Hi, i'm 25 and i used to be a fan of Mortal Kombat games, i remember having codes and codes handwrited in my school books about MK1 and MK2, dueling my best friends on Genesis or SNES and having the best of time...

If you're around my age, you can all remember the controversy surrounding that game, when we used to live in a world without violent videogames and non realistic looking characters...

But ..MAN MK was awesome back then! EVERYONE PLAYED IT...

Now! i'm not saying the new MK's are bad, but it's less of a popular games... It's not having the impact Halo 3 has now for the new generation of players..

So what i'm saying is simple, restart the madness!! Get the franchise back to zero...

The game should just be called : Mortal Kombat

Give it a puppet/human realistic look, realistic reaction (characters swiping blood from their mouth after a big hit, different ways to get back up, characters getting arms or legs broken.. etc..) Make them talk more, with nice voice acting...

Less characters but more way more structured, (Id' go with the characters every casual player knows and remembers) Lots of unlockables and secrets..

Make the game way more casual and classic, no weapons, no scorpions clones..(the red one.. the yellow one, the pink one.,. the white one...)

And keep it 2d with a splash of 3d..

Anyway that's just my 2 cents.. sorry for my spelling i'm french canadian grin

See you guys on MK2 online (ps3) Still having my ass owned there...!!

this is probably the most sensible depiction of what MK8 should be like i've read in this forum.

- except the 2d graphics with splash of 3d, everybody loves and misses the 2d mortal kombats, but if MK is to have the phenomenon value of Halo 3, then it needs to do something far more innovative with its graphics and frontier into something completely new.

i like the ideas...im not liking the less character idea tho,unless KAK returns than i might enjoy it more. oh,and the graphics idea is good too. i thought the same thing...have 3d arenas to fight in but 2d characters with a realistic look...it would be different.

yup, something fast paced, very gory and realistic...

Have you guys ever played CONAN for the 360 or PS3? The game is 18+ and it didnt stop them making the game, and i'm sure it's selling well, it's my favorite game so far on the PS3.. there's nothing like cutting people in half with a 10 foot sword !! It's so violent i've never seen a game with that much gore and blood.. and i liked it... It made me feel "alright! Oh yeah that's no mustache plumber fireball thrower game!"

smile @LycaniLLusion : I think if they make like 60 characters.. at least don't make clones of them... a purple ninja girl.. a blue ninja girl.. HOW ORIGINAL! I like the fact that the characters evolved from the first games.. have scorpion fight with no mask on.. same for reptile... .. anyway that's just my oppinion..Id like them to return to the roots....

if they did go back to the roots of the game...i think that the character names should end. for example...instead of reptile make a new green ninja named snake or something. just so the character is similar but new at the same time. sure its nothing fancy or something that will revolutionise the game but it would still be enjoyable and familiar to the fans. at least i think so. also,i know i said less characters in the game i wouldnt like but not too many either...60 might be much. maybe about 35 with like 5 to 10 unlockables.

Well i think they should keep their name, and have the Original Seven in.

Then add some additional characters...tongue

35 might even be too many. Take it down to 15. Less characters doesn't necessarily mean less options. It means more in depth, well thought out characters who you don't have to struggle with to fit into the story line. I'm going for quality in this game ..... not quantity.

quality is right give the characters more fluid motion. more fatals and just more secrets im not to worried bout how it looks but how it plays.
