As long as it's not Fuu-Jin or Sareena, I'm cool

Point taken and understood maybe if I could just take off my rose-tinted nostalgia glasses...I guess I was just stretching the idea because i'm keen on the inclusion of the entire roster of both MK1 and MK2 except for maybe Sonya, Kitana and Jax I could careless about any of them. As for the fans of those characters? Bark loud enough and i'm sure NRS will hear your cries. As I stated before DLC is here to stay and the completionists and loyal fanbase will all jump at the chance to snag their favs.



TL:DR The more the merrier.

Nostalgia definitely plays its part. For me though, it's more about the atmosphere than the characters, and right now, everything seems filled with grays, yellows, and shaded lighting. I need some color, lol! I was hoping the next reveal would have some color in it, and we got Kano with gray pants and no shirt. They even sucked the blue out of Sub's mask. I'm dying over here.

I do like the MK1 characters overall. Those cats are great, but they're like the wheat bread of the series. I need my MK2 pastrami. And some mustard... maybe ketchup, too.

Logic absolutely matters. I love Kobra, but everyone else hates him so logically he has no chance. Because I know everyone hates him, I don't mind that I'll never see him again because, logically, NRS would never make a decision that would make 1% of the fanbase happy and 99% pissed off. See? Logic. Just because it doesn't mean anything to you, doesn't mean everyone else looks at things from the same emotional point of view

I think it's insane to not expect something new and not insane at all to expect NRS to do some legit marketing for this game and maintain momentum. There is no reason to allow disappointment and releasing stale info at Gamescon would be disappointing. A reveal at an international forum should be similar to Raiden's reveal, a surprise and 100% fresh.

Personally, I'd be excited to see a reveal trailor for Shinnok to get an idea where NRS is taking him with character design and how his variations will be implemented. I'm all about nostalgia with this series, but I could personally do without Sonya, Johnny, and Liu as playables. Shinnok on the other hand hasn't been seen since Armageddon which was not a proper revamp after his only appearance in MK4.

I expect a demo Version with the current 8 fighters and maybe a Video with gameplay. And a hint for a new reveal of an MK4-MKD character.

How can you possibly call Raiden a hero, when he made such a mess?

I'm calling Shinnok.

Yeah, because heroes can't always fail.

I had this sneaking suspicion that the video was leaked rather than revealed. It just doesn't make sense to me why NRS would let someone else drop the new information rather than them. I would think they could benefit from the attention.

Boon's reaction on twitter was normal. Just the basic "glad you like what you saw!" kind of deal but I could imagine behind the scenes it was more like "WTF"

Just seems odd that a full scale reveal would come 3 days prior to a massive gaming convention that NRS is going to.

It really leaves me at a loss for whether this means we will get a new reveal at gamescom or if that was a leaked video of what was supposed to be revealed. I am leaning towards the latter.

Raiden God of Thunder Protector of Earthrealm. I'm pretty sure that is his offical title. He will always be a hero to me a flawed one. because everyone falls every now and again.


Shinnok would be a great contrast reveal to Raiden.

Raiden saved Earthrealm in its entirety, though there were some sacrifices along the way before it happened. However, saving a whole world and billions of people, that's pretty heroic.

A hero isn't flawless.

Sounds good

I'm just now starting to get excited about MKX again, I do not need a guest character ruining that excitement right now. I know it's coming but I don't wanna know who they are until at least most of the other characters are revealed.

I'm not expecting anything more for GamesCom, other than more footage of Raiden and Kano.

I've swallowed the lump in my throat that is Sonya, Johnny and Kang. If they're in, *sigh*. Fine. MK1 reunion ftw. I know it won't hinder my enjoyment of the game.

Just go ahead and give them to me at Gamescom so I can look forward to someone else.

I just have no idea why the guest character can't be DLC instead of starting roster.

what the next event where they can show more mortal kombat x reveals and stuff

gamescom

Well when Boon has mentioned the possibility of a guest character he would allude to Freddy and Scorpion being the best selling DLC characters of their respective games, so that might mean they'll have the guest be DLC.

It only makes sense as that's the best way from forcing people who do not want the guest- not to be forced to have them.

I'm sincerely hoping that's the case.

Good point.

Plus, they can make a buck on it so to speak.

i mean after gamescom becuase gamescom is happing right now

Oh, then I dunno.

Indeed. I agree.
