Vi fikk sjansen til å møte selveste Ed Boon, skaperen av Mortal Kombat-serien, for å snakke om det spillet som kommer i 2015. Blant annet snakker vi om det faktum at hver nye figur nå har tre versjoner, hvordan bakgrunnene tas i bruk og "fatality meetings".
Foreløpig har bare et lite knippe figurer blitt bekreftet til Mortal Kombat X, men Ed Boon fortalte mer om utvelgelsesprosessen:
"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."
Selvsagt kan vi ikke gjennomføre et Mortal Kombat-intervju uten å snakke om Fatalities. Ed Boon forklarer hvordan de blir til, og samtidig at langt fra alle ideene fikk plass i spillet:
"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."
