Will there be a way to disable the kameo system?

[Vegi]

I just think the whole concept looks stupid and it bothers me. I'm not sure if I'll be able to enjoy the game with the kameo system active. Will I be able to turn it off? It's bothering me just watching it and I hate to think of having it there bothering me whenever I'm playing. It's making me less excited for the game, so is there going to be a way to turn that whole system off when I play?

I hope so too.
I am OK with the kameo system as long as I have the option to play without it too

I'm not buying the game unless it's optional.

At least they can let the cameo characters be customisable, the mixed reality system where you have a real world character and a different version together with no logical explanation feels off. At least i dont like playing like that.

I'm seriously considering this as well.

Yes Cameo must be optional but it isn't the case it seems it is a core feature of this game

I wish more would.

That's really discouraging to hear. I really don't like the system and I don't think I'm going to be able to enjoy the game if I can't turn it off.

Why don't you like the kameo system?

The concept of mortal kombat is 1 on 1 between two fighters. When you have random non-continuity characters appearing and interfering in the fight it takes me out of the suspension of belief that it's a clash between two fighters. It ruins the moment for the sake of a weird gametype. It completely ruins the tone of a fight, and while I don't mind such modes existing I prefer not to play with them. For it to be there in such a manner in which I cannot escape it means that every fight I ever do in this game is going to have this thing that bothers me. And when I say it bothers me it completely disconnects me from the game. If it is indeed something that can't be disabled it means I am never going to be able to experience a fight that I enjoy start to finish without interruption, and if that's the case then I probably shouldn't play this game because it means every fight I ever have I'm going to have this thing bothering me. So it's kind of a big deal.

Probably not since Ed Boon gloats about the new Kameo system. I wouldn't be surprised if the game plays feels like MK11.

Really? And so will the opponent do? And you won't lose your efficiency? And why would you pay for a game 100% of its price and don't use the core system?

This is a alternate reality so it makes perfect sense that kombat...has changed.

Yeah that's a really good point. MK, at least the first few games (?), were supposed to be 1v1 tournaments. The first game was based a lot on Enter the Dragon if I'm not mistaken. Even the first MK live action film emphasized the tournament aspect. It's how you got cool matchups like Johnny Cage vs Scorpion, Liu Kang vs Sub Zero, and Sonya vs totally epic "Hello baby, did you miss me?" Kano. 😄

But I'd still be willing to give this a try if it's fun and the story is good.

Mortal Kombat (1992) had an endurance section of the arcade ladder which featured 1v2 fights. So even from the first game, it was never strictly 1v1, anyway

[Salander]

If you really think about it, the tournament was only there for MK 1 & 2 while the rest of the games were about some invasion (3, 4, X) or an impending doom (DA, D, Ar, 11) without rules.

At this point my only wish is that the Kameo System won't be as intrusive as to appear during Story Mode's cutscenes or that the game makes a logical explanation for it.
They kinda dropped the ball with Kronika being able to summon Robocop, Terminator and so on during 11 but... I want to give them the benefit of doubt.

As the assists per se... Well, it isn't something new to the genre and the latest gameplay videos seems fun. It just a matter of try it and see how it goes.

You had to 1 v 2 in Mortal Kombat Komplete in story mode?
