Theme: Whispers in the Forest
Oct 18, 2007 7:39am by Fuzz in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
There is currently a topic on the Midway forums titled "A direct question to Midway" where the author asks why it's taking so long to release bios for the kombatants in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. In the topic, forum moderator dv8withn8 states there will indeed be no more bios released."Unfortunately, there won't be anymore bios released for Armageddon."
When asked for a reason why, this was the response:
"I'd imagine the team is devoting all of their efforts into making MK8 the best it can be. Only a year remains before it's anticipated to be released!"
Could this be true? Has Midway finally officially abandoned Mortal Kombat: Armageddon to concentrate more on the next Mortal Kombat game for next-gen consoles? Hopefully, Midway will shed some light on this soon with a more formal announcement.

I don't visit Midway forums at all because it's a complete mess so I don't know if this dv8withn8 has any credibility. Is he an official Midway employee? If not, I don't see Midway announcing to a lowly forum moderator their plans concerning MK:A and MK:8.
However if this is true, it completely sucks. Effectively Midway is backing out on giving us a finite ending to the current MK saga. Without the bios, Midway has free reign over who they bring back, kill off, etc for whatever reason they see fit for the next MK game, the one after and so on. This is a complete cop out. I wouldn't be surprised if people stop buying MK if Midway continues to disrespect it's loyal, paying fans like this.

Frankly I'm not surprised. But they could've done more, or announce it sooner. There been Mortal Kombat fans since the begining, 92. And now they're turning away because Midway is not being fair, and right. Why for a few bucks?
And there's a high possiblity Midway is going to keep the popular characters not giving the chance to the characters who deserve to be in the game. The only people I see in the game so far is Sub Zero, Scorpion, Liu Kang, Raiden, and Shao Kahn. They're the only top 5 people they will keep for sure for MK8.
The story will be too complex, no one would understand. And frankly going to ignore MKA and pretend it never happened. I can see this folding into this bullshit. Frankly I don't see Midway trying their best to keep the fans decent satisfacted. Giving everyone happy about MKA and being a major disappoint. If Midway gives out another disappointment, there won't be much of a game left.

I find myself semi surprised, I was excited about having stories make sense, but they didn't even get to Noob Saibot, Subby or Scorpion. I guess we won't know what truly went through the minds of the creators when they created such foolish endings.

I can't blame him, they were drawn out and rather bad.
Better off dead I think, more manpower and story for MK8...

They were just so random, bizarre, and pathetic.
They honestly did destroy everything John Tobias ever worked hard to achieve...
Fuck you midway.

How ever, I thought they made Nitara a small margin better of a character story-wise.

Agree 100%.
They all felt like they were just slapped together by some intern, who just picked the first character he saw that day.

Hell I remember I was posting my own bios for MKA months before the game was release. And It was better shit than Midway could produce. I made twists, turns, flip overs, and they all seem to connect to a single thing...HELL.
