“[Rambo] he really bookends that whole guest character roster”

[MEJBelloz]

Just been watching a video on WIRED with Ed talking about the Friendships in the game.

Interesting comment around 11:25 mark where he implies Rambo is the end of the 80s guest character phase, and implies Rambo bookends the whole guest character thing.

Wonder if this implies no more character DLC, or just that there are no more 80s guest stars to come.

I am amazed at how people are still taking this troll serious in anything.

 

[Apex Kano]

I hope so, I rather have a full inclusion of MK fighters only for a new DLC

 

[Nickolaidas]

And DVD said no more guests in kp3.

Fancy that.

 

[Morgan the pilgrim]

He also said that they wont repeat dlc characters , mileena wont be in mk11 and multitude of other things. Like do u rly wanna take his word as smtng for real ?

He never said that about dlc, and he said mileena isn't coming in mk11 in April Fools.

i hope we got Mad max or Snake plissken ? if is the end so no Ripley

I mean really all we can do is take his word and hope he's not fucking with us

Lol , yes he did . Now go and at least try to dig it up before u state contrary.

lol, no he didn't because, lol, he was referring to Rain, lol, becoming dlc again in MKX, lol, while he was already DLC in the previous MK game so his chances were slim.

lol

i mean ur prolly right but i would like an answer to why we havent seen a single repeated dlc character up untill ultimate with rain then ?

Because Boon was referring to side-by-side repeat of DLC, not DLC altogether.

Think about it: If there was no repeat DLC, this means that eventually there wouldn't be any DLC MK characters because everyone would have been DLC at least once.

He said this is the end of the 80s action guest cycle. I'll honestly be blown away if we do not get at least one guest in a KP.

And I would prefer a guest to Taven or Daegon tbh

Somewhere in the vid, he said Motaro had four arms like Kollector.
I think he had a stroke.

I think people are looking too much into this. He's just casually saying that it sort of completes this set of iconic 80's action heroes. That reveals a little bit about his view of this completing a DLC theme, but it's not like this is some coded statement that confirms or deconfirms anything beyond just him feeling that Rambo completes this theme.

People give Boon a lot of shit for being a troll or "lying" or whatever, but it's more that he's just a guy who's kind of fast and loose about how he talks about his games. Like, last time around he said something like "well, Rain was just DLC in MK9, so he's a little less likely to be a DLC choice", and people carved that into a stone tablet and turned it into "Rain will never be DLC again".

My take is, take a step back and think about this game as the money machine that it is for WB. Forgot about the subtleties of what Ed Boon is saying, forget about past patterns, forget about the roster size on the screen, if you want to know if more DLC is coming, look at the sales figures for the most recent edition of the game and judge the likelihood on that.

Or none of them would be great. They've had their guest character fun in this game, end if off with the classics now.

Hope we got Havik and Reiko and PLS ELDER GODs Chameleon or Reptile...

 

[Evil Canadian]

Its the end of Rambo being a guest character

Cause now hes main roster
and hes taking ermacs and reptiles spots in mk12

Makes sence, but its highly unlikely that franchise will last that long and they are adding new characters into franchise aswell ( at least 3 per game if not even more).
