, posted Sat 11 Sep 07:38
Again, this may be old news to people who like MK, but it's looking so good I couldn't resist posting some more info here...
MK: Deception has currently 24 characters, being 12 regular and 12 hidden characters. However, it seems that Ed Boon also announced some more characters, the "super unlockables". They may not have a story or endings, but there will be more than 24. People are trying to guess who will they be. Some possibilities: Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Sonya Blade, Kitana, Cyrax, Reptile, Sektor, Sareena... Of course not all of these people will be the super unlockables, it's just a guess.
Anyway, so far, the returning characters from previous MK games are: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden (who looks quite different), Li Mei (looks much better than in DA), Bo' Rai Cho, Kenshi, Baraka, Mileena, Nightwolf, Kabal, Ermac, Sindel, Jade, Tanya (also looking much better) and two slots that I'll put as spoilers.
The new characters so far are: Ashrah (former Quan Chi's servant, she's trying to purify herself by killing demons with a mystical weapon, so that she can run away from Netherrealm), Hotaru (a hero from Orderrealm, he's not evil but he's helping the Dragon King because he'll bring order to the realms once he conquers them), Kobra (a new Black Dragon member, he looks like a fusion between Johnny Cage and Sonya), Kira (other Black Dragon newcomer, also looks like Sonya), Dairou (a samurai, not much was revealed about him yet), Darrius (a guy from Chaosrealm, he's Hotaru's enemy), Havik (Darrius's partner, it seems) and an old man named Shujinko (he's the hero in Konquest mode, where you control him since his youth until his current age; plus, he seems to have the key to destroy the Dragon King; could this be the first time an old man is the main character from a MK game??).
Also, the intro video was partially revealed, and it may be shocking:
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
OK, remember how in DA, Liu Kang was killed? The same thing happens now, except that this time, almost ALL the heroes die: Johnny Cage, Kitana, Sonya, Jax, Kung Lao... at least Kitana is confirmed as dead by the Deadly Alliance. Raiden challenges them and beats them until Shang attacks him with a fire snake, defeating Raiden. Shang and quan then decide to break the alliance and fight each other, with Quan winning.
But then, someone appears: Onaga, the Dragon King!! Some tarkatans (Baraka's race) are with him. Desperate, Quan, Shang and Raiden join forces to destroy him, but their attacks don't even harm him. Raiden then uses something called "ethereal blast", vaporizing everything (maybe even himself and the Deadly Alliance) to destroy Onaga... but the Dragon King still stands!!
Shujinko, who's the narrator so far, then reveals that Onaga deceived him and now he's back to life. Shujinko then decides to find the Dragon King and destroy him in a final battle. (also, it's revealed that Kitana is revived as one of Onaga's bodyguards; it's uncertain what happened with the other heroes)
End of Spoiler
Also, Onaga is revealed as the final boss (obvious!). However, two other surprises await us:
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
1) One of the returning characters is no other than... LIU KANG!!! Could Earthrealm's main hero be now on Onaga's side? How could he come back to life??
2) Breaking the MK tradition of having a huge monster as a sub-boss, now this task belongs to a tag-team of Noob Saibot and Smoke (it's still uncertain how Smoke joined Noob). Nevertheless, they are reported to be as deadly as Goro, Kintaro or Moloch!
End of Spoiler
Well, this looks very promising! I wonder if it will be as good as Ed Boon is leading us to believe it will be...
I can be any person in the world ... maybe I'm this person right in front of you ... or maybe I'm not !!

Wow, this game does sound to be more interesting. I used to me a huge MK fan, from MK1 to UMK3. MK4 was a major letdown for me (and many others). I don't own, but have played, MK:DA and it was more fun than MK4, but still didn't feel like they had regained the great touch from MK2 (I believe the best in the series).
However, this post along w/ the "Icons" special on Mortal Kombat (on G4TechTV) and the other previews I've seen make this game sound really interesting and fun. All the special modes (conquest, chess, etc.) look to add some extra value as well.
I know MK gets knocked for shallow gameplay and gimmicks, but nostalga <sp?> might win out for me on this one. Thanks!

What?? I always thought it meant the same in english, because "Decepcion" it also means disapointment in spanish!
What does mean Deception then?
My dictionnary says "tromperie, duperie, fraude, supercherie".
And I don't feel like looking for a more precise definition, but the idea of "tromperie" for a game is still fun. "MK Cheatery"...
If you feel cheated when you buy a MK game, you either are an idiot or bought a good game made by mistake. But you are a not very bright person either way.
Hey guys, you are not going to believe this.It appears that Game Informer has got the world exclusive review of Mortal Kombat:Deception, and just as I hoped, IT IS THE GREATEST TAISEN KAKUTOU GAME EVER!!!BAR NONE!!!

Well, that's a classic. It's what, at least in my English classes, was called a "False Friend": an English word that's very similiar to another in Spanish or Catalan (in my case), but that doesn't mean the same. And many times I've almost written (and probably finally written it more than once) "deception" to mean "disappointment".
It's what happens always with "actually". In many cases, even sometimes professional translators, when they see one of those automatically translate it to "actualmente" (the apparent literal translation for "actually"). But "actualmente" in Spanish doesn't mean "in fact", or "the truth is", it means "nowadays", so the phrase ends up not having much sense or sounding stupid.
The same with "actual". The phrase "the actual <thing> is" would probably be translated as "the recent <thing> is", "the present <thing> is" or similar.
Oboromaru. Yup seems they're all "one-eyed" masked guys now. Just coincidence.

Same in french...
It's really easy to make such error with english it seems. It can be funny sometimes, for exemple a gift in english is an other word for present, but in German gift, means poison...
A friend is someone who truly knows you..
But who loves you anyway...
