Kratos to star in upcoming mortal kombat

A lot of whining and *****ing for a character... for no particular reason.

I'm ALL FOR IT.

THANK YOU NR. IT WAS A GREAT IDEA:hail:
 
I am with Araknyd03...
People should have the choice NOT to have him in their game. Make Kratos DLC, without being in story mode and also unavailable for online fights!
After all, if Kratos is in the roster, it should be done similar to MK vs. DC where Shao Kahn is not in the main roster but on an added field. That would mean that there are still 26 MK(!!!) fighters+ Kratos as special PS3 guest.
I am going to hate this idea if one of MK fighters will be left out only because of Kratos. It will piss me off if even Stryker won't make the cut!

So it's okay to praise his inclusion but not complain about it? Get lost.

I hate fan boys that use such moronic logic. That's like with the Mileena thread I made. People had a major stick up their asses because I hated her golden design *rolls eyes*.

I can't believe Kratos was confirmed. Wtf were these people thinking?
 
I'm very excited that Kratos is in, and I've been a huge MK fan since seeing MK1 in the arcades in 1993.

I agree that it's almost certain that he will be only DLC, and not selectable on the main screen when you buy the game. So I don't get the problem. He doesn't take up any other character's space, and extra characters are only worked on once the main character roster is finalized (all 26). So if you don't want to see him, don't buy him. What we don't know yet is if there will be the option to select online opponents who play between the updated or original roster. But it's very likely that he'll be DLC - they won't put TWO bald heads with faces painted white on the main screen, if they are including Quan Chi on the main screen.

And it's great that they are attracting other players who maybe wouldn't buy it by including Kratos. They'll buy it for Kratos, but stay long after as a fan because of the gameplay. People complaining that they won't buy the game now are ridiculous. Nothing has changed in the gameplay or normal characters. No resources were used on Kratos that could have been used for someone else that is important, since all of the UMK3 characters have been pretty much already confirmed, except maybe for Sheeva. And much MUCH more MK fans and gamers would rather have Kratos than someone like Sheeva.

There are have been many times where additions and subtractions of features or characters in the MK games over its almost 20 years of existence, had made me disappointed or agitated. This is definitely not even close to one of them.

That was my thought, too. I think that the roster is full now. They wouldn't add extra characters without a clear vision of the original roster. And since there is no Kratos on Xbox360 the original ps3 roster will be the same as on Xbox. I can live with Kratos as DLC but I don't think that I'll buy him!

An inclusion of a character is always a benefit because there's more choice. More choices are always better, even if some of the choices suck. It's like hating a channel on your TV cable network. If your cable service added another Home Shopping Channel, do you rage on the whole service, even though nothing else has changed for any other channels? No, you just don't go to that channel if you don't like it. But the option is there for others who want it.

Were you around when the 3d MKs included extra modes like Kart Racing, Chess, Puzzle Fighter, Konquest, etc?? All of them added nothing to the main gameplay, were only somewhat fun (except for Konquest which I really liked), and were just extra development time that could have been used elsewhere because it had to be finished for the disc release of the games. But with Kratos likely not being on disc, they could take their time on him, once the main game is mainly finished, and they could even change settings and update his gameplay hit spots/hit damage on the fly at a later online update (which they want to do for all of the characters) to fix gameplay glitches or 100% combos. Plus an extra character would take much smaller development time than an extra mode that is useless.

So if Strawberry Shortcake was a character in this game, you'd be cool with it? Even though she has nothing to do with Mortal Kombat and doesn't belong in the game AT ALL?

What if Perez Hilton was added to the game as a playable character? Or George Bush? You can't possibly tell me you wouldn't be pissed.
 
Since Microsoft and Rare works hand in hand I'm hoping for a Killer Instinct character on the 360 version.
Sinder, Glacius or Spinal would be awesome. Maybe that "you've got to have some Killer Instinct" from the Nikita episode was a hint for this.
who knows, but it would surely be awesome ;}

Because its a REBOOT man, weve been saying this time and time again, if youre gonna reboot the series, then focus on rebooting it. Now since theyre involving kratos, that takes away from the original point of this game, and us hardcore fans do not like that.

First of all I am a hardcore fan buddy I have played all the MK's when they originally were released. I see you couldn't have simply because your age so I am "Hardcore". Secondly, I don't see how this will affect the reboot of the game itself, especially if they make him like an incredibly hard to get unlockable or even jus a DLC. I still haven't got one respectable reason of how this will affect the overall game.

If any extra character fits reasonably into the art style and (MOST IMPORTANTLY) gameplay, won't be included in the main story mode, likely won't even be on the main character screen, doesn't take away development time from other characters, and helps sell copies of the game, then, no, I don't care who else is in it.

Kratos fills ALL of my criteria. While your hilarious examples don't, and aren't even video game characters to start with. You are letting your emotions get the best of you. LOL

/whisper It's Cinder with a C not an S

I thought about him as well but he would be compaired as a Blaze clone (even though he was created first) and would make a good fit, Glacius would as well except I dont know if there is room for two "ice type" characters even if they are diffrent in style both cosmetically and in function, Spinal would fit right in as well as Fulgore in my opinion.

All this KI talk today makes me want to go home after work and fire up the arcade machines.
 
I don't own a PS3, and even though I think God of War looks awesome...I've never actually played it, but I still think that's pretty cool. I can understand why people don't wish for him in this game. Personally, I am not one of those people. As long as the game is awesome and is focused around MK, an added character for the hell of it is no crime imo. He has no story presence, so he's just for fun so to speak. Soul Caliber pulls it off fantastically, and it's one of my favorite parts about those games. I loved the 3 different exclusives back in SCII, with greats like Link on Game Cube, Spawn on Xbox, and Heihachi on PS2. I think a happy medium that would please all fans, is having him be DLC so that if you don't want him you don't have to have him. I believe this will be the route they take.

With that said...as a 360 owner, I would LOVE for a Gears of War character to get the same treatment. Marcus, Dom, Carmine...doesn't matter. I would love to see their Fatalities and their personal level would be pretty sweet. Out of all the exclusives to 360, I am pretty sure a character from Gears would be the first place they would turn to, especially with Cliffy B already all for the idea. I recall at E3 he tweeted about how much he was loving the game, so if Kratos turns out to become 100% confirmed, I would think a Gears character is already being made as well. If the 360 doesn't get an exclusive character...well that would kind of suck, but it's still no big deal. The game is gonna be great regardless.

This is gonna get MK even more publicity however, and THAT is ALWAYS a good thing.
 
As far as Gear's character goes in MK...

One last little nugget to drive this all home to make it all make sense... Not many probably recall right away, but an MK character HAS been featured in an Epic Games game before. Raiden was featured as an extra character in Unreal Championship 2 on the original Xbox. Which of course, was made by Epic Games, the same makers of Gears of War. It's not too far fetched...
