I'm still on the fence about the casting...I mean, I imagined a more baby faced (literally) than someone rugged like Urban but I get wanting a big"ish" name. They kinda had to go that route after the ending of the first movie.

WBDiscovery or whatever has Gunn on staff. Should have just had him do a Suicide Squad 2.0 and retcon the Arcana bullshit. Make a movie that isn't just pre tournament. bam. fixed

I hear if you lock yourself in a bathroom with the lights off and say the 'a' word in front of the mirror 5 times, Destor appears in the reflection looking pissed.

I'm guessing that the woman in between Karl and Jessica over on the right is supposed to be playing Kitana? Looks the part, although they really should've shown commitment by casting a real 10,000 year-old Edenian...or AJ Lee.
Looking at the cast list, Sub-Zero is apparently going to be back as Noob Saibot. OK, that's fine I suppose, as returning as an undead spectre thing explains his presence...of course, this does nothing to help explain his 400 year lifespan in the previous movie, but, hey, we got Kano doing the eye laser and Kung Lao is actually a character and throws his hat, so it's perfectly fine.

If they absolutely had to cast Urban, I imagine they're going with the direction of Cage being a washed up, past his prime actor and participating in this circus is his shot at redeeming himself or whatever. Of course, then it's not really Johnny Cage.

lol people got the switch version early again. Reiko (which was pretty much confirmed by Boon) Nitara are part of the base roster. There's a greyed out one from the screenshots that could very well be Kronika on release day or some shit. eeee

Forgive my reluctance, but I'm having a hard time believing someone like Megan Fox has ever picked up a controller for anything.

So is the appeal here supposed to be the ability to play as Van Damme or the ability to beat the snot out of Van Damme and rip his spine out?

Ugh, age-restricted video. It's the trailer for Jean-Claude Van Damme's appearance in the game.

It's a nod to to the series history. The very first mortal kombat was supposed to have jean claude van damm as the star character. But the deal fell through and johnny cage was created to replace him.

Yeah, it was literally planned to be Van Damm - The Game
He was a coked out fiend in the awful SF movie but.....I still want to see the day he beats the living fuck out of that bitch Steven Seagal. |

Well, it can't go any worse than Van Damme's last foray into a fighting game.

Yeah, it was funny that he was in a game that copy catted the very game that his agents probably denied.
MK reddit people are bitching that his face is all wrong. I see it but it's not enough for me to really care. Damme's nose isn't that small!!!!!!!!! |

Im pretty excited for this game, but i always play the mortal kombat games to completion.
I played the stress test. The graphics are great, but it is waaaay different than playing MK11. I really got good at MK11, and the button configuration for amplifying specials, and the fact that its now the same as the block button as well as needing to amplify it as you throw the special gave me a bunch of hiccups while playing. The kameo system was decent, but there is so much anticipation when trying to incorporate them, that they almost never hit when i wanted them to and usually just ate hits so my main didnt. The gameplay was super fast in some aspects and slow in others. I noticed that crouching and poking at the opponent had very slow recovery, but anything in the air is split second on reaction. To follow up a launcher with an air combo, you pretty much need to be jumping before the launcher hits. Just growing pains to get used to as I am so used to MK11 mechanics that are almost opposite. |

I agree with all your points.
It'll be finding that Kameo and main combo that'll be interesting. That was non existent in the few rosters given to us in the stress tests. |

I knew it sounded a bit off, but I wasn't too concerned. He still comes across as delightfully evil.

For those interested, the game won't support cross-play at launch but it is something being planned as a post-launch update for it at some point in the future.
