I know all of the crazy roster speculation is going on and I don't want to get ahead of myself as these reveals are exciting, but I had a random thought on DLC and was wondering what you guys thought.

So this idea requires a little more work which worries me about the chances of it happening. But I loved thr narrative driven story mode of MK9 but couldn't help but feeling a little let down with the DLC once you played through arcade mode.

So instead of getting one new character every few weeks, would you guys be willing to wait a little longer and maybe pay a little more for a pack of say 3 DLC characters that are related (not this whole offspring related kick they're on) somehow and with the characters it would come with a mini story mode with these characters that would happen somewhere in the MKX time frame? So something like side stories?

I think it would be a cool idea and not just your generic fighter DLC. What do you guys think?

Yes, I really like that idea. Sort of like a mini expansion rather than just a stand alone character. Unfortunately I doubt they would do this since it would take more time and cost more money.

I agree. Which sucks. Instead of the 6 DLC characters everyone has been speculating about, I would much rather have 2 packs of 3 characters with a mini expansion story included with them or I may even settle for less characters if it means that it comes with a story.

I think it is a really good idea. It would give the DLC Fighter more personality and a "face". Instead of telling the Story further they could Show the perspective of the character in some pivotal Points of the Story.

I like this idea. Or even if it's not part of the main narrative at all, maybe something along the lines of a ripple, showing what happens to characters who have ties to those that will die in story mode and or act as a set up towards possible storylines in the next game; like if Liu Kang is evil this time around, maybe show Raiden visiting Kai in an effort to train more Shaolin warriors.

I agree with everything above. I was thinking exactly along those lines. Say a DLC character is a character that was left off the MKX roster but was on MK9. Maybe it would be a mini story about what they were up to during a part of the MKX storyline. or if something big in MKX happned how it effected that character.

That's beckon

But I'd also like maybe some fatality packs or something

That too. If I had any say what-so-ever I'd say

Pack 1: 3 characters with story elements + 1 classic arena
Pack 2: 3 characters with story elements + 1 new arena
Pack 3: Classic costumes + Classic fatalities + 3 classic arenas

I'd be a happy camper with that.

Save making the cutscenes and story stuff for the next game and just keep rolling out characters I say. I wouldn't hate full expansions but I don't think it's necessary. The ladder endings and intros are good enough.

Better yet, if those parts are inserted into relevant points within the story mode it adds new replayability to the story mode.


It'll never happen though.

We can skip classic elements in this game. If support new costumes and fatalities

I could get behind "klassic kontent" if it meant stuff from MK4-MKD. No more Trilogy stuff though, please.

They should really add a expansion pack like SF did. More kharacters,mini games,friendships n a few klassic arenas. This game looks amazing on all levels n with it now being sold on 5 systems n in the top 5 most wanted games on gamespot,sales will be up,plus dlc sold very well in mk9.

I didn't found the DLC "wish" thread, so I'll just post this here (sorry for the annoyance).

A character that I never seen cited anywhere when it comes to guest, and which IMO be a perfect fit for MK (even tho, WB doesn't own the licence and that the game he comes from is pretty much dead for a while now) is Raziel from Soul Reaver.




His story is dark, revoles around vampires, soul stealing and mystical stuff just like MK, he know how to fight (sword, hand-to-hand), got a lot of specials (soul stealing, telekinetic, fireball, teleport using the spirit realm, etc...) you can easily figure 3 varation and a decent fighting style out of it.

Since he comes from a mature game and that he's technicaly unkillable, no problem with doing fatality on him.

And about his design, I'd say it fits perfectly the MK roster, he wouldn't be out of the pack if they ever included him as a guest.
