DEMAND a refund.

Mind if I ask, why would you want a refund if the ??? was an exclusive character?

*thumbs up*

 

[Metal Overlord]

It's obviously impossible for the 4th DLC character to be an Xbox exclusive, simply because all 4 characters are for both the PS3 and the 360. LOL, I can't believe so many people are overlooking this simple fact.

 

[chessmaster]

Mind if I ask, why would you want a refund if the ??? was an exclusive character?

because i would no longer need the game. the only reason i have it is to play online because i have friends who have the game. the way people gravitate towards guest characters and exclusive characters he/she will make up 50% of the online matches. it would be even worse than it is now facing scorpion and smoke 4 out every 5 matches.
