nog wat info ,
there´s also many interviews from a number of sites, first we have Jeff Gerstmann GiantBomb, the always delirious Destructoid and the australian site TotalMK.
Since i know you are a busy person, here you have a resume of the more relevant:
-The MKteam (now known as netherealm studios) have been working on this game ever since the finished MKvsDCU, but some of the ideas implementes in this game com from before that, the idea of going back to 2D gameplay was born from the hybrid mechanich of MKvsDCU.
-The X-Ray Move was also an idea borned during the development of MKvsDCU.
-The fighting engine of this game is the most complex so far.
-The final size of the roster might vary, but it will be around 26 + DLC characters.
-There are no more characters confirme for the moment, even though most of the roster will be composed of characters from MK1, MK2, MK3. And no confirmation on Stryker.
-The game will have around 18 arenas, and if one of said arenas had a deathtrap in a previous installment, it will return for this one.
-The game will have an story mode much like MKvsDCU, but it will be a single story, and it will be much more longer and complex.
-The game was going to be called MK Resurrection or something similar, but since the game plays homage to the first games on the franchise, it will be called just Mortal Kombat.
-The soundtrack will be composed of classic themes remixed, and a few new ones. Dan forden will return to make the music, but it is still unknown if the "Toasty" will return.
-Ed boon broke the record guiness for voicing a character for the longest time in a videogame, that´s 18 years making the voice of scorpion. Just so you know, the second place is the guy who makes the voice of Mario.
-Ed boon might return to be the voice of announcer, maybe as an unlockable feature.
-There will be super unlockable secrets like in MK2 and 3.
-There will be at least 2 fatality´s per character, and alternate costumes. If there are going to be any friendships and the like, they will remain a secret.
-In order to come up with a new fatality, the teams reunites on regular meetings where everyone brings an idea, and the rest decide if it´s cool or not.
-The DLC for the game will include characters, arenas, fatalitys and alternate costumes.
-There is a chance that MK1 will be released on Xbox Live Market place, and the playstation network.
-Ed boon loved the rebirth trailer, and if it ever gets done, he supports the idea. By the way, the release of said trailer and the announcement of MK9 being only a day away, is merely a coincidence.
-Ed still has a very good relationship with John Tobias. Friendship.
-The experience of working with WB has been extremely positive, they have great creative control and all the time they want to develop the game. Quality is of the escence.
-The importance of this game is such that a planetary alignament is taking place just in order to make it possible.
Stay tuned for more updates.
