What's new

New MK leak sounds believable

Hara-Killer

Reverse Salt
NRS is getting senil ? WWE game ? PLS nooo , if it is like WWE Werestlemania then ok for mibole but make an Horror fighting game or DC vs Marvel in next gen
 
:rolleyes:

This is what I've had since Jan last year. Mileena and Shinnok were indeed scrapped. Everything else is legit.



If my leak was right, KP2 should be: Fujin, Sheeva, Cyborgs, and Ash.

I think Reiko and Sareena got scrapped but I'm not too sure of their inclusions.
So how do you know that Shinnok and Mileena got scrapped but not Reiko and Sareena? In my opinion they should both be in as DLC and were also in that one leak last year that got literally every other dlc character correct so far. Reiko was even in the background of that movie set poster so I’m still holding out hope but it’s dwindling. Let us know if you hear anything else about him and Sareena please if you can!

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
Don't want to derail this thread to dive into a discussion about the challenges of corporate software culture, but as someone who has worked for a FAANG company as a software developer for almost 6 years, working for a good team can make you feel really grateful, but working for a slave driving team completely takes the money and "cool" factor of the job out of the equation. I've worked for both types of teams. Until you've worked in an environment where you have been grinding out 12+ hour days and weekends in order to deliver a high-visibility product that directly impacts customers, it's very hard to understand how it feels to just not care anymore about the money you're making or the cool stuff you're building. It's just all about the minute-to-minute stress you're experiencing and how that defines and consumes what your life is. (To be clear, I'm not making a blanket statement about whether the big-ass FAANG company I work for is a good or bad place to work. It's just like any other software company that has good teams and bad teams to work for, I'm just drawing a parallel between a bad team and what is being described about working for the NRS MK team.)

I completely get the standpoint that there are people who are in a different/worse type of awful situation (can't pay their bills at all, or are working the same amount as what I described but are still not making good money), but it isn't as simple as being grateful or not grateful. Even high-income earners on neat projects are bound by the limitations of sanity and human psychology. They don't have to worry about money or how other people feel about their job, but that's just two stressors that they don't have to worry about in the short term. They still worry about losing their job for not working hard enough, disappointing millions of people who are using the thing they're sacrificing their sanity to build, dissolution of their families because they're never around, health concerns associated with the stress and long working hours, etc.

To un-derail this, the only way I think this is leak real is when all of that stuff gets confirmed during Final Kombat. It sounds like a grounded, realistic assessment of what could be going on behind the scenes, but anyone with familiarity about what it's like to work for a software company in the gaming industry could have written something like that.
I understand what you're saying, I haven't worked 12 hour shifts but I have worked for nearly that much by myself in extremely stressful retail settings where the store is huge and due to lazyness and mismanagement I've had to be in charge of literally the entire backhalf of a Target at times that includes cleaning up, zoning, putting stuff back on the shelves, helping customers, running to the back to get stuff for them, ringing people up, in charge of electronics, seasonal, sporting goods and toys....I mean hell even 2 people can't do all that when it's insanely busy, but even if it's dead to have 1 person do all that is ridiculous. And don't get me started on the holiday season...let's just say it was the worst job I've had or one of the worst easily and I've had quite a few jobs over the years dealing with the general public, retail, sales etc

Guess what I'm saying is this really applies to all lines of work and sometimes even higher pay isn't worth it. I was just saying that for a big company like NRS under WB, if those guys are making peanuts I'd be surprised but temps obviously different story, I'm referring more so to the regulars. Obviously like with any company, positions, experience always make a difference in pay. Whether the stress of the job is worth that pay is a different story lol.

I think honestly we all have problems, some as you said worse than others but I definitely have learned that during dire times it's better to be grateful if I have a job than not or have a few days a week. Not saying jobs like NRS aren't stressful, every job is or can be just about but that I mean hell compared to the stuff I've dealt with personally so far in my life with retail work, to see someone complain about "ohh great now we have to lie because of leaks etc, " I'm just saying if that's their worst thing they have to worry about hell, I'll take that gig any day over jobs like Target lol where they literally expect you to be the Flash all over the place doing several things at once in a certain period of time which only adds pressure. I know about the gig with gaming companies running people overtime, it definitely sucks however one thing I have read and from my own experiences with every job usually during interviews they make sure or ask if you're willing to go overtime. This is a pretty cut and dry question, hard to dance around. They either want to hear a yes or no. If yes, that means ok we can abuse this person they agreed. If they say no, interviews over or may have to negotiate which can be dangerous if a job opportunity is on the line. Guess what I'm saying is nobody should be a slave but if you agree to overtime, be prepared for it. One thing my father taught me working with the same company for 45 years a high security level company dealing with insurances all over the world including stuff from the government, feds, health, etc you name it they used to call him at 3AM once he got a PC with internet just to run a job....

To be honest I think it's amazing how he stayed with the same company for 45 years, a feat most of us wouldn't do or be able to. He had to do a different position because that one was stressing him out so much it was affecting his health and the doc said he had a mini stroke(forget the technical name) so yeah...once a job effects someone's well being it's bye bye, no exceptions. I'd rather deal with finding a new job even if it's temp than to stay with a company making me a slave, abusing me or working me overtime to the max and this goes for all lines of work. That all being said I'm just saying that if that's that dudes worst complaint about debunking leaks with fake lies that he should be grateful for it considering. Not saying people at NRS have no right to be made or complain, just saying that for people who complain about everything even trivial stuff there would be 100 people lined up to do what you're doing for various reasons yet don't have the job or will never get the chance. This especially applies to actors, singers etc with no to little talent but got in because their mommy or daddy were stars. Messed up? Sure. True none the less? Yes. Look how many people go to acting school, train hard only to audition and get rejected time and time again but these spoiled brats just get a gig because their mom was or dad was a Alec Baldwin or a Billy Ray Cyrus. Wrong but the truth but I digress here.

I pretty much agree with most of what you said, especially the health part. No job is worth your well being. All can be stressful or we all have some bad days but when it's consistent then there's a problem and time to move on you know?

Some of this leak sounds like it could be potentially true but we've seen plenty of these random users who claim to work for NRS before and winds up being bs. We've also seen some leaks be true as well so I guess time will tell.

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
Fujin is already konfirmed in my mind. I suppose Cyrax and Sektor are coming too, since there wouldn't be NPCs this time.

Sheeva is alright, I'm not really a fan. Havik is cool, but Hotaru will be missed.

I think WB cancelling stuff for the game (extra story mode chapters, new Krypt areas) is absolutely true.


edit:

Injustice 3!
Yeah, Injustice 3 you know they're going to keep doing as well I mean one it's one of DC's biggest, best games in the past 10 years easily and two it's following the MK path with each game outselling the previous one so you know this had to happen at some point. I just hope they put in The Spectre, Terry McGinnis Batman Beyond, Killer Shark, legit Reverse Flash not just his skin, Vibe, either Black Lightning or Static(either but both not needed) and the list goes on just so many characters to choose from in DCU

I think the roster of Injustice 2 was very bland. The first one was way better, it represented more of the DC universe. At least one hero and their main villain should be core characters: Batman/Joker, Superman/Luthor, Wonder Woman/Circe, Firestorm/Killer Frost, Nightwing/Deathstroke, Flash/Grodd, Shazam/Black Addam... and so on.

Yeah we know that Batman and Superman, WW will return. Probably Flash and GL as well. They're pretty much a lock between the movies and shows. They can put in another metahuman freezer there's Icicle he's a villain and Ice she's a hero. Wouldn't mind seeing Fire to replace Firestorm. Maybe huntress instead of Batgirl or Batwoman. Maybe Constantine. Also that chick in your avy is hot.

I forced myself to like DC so I could enjoy Injustice. No amount of MK love is going to get me to play a fucking WWE game as a grown ass man
WWE Immortals is actually pretty damn cool. Most of the characters are very well-imagined. I always hoped they would make a full-fledged console version.

If they release a PS5 version of MK11, they sure as shit better offer some sort of upgrade from the PS4 version, or a way to carry over your progress. Because there’s no way in hell I'm restarting from scratch to unlock everything. Give me a reason to upgrade, even if it’s just better graphics or something. Otherwise I’ll just continue playing my PS4 version on PS5.
 
I remember when this came out I saw Midway made it and was like "oh crap it's MK WWE!" but without the gore and fatalities lol I would go to my blockbuster video(I'm sure some here are like WTF is that?) lol but I'm sure some remember haha. Ran to my local BBV when new games and movies came out and it was always rented out. Played it later on at a friends house, fun stuff. I forgot how huge Yokozuna was. Dude was bigger than Bo Rai Cho and E.Honda combined lol
Ahh that days of blockbuster and getting movies/games home only to find out the previous person didn’t return it/put their mixtape in there instead.

R.I.P
 
Kp2 is cyborgs, fujin & sheeva, ash

So that means There's going to be kp3... start with that.

Save the best for last right?

Most likely its mileena , shinnok, smoke & 1 last guest
I hope you’re right but I’m still skeptical about Cyrax and Sektor. I wouldn’t mind them at all and you know they’d have the classic helmets! I wish that they would just cram everyone in there that they allegedly have been working on...Reiko, Sareena, Havik, Mileena, Shinnok etc! Especially since there may not be another mainline (or any) MK game for a longer time than the already long wait of 4 years

I wouldn't count on any character that was in MKX or anyone that has an assist in the character towers being added. NRS doesn't seem to make characters if they were in the base roster of the last game. For instance, MKX didn't have any MK9 characters DLC(not counting Triborg). Injustice 2 didn't have any IGAU characters DLC. For MK11's KP1, all three MK characters were ones that missed out on MKX. Fujin and Sheeva have been datamined and like Shang Tsung, Nightwolf and Sindel, they weren't playable in MKX nor do they have assists. So I think it's safe to say that this will apply to whatever other MK characters KP2 will have.

I doubt there will be a third KP.

So did Starfire in Injustice 2 have her assist removed before or after they announced her as DLC?
IIRC, hers was removed pretty early(which made sense since was in the first fighter pack). Havik also initially had an assist which was removed not long after MK11 launched. Which leads me to believe they're planning on having him be DLC.

lol remember the whole "please be kind and rewind"! haha. I miss BBV, we used to have 4 of them in my area which was a lot considering where I live. VHS's before DVD's and Blu Rays, and Laser Disc. I remember there was Blockbuster Video, Palmer Video and Hollywood video. Palmer video had a porn/xxx section lol. The others didn't but they did have international sections which had some xxx stuff in them. haha as a kid I knew the sections to go to.:D

I used to work at Hollywood Video and everyday we'd get people returning DVD cases and forgetting to put the discs inside. Hell one time someone returned a movie, but it had a video game disc inside instead of the movie. One of my co-workers had failed to notice that and checked it in.

We actually never did charge people for not rewinding VHS tapes like Blockbuster did.

What and who the hell is that? Looks like afro samurai had a baby with Smoke lol or some weird alien thing that looks way too cartoony to be legit.

Oh some BBV's charged you for not rewinding? Ours never did but at least for many years but then by that time nobody rented VHS's anymore and just DVD's, Blu Ray and games. I remember going to all my BBV's and looking for Super Mario RPG and Clayfighter:Sculptors Cut. I could not find either of these games, but I did get lucky enough to buy their for sale bin of Beast Wars Transformers for N64 which is on ebay for a decent price now.

But Clayfighter I had to buy on ebay also like 6 years ago for like 250 bucks, now haha I don't even want to imagine the price. MK 4 comic is also up there.

That's cool you used to work for Hollywood video, because that replaced my Palmer video before closing. Now it's a Buffalo Wild Wings which is good, that spot has a habit of putting cool places where I live.

Really?? A WWE game??? What happened to the potential Marvel vs DC game? Can't we get more creative? Idk maybe something like a TMNT game? The Matrix?? I love you NRS, but anything but WWE.
My votes for TMNT game. Marvel would be too hard due to the rights. I don't think Disney would help their competitors in WB tbh.
