Re: Mortal Kombat - Mortal Kombat DLC characters revealed

I wonder how the reaction to this DLC will go down.

Re: Mortal Kombat

DLC announced before a game releases kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but so many companies do it anymore that it's hard to specifically be mad at Netherrealm for doing what everybody else does. Hopefully the price point is reasonable.

Once I get the game I think I'll download Kenshi and, assuming they do add him, Kintaro.

Nothing wrong with announcing dlc before a game hits IMO. It is optional. Not mandatory. And obviously just because they announce it, doesn't mean the items are completed. Things take time to develop, and are works in progress. They are just keeping people in the know.

What difference announcing it now or after? Not like the game-plan was any different. This game is still well loaded with characters and modes.

My problem with announcing DLC beforehand is that it gives the impression that the developers are deliberately withholding content to get more money out of a game beyond the $60 release.

Put the content in the game in the first place or announce it after the game comes out.

This isn't a shot at Netherrealm specifically, however, because with the exception of Gearbox this is more and more becoming an industry standard.

Re: Mortal Kombat

We knew that this would eventually happen when MSFT first started the DLC model with the 360.

But we can't just always assume they are deliberately holding stuff back. Because things still take time to develop. Thus those DLC items would probably not make it in the game anyhow. So why not try and make more money, especially in the "used game" era.

Just my opinion on it. I think people over react with it all. And mostly is, "The Man is out to get us" syndrome they seem to have. Now pricing on DLC on the other hand, I will debate that some is way too expensive all day long. *cough* Activision Map Packs *cough*

Yeah, saw that last night. Plus there is supposed to be Kintaro, Scarlet (Lady in Red, basically female Emac glitch), and Kenshi for DLC. All with their own x-ray moves and content.

Good stuff.

Re: Mortal Kombat

For being a ps3 screenshot where's Kratos? Unlockable maybe?

Re: Mortal Kombat

I also think Kratos will have a magic bar to limit all his attacks.

Re: Mortal Kombat

Nice list! I really wish this was coming out earlier. I'm getting tired of the demo and want to retail version now!!!

Hahaha, I loved that fatality.

No, he's a human again.
