What? For me it's very large. It takes up almost the whole screen. Weird. I've seen this happen before, though. I will just link to the images:

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/mkwikia/images/a/ab/Edboontwitterheader2.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20151002014730

Neither of those were better IMHO. Why not direct link to it? https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/17530721/1443748715/1500x500

Anyways, I see what you mean about the random floating head. Maybe it's a hint at a new project since the banner has NRS' breadwinners on it.

 

[Scott The Scot]

NRS has arcade machines in their headquarters if I remember for a video pre-MKX release, they have GRID machines and MK machines. I'm not sure about the pinball machines though. NRS also has the neon lights but I don't remember what they said... Maybe this is supposed to be some sort of reference to Netherrealm Studios. Maybe it's a hint, maybe it's a bait. The head looks like chucky with a fringe and something in his tight eye, but I'm not sure what it means, there's no way the're going to put chucky in for DLC. There's also no way that Batman would be DLC, DC wouldn't want him fatalitied lol.

Maybe NRS are going to their local arcade, GGA and doing some sort of MK/Injustice event when KP2 is released.

 

[Scott The Scot]

MK vs DCU 2?

NOOOOOOO!!!! THAT game is honestly the worst in my library.

 

[TamedLizard]

Boon dropping a Jade "hint".

Trump?

Presidency?

Jade for President!

 

[shura30]

what does it mean?

obviously noob, cyrax and sektor

What, because of the colours? That doesn't mean it's obvious and that's a blowup if you're wrong

Not the first time I've heard this theory lol.

I can't make out that oddball face to save my life though.

And the fact that he added Batman to his BG suggests to me that at least some part of the team has started working on Injustice 2.

 

[ShaolinChuan]

I'm getting a "Injustice vs MK" vibe from the change of his banner too. The MK team has evolved so I'm not worried if that actually happens, I wouldn't mind it at all actually.

But most likely they've begun working on Injustice 2 (planning stages, character artists, gameplay details, story, etc) , and the character animation, motion cap, gameplay team are working on KP2 for MKX. They're most likely using character models from story anyway (Fujin, Rain / Sindel, Baraka, Bo Rai Cho).

2016 can't come soon enough, I hate waiting for info.

I remember in an interview they said that as soon as one game ends they start developing the next so it's most likely that they have started it. They said it takes two years to create a game.

 

[ErMac333]

That color thing really seems like the kind of hint Boon would eventually drop. I'm 100% certain that KP2 won't have 3 cyborgs though lol

About the next game, I wish it was MKX2/MKXI, but it seems a lot unlikely. I'll take whatever they do though, even though I'm not a huge DC guy, I enjoyed Injustice A LOT, and Starfire is always a possibility.

 

[Crimzon-ET]

I can't figure out how to post the pictures that Ed Boon is tweeting about the Alien but here are the links to some recent Ed Boon Alien tweets.

Boons trolling levels are so high, i cant even tell when he's serious anymore.....

 

[Scott The Scot]

I don't think ED posted the picture, he was just replying.

"#OneDown"
Maybe this means he's actually giving us real hint to a KP character.

He capitalised "FRIENDSHIP" so at first I want to think that he's emphasising that's the hint (I don't think friendships will be DLC, but it's not impossible lol and shouldn't be ruled out). But friendship "move"? What? What does that mean?

Also, I'd like to point out that Ed has changed his profile picture. I think it just means MKX but if anyone has interesting theories, then hmu because that shit is my jam!

EDIT:
Oooh. Just saw the tweet before. He did tweet it out... So he said Alien Konfirmed? I don't know if he's being real or not. I just. What!? My head is going to explode. Where the riddle? What does he mean by Alien? The Xenomorph or some other sort of Alien? I- I- who- wh- SOMEBODY SAVE ME!

 

[Crimzon-ET]

@Scott The Scot
Yeah, I wasn't sure either at first but after seeing what ED Boon posted along with the picture it definitely looks like a Xenomorph is incoming for KP2

 

[MadeOfMetal]

honestly anytime any pic shows up on eds page, it could very well be a hint, even if he didnt post it, obviously because he has to ok posts on his page

 

[SaJa]

It was an interview from me with Derek ? They said they start a new game after the DLC are done.

Oh, well my memory isn't perfect but I'm more or less correct

 

[Lo0py]

I hope theres no god damn guest characters this time around..

 

[TamedLizard]

If they couldn't animate a tail for Reptile, I have no clue how they're going to do it for Alien's flailing tail shenanigans.

To hell with a guests for a game though. Two is two too many.

 

[Scott The Scot]

Not for NRS, there is no such thing as too much money haha. Don't blame them to be honest haha

Meh can't argue with that. But goddamn... Predator AND Jason? Two of the biggest movie icons/cash cows you could go for. Alien would be the better of two evils for me considering the other contestants, but overkill is overkill lol.

I don't know man, I'm very very satisfied with Jason. If he played differently tomorrow then I'd not be happy, I love him. On release, Predator was soooo mental and fun to play. Don't like him anymore now lol
