Noob.com's big reveal happens tomorrow

by Alexander Sliwinski on Apr 17th 2008 11:00PM

The big countdown on Mortal Kombat chief Ed Boon's personal site, Noob.com, revealed the above blurry picture and anagram. Cutting to the chase, it translates: Embargo lifts tomorrow. People are speculating the fuzzy image is MK's Scorpion, but it could be from the house party scene in Eyes Wide Shut for all we know.

If we really wanted to pinpoint a time Boon is going to make his big reveal, we'd shoot for something like 4PM Pacific. Why that time? Well, Midway is holding its media event in Las Vegas right now and the embargo on all information lifts at 4PM PST tomorrow. Maybe Boon will rebel and release his info early.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

I hope its the new MK series...

But prob not...

Well, Mortal Kombat definitely isn't the answer to that anagram, so maybe it's actually something good!

Mortal Kombat series are good! Unless you count the spin-offs.

I hope is MK but with the cool stuff (Friendships,Animalities,Babalities etc)

embargo lifts tomorrow, so i guess the anagram didnt really mean anything

My guess its something no1 cares about

*remembers big announcment comming soon before, everyone on edge of seat only to discover greatest announcment in gaming is nothing but Pacman C.E.*

There was an image that was pulled on GamesRadar.com earlier today with a picture that was called something like MKDC.jpg with a silhouette of a guy in front of Kintaro who looked like Superman.

Maybe those silly Mortal Kombat vs DC Comics is true after all..?

There was also a crossword puzzle/that code thing when translated listed a bunch of words. The only console name that seemed showed up was Wii.

I really hope it isn't Dc Vs MK.

Yea I am pretty sure it is mortal kombat vs dc and in a Sad note I read that there will be no fatalities in the game. So really it is non-mortal kombat verse DC. Or You could get a serious pricked finger vs DC.

That's Scorpion.

Filename is called "Rain02", maybe it's just a blurred image of Rain from the previous installments of Mortal Kombat.

I will eat my shiny, red-ribboned, curvaceous top-hat if that isn't Scorpion.

What if it is Human Cyrax?

(Of course is scorpion or Ermac with bleach in his uniform)

Then there will be no eating, and my avatar will remain the same =p

It's ERMAC!!!

People, people!

It is a possessed banana. Bananas in Pajamas: Split Alliance.

No, it's a new fighting game featuring: It's peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!

It's Mortal Kombat vs. DC.

Wow, so many shitty games from each series. Can't wait not to play it.

Actually MK main series were never shitty so take that back.

What happened is that Midway thought that milking the MK license with crappy spin off’s was a good idea at the time (Mythologies was half decent tho’ and Shaolin monks wasn’t bad either) but the mayor let down was MK: Armageddon since it promised more that it could delivered.

In a fan point of view this is the way I saw MK series.

MK1: Good
MK2: Awesome
MK3: Good
UMK3:Friggin’ sweet.
Trilogy: Awesome
MKIV: Acceptable
MKIV Gold: Um
MK DA: Good
MK D : Great
MK:A Bummer.

Mortal Kombat Deception was a step forward to the series but Armageddon was a step back.

Maybe i was over the line. They lost me at three. The whole pre-determined combo thing was just boring and repetitive. THe CPU would run the same moves over and over. UMK3 felt exactly the same, except they put in the characters that should've been in there in the first place. MKI was a good start, and MKII was an excellent game. 4 was pretty disappointing. I only played a couple of others, but they couldn't keep my interest.

I see Jesus.
Okay, not really. It's totally Scorpion.

Theres a difference?

Judas! Get over here!

Wait a minute... MK vs Bible.. I'd buy that game.. hmmm..

Somebody needs to update their software. This was created in Photoshop 7

its the easiest version to pirate.

I've got it! It's not a new game at all, it's the Real World: Mortal Kombat.

/puts on the blindfold

You may fire when ready.

It is his name backwards! Ha! you thought "noob" as in a wet behind the ears player. No! It is Boon, as in Ed Boon, as is Tobias Boon. Or should I say...Noob Saibot!!

Make of it what you will. We'll know for sure tomorrow.

holy crap. MK vs. DC. Wow.

I'm surprised you don't see it. That's Goro in all his Hi-Res "next-gen"-erry.

Scorpion looks like he's getting a punch blocked by someone just off the left of frame. A big hand. A big, black, spikey hand. A hand with no parents. A bat-hand!

Please be true, even if it's the most unbalanced game ever! (Superman could have all of them in about five seconds without even blinking.)

I thought MK died out in Armagamagaeddon (?) which was the end of the games series, Anyway I guess it to either be:

~Scorpion pointing at the screen with his face turned away
~two guys standing back to back
~A slug
~or it's not blurred to conceal it, boons releasing a game with a super fast main character, infact so fast that pixels cant properly be rendered thus appear permanently blurred
~finally a guy pointing and laughing at you.

DC vs. Mortal Kombat huh?

Dude Batman by himself can rape the MK cast? Why?

Preptime. Lots and lots of preptime.

Yeah it's MK vs. DC

Finally, Midway one-ups that "X-Men vs Street Fighter" game all the kids are playing...

Seriously, though...Sub-Zero looks awesomely gritty.

It's smoke's new oponent: blur

Looks like the Joker to me.

It's Scorpion about to break The Flash's arm I've seen it on gamesradar.com

And it says embargo lifts tomorrow
