TQcast writes: We recently sat down with Hiphopgamer aka 240hz on the latest TQcast LIVE show to talk about Kratos coming to Mortal Kombat 9. While we knew that Hiphopgamer had been reporting this rumor since August, we were surprised to find out during our interview, that Hiphopgamer was actually the mastermind who pitched the idea to the developers and the only reason why Kratos, is coming to Mortal Kombat 9.
GB: "More than perhaps any other genre, fighting games offer the kind of mechanical depth that you can lose yourself in for years. Learning the ins and outs, learning and perfecting combos, and so many other things that make this one of the most competitive genres in gaming, even on a professional level now. But you don’t have to be playing against another human to be challenged in a fighting game. Throughout the years, this genre has thrown multiple final bosses at us that have got us all collectively pulling our hair out. In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen such fights."
Isshin the sword Saint was the hardest boss I ever beat. And I've been playing games for 30 years
I went through the clickfest, it's shameful; more than usual that is, lower than gamingbolt standards, Congrats GB you've reached a new low.
CG writes: Despite Ed Boon going on record suggesting he would have rather toned down the “mature” looks of the ladies in Mortal Kombat 9 (ignoring the extreme violence) how well do the designs stack up over the years? We take a look at select Mortal Kombat female characters and compare them from Mortal Kombat 9 in 2011 through to the latest Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019. It’s rather interesting to not only see the graphical differences, but also how the design changed from porn star looking fighters to more realistic characters.
Mortal Kombat was always over the top, with the violence and character design. It seems dumb to suddenly become a puritan regarding boobs, but then remain just as silly with the violence and fatalities.
Well, the game was never about the bewbs, unlike DOA, for example, so... Is this really an issue either way? Plus, the females looked transgender in M9. :S
Imo the fatalities seem like "silly" and just more brutal and graphic than ever to the point where it's near cringe inducing in a good way.
Could it just be different artist and tech? I think with MK9 they had the characters looking over the top cartoony to downright ugly, due to the limitations of the 360 and PS3 at the time, then with X you could see they were moving to a more realistic design, and now with 11 it seems that goal of realistic design has been reached now that they've seem to have perfected the facial technology with Injustice 2.
I think the costume designs for the majority of the characters are pretty realistic within context, while still making them look unique and cool.
Sonya had more abs and broader shoulders than the guys at my gym in MK9. It was really not that sexy.
In MKX Kitana and Mileena looked really good. Probably the best they've ever looked, concerning their defaults. In MK11, Kitana and Skarlet look clownish. Jade looks ok but nowhere near as good as Kitana and Mileena from MKX. None of these look realistic in any sense of the word, though Kitana's MKX outfit got pretty close to somewhat realistic. I just want an option to make Kitana look cool again. She was my main in MKX but I can't stand the way she looks in this one.
they could still have realism and show some skin where it made sense. Looks like they just covered up all the women and not the men.
The character designs of mk11 are the best in the series so far, the 2011 designs look ahemm...not very feminine to be honest
While Mortal Kombat XI features a great variety of new characters, we decided to pick cosplay based on the series’ classic fighters that have been present in the franchise for years
Respect galore for hiphopgamer because he made this possible. Goes to show that he's very relevant in the gaming community as a journalist.
See What I always said? While you lames in here hating on him. He's out there actually interacting with the Devs and making an impact which made this possible.
be greatful.
http://www.trmk.org/news/13...
not trying to diss him or anything, but i might be wrong wasn't MK revealed at E3? And then Jaffe comments saying that Ed told him at E3?
If that's the case then saying HHG made it possible is off, considering you have the GOW creator saying that MK creator Ed boon told him at E3 about Kratos possible being in the game.
Now i don't want to sound like a jerk or a hater or what ever, but if that was the case, it seems like HHG is trying to claim it for himself saying it was because of him, when in fact it was already talked about before him. And he stated it would be cool when he went to interview the GOW devs.
@Disagree's
explanation please?
The way i saw it go down was that HHG already knew it was gonna happen, He just hinted at it.
Like the guy says about the shenmu 3 rumor about HHg saying it and then a bunch of stuff popping up, but he says that they did it before he did. So the guy was saying HHG was pigging backing off their idea because he went into a defence saying that they said it first before HHG.
240Hz is Glassless 3D!!!!
Not really
He said "it would be cool to have kratos in MK9"
Kratos is in MK9, but it doesnt mean its because of HHG
