[h1]Steve Beran talks making the characters the stars and putting the emotion in to MKX[/h1]
Fighting games aren’t kid stuff where Mortal Kombat is concerned. Notice how each iteration of the game has gotten more pumped up than the one before? We have, which is why we asked Steve Beran, Director of Art, NetherRealm Studios, for details about the upcoming Mortal Kombat X — so we can get ready.
Man Cave Daily: How did you get involved in MKX?
Steve Beran: I started at Midway in ’91 when Mortal Kombat was first being tested in the arcade. I was lucky enough to join in on MK3 with 10 guys, and now in Mortal Kombat X, there’s 170 staff working on the game. The game’s not just a simple “two guys facing off and fighting each other to result in a fatality” — there’s much more to it than that. Even back in the “old school” days, there were load screens that told a story and gave out endings – that’s the only method we had at the time. Now we’re emphasizing the epic, cinematic story — MK9 in 2011 had an elaborate story mode retelling the game’s history and it was well received — it was a two-hour movie within the game.
People get really wrapped up in the characters; in a way it’s very much like an ongoing soap opera that people get addicted to. We had big success with Injustice, and we’ll continue that with Mortal Kombat X with an even more elaborate story mode.
MCD: What about the characters?
SB: We’re introducing a ton of new characters. At the end of the last game, we killed off about half of the roster, so it’s a good way to breathe new life, literally, into the franchise. That doesn’t mean we won’t have returning favorites though.
MCD: And the game mechanics ?
SB: This game rethinks how the fighting goes: Once you select a character, you can choose from three different variations. So picking Scorpion, for example, you’ll have his traditional moves that fans know and would want to use, but every character will also have three different traits, which makes for a different form of strategy. You’ll have a weapons based system and it all will look very different — for example, being engulfed by fire or launching fire or summoning demons from hell; depending upon what your style is — whether more defensive than offensive. This all totally switches up the game and affect how you play. Tournament fighters are going to find this very, very interesting.
MCD: Is this the most violent game ever? What could be more violent than ripping someone’s spine out?
SB: Beautiful brutality, is how I like to say it. I’m the director of art so while new-gen tech is more realistic, at the same time I like to think of it as an art form, because when you actually looks at the moves and the skin being peeled back and the musculature revealed along with the vascular systems and the skeleton, it’s actually a cool mix of art and over the top despite the gore. And people end up laughing at what happened.
MCD: Is the level of violence so over-the-top that it becomes a parody?
SB: Your character gets up as fast as he gets knocked down, so even with what looks realistic, the action is still fantasy based – more lighthearted than real.
MCD: Which do you see as being more popular — first-person shooters or third-person fighting games?
SB: We are more popular as we’re making the player into a superhero, doing moves that you can’t really do.
MCD: How do you grab the player’s attention right away?
SB: First and foremost, our characters are the stars. New-gen tech can do close to limitless polygons, and we want the player to be impressed with the characters. They’re pretty big, and so we try to inject personalities from the intro scene down to the animation. When you start the fight, the characters engage in a dialog that’s much more emotion based. Every character has custom lines for interacting with other characters, which pulls players in more of a cinematic experience as we get more involved/comfortable with using film-based cameras within the game. Tech lets us make the gameplay look like a movie, and there’s no reason not to do that.
MCD: This has got to look good on a big screen HDTV
.
SB: I grew up playing games on a 19″ crappy TV, and now have three TVs and a 70″ monitor that I play on every day. It definitely changes the experience. And when you add in the level of sound quality that we can get today, it totally engulfs you. Yes, it’s a 2D view, but there’s so much going on in the game in the background that it pulls you in. It’s a monumental experience, and one that pulls you in much more so than any movie possibly can.

[h1]MKX at PSX- BruskPoet's Interview With Shaun Himmerick[/h1]
A friend of The Kombat Tether's, BruskPoet, had the chance to interview Netherrealm Studios' Executive Producer Shaun Himmerick at The Playstation Experience this past weekend. Below are transcribed notes from the audio BurskPoet collected from his interview detailing more about NRS' newest game Mortal Kombat X!
- We will learn more of the games story in January/February.
- There will be no 'day' or 'night' version of stages in MKX, but some stages will feature a 'dynamic weather system' that will change as the match progresses.
- The character select screen is not final, the final roster count depends on how much they can 'jam in' before release.
- Shaun placed further emphasis on Quan Chi's resurrection abilities in the past and stated again that MKX will have 'revenants' of some of those who fell in MK9.
- Every stage will have some form of environmental interaction.
- The game is to be submitted next month for the final stage of development.
- A lot of characters are 'finished' back at NetherRealm Studios.
- When asked about unlockable characters, Shaun stated he couldn't answer that question.
- There will not be 'Babalities' in Mortal Kombat X as they do not fit this new style of Mortal Kombat.
- It is very probable that we will see Fatalities in the story mode.
- There will be some form of 'King Of The Hill' in online play.
- Goro is Shaun's favourite character in the game at this point, he will get a reveal trailer eventually.

[h1]No Platform-Exclusive Characters Planned for Mortal Kombat X[/h1]
Yes, you've read the title correctly. Unlike with Mortal Kombat 9 where Kratos was accessible only to those with a Playstation 3, NRS executive producer Shaun Himmerick informs Hardcore Gamer that console-exclusive fighters are not planned for Mortal Kombat X. This undoubtedly contradicts reports that may have surfaced across the Internet, but if somebody from the NRS team is outright saying that it's not in the plans, you can bet that it's the god-honest truth.
"We have no platform-exclusive characters planned for Mortal Kombat X," Himmerick says to Hardcore Gamer, who are reaching out to Netherrealm Studios for further comment.
You can check out their brief interview at this page.

[h1]Kung Lao Photos + Full Information from Finnish Gaming Magazine "Pelaaja"[/h1]
Mortal Kombat X was featured prominently in the 1/2015 issue of the Finnish gaming magazine "Pelaaja". Inside we got to see a few photos of Kung Lao as well as some new information. Below I have translated some of the information I picked out of the article.
"Unfortunately we couldn't get to play the story mode yet at the studio visit, but the game's story jumps 25 or so years into the future from where MK9 ended. From what we've seen and heard the ruler of the Outworld is now Kotal Khan and Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade have a daughter called Cassie. Even Scorpion has a new Sub Zero to face off against. The biggest question mark right now must be Kung Lao, who has proudly aged and seems to have escaped the last game's ending."
"Good old hat-thrower is how ever fully playable with the rest of the released characters and according to Ed Boon is one of the most diverse fighters in the game. Like the other characters he has three different playable variations, each one bringing new tricks into the gameplay."
"The differences between Kung Lao's Tempest-, Buzz Saw- and Hat Trick -variations happen to be the biggest ones yet. With Tempest Kung Lao uses more spinning attacks and has the ability to set his hat to spin around him as a shield of sorts. In his Buzz Saw variation his hat is sharpened with razor blade edges and allows the player to control his hat throws more. Hat Trick is the most experimental of the three, because you can throw and call back your hat at any point you want. This keeps the opponent on their toes, because the hat can extend combos."
"If bugs or glitches would appear in Mortal Kombat X, it has the same automatic update system from Injustice that allows for hotfixes."
"Ed Boon guarantees, that the online features are much more complex this time around. For example when you start the game you get to choose your own alliance from five different options: Lin Kuei, White Lotus, Brotherhood of Shadows, Special Force and Black Dragon. Basically each team gathers so called "battle points" for their team, which decides how the game's menus look both in single and multiplayer. This way each player contributes to the entirety whether or not you prefer the social aspects or playing by yourself."
"Even more diverse content is promised, for the challenge tower is making it's return. This time around the towers and their challenges change constantly, even by the hour."
(The text under Kung Lao translates roughly to "The proudly aged hat thrower has returned to the Mortal Kombat cast. His three variations are described as some of the most diverse in the game.")

(looks like a new stage reveal as well.)
Mortal Kombat X was featured prominently in the 1/2015 issue of the Finnish gaming magazine "Pelaaja". Inside we got to see a few photos of Kung Lao as well as some new information. Below I have translated some of the information I picked out of the article.
"Unfortunately we couldn't get to play the story mode yet at the studio visit, but the game's story jumps 25 or so years into the future from where MK9 ended. From what we've seen and heard the ruler of the Outworld is now Kotal Khan and Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade have a daughter called Cassie. Even Scorpion has a new Sub Zero to face off against. The biggest question mark right now must be Kung Lao, who has proudly aged and seems to have escaped the last game's ending."
"Good old hat-thrower is how ever fully playable with the rest of the released characters and according to Ed Boon is one of the most diverse fighters in the game. Like the other characters he has three different playable variations, each one bringing new tricks into the gameplay."
"The differences between Kung Lao's Tempest-, Buzz Saw- and Hat Trick -variations happen to be the biggest ones yet. With Tempest Kung Lao uses more spinning attacks and has the ability to set his hat to spin around him as a shield of sorts. In his Buzz Saw variation his hat is sharpened with razor blade edges and allows the player to control his hat throws more. Hat Trick is the most experimental of the three, because you can throw and call back your hat at any point you want. This keeps the opponent on their toes, because the hat can extend combos."

I'm just glad that 2 out of 4 of my MK9 mains (Kung Lao and Sub-Zero) are back for MKX. All I need is for Smoke and Johnny Cage to make a comeback and I'm good.
