Episode #9 of
MKast has finally been posted over at
Worlds Collide and on
iTunes.
This new episode features special guests MK Creative Director
Ed Boon and Senior Designer
Paulo Garcia. This episode was created just after the game's release and their initial reaction to the players getting their hands on the game. They also reveal some
Fatalities and
Pro Moves, which due to the late release of the podcast are
already known. Lots of topics are discussed from past to future games.
What I really enjoyed was Ed talking about the past and how
Fatalities all had to be discovered in the arcades. He wouldn't tell people how to do them, and always be amazed when he saw someone do them. He mentioned how he first saw someone do
Shang Tsung's Kintaro Morph Fatality from
Mortal Kombat 2 at the now closed
Dennis' Place For Games. These are the days that I miss, of the community having to actually discover each fatality one at a time. I remember going to the arcades each day to see what else has been discovered, or even rushing to the arcades after reading about a new discovery on the
Usenet. Brings back some great memories.
During the MKast they also teased
Mortal Kombat 9 again, which they jokingly referred to as
MK9: Attack of the Dogs. We're not sure what that means, but it'll be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves. Ed
had mentioned before that development has already begun in some form. Since the engine is already in place, I'm sure it wont be too long until we know more about the next Mortal Kombat game. I just hope it doesn't have a "Attack Dog" feature like
Call of Duty: World at War does!
Thanks to
MK_Sarah over on the
Midway Boards for the headsup.
