I would also like for *Shao Kahn* to be in MK8 as a normal playable character. His return as a playable character should involve him trying to regain his throne.

Shao Kahn is the only "BOSS" that I like out of all the other past and present bosses.

1) Fluidity: Must improve the animation

2) Dynamic gameplay: No auto combos, but natural fighting with options

3) Playtesting: Get rid of the infinites, the glitches and the cheapness!!

4) Humans only: No more monsters. You can make imposing bosses or characters without giving them ten arms or horse legs.

5) Endings should be real: No more what-if scenarios. They do nothing but mess up the congruity of the overall storyline from game to game.

6) A return to the tournament formula: This was one of my favorite aspects of the first MK and it can be done from game to game with good writing.

7) Unique Characters: No more one size fits all gameplay. Jax should not fight like Kitana or Liu Kang for example.

8) No more realms: If you can't make them interesting, then don't make them at all. Outside of Outworld, this has unfortunately been the case.

9) Kreate a Kharacter: I would like to see this return, only much more fleshed out. People should be able to recreate any MK character from the past so that people won't miss the old characters in the new game. That's just for starters though. There should be thousands of clothing, facial features, fighting style and special move options.

10) Cut scenes: Like Twisted Metal Black, MK should have cut scenes for the intro, the middle and the ending for each character. Oh yeah, and how about this? The ability to watch all of the cut scenes together as one movie after you've unlocked them all?

11) Single player modes: There should be a LOT more modes for fighting offline. Not just story, versus and practice. How about tag team?
11a) Survival?
11b) Create a tournament? (you and 3 friends offline select 4 fighters and duke it out until there's a champion or you and 15 people online select a fighter)?
11c) How about a team battle mode?
11d) How about 4 players in the same match? The list goes on and on.

12) Fatality consequences: If you rip a guys heart out in the story mode, he shouldn't be available at the select screen when you continue. But if you don't kill a character, they should be available, and you pick up that characters story from the beginning.

13) Realistic fatalities: No more 18 rib cages popping out of one person. But also, fatities should be cut scene quality, and there should be close ups of bones snapping, realistic blood spilling from a hole or wound, tissue being shredded etc. In other words, bring the shock factor back.

14) Grown up plot lines: Make me care about the characters. I want to hate characters for who they are, not how they play. I want to see plots involving love, trust, tragedgy, triumph, intrigue, mysteries, suspense, etc etc. I also want to see characters that aren't pure good or pure evil.

15) No more ressurections: There shouldn't be a belief that "no one ever really stays dead in mortal kombat." Deaths would carry more weight if a character who dies in a storyline actually stays dead.

16) Combine the old with the new: There has to be a better way of combining the fast, special move laden gameplay of the past with the modern 3D fighting games on the market.

17) No more extra modes: If you want to create an MK action game, or RPG, or kart racing game etc, than make it separate. Make a whole Mario Party style game with minigames like Test your might, MK chess etc, but don't waste time and resources on putting this modes into a numbered MK game because they add nothing and take away from fighting modes.

18) Super Unlockables: A myth in past games, I'd like to see a roster of about 10 characters to start with, 10 that are unlockable through the story mode and 4 super unlockables, maybe a character or two from the past that would be very surprising to see again, and a character or two from the story modes that seemed to be on the fringe, but players that I'd want to fight as, and make them hard to find.

19) No more standardized secrets: I want to see secrets in th game, but not in krypt of 600 or whatever. Allow me to unlock worth while secrets through playing the game, not buying them. Also, make the secrets worh finding. I like the trading cards, the interview content, alt outfits and hidden characters (maybe even art for characters that didn't make the final cut or differences in the look of a character at the beginning versus how they turned out in the end) but leave out the huge amount of crap that isn't even worth looking at, much less unlocking. Besides, alot of this stuff should be available as bonus material that should be unlocked in bulk. One big secret.

20) Koins: I think that they should bring these back, but for two specific purposes. First, if you're going to have a ton of stuff for create a character mode, then you should have to purchase it. The MK team creates this sort of Forbidden City (in appearance anyways) and you have a shop for clothing, a shop for outer look (everything from facial hair, earings tattoos etc) and a dojo for special moves and fighting styles. You also use the koins for wagering against people online or at home. It's just a little something that adds to each bout. This could remain relevant if the MK team supports the game by putting out downloadable content.
20a) Downloadable content/store released expansion packs: Not just new outfits, special moves etc for kreate a kharacter, but perhaps new backgrounds, a new character or two, and patches for fixing F'd up aspects of the game. They could be downloadable, or for maybe five or ten dollars, you could buy it at the store for those without internet access for their systems.

Well, that's what I've got so far. Thoughts?
