sounds like a good idea but wouldn't that slow down the load time?

No, I mean that's when you would not be playing the game. This would not take place at all during loading times. Other words, this would take place when you are idle from the game.

i could see it now....like say you are idle in the main menu for like 30 seconds....after those thirty seconds, a random bio would begin to play and it could be shut off by pressing start for example.....that could work

i like the idea

yeah that would be good, tho the mk team are notorious for taking the easy way out with things like that

Yes. Intro movie for the game.

Intro movie for each character + a text version where they talk about themselves in the first person (like MKA).

Endings should have both narration and a video.

I think that's a great idea. We could have more of a connection with the characters and it would be to see their past played out.

That's a good Idea. They could follow the style of MKDA, where the would have this Intro movie for characters then rotate between brief vs match demos, and katas from characters.

If what Ive heard is true what we will get is a series of videos showing how this games story ties in to armageddon.
Without these vids people wont understand the direction this game is going in.
I have spoken to john today and getting information out of him is hard.
All he would say is the story behind the game is real hush at the moment but expect something radically different from past mk games.
I was able to get this though PLEASE DO NOT POST ABOUT THIS crack it and keep it to yourself.

please dont post the answer thanks all.

They better have videos. With graphics these systems show lately... why shouldn't there be videos?

CHEERS!

im gonna post it, but in a spoiler brakcet so EVERYBODY doesnt have to crack it.

and i think u made one mistake.



if this is the case, it has already been discussed, i recall somebody mentioning it in another thread claiming he had inside sources.

sorry for posting it but i figured id save them all the trouble of deciphering it.

if you would like me to remove this still, even tho its ina spoiler bracket, i will, just msg me.

as for this subject on bio's or a story thing, i want cg intro's and outro's for arcade mode, each unique and CANON to its character.

Yes i've always wanted animated endings with the last generation MKs. Now i believe they have the power to do that so i'm hoping they are good on time and will add this little/big tidbit.

Would be pretty nice to have that, doesn't even have to be so extravagant.

They did one video like that for Ermac, I think it's in the MKD Krypt.

Like Twisted Metal: Black? Why not?

Too bad Midway's cheapassed.

It might but there is also another alternative.

I've played FIFA (or some soccer game with my buddy) and you can practice playing while the game is loading. if you can do that i'm sure you can load a video while the game loads and not have it slow down too much. hell now that i think of it Midway can incorporate a test your might minigame during load times. that would actually work better I think. And like I said, other games already have this feature so I'm sure it's very possible.

Again it's up to Midway to be creative enough to implement.

I sometimes think that the MK team still thinks it's at the top of its game and doesn't need to change much when they couldn't be farther from the truth.

Yeah they did one for ermac in MK Armageddon I think.It'd be nice to have those kind of bios and maybe ends?

Longer of course... with more than some idiot doing kicks and punches or whatever the hell Ermac was doing.

I'm iffy on the concept...i think if you're gonna have them animate the bios, it could find more use in a specific section of the game...something like Soul Calibur's been doing it lately...but not exactly.

yea, on the fence.

What if when you pick the character it starts off with a Cinematic Image followed by a short narrative... afterwards (once the narration is complete) the image transitions to a cinematic opening introducing/explaining the characters. Kinda like if the video was "paused" for the narration to take place, then afterwards the intro-video resumes again. Catch my drift?

Or maybe some painted prologues and cinematic epilogues like Tekken 6 (or somewhere along that path). I wouldn't mind it either way.

It would also be nice to have an opening "taunt" for each character after each new fight (1st round) kinda like in the Tekken, Soul Calibur, & VF5... when the character walks into the arena and gives some kind of gesture or says something. I think MK can pull that off too, only making it more dark and gritty. Now, I'm not saying they should do exactly what the other fighting games do... hell, the more unique/creative/different the better. Though they can learn and get a few ideas, from those other fighters, and still come up with some good ideas of their own.

Video's over written bios. HELL YEAH. Have them in the opening, or make them unlockable content. Anythings better then reading their bio.

yeah, how dare they make us read.......


good idea though i don't know if it'll see the light of day. with the mk team setting there sights high(or so they say) maybe the last thing they're interested in is more fmv movies. that shit takes a ton of time, a ton of money, and a ton of effort. 3 things that midway ain't much on these days. lets hope this "quality games" vow turns out to be true.
