G4TV X-Play previews MK: Shaolin Monks |
G4's X-Play previewed
Mortal
Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Episode #5077 covered PS2 version
of Batman Begins, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, and Gundam
Seed. They also previewed Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for
the DS and Spider-Man 2 on PSP.
::From the X-Play Preview::
We recently played a short demo of Shaolin Monks. An early
portion of the game is playable as both Liu Kang and Kung
Lao. The character selection screen shows shadows for two
other selectable characters, which appear to be unlockable.
The outlines lead us to believe that they’re ninjas, with
one of them likely to be Sub-Zero.
As far as the gameplay goes, Shaolin Monks is a 3D action
game that combines beat-‘em-up style, an ambitious combat
system, and light platforming elements. The game can be
played single-player or cooperatively. While the platforming
and level layout seem fairly standard, the combat system is
pretty ambitious and full of potential.

GamingEvolution post previews Mortal Kombat:
Shaolin Monks |
GamingEvolution post previews Mortal Kombat: Shaolin
Monks. They got a couple of images from the game but not any
new info about the game.
::From the GamingEvolution Preview::
Ever since Midway and Ed Boon brought the Mortal Kombat
series to gamers around the world in 1992, they haven’t
looked back. Though some series see their peak later in
their life span, the Mortal Kombat series peaked with its
second installment, Mortal Kombat II. The series is still
able to garner a solid fanbase and turn a few heads, despite
the stellar showing of the two spin-offs that they released;
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat
Special Forces. But unlike those two titles, Midway; with
the developing skills of Paradox, has lots of experience
within the combat field (thanks to their work on the
Backyard Wrestling series)., and thus Shaolin Monks looks to
have a more positive outlook (compared to the ladder).

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks Dairy |
MortalKombatOnline.com has post an online dairy of the
Developers of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. This Diary
insert is from Shaun Himmerick, the producer of MK: Shaolin
Monks.
::From the MKO Diary::
Yes two years - October 03 - September 05, and Paradox was
working on the prototype well before October 03. Yes, US and
PAL both in September 2005 this year. This game was a
secret. I'm not going to tell you who the other playable
characters are, do you people want any surprises? There will
be both an OPM demo and an OXM demo available in the next
month or so. Xbox 360 is backwards compatible as will be the
PS3, so everyone can play it. Yes, the voice of Liu Kang
likes sandwiches, I love my PSP" and yes, MK2.
OK how about the Environments huh? The prototype for this
game was built starting in the Soul Tombs so that was the
first thing we tackled. For every level there was a fucking
ton of concept art from Paradox that Steve, Tony, Ed and I
would go over. We'd select lighting from one and color
palettes from another and style of architecture from another
and then look at some more concept art. Also every time we
tackled a level we looked at the original MK2 background as
concept art as well. If you watch closely, when you play a
level there will always be at least one area of every level
that will be the section of that level that is the MK2
background brought into 3D. Some are easy to tell, like the
Soul Tombs or Goro's Lair. Others are more subtle like the
Living Forest or the Wastelands. Yes I know Goro's Lair
wasn't in MK2, it is an extra.
