Guys, play Pinball Arcade (android, pc, consoles) to see the Pinball machines he worked in. Those he help make were the best. He is a legend long before MK.
Ed boon may be a troll sometimes but i do love the fact that he is in love with his work and that he is dedicated and passionate of delivering the best fighting experience while actually listening to his fans. We need more guys like him
Thank you Ed Boon for making some of my favorite games of all time, I definitely appreciate the hard work all the nice people at Midway/Netherealm have done over the years. as a Chicago resident I'm proud to say Netherealm resides in my home town.
Ed Boon,always the brightest & creative minds in the video game industry. Super High Impact to Total Carnage to the fated Mortal Kombat franchise. Thanks Mr. Boon.
Love this interview. I especially enjoyed finding out about Ed’s childhood, it’s always interesting to see the origins of the creator in their formative years
The thing I like the most about Netherealm games and why I like them more than other fighters is the all around balance. All the characters feel pretty equal and non feel too OP. Plus their backstories are always really in depth, even in the old MK titles, and make you interested in them. The other thing I really enjoy is whereas other fighting games you can kind of tell the story modes aren't too high of a priority, but with Netherealm they go the extra mile with hiring well known actors for voices, and make you feel fully immersed in kind of like an interactive movie.
Zaid Abraham Noob Saibot was a secret character in MK2 whose name was derived from the last names of its two developers spelled backwards. Noob is from Ed Boon and Saibot is from John Tobias.
ed boon is the best like damn who doesnt like him? he has a creative mind and has good ideas im still waiting on a new dlc pack in mortal kombal x after he finishes injustice 2
***** its been to long. Netherrealm is the type of company to do things ahead of time. Theres a good chance that theyre gonna start making theyre next game before injustice 2 even gets released, if they haven't already. Theres a chance for more dlc but, a very, very slim one. I give it a 5% chance at best
***** it would be great, im not disagreeing with that. I just gave up on that dream. In less then two weeks itll be one year after the last dlc came out
this was a great interview i was really curious about their history of making games, little do you know your side project could be the next big thing that will go down in history
Ed Boon has said that he would love to do a Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat crossover, but Capcom has said that they don't want their SF characters to be killed onscreen.
@@railenherman6482 it would be over for capcom dont get me wrong I love Ken and ryu but they will get tore up by scorpion liu kang sub zero hell it will be bad blood lol
Absolutely love this guy and the games he's brought us, as much as I love MK, being a giant comic nerd makes Injustice 2 my favorite fighting game of all time
Ed Boon is the coolest dude.. Great game developer. Johnny Cage reminded me Jean Claude too, when I first seen MK game in video cafe about 15 years ago. I took a topology forms from Kitana and Liu Kang bodies MK 1995 as men and female models and mixed them with other stuff for my game ^^
I'll always go MK over SF any day, just for story and better developed characters alone plus the first fighting game to offer an option to OFF/KILL the guy after a fight? I mean that is just an genius and brilliant idea. MK is indeed one of the best fighters ever made and as iconic as any other franchise in gaming history. Period. Lastly, Psi-Ops what a great game that game set the platform for games like Force Unleashed and Infamous. Such a great game and vastly underrated.
+Tempest Brown, I'd have to disagree. SF was good, but now they've gone downhill. MK is the better franchise especially now and the past 10 years because not just the games selling better than past few SF games(MK 9 and MK X did better worldwide) but with other expanded mediums between the comics, web series, movies, music etc MK is clearly more successful.
MKF30 I said FIGHTING GAME franchise so those points you made are obsolete. I mean come on, SF has a MUCH better history then MK when it comes to being an actual fighter, and this is coming from huge MK fanboy.
MKF30 are we talking about popularity or what franchise has the superior fighting game? I'll say this, MK and SF are very different fighting games and b
+Tempest Brown, I'm talking overall success. Not saying SF is horrible or anything(though some may say SF5 was lacking) I'm aware that for years MK from a competitive viewpoint wasn't taken as seriously as SF(that's not to say some MK's couldn't or can't be played more high level) it's just the game wasn't aimed at that crowd except for a few MK's and the current games that are made to be accessible yet offer the tools for the higher level players online and off. Which is a good thing IMO. At the end of the day both have had their share of weaker MK games and weaker SF games from a gameplay viewpoint, depending on the era both have had flops at times both have had them over the years I admit. Both have had stronger games as well. But, from a general viewpoint of which franchise currently is more popular? I'm pretty sure most would vote MK in every region except for Japan/Asia which is one region, the rest of the world I'm pretty sure would say MK currently however. MKX did amazingly well, sold the most out of any MK game ever made(and keep in mind I'm not a huge fan of MK X) it's great in it's own way, I respect that but personally I'm not a fan of the pro rushdown element and anti-defensive/zoning execution in it, still I respect the success of it. I personally enjoyed MK 9 more though even though kabal, kl and cyrax could have been a bit more tweaked. In terms of gaming characters I think both are about equal I mean let's be honest, everyone knows who Ryu is as well as Scorpion. Agreed? But you're right, they are very different with style, gameplay, story, characters, power levels etc the thing they have in common is the same genre and both 2D. Both have tried 3D, both kind of failed at it sadly... I'd love to see an MK vs. SF, I think it's hard for everyone to like both equally. It's kind of like DC and Marvel, some people enjoy both but majority prefer one over the other.
I'm not a big fan of Injustice. I just hope MK 11 will be released in 2018 or 2019. Also, I'd love to see a Horror Movie Fighting Game or MK Armageddon (The Remake) or MK Shaolin Monks 2
Please don't stop making MK games. I'm buying every DLC character you throw in because I want to support your hard work and it's my favorite game. Can KP3 become reality after Injustice 2?
John Tobias he is the one who created the whole games in MK .... he is the one who created all the characters designs and background story! ....Ed boon gave his input designs and ideas.
My heart is just split between street fighter and mortal combat I hold so many greatest memories and I want for both to get success separate or together, I am on it either way
I remember playing mortal kombat 1 2 and 3 in the arcades back in the early to mid 90s and I had all three games for sega genesis just bought mortal kombat 1 and 2 for snes got to get it for sega genesis again when I get the mega hd retron
NyteBlade and Boon said it was in the first one? I don't remember it in the second one either, but I saw it too long ago. Hasn't Johnny died right in the beginning?
38:00 - as far as a Street Fighter game, Netherrealm should make Mortal Kombat x Street Fighter, where it is more Mortal Kombat/Injustice based, and Capcom should make Street Fighter x Mortal Kombat, where it is more Street Fighter / Marvel vs Capcom based. That way you get the best of both worlds.
Ed Boon the legend
BruskPoetProductions yup gaming legend
BruskPoetProductions of course nothing to something I love him he's awesome
Guys, play Pinball Arcade (android, pc, consoles) to see the Pinball machines he worked in. Those he help make were the best. He is a legend long before MK.
BRUSK
Wrong, hes riding the coattails of John Tobias
This was a really good interview, this is why Ed Boon is one of the best game developers in history.
He's on my list of developers.
Ed boon may be a troll sometimes but i do love the fact that he is in love with his work and that he is dedicated and passionate of delivering the best fighting experience while actually listening to his fans. We need more guys like him
Ed Boon such a humble guy , he's a living legend in the gaming industry !
Thank you Ed Boon for making some of my favorite games of all time, I definitely appreciate the hard work all the nice people at Midway/Netherealm have done over the years.
as a Chicago resident I'm proud to say Netherealm resides in my home town.
I am from Eastern Europe but when I hear about Chicago I think (quickly) about Chicago Bulls and the city of the MK creators
Ecartts nice
Ed Boon,always the brightest & creative minds in the video game industry. Super High Impact to Total
Carnage to the fated Mortal Kombat franchise. Thanks Mr. Boon.
Awesome interview. Ed Boon is one of the developers who defined the whole video game industry. Creative genius.
Love this interview. I especially enjoyed finding out about Ed’s childhood, it’s always interesting to see the origins of the creator in their formative years
I love Ed. His tweets really brighten up my day.
Ed Boon is terrific! I have memories of Mk going back into 90s. Great game designer. Enjoying the latest Mortal Kombats. Fine work.
The thing I like the most about Netherealm games and why I like them more than other fighters is the all around balance. All the characters feel pretty equal and non feel too OP.

I could listen to Ed Boon talk about pinball for days.
The man who is responsible for the word "noob"
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials spell the name backwards is "Boon"
+xPUNISHER84x smh
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials He isn't. The word "noob" comes from the word "newbie", as in "new player"

Ed boon is Legend. Much respect!

ed boon is the best like damn who doesnt like him? he has a creative mind and has good ideas im still waiting on a new dlc pack in mortal kombal x after he finishes injustice 2
jayboOgZ55 it wont happen. accept it
dave longsdorf how can you be so sure? its not goin to happen?
***** its been to long. Netherrealm is the type of company to do things ahead of time. Theres a good chance that theyre gonna start making theyre next game before injustice 2 even gets released, if they haven't already. Theres a chance for more dlc but, a very, very slim one. I give it a 5% chance at best
dave longsdorf we shall see what happens it would be a good surprise if we see something new for mortal kombat

Ed boon.. creator of my #1 favorite game
Manu BB YEA BUDDY!

One of the few videos on youtube where I actually watched from beginning to end.
Shaolin Monks 2 please. I need it in my life.
Gaydin Hester that would be great

Yes 😂😂
this was a great interview i was really curious about their history of making games, little do you know your side project could be the next big thing that will go down in history
We need to have an mk movie reboot.
Hanzo Hasashi there is a new mk reboot coming soon
Hanzo Hasashi hell yeah

January 2021
April 23 2021
I can’t wait for Mortal Kombat 11 to come out. Ed Boon is the legend .
Will never understand why Shaolin Monks never got a sequel or even a HD remaster, such seriously good co-op beat 'em up game.
I'm 33 years old and I been waiting on Mk vs Sf since I was like 12.
Shaun Newport it could easily be just scorpion vs street fighter
Ed Boon has said that he would love to do a Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat crossover, but Capcom has said that they don't want their SF characters to be killed onscreen.

Thats what the Kombat Pavilion is for.

Wait, something interesting coming out from IGN? what year is this?
Roberto Sauma 2017
2009 when everything was still interesting
Hyperio too right mate
This was probably the coolest interview I've ever seen. no lie.
Roberto Sauma tell me about it
This guy is the king of video games. He is quite literally the opposite of a Noob.
You don't get it..... Noob saibot is boon Tobias backwards
DeathDRums \m/ DUH noob is the opposite of Boon
There is no knowledge that is not power.
Absolutely love this guy and the games he's brought us, as much as I love MK, being a giant comic nerd makes Injustice 2 my favorite fighting game of all time
lol ed boon is a chill dude. he's always been the same since I first saw him
Absolutely wonderful interview.. Long too! Loved it!
The most amazing thing about Ed Boon, no lay offs, never!
The best eyebrows in the video game industry
Ed Boon is my hero
T Rated Imagine how life would be if Ed Boon was your dad.
Ed Boon please bring back Tag 2V2 in MKXI please..
Angel Five YES
Angel Five yeah 4 player 2v2
Angel Five NO GOD NO. I hated the tag battles in MK9.
Wow they actually took that out?? Didn't play enough MK XL umm honestly I think MK Komplete edition was better than MK XL.
Raptorking 0505 They don't need to put it in story mode. Just put it in versus. Playing MK9 with 3 other friends is a lot of fun
Dude that interview was a Double Flawless Victory and Fatality!! Nice job
Who thinks Mortal Kombat 11 is coming after injustice 2
yep in 2019
Tempest Brown
Considering MKX came out 4 years after MK11, it has to be atleast 2020 unless they rush it.
KingsUnited I hope 🙏
Talos 7 Inherent i think he deleted his comment lol
I would like to see a new project instead of a new mk
The Legend...long live Ed Boon and his Legacy!!!Get over heree!!!!
Ed Boon is the coolest dude.. Great game developer. Johnny Cage reminded me Jean Claude too, when I first seen MK game in video cafe about 15 years ago. I took a topology forms from Kitana and Liu Kang bodies MK 1995 as men and female models and mixed them with other stuff for my game ^^
Love for Ed ba-Boon and his work... huge fan of MK and Injustice.
This guy is responsible for my childhood lol
mk > street fighter

MK vs Street Fighter

Do these unfiltered every week!! This is awesome!
I really love this guy he made one of my favorite games! He is such a legend!
Great interview, Ed's such a cool dude!
Just to compensate for the hate against Ryan in this thread:
Great interview, Ryan! It was awesome. Good job! :D
Pedro Staziaki i literally have not seen a single negative comment
Thank you!
MK and Injustice with guest characters are amazing.
Thank you for the good times Ed!
I'm not a big fan of Injustice. I just hope MK 11 will be released in 2018 or 2019. Also, I'd love to see a Horror Movie Fighting Game or MK Armageddon (The Remake) or MK Shaolin Monks 2

Boon is awesome total genius, legend for ever.
I'm just waiting for the next MK 👀
April baby!
Please don't stop making MK games. I'm buying every DLC character you throw in because I want to support your hard work and it's my favorite game. Can KP3 become reality after Injustice 2?
Don't even mention retirement to Ed!
great interview, thanks!
John Tobias he is the one who created the whole games in MK .... he is the one who created all the characters designs and background story! ....Ed boon gave his input designs and ideas.
If in the future they make a movie about Ed Boon, I think Zachary Quinto would be the perfect cast.
Ed Boon was the voice of Rudy in the pinball classic FUNHOUSE
تو بهترین خالقی هستی که من دیدم
خالق شخصیت هایی که از دوران کودکی تا الان بسیار جذاب و سرگرم کننده هستند
ممنون از ۳ دهه تلاشت Ed Boon
This dude is an icon
Yoooo It's ed boons birthday!
Thank you pinball for influencing the greatest video game creator
Ed Boon might be the only relevant person that's been on Unfiltered.
I LOVE ED BOON AND HIS TEAM! I have a lot of respect for them. they make awesome game's. Always MK
John Tobias left because he wanted to focus on story in games. And now he's working on FarmVille. How'd that work out for you, John?

John tobias needs a shout out too, Mk was more of johns brain child then Ed
Great interview
Ed Boon please don't leave out Mileena out of MK11
This is actually a good and interesting interview
"you know" count : 100000 xD
When did Johnny Cage do a Shadow Kick in the movie?
NyteBlade and Boon said it was in the first one? I don't remember it in the second one either, but I saw it too long ago. Hasn't Johnny died right in the beginning?
NyteBlade Yep. Just saw it too, they went for a mixture of his and Liu Kang's signature attacks
NyteBlade I hope that research didn't take 9 month. :) Interesting, gotta rewatch the fight!
Ed is the GOAT
Legend folks.
Boon is a gift to mankind, simple as that
I was one of those guys, @noobde that went to all of the arcades in city and outlying areas looking for competition. 👍👍
Has there been an episode on Neil Druckmann and or Bruce Straley?
I for sorry for people that didn't grow up during the arcade. Playing against some one next to you , is not the same as playing online.
Please do a part 2 interview with Ed boon please
their making a horror fighting game next I'm calling it
Ed is da king. The interviewer is garabgio
38:00 - as far as a Street Fighter game, Netherrealm should make Mortal Kombat x Street Fighter, where it is more Mortal Kombat/Injustice based, and Capcom should make Street Fighter x Mortal Kombat, where it is more Street Fighter / Marvel vs Capcom based. That way you get the best of both worlds.
From Pinball to Mortal Kombat
MK VS KI !
Hey Ed Boon will you place Noob, Rain, Jade, and Fujin in MK 11 that needs to be done fan demand.
Is john tobias still working on mortal kombat??
Jeans and a tie. Classy attire, Ryan.
Can you please do another interview with ed boon
