I want this game OUT NOW!

Fantastic! 

I'd take Kenshi over Stryker any day.
 
Great news all around!

Most exciting news from this was the actual possible inclusion of Stryker.

And the 360 version will get ... Spawn? :D

No one is mor real than David Jaffe?

Oh great, Jeff decries guest characters in Soulcalibur but the same fucking character makes a guest appearance in his beloved Mortal Kombat and all of a sudden it's the best idea ever.
 
I know I'm bitter, but god fucking dammit I hate Jeff's bias against Soulcalibur, and his MK fanboyism is making me less and less interested in getting the new game. I'm gonna throw my copy of Deadly Alliance in the fucking bin.

Kratos was already in Soul Calibur for PSP, so rehashing a Spartan wouldn't be farfetched.  I think a Gears character or the Arbiter might be more likely, though.

A fuckality he must have. :)

I couldn't care less about Kratos in this game.  MK does need some Stryker though.  When does this game come out, I really want to play it already.

Ew, no. This isn't some hack IP like Soul Caliber, have some standards. 
Also, seeing you love on Kratos and hate on Quan in the same article with pics side by side kind of shows you're being arbitrary as fuck as far as what's cool and what isn't. Fockle fatfuck.

No one's more authentic then David Jaffe.

Hell yes!  Human Smoke returns!  Also, boo Quan Chi.

@Jeff: I would argue that Kratos was originally fashioned after Quan Chi and Quan Chi is now looking more like Kratos in God of War 3. 

Jaffe is the fucking man.

@jakob187: The introduction of Quan Chi is where it all started going sideways. You could pretty much sub in any other character that was introduced around the Mortal Kombat Mythologies/Mortal Kombat 4 timeframe, but Quan Chi is the one that stuck around in the rest of the games.

If you are asking for exclusives to the 360, how about the dark prince from Fable?

Marcus Fenix could make an appearance in the xbox version, he's m rated, chainsaw fatalities?

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES THIS IS MY LAST RESORT "

Playstation gets Kratos, Nintendo gets Link, Xbox gets Yoda, PC gets Freeman.

" @Jeff: Full of zingers today, huh??? 
 
ANyways. I stopped caring about MK after the third game. Pretty much after that every MK game was just a downhill slide then hitting the wall with Shaolin Monks. "

Stryker? I'll bite. I don't like quan chi myself. Just looks dumb and i'd rather fight shang tsung who could just turn into the guy if he wanted to, not like he would. Because Shang has SOME dignity. 
 
This also gets me wondering if they will put in some kind of 360 specific character, and what would it be.  Marcus Fenix maybe?

Wait, what do you mean you don't know what XBox exclusive character could fit?  How about Marcus FUCKING Fenix?  Any number of the executions could make a great fatality (chainsaw, curb stomp....)

 Dude Kratos would have a FUCKALITY and fuck the SHIT out of Sonya AND Katana at the same motherfucking TIME!!!! :)   

My interest in this game has increased slightly. But still not too interested. 

Man, this new MK is shaping up to become pretty good, I think I'll actually get it and possibly enjoy it. A first for me and an MK game for a looooooong time.

Does anybody care to explain why Kratos has black-girl-pursed lips in that picture? It's creepy.

Did you even read the fucking story? Sheesh. "

I'm guessing that Spawn will be the 360 exclusive character.

That Jaffe quote alone is worth having the extra character. 

I can see Kratos in MK, he certainly has the personality for it, and if it gets a few more people to buy the game then that's a good thing.
 
What if they made Stryker into Solid Snake, or Rayden into Raiden?

I cannot wait for this game... seriously... i don't think i've been this excited to play a fighting game since MK2.

I was mad hyped for this game, but the announcement of Quan Chi and the inclusion of Kratos has me a bit skeptical. While I may not like the Kratos decision, it makes sense. More sense than the Soul Calibur guest characters. They gotta make their coin somehow, im sure they were cut a fat check to throw Kratos in, so good for the MK guys.

I didn't care about the 3D stuff, since I neither have a PS3 or an expensive 3D TV. 
But knowing I won't be able to play as Kratos kind of bums me out.

That "fucktality" comment would grate on my nerves as some bullshit XTREEEEEEME comment were David Jaffe not such a bad mama jama. Fuck on, sir. Fuck on.

Gay he doesn't belong I knew they find some way to fuck this awesome game up probably WB idea.They like to ruin popular franchises takes fear 2 for instance that game is water down garbage compared to the first one.
