One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).
We all know Kratos gets to be for the PS3, but who do you want for the Xbox? Ed Boon never said never on the interview with Jeff, so hopefully we'll see someone exclusive too.
A friend of mine and I were having this exact same conversation yesterday. We came to the conclusion that the 360 exclusive character would either be: Master Chief, Marcus Fenix.. ..or Peter Molyneux. I am hoping for the latter.
idk, so many store exclusives and day 1 dlc that you have to pay for but is already on the disc is turning me off to this. also, all the separate store preorder bonuses is lame too. i will be renting this for two weeks to protest ponying up the coin to buy it. i don't buy games that do this and soon they all will and i won't game anymore. i will take up hiking, canoeing, biking, or i will just turn into a collar popping d-bag at the club with a bottle full of bub.

you seem to be making a big stink about nothing. EVERYTHING (costumes, fatalities etc.) are unlockable/on disc. those "codes" are for early access to said things without unlocking them through game means.
@heatDrive88: The only good thing I could see is one of Master Cheif's fatality, a few punches to the face slap a plasma grenade to his face and then a quick kick in the stomach.And bloody chunks splatter the screen.That's all I got.
One of the Gears of War guys. Even though Master Chief is in an M-rated game he isn't quite violent enough. On the other hand Marcus and the gang chainsaw their enemies in half.
Personally I don't think the 360 is getting a character. Sony has obviously shelled out some money for favorable additions like the currently exclusive demo.
I doubt the Xbox360 is going to get an exclusive character, but it would be cool to see Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden (show those other ninjas who is the real deal), or maybe for laughs they could put in Chuck from Dead Rising 2, he would have some good fatalities.
I can't think of any characters from 360 games that would fit. I also don't see the 360 getting a character, either. Not at launch, at least.
I'm not sure MS has a character they'd be comfortable with getting mutilated, similar to how car companies didn't allow damaged models for their licensed vehicles in most racing games I've ever played.
I Picture a Flood from Halo as a good Xbox representative. It's a disgusting creature with endless possibilities for fatalities. You also have the Elite's, maybe a brute?
Now, if we were getting an exclusive charcter, I would say Banjo and Kazooie(it would be MK's version of the Ice Climbers!) or that big lizard from the early Xbox title Brute Force...lol
" About region restrictions, from Ed Boon's Twitter:
Contrary 2 some claims, we're not restricting MK online play within regions. Someone in Florida will be able to play someone in California
"
Probably for the best, but it wouldn't have been a big deal, and it would have probably been regions like North America, not the PNW and the East coast and shit like that. Works fine for SC2 @RobotHamster said:
" They don't have anyone that'll work for this I think. "
The crazy warrior guy from Gears 2, Baird, maybe the Arbiter, Robert Downy Junior guy from Black Ops, MOTHER FUCKING PRICE, (I know they aren't MS exclusive, but they mind as well be), something Ninja Guiden related?
Just to give off some other Xbox-only (in some cases) faces...
- Alan Wake (Alan Wake) - Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell) - Frank West (Dead Rising) - Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark Zero)
Don't really think any of them would actually work, though. Maybe Sam Fisher? Lots of potential fatality options, mark and execute move... maybe a "last-known-position" style teleport. Although the HD trilogy just came out for the PS3. Kratos for the PS3 does seem perfect whereas none of these really fit. I think someone from Gears would be the best bet, if anyone. But I don't see it happening or they'd have announced it.
If they someone slipped in a character from Killer Instinct I would lose my mind. Too bad I'm sure that whole property is tied up in legal hell with Nintendo.

I'm pretty sure Rare owns it. And that would be awesome to add a KI character.
