Liu Kang's Vignette released. Kano and young Shang revealed! New stage!

Finally had some time to check out the site and was very surprised to see Liu Kang's vignette. The video is freaken awsome and like the way how young Shang and Kano look. NRS did a great job on Kano and like how he has the same look from the actor that played as Kano on the MK movie. Couldn't ask for a better look, but alos like his UMK 3 look.
I noticed the KE figurine of Scorpion and Sub-Zero on the video. Will it be the same when you preorder from gamespot and bestbuy or will each have their own figurine look? Can someone hit me up on that info and please no smart ass remarks?

I said it before, and I'm gonna say it again, the HDD is readed just like normal discs, because it is a disc. The reading time from the HDD is just as long as from a normal DVD or Blu-Ray. So, installing the game on the HDD will not solve the problems.

This video sort of begs to differ on that

There's about an 8 second decrease in load times on 360 in GTA IV when loaded to the HDD vs the DVD, and across another small sampling of games in another article, it was up to 15 seconds. If Shang Tsung's morph time would be within that range on the DVD/BRD, then installing it to the HDD, assuming NRS could get the same kind of results, absolutely would be feasible.

But, I would agree with you that if we're talking about Shang Taking 60+ seconds to morph then it wouldn't make a difference. However, I don't think they would even consider putting it on disc at all at that point.

Edit - I did some digging around and it appears that the HDD vs BRD improvement would be more utilized probably for loading matches faster. There really is no example that I've found of a fighter being tested in this department. So I would say the jury is still out on whether it is or isn't possible for the HDD to be a solution.

Yeah, you're right. But still, even though HDD is faster to load than DVDs, it's still not fast enough. Loading 26 characters to the RAM would taking a f***ing huge time, even if it's intalled. And loading then at the moment you input the command still wouldn't be fast enough, the game would stop for some seconds, and it would kill the pace of the fight.
