When was Liu Kang confirmed?

there pictures of him Sid

I still dont understand why there arnt any facial animations and thisthingisdisableds yet, its kind of weird hearing all those screams, and not seeing there mouths wide opened.

yea i wanted facial animations too but... w/e maybe in mk7..

Boon and co are behind Namco's team when it comes to little touches like fine tuning animation of characters and adding details like facial animation.Maybe they can't get the same level of staff as Namco.Hope they at least catch up by MK7 cause the MK series has so much potential.

I agree the standard of models is not the same for all characters,Hotaru,scorpion,DK,Shinjuko,and a few others are quite good while Baraka,Noob could be much better.

I agree that some character models look better than others. Noob Saibot for exemple looks way odd, he looks like a plastic toy with skinny chicken legs.

It's not such a big deal, it just gives them differences and i'm ok with that. Nothing to have a heart attack over..

yea n his hands dont look rite either

i think the mini game bullshit took up too much of their time. for mk7, all i want is the fighting and konquest. fuck the kiddy games. fix the gameplay, combos, and gliches and make it the PERFECT game. why is that so hard for them?

Yah.. the characters look kinda chunky... like plastic dolls.. And all the characters have the same body! All females have the same figure and all males look the same (except borraicho with his sticked stomach)

Because the majority of people would rather bitch about the size of Tanya's tits, rather than a minor thing like gameplay.

Sucks, but that's how it is.

they should use actors from the 2d games as the models

What happened to the clothes ripping?
And bloody faces?

They could either:
1.use a 3d scanner to scan in real martial arts actors
or
2.Employ better 3d modellers.

Too late for MKD but plenty of time to sort this out for MK7.If they insist continuing the mini-games which Boon has said in one of the videos,they should still sort out the main issues also - first priority graphics and gameplay of the fighting game ,after that then the mini-games etc.

a 3d scanner would help big time.. the models would look less cartoonish and more real

LOL, this thread has me rolling. But the only model I saw that looked really bad is Lui Kang. If he looks like the hulk, fine, but he atleast should have a higher polygon count to make have a smoother texture.

Quit bitching. If you don't like it, design your own gmae, if you think it's so easy.

Liu Kang's model does look a little bit plain, but i think that most of the others look quite nice and very detailed.

I don't think we should expect too much from them when it comes to creating graphics the calibre of SC2 or DOA3, lets face it, only now have they started to use dyanamic lighting, Soul Calibur on dreamcast had that and it was released in '98!

One thing that i would really like to see is the body damage and torn clothing that was promised for MK:DA.

We haven't seen a good hi-res Liu Kang yet.

I like him plain like that... I don't really like it when the costumes are too charged.. I like a more realistic, credible look...

I can't believe in what I'm hearing, imo the models rock, I think that guys like Baraka, subby, scorp...geez all of them rock, I can't talk about liu though, cause my pc is all fucked up and I can't watch the recent bios...darn

but one thing that made me think (and I think that this is what you guys are talking about) was an early pic of nightwolf, he was fighting against baraka in the netherbelly, and yes, his model looked a bit like plastic, but I don't know...we will have to see the game in our tv to really judge the models imo

I completely agree. It is how I feel about Scorpion. I loved him so much in Mk1, the ninjas had their best looks in that game.

Simple, yet the managed to look realistic and deadly. Now though, too many additions make them look almost invisible behind the unnecessary charged extras.

Anyway, I liked the character models of MKDA and I most definitely love this models! I really don’t know what’s wrong with them (have not seen the new vids yet). I mean, facial additions and all that it’s something that should be added, but it doesn’t make the characters look like cartoons or like toys without them.

Maybe some characters do need improvement. Maybe they are too charged, maybe they are too simple. I guess it depends on the player. So far, I think all look great. There could had been some improvements on some characters but they still look great.

wow...queve...a couple of days ago you we're saying that scorpion needed an updated on his look, like sub zero and reptile...

LOL, thats why I said only SOME characters need some serious changes.
