Click the link to find that you know all there is to know so far.
Oh, the characters will come in pairs, on from each.

Elven65597d ago

Not really, Ed Boon revealed more in the interview then was previously known regarding the DLC, all we knew about it before was it was coming, nothing more was official.

"Click the link to find that you know all there is to know so far."

Which was pretty much squat before you clicked. Funny thing, huh?

thats_just_prime5597d ago

I'm really starting to hate DLC. I find my waiting to buy gamers more and more cause half the time the DLC is added in for free when the price drops

thenickel5597d ago

Just send me some Kung Lao or Ashtra love and I'm happy.

The comic book that came with the limited edition SKU of the game reveals during the merging various characters were wiped out of existence, off the top of my head Johnny Cage is one of them. Since even the Arcade mode takes place during the merger characters deemed "gone" during the non canon merge will not be around.

They should add Doomsday vs Goro and Green Arrow vs Reptile

Killzonegamer835597d ago

This game owns so hard and it is very underrated.. I bought it the day it came out and i still play it a lot, its great online.. I want Johnny Cage and Reptile

Elven65597d ago

Johnny Cage isn't possible, read my above comment since I don't want to fill this section with spoilers,

Cernex5597d ago

If the comic on the special edition release is considered canon, I don't think Cage is going to appear anytime soon since he pretty much ceased to exist. Of course, if John Tobias is given the chance to handle the writing, perhaps he Cage could return.

Elven65597d ago

The comic is only Canon for the MK vs DC Universe storyline, the game
itself is NOT canon in ANY of the two universes.

Although the ending definitely makes room for a sequel if one was in the process I think.

loki525597d ago

Is anyone else sick of paying for content that you know wasn't an after thought. That its apparent that they knew about characters or weapons or levels the whole time and just left it out so they could charge money later. Isn't $60 enough for a complete game?

Cheeseknight285597d ago

Well I'm not going to buy this one until it his $25 or $30 so I wouldn't really mind coughing up a few bones for good characters.

johnyv19815597d ago

how patching this turd of a game first, i've never see so many exploits in a fighting game before. i have almost 3000 matches won and the only time i lose especially lately is from people using the superman infinite ground pound!!! or the flash infinite

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

TheProfessional1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

rlow11d 5h ago

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill1d 2h ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb1d 2h ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast6d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk6d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast6d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk6d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac6d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk6d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
