Support NeoGAF

[fernoca]

Not to mention that the DLC could even be priced at $1 (80 MSPoints) and people would complain anyway because it still costs something, and because of the way the console marketplace works, they'll need to add points/money to spend that $1 and they'll have money left after buying it.

Lets face it, the complaints in general are targeted at anything that has a price. As other developers has done, they could release things for free for months/years and the moment they charge for something, anything..it's seen as outrageous.

Sent out invites to those who asked to get in the chat. If anyone else wants in just send me a friend request so I can invite you, I'll be back on later.

psn id is Xevren11

What's the name of the chat, info, etc....to add it to the online-thread? Since I'm no longer on PS3, is good to see soemone giving some life to the online side of this game.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Does any one know if there will be Wednesday Night fights tonight? I usually get home from work and I'll check it out for a while..Thx

 

[ToyBroker]

So it's pretty much confirmed the patch turned the online to ass on PS3?

It's the chat you started. I've just been trying to get some people in it.

It can be, the past couple days has been pretty good though. Very little lag and very few desyncs. When you can connect to people it's great, but sometimes issues do popup.

 

[akilshohen]

They should release more than 1 character at a time, but whatever. I want to wait and see if a bundle comes out eventually

 

[Mileena]

GG I guess. I hate the disconnects in KotH especially

 

[alstein]

Right now I'd say the online is post-patch Tekken quality.

Good to know..thought it was dead.
Added you to the list in the community thread. XD

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Good news everyone...I think..

Skarlet and the other 3 upcoming DLC characters will be priced at: $4.99 (400 MSPoints) each.

Way better tthan the $7-$10 I was expecting, since the retro pack costs $5 too.

Adding the price to the main post now.

EDIT:
Europe/UK will be getting Skarlet and the retro-pack on June 22.

Pretty reasonable assuming each of them come with costume packs like this one.

This bullshit.

I found those relatively easy. Just spammed attacks and small combos.

The real bullshit starts after the 240s, when they start throwing endurance rounds with Shao Kahn and a few characters..an you have to use Shang Tsung..with one lifebar. XD

Good games last night guys, feel free to add me if you want PSN Str8upawesome. Btw whoever was Reptile vs my SubZero, I was sweating near the end of the match lol

Is Smoke OTG out? Because I just booted today and it's still there.

 

[Khezu]

It's supposed to be, the new ps3 only patch is the one that removed it.
Though, you can still OTG with the EX smoke bomb, it just knocks them back and doesn't juggle them anymore, but it does 10% unscaled damage, so if you want to waste a meter you can add 10% to any of your combos.

At least this is what I have read, I have an xbox so I can't test any of it yet.

 

[JRPereira]

Regarding disconnects, particularly in KOTH, you may want to try clearing any port forwarding/etc. in your router. I had some stuff from a while back that was set up for borderlands, minecraft, bnet, etc. which I no-longer use - after clearing it my connection issues have pretty much cleared up.

where did you read that? id like to know what else can do unscaled damages!

 

[Diablohead]

if a ex smoke can do 10% then that is really worth using if you land a good combo.

currently streaming Chris G. Vs. REO

I get a 503 service unavailable....

Nevermind it works...

 

[malfcn]

I like having some kind of buff to EX smoke ball. I was originally thinking EX smoke ball to juggle.

 

[BigFwoosh]

I had a 6 game win streak tonight. Those of you who have played against me will realize what an accomplishment this is :lol

 

[Khezu]

Think it was on paulo's twitter, one of the designer dudes.

Nice stream TYM guy, do you guys not have any mics for commentary?

Season pass for XBL announced:

http://www.trmk.org/news/22474/mortal_kombat_season_pass_for_xbox_360_announced.html

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios are excited to announce the Mortal Kombat Season Pass which will offer Mortal Kombat fans an added incentive to buy all four new Add-on warriors at one time for a reduced price instead of when purchasing them individually. The first Mortal Kombat downloadable warrior, Skarlet, will be available for download starting June 21st and will be followed by Kenshi, Rain, and an unannounced new entrant to the Mortal Kombat tournament! Each warrior will come with a full move set, a ladder arcade story ending and two fatalities.

Available for purchase starting June 21st, the Mortal Kombat Season Pass will allow users to buy all four downloadable warriors as a package for 1200 Microsoft points. Each individual warrior can be purchased when they release for 400 Microsoft points. Each warrior will become unlocked for download as they become available throughout the summer.

Further, in order to allow for seamless online play with the new downloadable warriors, free compatibility packs will be required to download with the release of each new warrior. As an added incentive, each compatibility pack will come with two FREE klassic skins – the first of which are being released with Skarlet will be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 inspired Cyrax and Sektor. Gamers who purchase the Mortal Kombat Season Pass (or individual Add-on content) will automatically get the free klassic skins when they download each warrior. Those who do not purchase the Mortal Kombat Season Pass or the Add-ons, will be able to download the compatibility packs for free and have access to the klassic skins as well.

Please note: The Mortal Kombat Season Pass is only available for purchase on Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE. PlayStation users will also have full access to the individual DLC warriors (for $4.99), the compatibility packs, and the FREE klassic skins.

 

[fernoca]

Yep, was about to post that. XD
In other words, Xbox 360 owners that buy the Season Pass will get a free character/download....in the long run.

It also confirms that each download/compatibility pack will include 2 retro skins:

Guess they mean two unannounced new entrants...

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot about Skarlet. I promise I know how to count.

Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain, and ??? makes four.

I'm bummed about no Frost, though.

Ugh. They don't look good.

 

[Khezu]

I dig em, much better then the classic male ninja outfits.

I just wish they gave smoke one.

 

[fernoca]

Well, they look..like their MK3-parts, not better neither worse.

 

[NeonZ]

It is kind of a waste that Smoke doesn't seem to be getting his own classic cyber ninja outfit. If Ermac, Smoke and Noob could get MK1 outfits (although only Ermac's is selectable), I don't see why Smoke couldn't get a classic Cyber one. We know nothing about any extra outfits, right? Right now we're missing MK1 Smoke & Noob, but that's it, so everything else will need to be new.

 

[Xevren]

I wish we got more outfits that weren't the klassic ones.

 

[Ribbon]

What happened to your ps3 fernoca? I was wondering why the person who started the thread hadn't been on psn to play mortal kombat for a few weeks

 

[SomeDude]

Is Mortal Kombat popular in europe? Was it ever?

 

[fernoca]

Auto-turned itself off....forever! (then got it to turn on, but wasn't displaying any image at least Sony was nice enough to deactivate all the PS3s linked to my account through an email, this is actually the 3rd one I lose) Didn't and don't have the money to fix it, so sold it along with the games, etc. And got aa nice amount of credit to buy stuff in the meantime.

I'll be getting the 360 version..soon. Apparently today (got it for $25-new). So, yay! to restarting the story mode and beat over 250 challenges again!..and unlock everything all over again. XD

Well, the recent game sold great apparently better than recent Capcom-fighters; but that aside there are no more details.

Robot Smoke needs to be his own dlc character based on his mk3 moves, not just a costume. Hopefully he will still come later on since he was my favorite in the old games.

 

[Deadstar]

Anyone know if they'll be announcing a season pass for ps3? I'd rather pay once and get a discount. Oh well, either way, I'll buy everything they put out. The game nights I have with three other friends are too much fun.

The press release makes it sound like there will be no season pass for the PS3. If there was going to be one, you would expect it to be available when Skarlet goes up.

 

[DasRaven]

The season pass seems to be the 360's "Kratos bonus.". A "free" character for those who buy the season pass.

Except their "free" character can be used in tournaments.

Might get the DLC for 360 and PS3 now. I was planning on get it for PS3 only before.

Seriously. Come on, Boon! Make it happen.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

So why can I play online when I haven't entered my online code yet?

Played many hours online, I hope the new patch won't fuck it up for me. Online works for me fine. Only thing that doesn't work is Sektor. Combos just don't work.
