Mortal Kombat team discusses their plans post-Mortal Kombat development to include more spin-off games similar to Shaolin Monks while Warner Bros might start making Mortal Combat cartoons or at least comics. Unlikely the old Midway team will work on older Midway arcade titles that are not Mortal Kombat.

Steam sale on games ends up saving a small developer company from bankruptcy. Valve accepted the request by Introversion to hold a big promotion for the company's games with the end result of enough income was generated to save the company for the time being.

I hate it when game series are split up on platforms like that. If you're really into the series and the next game is on a console you don't have (especially a downgrade like that), it's a reall kick in the junk. I can understand a PS2 series being continued on the PS3 (God of War), but why do this? It's the same thing with Phantasy Star Universe on ps3 and 360 being followed upon the psp with Portable1 and 2.

They really need to give up on the MK cartoons. Every one of them was horrendous.

Also, Smelly Meatball, could you separate these out to separate posts, if it's not too much trouble?

Emperor Smeat 08-24-2010 06:10 PM

Nah it wouldn't be too much trouble to separate the news.

I figured it would be easier to read and follow if I grouped the news that didn't already have threads into a single post instead of having 5-6 separate posts in a single thread.

Funky Fly 08-24-2010 06:12 PM

Easier to read definitely. Replying means making sure to word things so they don't sound like I'm talking about one thing when I mean the other.

Fignuts 08-24-2010 06:56 PM

Yeah, stop being difficult.

Boomer 08-25-2010 09:49 AM

I bought that Introversion pack. Awesome. Haven't gotten to it yet, just like every other fucking game I've bought in the past 3 months.

Ermaximus 08-25-2010 09:57 AM

Does anyone know what's in the Tron: Evolution Collector's Edition? It's $129.99, but I can't find the contents anywhere online and Gamestop doesn't even know yet and that hardly ever happens.

Emperor Smeat 08-25-2010 08:26 PM

Valve adding the Holy Hand Grenade to Team Fortress 2 in celebration of Worms Reloaded being available for sale. Unfortunately no killer rabbits will be available nor does the grenade do much since its more for show than massive explosions.

Got any further insight into it?

This will be of particular interest if you spent time, err, investigating Morrigan during the main quest.

As BioWare puts it dramatically, "Her plans and her whereabouts have remained a mystery... until now."

Well, until September 7, when you'll download Witch Hunt for $7 (or 560 MS/BioWare points) on PC, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. The content will allow you to create a new, high-powered character or import your hero from Dragon Age: Origins and the Awakening expansion. "But whether you seek answers, revenge, or reconciliation with your lost love," BioWare warns, "you may find more than you bargained for."

That's always nice when it comes to DLC, isn't it
?

For those who like robot boobies, SEGA giving away a free boob code as a pre-order gift for their upcoming game called Cyber Troopers Virtual-On: Force. The code allows customizable boob sizes for the main characters in the game.

Game is supposed to come out this December in Japan for the Xbox 360.

Wow.

Funky Fly 08-26-2010 04:03 AM

Don't forget shit like the sixxaxis control of tits in Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Japs love their digititties.

D Mac 08-26-2010 04:55 AM

My brand new PS3 Slim has been shipped! WOOOOOOOO

Funky Fly 08-26-2010 05:13 AM

What happen with your old PS3?

D Mac 08-26-2010 05:17 AM

Yellow light of death. 150 bucks got me a new slim from Sony.

D Mac 08-26-2010 05:18 AM

Lost all my saved games tho.

Funky Fly 08-26-2010 05:19 AM

You couldn't keep your old HDD?

D Mac 08-26-2010 05:21 AM

Yeah but every time you put a HDD into another PS3 it formats it. There are no workarounds for this.

Funky Fly 08-26-2010 05:27 AM

Gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

D Mac 08-26-2010 05:29 AM

You can back up your shit to an external but only from the working PS3. If it suddenly crashes like mine did you're screwed.

Funky Fly 08-26-2010 05:41 AM

Fuckity fuck. :n:

When my original 360 red ringed, I kept the hdd and everything is still there. The only issue is that all DLC and arcade titles I had on the old system don't work unless I'm signed in to Live. Then again, I'm signed in 99% of the time I'm using my 360, so no big there.

D Mac 08-26-2010 05:43 AM

You can transfer your DLC licenses to the new 360. But you can do this only once a year.

Funky Fly 08-26-2010 05:56 AM

Oh, "per year"? Gonna transfer all that shit right now then. Thought it was once period.

Wait what? wtf is megaman online, and why havn't I heard anything about it? Better fucking not be a jap only thing.

Drakul 08-26-2010 09:28 AM

I think it's Korea online, isn't it? Like the WWE online game.

I'd rather hear more about Megaman Universe.

Capcom going all out with a Vegas feel for the collector's edition of Dead Rising 2 for $89.99.

It won't be like most collector's editions where there are as many copies as the regular edition but a real limited edition similar to Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Must be the European version of the Collector's Edition as the American one looks like this. That or it's an exclusive version or something.
