You know i don;t know what this really has to do with mk, but thank you for posting those, they were awesome.

Because of $$$$$$$$$$$$$

But you can't tell me Shaolin Monks and Deception weren't bad ass when you first saw it. Give me a fucking break. It made me cum on my keyboard.

Thanks for showing us that.
I just think midway or whatever don't spend that much time on it.
To me they are just to damn lazy and don't care that much.

Or would rather save their time to work on more important things like the actual fighting engine? I don't think laziness has much to do with it honestly. Don't care? Seems more reasonable.

That's another thing tho the fighting engine for the last few games are terrible compared to the other games for it's time it's almost laughable.

Phenomenal choreography and cinematics...wow.

Imagine that MK style...

And yea, the past Mk cinematics were really great on first sight (in fact, I still watch those from time to time just for the hell of it), especially MKSm's opener...but they were no where close to that, omg that was nice.

Yeah the Dead Fantasy movies are pretty sick. I have no explanation for why the MK Team can't do anything like that but whatever.

i really didnt the videos...i'm not a great manga-style fanboy and ,even tough i love both Final Fantasy and DoA,i don't like the female character style.
they look like big breasted child with good knowledge of martial arts and impossible moves.
i think that mk style tends to mix up realism(real fighting styles) with magical/mythological elements(fireball,dragons,mutants,etc).
the same as FF and DoA...but in MK8 there aren't superhuman jump,rolls in the air,girls who dreams to be sirens(Kasumi DoA4 ending)...and about the quality i really don't see any difference between this and the opening movie of deception and Shaolin monks.
the dead fantasy videos are longer and maybe more accurated than MK vieos,ok i'm fine with this.
but you can't compare two diffrent games with different STYLE:MK is more adult oriented without any sexual reference,full of violence and "credible2 characters.
DoA is more carttonish,as well as Final fantasy8except for FF8).
and about FF8 is my favourite game ever,better than 7 for me..but FF8 received poor reviews in japan due to his missing manga style.
so i think that midway style is better than the videos posted

I dunno, I really thought those were crappy. I agree with extreemist about the Deception/sm intros... and their effects on my genitalia.

I really loved MK:D intro very much so I keep watching it .I never skip it .

I liked the intro of MK:SM but it was not as good as MK:D though it has more action But the quality of MK :D is just great .
