Watching the trailers it seems as though Deception has improved in terms of realism over MKDA.

But there are still things that I feel should be implemented to make the gameplay feel more real. These details would make the fighting more genuine, instead of gimmicky. Not that MK should change to 100% life-like fighting, cus the whole MK empire was born on fun, and sometimes ridiculous moves. But I think someone minor additions would be welcomed by most fans.

Firstly, will the 'bone breaking' sounds return in MKD?
MK4 had leg/arm/neckbreakers etc but, although they were funny, seemed unrealistic. I would like to hear break sounds when a very damaging hit is landed, or perhaps when a long combo is executed. If an opponent gets hit hard in the face, a broken nose would occur, and blood could stream down their face for the remainder of the fight - possibly into the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Next, will MKD have realistic blood/gore?
One of MKDA's weakest points was the lack of believable blood. Many people have said the gore/skin looked like popcorn in the fatalities, and I can't disagree. Unfortunately I remember seeing in the second trailer Hotaru's fatlity on Ermac, or was it the other way aroud, where he grabbed him by the legs and smashed him repeatedly into the ground until his body parts were scattered everywhere. The fatality was good, but the effects seemed unrealistic once again.

Will the backgrounds be desctructable?
The environments have become interactive (a HUGE plus) but I would like to see the arena take damage also. In MKDA, when a projectile missed its intended target it would continue on out of the picture. I would like to see that projectile destroy the part of the arena's walls (if there are any in that level) as a result of the missle hitting it. If MKDA had this detail, a prime example would have been on the Acid Bath level. If say, Sub Zero's freeze missed and continued on to hit one of the acid buddahs, it could break the glass leaving the acid to spill and form a pool on the arena floor, thus creating a new hazard.
-And now since there are multi-tiered levels, if your life meter was at 'danger' and you cant afford to take a hit, your trapped in a corner an need to escape you could break a barrier yourself and jump down to the next level, to continue the fight there.

And when will the walls be able to be used in kombat?
I would love to see escape moves like backflipping off a wall (like Sub Zero against Liu Kang in the 1st MK movie) to escape an attack, and turn the defender into the attacker.
How about using the walls to propel yourself into a kick attack (again like in MK: the movie, where Liu Kang uses the wall, many times, to jump off and spin kick his enemies.)
Even just being able to slam your opponent into a wall, leaving them a little dazed, and allowing you to a free attack would be awesome.

And finaly, I would like to see the fatalities become more realisitc too. I think (from what I've seen) MKD has many imaginative fatalities, that look MUCH better than MKDA's (another terrible feature of that game, excluding Cyrax's and Kenshi's) But (maybe I'm alone in this) I would one day like to see a more life like death, less creative and more realisitc. For example, if Baraka had won a fight he would simple grab the squeming defeated foe by the neck, lift them off the ground, then pull them towards him, while at the same time ramming his blade through their stomach. Or maybe a character could just walk up to the opponent and snap their neck (like Shang does to Liu Kang in the DA intro.)

So those are my points, I'm sure you'll disagree with some of it (or all) but those are some simple additions that could be added, if not for MKD, then for MK7. I realy think it would enhance the gameplay dramaticaly.

If you agree or disagree, or have YOUR OWN ideas on how to make the game more realistic, please post.
