Full Mortal Kombat roster revealed

A leaked image has revealed the full roster of playable characters in upcoming fighting game Mortal Kombat.

The image, below, which fansite Mortal Kombat United has claimed responsibility for, includes many yet to be officially revealed fighters and more than a few surprises.

Spoilers may follow.

The list of playable characters:

* Scorpion
* Liu Kang
* Kung Lao
* Sub-Zero
* Sindel
* Ermac
* Reptile
* Kitana
* Johnny Cage
* Jade
* Mileena
* Nightwolf
* Cyrax
* Noob Saibot
* Smoke
* Sektor
* Sonya
* Jax
* Kano
* Stryker
* Shang Tsung
* Baraka
* Kabal
* Raiden
* Extras/DLC - Sheeva - Quan Chi - Extras/DLC

The PlayStation 3 version includes exclusive playable character Kratos, from the God of War series. The image also shows an image of a character fans are calling Cyber Sub-Zero.

Meanwhile, two downloadable characters have been confirmed.

Scans of the May issue of US magazine Gamepro reveals the first two DLC characters, the Lady in Red (known as Scarlet by the Mortal Kombat community), and blind samurai Kenshi from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.

Four-armed monster Kintaro was also rumoured to be a DLC character, although developer NetherRealm Studios has denied this.

The emergence of the DLC characters ahead of the game's release sparked anger from some gamers, but in a tweet Mortal Kombat head honcho Ed Boon said, " DLC characters are NOT on the disc."

Quote from: GamerMan316 on March 28, 2011, 09:07:50 AM... blind samurai Kenshi from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.

That was my favorite character. None of my friends ever used him, so no one knew how to defend against him. Plus ... "blind samurai" ... what's not awesome about that?

They have my man Kabal, so I'm happy.

Rumour: Mortal Kombat to get online pass
Alleged leaked emails reveal strike against preowned sales

THQ is poised to plant another flying Bicycle kick square in the teeth of the second-hand games market, if anonymous "tipsters" are to be believed. According to a leaked internal email, the next Mortal Kombat will ship with a one-time-use passcode for online play.

If you don't have a code, you'll get a two-day free trial of the online modes before Warner Bros asks you to stump up 800 MSP. The publisher is said to have similar plans in mind for upcoming survival horror shooter F.E.A.R. 3.

Here's an excerpt from the email, published by Joystiq:

Mortal Kombat, available on April 19 for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, includes a one-time-use registration code that gives players access to all online modes in the game. Players who do not have a code will get a free two-day trial of the online play and then be able to purchase the online modes for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and $9.99 on the PlayStation Network.

While online passcodes are an increasingly familiar quantity, thanks to the firm endorsements of EA and THQ, Warner Bros' spin on things is a little more sinister. Joystiq claims no reference to the code will appear on the game's packaging, though retailers will be filled in on how and where to obtain a new one.

If true, the news is an unfortunate scratch in the polish of a rather promising-looking game. We've contacted Warner for comment. Mortal Kombat kung-fu kicks shelves on 19th April.

'Tis the future, sadly.

On the bright side, retail is going the way of the dodo. Digital distro is coming to consoles, and assuming they allow the same competition as the PC market has, that means huge deals. of course, that is a big assumption, considering Microsoft hasn't given up an inch of their deathgrip on Xbox digital distribution, which is why it costs $40 to download a two year old game off of the Xbox On Demand service. Still, PS3 is getting Steam, maybe that will force Microsoft to open up as well.

Unless this is the same song we all step-aerobic'd our butts off to in the 90's, then I can't bring myself to download it.

I actually own the album. I got it from a pawn shop while I was in college, and forced it upon everyone in my dorm.

It's worth mentioning that this new album is produced by JFK (of MSTRKRFT). It's surprisingly not bad.
