Mortal Kombat Deception Classic Characters Hack

Posted by Zonk on from the get-over-here! dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new hack for Mortal Kombat Deception is making the rounds. A member of Maxconsole has managed to unlock and find a number of classic characters in the game. Until now it was not known how these characters could be unlocked or selected. A trainer is expected to be released shortly, which will make all these characters playable and will only run on an a modded Xbox."

    There are some people who would rather play with friends you know than some random guy abusing his laggy connection to beat you.

    Yeah, I can appreciate that, even though I pretty much only play online with people I actually know anyway, but if the developers were going to have the models in them game, which allows them to be hacked via a modded xbox, then why not just include them as actual unlockable characters for the hell of it. That's my point.

  5. Time released by Bizzle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Mortal Kombat was known for "Time Released" characters. Being that consoles can maintain clock time, it could be whats going on.

      Nope, that was Tekken. Mortal Kombat 3 had one character (smoke) who was released with a code (The Ultimate Kombat Kode) in the arcade. See gamefaqs. Maybe the characters are released in some other way (1000 multiplayer wins?) or maybe they just weren't put in the finished game. You have to fight Jax and the other characters in storyline (konquest) mode, so perhaps he was included for just that.

    I guess that means you won't be able to play with them online. And, if so, what the freakin' point?

    Dunno, maybe...playing with some friends locally?

    MK used to be played with people in the same f*cking room...

    (I can't understand why there is such a craze over this title. The MK series has always had horrible gameplay, and the reviews for MK: Deception say that this "feature" remains.)

  7. The Krypt by Iscariot_ · · Score: 2, Informative

    Seeing how lots of characters were in the Krypt in the last game, isn't it highly likely that these characters will be too?

    And even if that is not the case, since some of these characters do indeed have moves (read the articles for info), I'd say they at least have plans for adding these characters via Xbox Live.

    Well, they could make the ability to use them "premium content" (I think that's what paid-for downloads are called on XBL?). They'd pretend they download them to your HD but in reality simply flick a flag and save bandwidth and time by already having the data on the game disk.

  9. Three options... by Gothic_Walrus · · Score: 2, Informative
    The way I see it, you've got three choices here...

    Download the trainer and use it on a modded Xbox, meaning you can't play online anymore...

    Forget that the trainer exists and try to live your life without playing as Johnny Cage or Kung Lao in glorious 3D...

    Or go to GameStop and get yourself a Genesis and a copy of MK2 for $20. If that won't work, wait for the next compilation of classic Midway games, which is supposed to have MK2 and MK3 on it. :)
