What's that Ed Boon? No disk locked content? First he says bosses wont be playable. Then he says they might be after the games been out a while. Then he says the game has no disk locked content when clearly lady in red and Kenshi are already in the game. (along with other combatants such as Frost, Sereena and Tonya.)

rezzah4738d ago

Those last three you mentioned are really in the game!?

Thats awesome, thought Id only see them in the map BG.

Is rain going to be in game too? I think I saw him during Story mode.

CrimsonEngage4738d ago

Well Kenshi and Lady in Red are already confirmed to be DLC.

rezzah4738d ago

well im sure everyone already knew that part.

Im more interested in the others.

Winter47th4738d ago

Hell at least the characters will have a proper ending, a # of Fatalities, awesome X-Rays and extras. I'm down with that.

TheDeadMetalhead4738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

Well they would obviously have to have the characters on the disc, since they still appear as bosses, and they would need to have movesets and everything.

As for those other characters, well...

Joni-Ice4738d ago

Mark my words, Hackers WILL ruin gaming.

jwk944738d ago

This type of hacking i approve of because it's exposing devs for the liars they are.

AzaziL4737d ago

day one dlc created the hack, thank the publishers for thinking it was a great idea to have to purchase the game from six stores to have all the secret characters.

bebojet4737d ago

Just wait till PSN is back online.

Trebius4738d ago

Very sad the route game developers are taking to make an extra few bucks ... just makes me want to pirate their game.

Giru0174738d ago

Yeah, Lady in Red's MODEL is in the game (and can be seen in story mode), just like you can see Hotaru and Kenshi's model at the start of story mode, but none of them have any intros, voices, portraits, moves, special/enhanced moves, x-rays, fatalities, babalitlies or endings... Hardly sounds like DISC LOCKED CONTENT to me if the content isn't there...

As for the bosses, we'll have to wait and see, hopefully they'll release them with tweaked/re-worked moves so we can use them in a non-overpowered way

QQ

who actually cares about playing a sluggish, repetitive character such as goro or shao kahn? Sure it may be fun once, but after that its just lame.

Get over yourself.

Furthermore, Goro and Kintaro are only slightly different than each other, and both just overpowered versions of sheeva. NRS said that they never want to have copy/paste characters in the roster, so you can really only complain about them not putting shao kahn in the list.

Vherostar4737d ago

But hackers only exist on PS3 right? As that's all fanboys on here been saying lately the PS3 security is garbage so only ps3 can be hacked so this MUST be fake right?? See the 360 is more open than any other console but the differnce here is MS allow this thats why hackers don't attack XBOX live its sick. Hackers will keep getting paid content free while honest people will pay through there noses devs are only to blame for charging for this content at the end of the day and people like MS for allowing these hacks in the first place.

woow I wish I could play as those characters.

Majors4738d ago

Another missuse of the word 'HACK' is this the word of the decade that has to be used in EVERY article? This was simply an input code just like many other older types they used for consoles to unlock extra characters, weapons, levels etc etc Nothing more.

Jezuz4738d ago

uh, you need to d/l something to get the hack to work. Did you even read properly?

FragMnTagM4738d ago

Reading will do ya good. You have to have a JTAG system in order for this to work.

Hopefully they do not charge to use those characters seeing as how it is possible to do so with a hacked system.

But seeing as how they charge ten dollars to play online if you buy the game second hand or rent it, then that is most likely going to be the case.

PAY US FOR STUFF ALREADY ON THE DISC!!

Great game and all, but this kind of crap seriously needs to stop devs.

jwk944738d ago

That $10 is included in the $60 price tag so stop whining.

FragMnTagM4738d ago

I SAID SECOND HAND, OR RENTED. I know it comes with the brand new game, geez.

warrior99884738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

i saw fujin & shinok

rezzah4738d ago

Lol even though you're obviously lieing it'd be cool to see them again.

Some of Kung Lao's moves makes me think of Fujin.

warrior99884738d ago

you fool i really saw them

rezzah4738d ago

Mybad, thought you meant as playable characters.

My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.

Relientk77162d ago

That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories

Terry_B162d ago

Deception, MK2, MK9, MKX ..rest.

Kakashi Hatake162d ago

MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.

Tankbusta40162d ago

1 and 2 were cultural phenomenon's.

specialguest161d ago

I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
