To entertain the denizens of Outworld--and remind them of his brutality--Shao Kahn presides over fighting exhibitions in this enormous Coliseum. The emperor’s throne is positioned at the very center of the structure: the ideal vantage point from which to savor the blood and fear of the kombatants. For these tournaments are no mere sport. Enemies of the empire are routinely cast into the arena to fight for their very lives. The victors are celebrated; the victims have their remains scattered among the spectators, who show their displeasure by hurling the severed heads to the arena floor.
This is a fighting game in which players engage in one-on-one battles against characters from the fantasy-based Mortal Kombat universe. Players compete in a series of combative rounds in order to advance to different matches throughout the game. Players use swords, guns, chains, spikes, and supernatural attacks (e.g., fire, ice, lightning) to defeat a cast of human-like characters. After an opponent is defeated at the end of a match, players have the option to perform finishing moves called 'Fatalities.' Many of these finishing moves depict over-the-top instances of violence: impalement, bone-crushing body snaps, execution-style gunshots to the head; large blood-splatter effects occur during these sequences, staining characters' bodies and the ground. Several of these exaggerated finishing moves depict characters getting dismembered, ripped or sliced in half, stabbed, set on fire, or set to explode. During the course of the game, female characters sometimes wear revealing outfits that expose large amounts of cleavage; one female fighter is depicted partially nude, covered by a costume of thin cloth strips. Language such as 'f**k' occasionally appears in the dialogue.

Not my type of character, He looks too slow and only has arrows as his long range attack (head of helios seems to only work close) not whining, i'll try him as he might be a great person to play as but judging from what i see he looks kinds lame.

The one thing that pisses me off about this site is whenever we get a conversation going in one topic, the moderator has to lock the damn thing just so he can post his own topic. BS. There have been alot of good conversations gone on in here only to get shot down cuz he posted another one in the news section. Just leave the damn original topic open. As for Kratos, he looks badass and in NO WAY does he look slow, gimme a break

I didnt like his stage though, its basically the same place you fight Zeus in GOW3. I would have rather had an outside environment from GOW 3. Oh well.

I thought his gameplay was pretty cool, but what is "QTE?" that everyone keeps mentioning? Is that when it prompts the player to press a certain button? Kratos was also moving in slow motion when he did certain moves in the air, would the opponent be able to block that or what?
Originally Posted by : Shin LiThats exactly what it is QTE = Quick Time Events odds are you cant block it, I am thinking you get QTE when your doing a throw.

See I quite like it for that reason. It was the place where Kratos had his harshest battle, the fight which had had taken 3 games to get to - plus it just looks awesome!!

Although the trailer was very nice and showed us more game-play and arenas a small, the arena “The Courtyard” seems to lack the feeling it had in the older times. It could be the fault of the build, and btw. How old is this build anyway? Seeing those masked guards, which finally show some interaction with the player in the ring, makes, me fell excited to play this game more and more but at the same time it shows me that this arena lacks something, it has not the luster anymore which it had in the very first Mortal Kombat Game. It is a very small detail and while I do not think many people have noticed it and many people will probably not care about it, furthermore this detail doesn't make the game less playable, or even less enjoyable or likable yet makes it worse, nevertheless it seizes a small portion of the feeling of this arena. I am talking about the lack of swords that the masked guards have. Since the very first Mortal Kombat game, their sword was a kind of trademark also included in Mortal Kombat Deception and Shaolin Monks. Here are some pictures which shows what I’m talking about (Sources can be directly seen in the links) A picture of the very first courtyard arena: http://mkw.mortalkombatonline.com/mk1/arenas/thecourtyard/01.png A render image of the masked in Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, they also have their swords in game: http://images.wikia.com/mk/images/e/e4/Mksm_masked_guard_render_tn.jpg Having a sword a second weapon gives the masked guard the feeling that they are somehow more than just mere guards and that they should be threaten with respect and reverence. Just having their spear transforms, the Masked Guards in my humble opinion just in generic guards who do not seem dangerous and dignified. Moreover they appear so, that they can be taken lightly. In the very first Mortal Kombat game they gave the tournament a feeling of importance and seriousness. Although it may be an old build and in the final version the guards will have their swords it may not happen. If this happens than it will not be the end of the world but seeing the guards having their swords as well as their spears would be the icing on the cake on a already great game. Maybe I am a person who is in love with very small details, however I think that these small details makes a very good game.

Shao Kahn's pet looks deadly, I could very well see a stage fatality based on it. Kratos arena was the best choice, it would not fit having Hades or Kronos arm as his stage, but this one fits the feel of the other MK arenas, and still gives a GoW feel. And Kratos gameplay, we can't be sure he's overpowered. He looks nice, now I don't think the QTEs are weird anymore. For the ones saying he's only available on versus mode, that's not true, he has a bio and an ending, he'll be available at least on arcade mode too. Now, about online, I don't know.
What was missing from Kratos's stage? Aphrodite and her two hot maidens!

I like it. However his fatality against Sindel looks REALLY weak. Same with his X-ray.
"[The two we're adding] are Kenshi, who players will recognise from previous MK games, and more excitingly we're adding Scarlet. Anyone who knows the history of Mortal Kombat will tell you that back in the days of the arcade - when they did just palette swap characters to come up with multiple fighters in the game - there was a glitch in one of the old arcade machines that caused the Jade/Katana/Milena female ninja to glitch and turn red. People always thought it was a hidden unlockable character and it wasn't, it was purely a programming glitch. They've always speculated and in fact it was the fans who named her Scarlet to begin with. She's no longer a glitch - she's an actual character, and she'll be coming pretty soon post-launch." - Hans Lo to CVG

MORTAL KOMBAT: SONGS INSPIRED BY THE WARRIORS
TURNS THE VOLUME UP ON APRIL 5
Soundtrack Executive Produced by JFK of MSTRKRFT/Death From Above 1979
Burbank, CA (March 24, 2011) - WaterTower Music and Teenage Riot Records have unveiled the details of the album Mortal Kombat: Songs Inspired by the Warriors. This collection of electronic music inspired by the upcoming Mortal Kombat game is being executive produced by JFK (of the DJ/ production duo MSTRKRFT and Death From Above 1979) and is set for release April 5th.
JFK has assembled a spectacular group of DJs and producers to continue the tradition of weaving electronic music into the Mortal Kombat aesthetic. He enthusiastically describes the project, saying "It's always exciting to have the opportunity to write music for something outside of the traditional means, especially when it is for a project like Mortal Kombat that has had such pop cultural significance for so long. It’s a great step forward for the ways that video games can interact with music across unique genres and mediums."
That same excitement has been echoed by the artists who are contributing to the project. "I've been a Mortal Kombat fan since Mortal Kombat 2 came out on Sega Genesis. This was completely a passion project for me, and I'm so honored to be a part of the Mortal Kombat legacy!" declares glitch-step wunderkind Skrillex, who contributes “Reptile’s Theme” to the project.
Celebrated producer Harvard Bass, who recorded “Helado (Sub-Zero’s Theme)” for the collection, adds emphatically "When I found out I was going to work on music for Mortal Kombat, I almost lost it. I've been a huge fan of the game and it was a privilege to be a part of video game history." And DJ and producer Congorock says “Mortal Kombat has shocked me since the first time I played it…for the album I went for something more atmospheric and less clubby, but still it feels like a dream coming true.”
