Vi fick chansen att prata med självaste Ed Boon, skaparen av Mortal Kombat-serien, för att prata om den kommande delen som släpps nästa år. Bland annat snackar vi om det faktum att varje figur nu har tre versioner, hur bakgrunderna kan nyttjas och "fatality meetings".
Hittills har bara ett fåtal figurer bekräftats till Mortal Kombat X, men Ed Boon berättade mer om urvalsprocessen:
"The last Mortal Kombat game that we did was kind of like a love letter to the Mortal Kombat 1,2, and 3 days. So we brought back all those characters. All the ones people remember from when Mortal Kombat was a flat 2D game and then kind of just updated it with the more modern graphics and this game we wanted to have as much newness to it. We call this Mortal Kombat X it's kind of like the next Mortal Kombat as far as generation, the next console generation, the next character generation. So we really wanted to introduce characters that were related to the existing Mortal Kombat characters, so they're kind of descendants. Cassie Cage is Johnny Cage's daughter. This game our goals was to really introduce as many new characters to the mix as possible."
Självklart kan vi inte göra en Mortal Kombat-intervju utan att snacka om Fatalitys. Ed Boon förklarade hur de kommer till och att långt ifrån alla de hittar på får vara med:
"Most of the fatalities come from fatality meetings. And you'd be surprised how many of them don't make the cut. Just because it's kind of crossing a line. But they're a lot of fun. Everyone kind of just stands up and acts them out and then we get responses from people and that's one of the more fun meetings in the company."
Mortal Kombat X släpps nästa år till PC, Playstation 3 och 4 samt Xbox 360 och Xbox One. Men nog svamlat, spana in denna härliga intervju som inga sanna våldsverkare bör missa.
