Finish Him! Mortal Kombat 11 Reveal

Okay, so I'm writing this shortly after the reveal, but the livestream is still going on, so there might be some stuff I don't know about.

The reveal was... AWESOME. I had goosebumps, I was shaking and I had tears of joy all at the same time. I love this series and have been playing since MKII. Since I got to know this series with the second entry, I already got a bigger selection of characters, than the people playing since the first game. This also means that I got to choose my favorite character from a bigger roster. And of course it had to be Baraka! I still know all of his moves by heart (back, back, back, low punch being my most loved). And that finisher. OH. MY. GOD. Ripping of a guys (or girls) face. Then his skull. Then... yummy!

The return of Skarlet is great. Her moves were pretty fun and maybe the bloodiest of them all.

Geras, the "new guy" looks to me like a cross between Tremor and Jax, maybe with some Egyptian style mixed in. No? Well, let's see how it works out. Maybe he's related to Tremor?

And who was that time manipulating chick in the prologue? Is she another god? Is she playable?

The roster seems a bit small compared to Mortal Kombat X(L) (33 characters total) with only 25 slots on the character selection screen. Hopefully there will be more added later. But I liked the character kustomization with the different kostumes and weapons to chose from. It'll be a blast to "design" my very own Baraka.

Ronda Rousey as the voice of Sonya Blade is a nice surprise, though I don't really care about who voices the characters as long as they sound right.

A little note about the music: please loose that dubstep/rap shit! It doesn't fit the game.


Finally, the Kollector's Edition: unfortunately I have to say this was a bit of a letdown. The mask might be cool for some, but I don't really care for it. I was hoping for a figure (maybe not Scorpion, because he's fucking everywhere) or some other gimmick. Anybody up for a Kard Game? I think that would be a great addition to the Kollector's Edition.

Finally again: just a quick list of things that would be great if they were included:
  • Konquest Mode or The Krypt
  • Babality and/or Animality (those Brutalities looked great!)
  • NO microtransactions PLEASE
  • Konsole-specific characters: Kratos on PS4 and Marcus Fenix on Xbox
  • Klassic characters: Kitana, Mileena, Scorpion (with klassic skin), Smoke, ...
  • Klassic levels: The Pit II, The Pit II and The Pit II (it needs to be back)
You're next!

Making a game for the PlayStation 2

Actually, not really for the PS2 - not natively at least. Rather making a game for YaBasic which can be played on the PS2. I started my geek life when I was 11 years old and got my first computer (486). A few years later I found some games written in QBasic on a gaming magazine's CD. That was the first time I came in contact with programming. I didn't understand much back then, because I wasn't taught before and I didn't speak any English (it's my 3rd language...) so I was just trying to figure out how the games worked by modifying stuff. These games were simple text adventures, where you had to make choices and the game would progress that way. There were no commands like "go left" or "pick up". The game presented you all the options and you had to input the number of the option you chose. And instead of "if-else" there were GOTOs everywhere. This was how I made my first game, a multiple-choice quiz with 10 questions. Since I didn...

Copyright needs to die

In latest gaming news: Mafia was released on GOG! Yay! That's great news, because it means that you can get the game DRM-free and guaranteed to work with your Win7 or Win10 installation! (And it's a real classic.) But wait! What's that? You're sitting in a car. Waiting for that famous tune everybody associates with Mafia . You don't know the title or the artist, but you immediately know that song. It plays on the radio. At least: it used to play on the radio. It's silent now. The radio is broken. No sound. Enjoy the view while driving... The game released on GOG all right. Unfortunately due to copywrong it was released without it's original soundtrack. No licensed music. No Django Reinhardt playing Belleville (that's the song you were looking for ;)). All this because copyshit still "protects" music (more like "extorts" people) after over 75 years! Yes, Belleville was first released in 1942. I mean I would get it if co...

Nintendo: Hey, listen!

This is a plea for Nintendo, I hope that somebody there will read it. A few days ago you announced the next "Mini" console in your attempt to make even more money of some 25+ year old games, released for the hundredth time. Please. Stop. Or at the very least change your business practices. I hope that I speak for a majority in the gaming community, when I say that we've just about had enough of yet another Nintendo console (or accessory...) which won't be available at launch because you simply can't (or won't?) make enough. We've had enough of the scalpers who pre-order all stock before we even get a chance to look the device up. Enough of the scalpers who then continue to sell those consoles on eBay for double or triple the price. Isn't it bad for your business? Let's talk about a hypothetical scenario: you could sell 1 million of the SNES Mini. But you produce only 500k. That makes 500k of your potential fans/customers angry, because...
