The Flesh Pits as in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (enlarge):

The Flesh Pits is very Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, I love it.

Amazing!! The Lab is WOW!

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

That even looks damn-near similar to the pic/video of LOTR that I posted.

Huh...the Courtyard floor has a big Shokan logo in the center of it. And judging from the way the that greenish light shines up through the grate in the night version, I bet it's a trap door that Shang can use to send people to Goro's Lair.

I like when they connect stages to one another to create a sense of geography like that.

to each their own opinion. the flesh lab looks like a mad alchemist's lair in the bottom of a castle. there is nothing modern about it as the incubation chambers are made of stone with glass tubes and metal covers. fits perfectly in an outworld environment.

The stages look incredible...first time in a 3D MK that I find the stages live up to their 2D counterparts.

Great pictures! Thanks for the links. One thing noticed - during the Courtyard night, you'll see about four 'dragon poles' that hold a flame placed at the left and right of Shang Tsung and then two more on the main platform where they fight. These disappear during the day version.

Huh. Looks like it took Shang a few tries to get it right.

I suppose this disproves the existence of the Lin Kuei lab. Oh well.

I too was picturing something Uruk-hai like for the pits, but this works.

Disappointed in current lack of Kombat Tomb and Portal, contented with everything else.

That would make a very cool hidden/stage fatality:

When the beaten victim stands on the shokan-logo in the courtyard you can perform a stage-fatality on him, the shokan logo will open underneath the victim and the victim will fall down into goro's lair, there two random shokans will rip you to shreds in a 8-arm flurry.

Also the flesh-pits could have some cool stage-fatality.

You uppercut the loser into the glass-cage with mileena's flesh-pit body in it and it animates and tears you to shreds inside the boil-cage so the water turns carnage-red.

That's what I was about to say!

Nah,Goro was the only Shokan at the first tournament. There's no need for any others.

The stage fatality is probably going to involve those onis they have in cages down there. Armageddon was going to have that,but the team ran out of time.

Well Oni's could be another idea, just change the name shokan into Oni and you have it, the effects would pretty much be the same anyway but with less arms, I can see the moloch-like Oni's tear the victim appart like Noob's fatality and then one starts eating on the upper body while the yet ANOTHER Oni comes in an steals it away from the eating-one they fight over the corpse and tear it to little shreds.

Also, unless they just weren't finished with it at the time and it's on a later build, the lack of a Portal stage shoots down the theory that the fightable hidden characters are located exactly the same way as the old days, unless they simply moved the down and start to another stage.

I hope the former is the case. The thought revisiting this timeframe again and having no giant portal fills me with rage.

Why is the Joker's head on a spike in the bottom of the Pit.

It's a hint to tell us that MKvsDCU was a bad idea and the game should just die out and be forgotten about.

yeah, yeah, this girl inside the green liquid tube in Flesh Pits, I think seems to be Mileena ...... wrapped in white bandages ..... hum .....

So , think on this, you imediately think about ...... hehe

It's very errie. It looks sick, though. It's probably Shang Tsung's lab... the heads in those jars... and the bloody clevears and the ripped open guy... SICK.

All the levels look AMAZING. I'm too lazy to post my favorite... okay, I'm not!

All of them! Except for Shao Khan's Throne and the Soul Chamber. Not impressed.

This is one area where they have outdone themselves. The arena's look amazing. I have minor complaints (such as the red portal in the sky missing from the Rooftop stage) but as I said, they are minor compared to what they have done with most stages. And the amount of stages is more than impressive.

I wish they had re-designed certain characters with just as much care...

Loving every bit of this new game.

So... The Flesh Pits *are* the Laboratory.

Casselman- I'll take my Six Parsons of Space Cash now

Mileena reminds me of Comic book X-23 (laura) more and more.

Holy shit!

Man, I hate spoilers, but I GOTTA look. No story elements for me though.

Well, if you enter a thread saying SPOILERS in the title, you are only ruining it for yourself and have yourself to blame.
