Hey there Mobster! Cool thread..guess I'll get off my behind and post.
GAMEPLAY
I would like a little faster movement if possible
I would really like to see characters have their OWN poses.
I would love to see stage interaction (I don't like DOA, but I love how they do it). It just makes for more interesting fights..instead of saying "Yeah, then I punched him and hit him with a fireball" you could say "Yeah, then I hit him with a fireball, he went off the edge, then I jumped off and hit him in the head!" Multi leveled stages are just fun for me.

Stage fatalities anyone? Seeing those beautiful backgrounds, with no fatalities (and WORSE, ideas for fatalities in the krypt) still ticks me off.

A tekken force type konquest mode..heavy on action, yet very heavy on storyline. Perhaps the characters that do not make the lineup in MK6 could appear in the MK Force Konquest as cameos.

All the subtle stuff I mentioned in my What I Miss rant....toasty, the pink question mark, secret characters popping up to taunt you at the beginning of a match, popping out of hiding behind a tree, etc. speaking of which..

Secret characters, at least 3. And not ones you unlock all at once for beating konquest. Come on, make it REALLY tough! Make us have to FIND them, or at least try to figure out how to access a question mark on the screen, and when we do find them, make them incredibly hard to beat so that once we DO beat them and gain control of them, it feels like we actually DID something.

Different weapon techniques for different characters. It just kinda ticks me off how Kenshi & Scorpion and Kano & Hsu Hao have the same techniques. Kenshi & Scorpion are same weapons, I realize that, but Kano & Hao?

Weapon fatalities.

I think we all would like more options as to how to finish opponents. Pit fatals, multiple fatals per character, and yes, I like the babalities. It was just a cool concept-you fight a guy that is so bad you didn't even have to use block, and for the ultimate insult, you call him a baby by turning him into one!

Online play to re-create (sorta, in a cyber sort of way) the dead arcade experience with MK

TOASTY!!

Big, bad bosses at the end, which make you think in character : I have hardly a chance against someone this powerful..but I must win..I MUST. Shao Kahn, Kintaro, and Goro, I believe, all gave this sense of urgency. In the past two MKs, however, you look at Quan Chi, Shang, or even SHinnok, and it's like "Big deal..you're just another kombatant I can choose on the screen".

I would love to see another krypt, but a little less heavy on the useless funny stuff and a bit more emphasis on secrets that affect gameplay.

Find a way to do ring outs and get rid of the barrier. Or at least have the barrier be able to be turned off.

CHARACTERS
Not much for making up new characters, cuz Ed won't listen to me anyways lol But I really would like to see Smoke return..ninja or otherwise (perhaps those could be alternate costumes). Rain would be cool..gotta admit, I love the ninjas.
I have read the new character ideas and I love them!
I would love to see noob back, and have him controlable if you beat him. One neat thing, to make him tougher to fight at first, is to have his level very dark, making it hard to see him.
As far as returning moves go, I would love to see Sonyas leg grab and Cyrax's net return. Reptile's force balls were cool too.
FATALITIES
Not much to say here, what I have read so far from you guys is great! I would like to say though that having a resident evil type fatality with cyrax's net would be so cool. Even if it is just a square that shoots out and takes off the guys arms, legs, and head.

STORYLINE
Now that I think about it Mobster, it does seem like they are pulling a "Lord of the Rings". I would love to see Reptile as the Dragon King. Not sure about the Kano Kang soul thing..I don't think that is going to happen. I do think the Quan and Drahmin thing happened, and THAT would make for a very cool sub-boss..just a mutated freak with drahmin's head on top, arms sticking out all over the place, Quans head writhing in pain, sticking out of DRahmin's chest, eh, you get the idea. I'd even be happy to see that if he was only a secret battle to fight and moloch was a sub boss.
As for the souls in the Dragon Kings army already (they at least did quite a few of them before they lost), I would think they still remain in the bodies. Wouldn't it be cool if Li Mei returned as one of them, under Reptile/Dragon Kings control?

Just some ideas

Skave

I think that for MK:6 they should bring back animalities, friendships (they are amusing), and more fatalities. MK:5 was great, but alot of the stuff in the Krypt was pointless (however, cooking with Scopian (SP) was great). Graphics are great but multi-level arenas need to make a comeback. Keep the fatality stance. And where is the Toastie(y?) guy? That was also funny.

It would be, probably unrealistic for the makers of MK to do, but awesome, nonetheless, if they mixed the concepts of MK, MK mythology, and Megaman. They could have you select a character of good, then make levels for all of the evil characters (with many new good and evil characters) and after you defeat a character, you gain his power, making you stronger. This would also make it easier to develop a storyline, as well. Mortal Kombat and Megaman are my two favorite video games, which is probably why I think this would be a great idea. Again, the likelyness of this happening are VERY slim, but this is a wish-list afterall.

Other than that, I would like to see the same as many other people have posted: more fatalities, new characters, more secret characters that are hard to get (many of them as well, they should use every character they have made up), and most importantly, a great storyline.

don't put chat rooms in MK6. That would be lame. 90% of the time people aren't actually talking about the game. It's also a place for internet geeks to call people "newbie" and act all arrogant. Not to mention chat whores. Just let people send messages in game.

I would like to see realistic character designs.
None of the cartoonish looks which makes MKDA look pale in comparison when compared to other fighters like Soul Calibur 2 or Dead or Alive 3.

Just keep the graphics up to par with Dead or Alive 3 or Virtua Fighter 4.

The character designs weren't innovating. The characters looked bloated up. You can make Scorpion buff without making him wide. Look at DOA3 character models and you'll get an idea what next-gen really looks like :)

Well, i haven't been here in a while; however, since I saw the annoucement of MK6 I had to come see what everyone was saying :)

My Wishlist....

Characters

Kitana
Baraka
Rain
Sindel
Mileena
Sub-Zero
Frost
Kabal
Raiden
Shang Tsung

Gameplay

I can deal w/one fatality, but it should be unique. If I have to see my favorite character Kitana do a dumb kiss of death fatality again, I'll flip.

I would also like to see weapon fatalities as well. Other than that the gameplay from MK:DA was great.

Chars:
Liu Kang;
Smoke;
Noob Saibot;
Ermac;
NightWolf;

Playable Bosses:
Motaro;
Shao Kan;
Goro;
Moloch;

Moves:
Scorpion- Teleport;
Sub-Zero- Low Freeze, and High Freeze, and some ofensive move like trowing an ice rock;
Shang Tsung- Morph;
Jax- Arm Missile;
Raiden- His old move wen he trows himselve at the enemy, and looks like he is flying;
Cyrax- Web/Net;
Sonia- Leg trows;

Arenas:
LARGER;

Fatalities:
Sub-Zero could use his ice powers;
Scorpion- Could use his Fire powers;
Quan Chi- give his old fatalatie back;
Holes in the body after fatalatie performance;

Extras:
Holes in the body after fatalatie performance;

Winnig poses that don't screw up;

Wen the char get wepons they should peick them, I mean scorpion as sword in the back he should pick one, we should be able to see him picking the sword, and since he as 2 sword he could impale the oponent and them pick the other sword;

Endings with full motion videos, but good ones, I don't like the qualitie of the begining movie, that promotional movie from scorpion was good in the internet, you should give some thing like that;

Character editor:
We could choose the fighting styles; weapon style, and then select hair cut, eye color, face; body, arms, legs, cloths... and had some special moves, 3 or 4, would be great;

In the test your might we only should press only one button, I have heard so many cases of people who screw up their controlers.

Some mode like force mode in tekken;

We could move and chage style before the fight begins;

button to run;

Give us all the promotional cool movies, not incomplete issues, and allow us to make the intruction buttons to disapear in order to see the image better, since there's going to be online allow us to send stuff to the internet, like some cool movies and images, from the game;

Complete biography of each char since MK1 (we could unlock this whyle playoing konkest, and then see it on kontent);

The fire from Blaze and Scorpion is great and realistic, but would look better (and that's what matters) if there was no black smoke, or could be turned on or off, since some people may like, I think it's great, but does not look beautifull;

Arcade mode with story before each fight, so Friend like Kung and Liu wouldn't fight, becouse they wouldn't, and the story could go diferent, if we chose to kill or not to kill our oponent (perform fatalatie or not);

1p vs where we could select our char and oponent;

Team battle;

Turn Guard damage on or of;

Special moves should be quiqker and the char should not stay in pose so long;

Each char add 2 endings, one would be great like if he wins everyone, and everything goes good to him, and another one the true ending that would fallow the story to the nxt MK game;

Natural imunities, like Kenshi would be imune to the noob saibot blind move, and fire atacks could not damage Blaze, Sub-Zero could not be frozen; and Scorpion shouild be imune to spectral atacks like fire skull from Quan Chi;

Cool efects like if 2 fire balls hit against each other they would explode without damaging anyone.

Wow, I actually thought that MK:DA's graphics were pretty good to me. I think that the only cartoony looking character in MK:DA was Quan Chi. All the other character models seemed good too, but then again it is your opinion after all. I was actually impressed at the amount of detail into the models and the backgrounds as well as little touches such as the bloody footprints, etc. Of course, the graphics should be enhanced even more for MK6 and future MK games, but I am more concerned with the gameplay.

im bored but as for the graphics comment i still play NES every chance i get it really is the best system IMO because it has countless games that are just amazing

too many too name i love 99% of them (cept like barbie and the sesame streets kinds)

I have been a fan of MK since it started , mainly because it was one of the First games that made me step back and say "Holy Shit! i can't believe this is on a Video game" It was the Game that "we weren't supposed to play"

This brings me to my suggestion:

There should be more, MUCH more frighteningly real , Gruesome Fatalities, Gore, Bonebreaks and BLOOD! It should continue to push the envelope and frankly Piss People off!!!

If I wanted DOA or Tekken, I’d buy them. I love what they’ve did with MK:DA. The fighting engine is great and they could just tweek it a little more but for the love of god PLEASE give me the SHOCK AND AWE felling I got when I first laid eyes on MK1 when I was a Kid. I want MK6 to be the kind of game I wouldn’t want my child to play LOL!!

Really if anyone saw the DOOM 3 preview pics, they are going to the extreme and why shouldn’t MK6!!

I want to see Organ Eating, Disembowelments, Murderous Stabs, Screems, Sheeva-like wails when a Female character gets her kidneys stabbed out by sharp objects. I want to see life-like organs being maimed in a sac-religious manner!!! I want fatalities that would make Hannibal Lecter Puke in disgust!!!
When Kano does a heart rip The camera should zoom in on his hands as it beats before us as he begins to crush it in his clenched fist!! When eyes fall from a person’s head, A.K.A. Kenshi’s fatality, he should squash them like a cigarette butt.

I want to see and Acid Bath fatality that slowly burns the flesh off of each characters body and the sizzle of the skin , the incineration of bones from a fire pit!! The Shiver inducing thud of limbs being lopped off in a Fan Fatality!!!
Give IT TO ME FOR GOD SAKE!!!

P.S. “BLIND KENSHI” , We are not f’n retards, He’s not wearing a wrap over his eyes and not looking in the direction of his opponent for fun!! We can figure out he’s blind. Just Call Him Kenshi Please!!

I think it would be cool to have all four elder gods be in the next game i'd like to c wat they come up with. I think that they should model Fujin after trigger's fan art in the fan art section. I also hope that they can redo ninjas both male and female so that they aren't just pallete swabs.

I would like to see smoke come back as himself witth kick ass weapons and killer specials and a killer weapon like two kitanas connected at the handle and they can be disconnected.

I am a martial artist and i would like to see the style of tang soo do more accurate in this mk game. the reason i say this is because i study tang soo do and i got mad when it was not shown correctly.

i think smoke should have the style of tang soo do.

supertim1 Wrote: animalities and brutalities those would be crazy in 3d

Yeah man, that would be ill to see. Imagine that in 3d.....They could even do a circaling camera angle around the two fighters as the brutality is performed. Even do some hits in slow motion like in MATRIX. And animalites, that would be cool, maybe the background could change into animal teritory too, just for a sense of the animals background. ANd then definently lots of BLOOD... I want to see 3-D blood this time, like in MK 4 but not so crappy looking (big stupid triangles ) anyways. Good ideas bro!!!

ok bring back the run stage fatalities a fatality for each style a weapons fatality no barriers all the characters come back xcept bo rai cho hsu hao and either quan chi or shang tsueng and maybe kano if not lui kang in his body. drhamin is not back in his earthly form (possibly the first kung lao) kill off blaze and mokap or bring back as secrets and give em fatalities like the rest bring back smoke fuijin and tanya add a new shokan another nomadic baraka a new ninja male and female and another robot and maybe another oni like moloch and drhamin

And So FAR thats it

1. NSTANT REPLAY-Sometimes after I've worked hard to kick butt, I'd like sit back, relax, and see my work from a spectator point of view!

2.BRING BACK BARAKA, he is part of the heart and soul of Mortal Kombat. Please make him look like he did in MK2 and not like he does in the picture and video of MKDA. His costume in both of these is too PRETTY AND HE DOSEN'T LOOK AS SCARY. His COLORING and DETAILS HAS BEEN CHANGED.

3. Costumes should be changed, not the character completely. Jax is a prime example.

4. INSTANT REPLAY

5. INSTANT REPLAY

6. BARAKA UNCHANGED

7. BARAKA UNCHANGED

8. CLASSIC FATALITIES AND NEW

9. INSTANT REPLAY

10. BARAKA


11. COMPUTER SHOULD FIGHT IN DEFAULT AND ALTERNATE COSTUME

12. GET RID OF THE CARTOONISH LOOK, REFERENCE MK2

13. BETTER SIGNATURE MOVES ATFTER WINNING A FIGHT, SOME OF THEM JUMP AROUND AND BOUNCE AROUND LIKE IDIOTS!

Dude Baraka "the heart and soul" ??
give me a break . He had one appearance and in MK DA Quan Chi destroyed his ass. He's not coming back ...he sucks and he's Dead!

I'd rather see Ermac return before Baraka.

The heart and soul is :

Scorpion
Subzero
Kano
Raiden
Sonya
Cage
Shang Tsung
Kung Lao

It'd be nice to see some other new characters with those.

They should def. bring back Kenshi from MK DA and the origional Core...that's about it.
I'd like to see some origional stuff not some re-hashed uncreative crap like bringing back Rain or Baraka....those guys were lame.
Why not bring back Kai or Sindel for that matter. I want some new kick ass characters.
Kill off Mavado, Hsu Hao, Lei Mei, Drahmin, Moloch, Bo rai Cho and Nitara.
Bring in New Blood more fatalities and Pit Fatals with online play and you've got a game!

Lose the Konquest and return "Pong" as a mini game.

i wonder if anyone will actually read this. Maybe they`ll get a work experience boy to do it or something.

Realistic characters- the old mortal kombat characters were photorealistic because they were photos of people. My advice- forget about cg endings and stuff- get in some real people to play the characters, and make accurate models of them in game. (can get them to do their own motion capture too)

DO NOT give them big eyes and tiny noses like in DOA. IT IS WRONG.

Obviously, it`s easy to list stuff like better cloth and hair simulation, more lighting effects, shadows et al, but i`m sure the programmers will try as hard a possible on this anyway. BTW anyone notice the glitch when the fat puking guy is on the floor his trousers rotate in a peculiar way?

I`d rather see more realistic fighting styles. Having so many for each person is a tad annoying for a casual gamer like myself. Also some of the styles seem a bit lacking, making you wish they had an extra simple move, like a basic punch or roundhouse, which is there in one of the other styles.

Blocking. It looks a bit poo where the blocks consist of just holding a general block all blocking pose, which blocks swords and things!- at least give everyone shiny metal wristbands!

Create a character would be good, if a little complicated. (choosing moves etc) I`d suggest a simpler `dress a character` mode. (not just crazy accesories though!). Actually create/choose a face would be nice too.

Better physics. Not full rigid body simulation, not just pre, um, animated animations- something in between.

Blood- make it actually stay on people rather than running off like teflon jelly.

Already mentioned, but if the weapons are to remain, at least have them appear from somewhere!

more...

a parappa the rappa style patterns/kata mode

Also i want to see the sun appear/disappear from behind the clouds and hard shadows to then appear/disappear etc.

hmmmm.... i would like to see

the RUN command return

multiple fatalities for each fighter (good ones)

raiden's teleport

replace jax's beret with his bandana from mk special forces (u know, with the long ties in the back- kick ass huh)

delete bo'rai cho

delete hsu hao's stupid hat

keep the same fighting engine but give some characters more special moves (esp. Mavado)

KREATE-A-KOMBATANT mode !!!!

bookoo hidden characters (this made mk what it is, get some ninjas in this beyotch)

each one of reptile's evolutionary states as alternate costumes (green ninja from mk1,2,3, the mk4 halfbreed look, and the godzilla look)

to go with the above wish - hell, give every character at least 2 alt costumes instead of just one.

tag team like in MK:TE and cap vs. marvel

smoke as a playable human Lin kuei warrior with smokish elemental powers and moves

the return of a badass Noob Saibot

and if we can't have Fujin in the game, at least tell us his whereabouts. last we heard, he was SUPPOSED to be the gaurdian of earth while raiden was elder god.

those all shouldn't be too hard to fulfil, most were probly already mentioned but i didnt feel like reading all 170 posts. but i know boon and team probly are! most should be easy to do like jax's bandana, more special moves, reptile's ninja outfit, etc. the only one they would probly have alotta trouble with would be the Kreate-a-kombatant mode (which is probly the most wanted wish of all) peace

oh yeah, i thought of more

pit fatalities

i see a team thing surfacing in mk. lin kuei, red dragon, black dragon, special forces, white lotus. i'd say, bring in one new character from each team (personally i'd like mavado to just kill off kano and be done with the black dragon) maybe sektor can start a ninja klan that rivals the linkuei. dunno lets keep wishing fellaz!

i`m pretty sure this will be in mk6, and probably wasn`t in 5 because of time constraints- ring outs. I want to see what happens when someone falls from a great height, or into acid bath, a lake of molten lava, or water full of piranhas, crocodiles, sharks with laser beams strapped to their heads, or ill-tempered sea bass. Does that make me a bad person?

more...

i`m annoyed by the way all fighting games have always the same camera. How about an option to have some other camera views, like rotated 45 deg around from the normal side-on view?

Fixed cameras would not be possible at the mo since the d-pad is currently used for jump/duck and for movement, but if 2 of the shoulder buttons (say l1,l2 on ps2) were used for jump/duck, then the analog stick could be used for movement, like in devil may cry (so you press the way you want to go on screen). Bit of an unusual system- i`m not sure if it would work well.

howabout if the game times out with noone victorious, then instead of both players falling over, something could actually happen to kill them both.

For instance, a load of zombie soldiers could overwhelm them, the platform could lower into an acid bath, tip up, cave in, rocks fall down, spikes drop down, worms come out of the ground (a la dune), flesh eating beetles (a la the mummy). etc.
