I know how you feel about being more psyched for Deception than DA. But for me that was kind of because MK4 left a bad taste in my mouth... i realized it was the first forray into 3D, but it was a bit disapointing nontheless. I think the reason i'm so excited for Deception is because DA was pretty damn good IMO

Sorry dude. Your my friend and all but I have to diagree with you there. It's just that these are the graphics most of the people here have been waiting for.

Maybe it's because they tried to focus more on the gameplay advantages rather than the graphics, did that idea ever pop into your head?

Its still to early to analyzeb the Graphics. With DA the Graphics did look crappy in the screen shots but once it was out on XBOX it looked very fantastic....

So i guess we can only judge this when we actually playing the game.

I doubt they spent that much time on the gameplay, they've spent the time on the extra modes just as much as anything, Mortal Kombat never has been a game that's big on gameplay, that's why you have fatalities, in-game cut scenes after the fights.

I think they should bring back the run button that would help the gameplay and make it faster.I dont understand why some people didnt like the run button maybe it was to hard for them.The great thing about mkt and umk3 it was hard and a challenge.MKDA was way to easy.

I still find the graphics a little cartoonish imo. But the pics released at ign.com are low quality. Just look at the pics and you can see the blurriness around the characters.

It seems to me that trunks (TemporaryUsername) is the only one here who knows wut hes talking about.. If everyone laid out their sources and used there heads like he does, we wouldnt have so many pointless threads.. Mk is the fine the way it is, Thats what makes it MK..if u focused the graphics in another direction..It will look like another tekken vf4 or DOA, Matter of fact line those games up and there sequals and let me know if theres a dramatic differences between them.. You can even take the characters for those games and put them together and the game will go together smoothly cuz theres no originality in the characters.. MK however you cant take a single character and put it in one of those games b/c each character is so original with a great storyline to back up there reasoning..not cuz hes there to prove hes the best by winning the iron fist tourny..
u all get my point so i guess im done here..

I think the graphics look outstanding, and the pics dont do the game justice at all, If you havent seen the vids yet you need to see them, I was speechless when i saw how great the new Fatalities are, And the death traps, i dont won't to spend all day telling how great this game looks, you need to DL the vids in high rez and watch them,

graphics always look cheaper before the games out. trust me you will be liking the graphics plenty once your playing. actually you probly wont care about them at that point. another thing is that the drawing in your sig is a pure drawing...its easy to see that it isnt a 3d render of jin kazama.

I think the graphics look good there very colorful.But the charchter models look awful some are better then others.Sindel looks great she has the right size and look.Sub, Scorpion and baraka are way to huge and tall why cant they just have everybody normal size?

I'll agree with you on that, the run button made many combos possible and made the whole game faster.

I don't get it. How can people say "it's a fantasy fighter. it's not meant to look real" when they used to make the games with REAL PEOPLE for characters? LOL Fantasy, yes. But so are other fighters out there. It's all fantasy. There's no reason MKD should look worse than all of them. Especially since MK used to strive on being the best looking fighter.

To the people saying "it's just screens. they're tweaking the graphics", you obviously weren't here before MKDA came out. We were treated with terrible screens after terrible screens like these days. The final game didn't look much better than the screens.

I've seen some gameplay vids. It looks smooth and fast. But watching on a computer monitor is decieving.

Guys! The graphics are going to be so sweet! Sure, maybe not nearly as crystal clear like DOA (can anyone do better than DOA?), but if you go to IGN.com and look at the previews for MK:D, it's going to be done in High Definition! MK:DA wasn't designed for High Def. The graphics are going to be sharper and clearer than ever before. Sure, the characters don't look like they're real... it's because they're not and they don't need to be. They look real enough for me to cringe when I see somone get ripped in half.

Who should shutup if you don't know what to say.

Hey guys, I played the early version of the game at the E3 show and even in its early form without all of the planned effects turned on it still looked better than MK:DA (on XBOX). The lighting was more realistic and the colors were more natural. I'm sure it will turn out fine so just take it easy and give it a chance. If it sucks when its finshed then that will be the time to turn on "Gripe-Mode".

Right, the graphics in this game are fantastic. The cartoonish look makes it stand out from all the other fighters which, whilst they do look realistic, also look bloody boring! I liked the graphics in MK DA, its refreshing from all the other fighters on the market which look identical to each other. And in this case, being different, in my opinion, is better. Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance is one of the only fighters I own, and that's for a reason.

Every fighting game now looks the same.Mkda graphics look exactly the same as soul calibur and tekken.MK should of stuck with actors that would make it unique no other fighting game is doing that right now.Mk started it i dont know why they stopped and jumped on the cartoonish bandwagon.

I'd disagree. The graphics in Soul Calibur and Tekken look realistic, especially in Tekken. Whilst, ok, Characters like Ivy in Soul Calibur do look quite fantasy themed, but overall she looks real. Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance has a chunkier, more unrealistic look to it.

I agree that mkda has a unrealistic look to it.

If you've seen the trailer on the PSM disc the graphics look nice.The trailer on there is clear it's not low quality.Check it out if you want to see what MKD's graphics are really like.

Its on the August Issue.

I think Boon + co should choose which style of graphics to use, on one end there's realism graphics and on the other end there's cartoony cel-shaded graphics.

MK:D seems to be in the middle that favours none, people in favour of realism are comparing it to Tekken, Soul Calibur and VF because of that half of realism and others who like that cartoony half are supporting it not realising that the whole cartoony idea will see MK becoming more like a Dragonball Z budokai 2 clone, the similarities between the 2 are diffinately there for all to see.

I personally don't like a cartoony look if you're going to have effects like the blood and bruises on the face as a fight progresses. Get rid of the cartoony look or get rid of the realism, either way suits me fine, graphics don't interest me, gameplay and storyline are my favourite categories the graphics can look how Boon + Co want them.

It'z all gameplay
- new strategies near death trapz
- state indicatorz
- danger zonez
- level weaponz
- tierz
- reversalz?(for everyone)

Thank you for your kind words, man.

Why does it seem like all these "MK fans" come here just to compare MK to Tekken, SC, VF, etc, etc. Wanting the game to improve overall is one thing, but it seems like people think Boon should strive to make MK "just another fighter" in looks and gameplay.

And here come the "Hey I'm a MK fan, that's why I can complain about what I think is wrong and needs to be changed" posts. Yes, we like it so much that we can bitch about it's looks, gameplay, sound, story, etc etc over and over again. Get real, if you don't like MK then go play the more "realistic" looking Tekken. I'm really tired of seeing 4-6 different topics created each day about how MK sucks in some way, and none of these topics have anything new to bring to the table. Go to a VF board and post about how much you love it please. And leave the real MK fans to our game.
