It needs to be Tremor, but it'll probably be either: Robo-Smoke, who was heavily hinted at before release; or Tanya who can be seen in Shao Kahn's Kolosseum when playing Test Your Luck.  Mind you, if you were going to include every character fighting in the backgrounds of MK9, you'd also include Frost, Reiko and I think the other one is Daegon?  There's also the guys who appear in some of the Ladder endings - Havik, Bo Rai Cho and Shujinko.  At least, I think Shujikno's in there somewhere...  Also, if you were going down the Evil Ryu route, Zombie Liu Kang would be the most likely added fighter - and he's shown lying dead with the other warriors at the start of MK9.
 
Anyhoo, I'd love to see Tremor.

Bit disappointed the DLC's not coming out every week like I'd heard, but whatever.  I thought Kenshi would've been faster than this, but he looks like fun regardless.
 
Anyone know what's happening with costumes for these DLC guys?  I heard Skarlett only has the one costume at this point.

Maybe I just don't get it, but it seems utterly stupid and/or lazy for any developer to put quick-time events in a game because all they have to do is make the cutscene they were going to make anyway and then put button prompts in when the character does something.  Honestly, I would rather just watch the cutscene.  Quick time events just get on my nerves.
 
One of the reasons I loved Ninja Gaiden 2 was because it let you play sections of the game that would've been cutscenes if it were Devil May Cry and QTE's if it were God of War.  Ninja Gaiden 2 was more of a 'game' than it was anything else, and I'm incredibly disappointed to hear that they're taking the sequel away from that concept.

I'm a little surprised that nothing's been done at this point and the game's nearly been out two months.
 
Every game I play has been laggy to the point of being simply unwinnable.  I can't time combos whatsoever because the lag affects my button presses.  If I get through someone's guard, my reactions don't even matter because whatever I press a button, the action happens 2 or 3 seconds after I've pressed it.
 
What's even worse is I feel like my singleplayer skills don't mean shit and there's no way I can prove otherwise.

" This is crazy talk. If there was any indication that they could have gotten any personal info/CC then they should have said something day one or day two. "
They claim that they released this info as soon as they found it - although, is it worse that they held on to this data for a week, or that it took Sony's entire network team a week to discover this in the first place?

Not like there's any good news at all, at this point.

If I may insult the game developers for a moment, this looks to be a combination of Monster Hunter, The Elder Scrolls and Legendary.

I'm not really digging the design for the dragon in the trailer, it doesn't really look particularly 'western' or 'eastern' - if you know what I mean - and doesn't look as badass as a dragon should, to me.

I'll have to keep my eye on this.  Ideally, a multiplayer beta will arise at some point.  I've been craving for a 360/Ps3 multiplayer Monster Hunter for a long time, and this looks like it could be what I'm looking for.

" A Permanent Injunction will require George Hotz to refrain from doing something, as ordered by the court.In some tech-related cases, it's not unusual to have an injunction that requires someone to refrain from using devices that use processors (computers).It's a fate worse than death, I'd say. "
So depending on whatever this permanent injunction is related to, it could simply destroy Hotz? "

"Geohot, a.k.a George Hotz has finally found some space to breathe. Both SONY and Hotz have come to an agreement on a settlement, with Hotz accepting a permanent injunction against his development activities on the PS3."


Doesn't sound that bad.

"
Wait, didn't all this start with Hotz' development activites on the PS3?  Didn't this court case serve as a philosophical battleground, rather than a legal one?  Wasn't this all about the nature of ownership?

Ah, forget it.

" @LobsterCrunk:  Also to go along with what Slaker117 just mentioned, I had seen another forum post regarding this issue on another site. It's possible that the PS3 version of MK is being supported this much because WB or NetherRealms have more faith in it in terms of its development. I mean...I have no reason to believe that the 360 version will be inferior in any way, but its possible that the PS3 version was further along in its development cycle. Which could be another reason why the PS3 version maybe optimized to handle additional character assets like Kratos in time for the major gaming conferences.

But hell, what do I know about video games? It's entirely possible that WB does have an ongoing title deal with Sony and in exchange gives exclusive content to the console at the expense of the 360 player base. However, if that were true then WB would probably have made MK a PS3 exclusive title and not multiplatform as the development costs for a multiplatform title would have probably exceeded the sales projections for the 360. But again....what do I know?
"

I'm happy to keep reading these great points you guys are giving.

I'd guess that, in the case of MK, multiplatform development wouldn't be that much of an issue because of the returns that both bases generate - MK will definetly sell over a million units on both platforms, so there's no reason not to provide 360 users with an extra incentive.  The PS3 version of MKvsDC outsold the 360, but not by an incredible amount, so that might have something to do with it: but I have to agree that the best bet is that WB and Sony have some kind of multi-game deal going on.  I guess we'll have a better idea of it depending on what happens with Arkham City.

Back to MK, the reason this exclusivity is happening is because Sony is being favoured for whatever reason - I just thought that this happened because of an auction behind the scenes.  I mean, if I were Netherrealm, I'd have approached both companies and said "Hey, I've got a deal for you.  You're both getting exclusive characters as DLC, but if you'd like to generate a fair bit of positive press, we can announce it before the launch and put it on the disc."

But, hey, whatever, that was before I knew Kratos to be the only exclusive.  On the bright side, for 360 players, this means that those retro fatalities will definetly be in the game, regardless of pre-order bonus.

Speaking of which, I thought I saw Shang Tsung's retro fatality in his trailer, anyone else care to weigh in on this?
