What Mortal Kombat 9 Could Have Looked Like
NetherRealm Studios had hired Vincent Proce to come up with concept art for an upcoming MK game. He created intricate backstories for the characters he drew, influenced by “modern multiplayer and dismemberment game design”.
“Scorpion as a wraith wearing the yellow blood of the demon that helped him resurrect to exact his revenge against his mortal enemy.”
“Raiden as a god whose feet rarely touch the ground.”
“Sonya, the daughter of a Texas Ranger whose sex appeal weakens her opponents while her Special Forces training kicks their asses.”
“Kano, half Japanese half US military bad ass.”
“Here is Sub Zero how I envision him. I haven’t worked out much of his back story other than that he was a part of the Way of the Frost Dragon, an honorable secret society of warriors that were direct enemies with the ninja organization Scorpion was a part of before he was killed by Shang Tsung (disguised as Sub Zero).”
Though he departed from the studio, he was commissioned for art to be contributed to the actual MK9 that came about. You can find his character designs for MK9 here and also see which ideas he came about by himself and which were brought about by the studio.
Batman: Arkham City GotY’s Box Art Is Atrocious, But Packed With Value
The image above is what happens when you try to pack too many good reviews onto the cover of your box art of a game that might be too highly recommended. Especially when one of the quotes is from a magazine that no longer exists.
The Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition includes the Catwoman, Nightwing, and Robin DLC; the Arkham City skin and challenge map pack; a download voucher for the animated feature Batman: Year One; and the Harley Quinn’s Revenge content.
You’re going to get a lot of bang for your buck, but if they don’t change the look of that atrocious art (is the game called Batman: Arkham City or “10 OUT OF 10”?) then maybe it’s not worth it.
The GotY is due late May.
Mortal Kombat to release as new Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition
The BBFC has rated Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition and, sort of accidentally, released a little early that it will be coming out. There had been no real news of this development until this announcement.
Warner Bros. has since said the Komplete edition will come with all the extra characters (from Skarlet to Kreuger) along with all the bonus skins and fatalies from the extra DLC as well. Since Mortal Kombat still sells at stores like Gamestop for a full $59.99, though, it begs the question of how much will they charge for the Komplete Edition?
Batman Inc. Skin to come to Batman: Arkham City
The Arkham City skin pack bundled with all the different Batman skins will be released as DLC on December 6, but there is another secret that Warner Bros. hasn’t quite given up publicly yet.
Not included in the DLC pack is another Batman skin straight from the Batman Inc. series. It hasn’t been said which Batsuit design from the series is the specific one to be released, but expect it to be awesome.
