Asuming that these voices are playable characters. That puts the playable cast at the least, a roster of 18. There is a "male 13" and a "female 5". I woulda also immagine that there are more that were not thrown on the list that they found voices for already.

So i think its pretty accurate to guess the roster to be similar to that of Deception. About 20+

"Eventually his kombat skill is increased when his arms are replaced with super-powerful cybernetic prosthetics."

So this is like MK Begins?

Looks to be just a background on the character to give the actor/ess a mental depiction of the characater they are portraying and see if they to themselves, fit the part.

"built like a linebacker" and "cybornetic prosthetics" would entitle great strength, a rather deep-ended voice and a badass attitude. This would prevent actors such as Chris Tucker trying to play Jax.

Same with Kitana, no actress would need to know shes 10,000 years old. I think its becomes a view of how wise a woman she should be. Strong spoken and wise like Talisa Soto portrayed her. Great job on her part at least in MK1. "The Element which brings life" clearly is a more wise phrase than "water".

Regardless, all the backgrounds and character evolutions seem to focus on actions between MK1 and MK3. With the Tekunin, Cyrax's notice of Lin Kuei actions.

Gonna be great when we finally find out.

characters confirmed
Scorpion
Sub Zero
these two are definetly in the game ed boon said in an interview he would never imagine a game without scorpion and sub zero.

Sonya
Kitana
these are not properly confirmed yet but a very strong possibility

Its is going to have ONLINE play.As said on wikipedia there was ed boon playing a game called mortal kombat 9 probably testing online play.check that old photo ages ago.

the rating there aiming for is Mature but there thinking of maybe getting it to teen if they can and it did also say that in this game they may go TOO FAR and may be given a Adult rating

The name of the title will most likely change like the previous titles

the game is on Xbox 360 and PS3 :)

they are using the same engine Unreal Engine 3 like u said

i know they said it said they planning to release it on Decemeber 2010 but i also heard which is crazy that they are going to release this game christmas day

this game will have nothing to do with mk vs dc it will carry on from mk7(mortal kombat armaggedon)

i think thats it cant wait for the news to start coming in

A game that goes back and expands on MK 1, 2 and 3 would be great

Boons Twitter, a while ago read "Wish there was a rating between M and AO". Clearly means its overly violent. MK9 was never gonna be rated T. hahaha

I am pretty sure Sony doesnt even allow AO games on their system, Manhunt2 ran into alot of bs with that and the Wii.

I think this is the 4th time this link has been brought up in this thread.

Every description in that list is for an MK3 character. With that in mind, it was announced last year that the Shaolin Monks sequel (based on MK3) was canceled, announced some time after this list was released.

Guys, is this really rocket science?
EDIT: Also, I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud. I wouldn't even mind an MK3 remake because it would guarantee Smoke's presence. At least logically it would. If they made an MK3 remake without Smoke, I'd have to find the stupid programmers, break into their stupid homes, and punch them in their stupid faces.
I understand that it says MK9 at the top of the list, but given the age of this document (and that the next game is technically MK8), and that there are multiple descriptions of MK3 characters... I just don't see it.

It is known that MK9 has been in development since before MKDC and the project came up and they did it. With the creation of this document, perhaps it was at a point before MKDC where they planned on returning to MK9 afterwards and decided to get everything set up for when they were done with MKDC.

And then the bankrupt incident happened. Delaying the games development. The fact tehy were already doing Fatalities and Motion Kapture Means they were done with character selection and general plot outline and were now moulding the Fatalities to the characters. This game has been on a steamrole for a while behind the scenes. The contributing factor being the title was "Fire and Ice" being about scorpion and Subzero. Not jus tthe MK3 era. Kung Lao is listed as the hero and Liu Kang is not even on the list in which MK3 was a great time for him. No way Kung Lao is listed as "hero" in MKSM2:FI

I still believe this to be MK9. I could be wrong and you have all the freedom to say "I told you so" if I am wrong. I am still pretty confident.

Im going to have a punt, I think this game will be a complete and utter retooling of MK.
This will be mk1 with rewritten storylines and complete redesigned characters and move sets.
I think some characters will stay faithful to how they originally looked some will be brand new and some will be totally different.
For example imagine how crazy it would be if they turned baraka into a werewolf instead of blades he has claws.
Thats how shocking I think things will be. Expect the unexpected. 3D?????????

Baraka a werewolf?Shocking indeed, but I don't think they will go that far...

I do think there will be a 3d mode aswell, I just got batman goty edition and the 3d effect in it is pretty impressive that trioviz thing really does work.

How about no.

All im saying is expect the unexpected.

I can handle the unexpected, but not to that extreme where characters are not themselves anymore.

lol would you go somewhere with that BS! Mortal Teen Kombat is soooo 2008.

They tried the TEEN thing with the movies..."Family-friendly-fun" Mortal Kombat didn't work out so well... Plus keep in mind that when a bloodless MK1 was released for SNES back in 1992, they later found that it wasn't such a great idea as they lost big time sales against the "blood-coded" Genesis version. This is why MK2 and 3 went full-on blood for SNES. I doubt that anyone will settle for less than an M rating when it comes to MK.

without proof you can't claim fact.... put up or shut up.

This should be the most violent MK to date

Really? Can you give any examples? I hope it's realistic. Since that's pretty much the only way they can make this entry more brutal, than any previous ones.

Exactly, more gore isn't the issue with MK, it already had too much. It needs a "realistic" and serious tone, look and feel. With that..you don't need to rip your components guts out.

the gore adds to the term brutal...other elements are missing from the meaning though such as...this definition http://www.yourdictionary.com/brutal

what do you mean?

I never said gore or bloody.

I said violent.
