Sup Nest! good idea you've got there man!

You should write Ed Boon an email. You never know!

good shit man .

It's a great concept. I thought I remembered seeing this concept in the Krypt of... Deception? Deadly Alliance? I don't know, one of them.

It would definitely be fun, but it also totally depends on how the next game runs online. I don't know too much about this lag-type stuff, but it would seem to me that whatever troubles you have with 2 players would only increase with 4 players. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

And then, as you would expect, the graphics and all will be improved with the next game as well. Wouldn't that be more data that needs to travel between players and thus possibly more lag? Then again, I don't know what the state of general internet connections will be by then. Still probably 2 years away.

If it works, though; hell yeah, do it. I like watching others' matches anyway. And obviously I like playing. This way you could do both.

I had the same idea a few years ago prior to MK:D's release with the tag team and hope they really do do this sometime.

Only thing is mine is a little different, I would give the option for 4-6 players to have either 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 like UMK3 style.

I also want them to do this for MK8 which Midway actually hinted at(Boon in an older interview) that they will highly consider a similar route to what they did with UMK3 360's layout, round robin style.

Where there's 4 in a room, winner stays and everyone takes turns trying to become the new king to take down.

This idea would rock with up to 6 players personally in MK8. That's an idea that I have.

I think this would be just as fun as tag-team mode, round robin with up to 6 players in MK8=awesome!

This could make clan wars more viable. Imagine a tag match with Meso and Eazy vs Mav and Chaos. Lets say I beat Meso then take a bit of damage to Eazy then Chaos finishes him off. It would be really cool. Dont think it will EVER happen though.

The thing we forget is that games like Tekken and DOA can do things like this because they dont really overhaul their basic game engine so by the time you get to DOA4 or Tekken 5 etc..they are really updating and improving the same game. This isnt the case with MK. MK1&2 are VERY different from MK3, UMK3, MKT, which is very different from MK4 which is very different than MKDA and MKD which is slightly different from MKA. Now the next MK is a new engine so therefore will be a new game. The ONLY thing consistent about MK games is the MK title. While other series have had 4+ games to perfect the engine and explore depth within it. MK has not remained the same for more than 3 games in a row. This is good and bad for the series. It keeps it fresh...but it also keeps it relatively shallow compared to other games.

The shallow is mere opinion, and I think it's a bit early personally to judge MK8 and we have no info on the game what so ever.

But as bad as some might think the 3D Mk's are, ever play SF 3D EX? That game sucks...and I enjoy the SF series, but the old games.

Thanks for all your comments guys...

Take a look in this thread... 2 Players Practice.

Please Post what you think guys...





PS: Sorry for the double Post.

It would be awesome if that could happen. And what is that thing in DOA4 called? The one whereby you can watch other people. Now that'd be a great idea. I think the unreal engine will give MK8 a good solid foundation to add features that we're currently talking about.

When is MK8 due for release anyway?

Here is the problem though. Does ANYONE remember when Boon took advice from the community. I dont.

Here are things nobody wanted to see happen but did

1. no more 3 styles
2. air kombat
3. getting rid of chess kombat
4. adding motor kombat (wtf is this supermario)
5. custom fatalites that are the same for every character
6. getting rid of Hara kiri


You know what I think it is. Boon nor anyone on his team actually likes to play MK. Makes me think. If you had a match-up between the developers and the top 10 guys here. I think it would be a 10-0 blow out. With NO rounds won. They dont really understand or play there own game. imo. I think the devs are more like the peeps who go to the general discussion forum. Its like they sit around and say "wouldnt be cool if..." which is nice, but sometimes those silly ideas dont really work in reality.

i dig the idea mannnn we shall find out soon enough

Does the name mastermalone ring any bells? He did listen to a lot of his ideas such as the plants, wake up, parries. I remember Master making a whole post about it somewhere in the MKA thread actually. The game just fails with other things such as the air kombat that has glitches with it to freeze your foe all day long in the air, yeah there are still some FT's but they're nothing in MKA compared to the difference they made in MKD especially with the parries in there.

Motor Kombat is a million times better and more fun then stupid chess kombat. Chess was a rigged game, all it was about was bomb placements, owning the two squares which gave you an edge with health and being average or a bit better to win. At first it seemed fun, but once I realized the bs in it it was dumb. Reminds me of the KAK in MKA once the infinite formulas came out, everyone tried to do it online. In chess MKD mode, once you figured out the bomb placements, owned the 2 squares the games over....and not to mention there were so many times where I spent an hour on the game and would have won then they pull...ultra lame and waste of time. In Motor Kombat, if someone leaves the race still goes on...much better mode.

Puzzle was good but chess was retarded. And you can have up to 8 players online racing=a lot more fun then MKD's mini games.

Hari Kari's nobody gave a shit about, it's the oldschool MK fatalities that needed to be there. I'm sure with the negative feedback with MKA's fatalities, the old ones will be back in MK8.

And dude, the 3 styles narrowed down to 2 was the logical thing to do given the amount of characters. It brought more balance to the game, 2 is better then 3 in the case of MKA if you ask me.
