Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

**D Mac** · 01-21-2006, 03:14 AM

Stole this from Rajah....

I just saw this in my new issue of Game Informer. It looks immense as it will have every MK character ever in the game (the official roster was around 60 it said) .

There were a couple of characters I never remember seeing before in a MK game before one being Blaze or something like that looks like it was supposed to be some kind of fire monster or something.

Also, the air attacks are coming back like they were in the 2D games which is cool I guess.

Anyway it's supposed to be the last MK game of this generation and is set to be released this October on both X-Box and PS2.

Sounds interesting.

**D Mac** · 01-21-2006, 03:18 AM

Just read at Gamepro.com that it will have CUSTOM FATALITIES!

**Drakul** · 01-21-2006, 03:19 AM

Custom Fatalities? How would that work?

**D Mac** · 01-21-2006, 03:23 AM

Don't know yet, but it sounds sweeeeet.

**D Mac** · 01-21-2006, 03:23 AM

Hopefully they will have Create a Fighter. Like in Soul Calibur 3.

**Drakul** · 01-21-2006, 03:37 AM

Create a Fighter and Custom Fatalities would guarantee me buying it.

**Drakul** · 01-21-2006, 03:39 AM

60 playable characters in a fighting game? Unheard of. But according to the latest issue of Game Informer, Midway plans to exit the current generation stage on a high note. Mortal Kombat Armageddon will feature "all the characters from Mortal Kombat fighting history," with the possible exception of Motaro. And if that's not enough, players can tinker with the new Create a Kombatant mode.

In addition, Armageddon will feature a revamped fatality system, mid-air combos, direction-controlled throws, and a Konquest mode based on the Shaolin Monks engine. Armageddon strikes in October for the PS2 and Xbox.

Well, I wanted MK:deception but never got round to it so this will be all the better when I get Armageddon.

Online might be fun with all the "Kreated Kombatants" and Custom Fatalities could be fun

**D Mac** · 01-21-2006, 04:02 AM

Who's that chick in the bottom right picture fighting (what looks to be) Cyrax? Is she wearing only her underwear?

**Drakul** · 01-21-2006, 04:04 AM

A created character?

**D Mac** · 01-21-2006, 04:09 AM

Might be that or Kira from Deception.

**Drakul** · 01-21-2006, 04:09 AM

Which I never played so I wouldn't know -_-

**D Mac** · 01-21-2006, 04:11 AM

I'm sure you could find it used and cheap somewhere.

and looks fucking awesome!

**McDoogle** · 01-21-2006, 04:37 PM

Whats the difference between Kintaro, Garo and that bitch with the four arms?

**Destor** · 01-21-2006, 04:50 PM

Their names.

**Destor** · 01-21-2006, 04:50 PM

and one is a girl.

Goro was the sub boss in MK 1. He is the prince of his race (the name escapes me.

Kintaro was the sub boss of MK 2. He had tiger stripes on his back for some reason and was basically a bigger badder version of Goro.

Sheeva was working for Shao Khan in MK 3. Shee hated Motaro because their races are natural enemies (cat and dog style).

**Funky Fly** · 01-21-2006, 05:04 PM

Thiis is fucking sweet, btw.

I know that..what I mean is how the hell are they going to make them different in the game?

The same way they made Scorpion, Sub Zero, Reptile, Ermac, Smoke, Noob Saibot, and Rain different?

Sheeva had a somewhat different style.

Goro had a new moveset in Deception. He could use that, while they give Kintaro something different. Or they could pair them up Noob/Smoke style.

**Vietnamese Crippler** · 01-21-2006, 10:31 PM

Damn, triple team? That would be cool

**Cool King** · 01-21-2006, 10:50 PM

I'm not looking forward to this MK. I think that the 3D MK's are to repetitive. In Deadly Aliance all you had to do to win was 3 punches in a row, use your weapon, do 3 more punches and then use your weapon.

It sucked even more when whoever you were playing against was Sektor or Cyrax. All they would do was use the weapon where a rocket or a circular saw would come out their chest, all through the fight. The CPU even did it.

I'm just gonna stick to the classics.

**D Mac** · 01-21-2006, 11:38 PM

For all you PSP owners. I just seen that Midway Arcade Treasures came out for PSP and it has MK 1, 2 and 3 in it.

**What Would Kevin Do?** · 01-22-2006, 07:37 AM

So here's the question. Will Smoke and Cyborg smoke be different characters?

How about Liu Kang and Zombie Liu Kang?

And can we please get a morphing Shang Tsung? (Do it like Trilogy for ps, and and have it where you pick a couple people before the fight so there's no load.)

ANd bring back old looking SHANG. In fact, bring back all of his looks.

And keep Harikiris, because you know Striker's will be pimp.

**Boondock Saint** · 01-22-2006, 07:51 PM

Sounds pretty cool. Don't recognize a lot of those names though.

HEh

Noob better be stand alone damnit.

And I think there should be an original sub zero and the "unmasked" brother. I don't care if they play the same, I just want the costume.
