This game is a call-back to how the 80's were and everything about this game shows it. No matter what I say, I think you'll hate it, but I respect your opinion, just like I think that Freddy Krueger is one of the better characters in MK9 and hope Jason gets the same treatment.

I generally find it a bad choice to begin with. Both with this game and with the whole Freddy Krueger in MK thing... And I really hope NRS have sense enough in their heads to not give Jason an appearance in MK, not even just for fun. But that's a discussion for a whole other topic.

Something like that, yeah.

You're so clever, changing the words in the quotation of my post...

I agree. While they weren't terrible games, they weren't exactly masterpieces either and yet some people never choose to acknowledge anything wrong with them. Yet when a new company makes a game that has similar properties to those games, the hate horde just descends at ridiculous levels on this poor company. Maybe some pent up rage at a new target?

Oh, there were definately flaws with those MK games. Going full 3D was a bad choice made by the MK team, in my opinion. I liked the character designs in those games, but gameplay wise, they were lesser games.

I still find Death Cargo to be even lesser, concluded from what we have seen so far.

I think they should not go further with this game, they're just wasting their time.

It better get ported to consoles. That's all I'm going to say.

This.

Cancel Death Cargo and start over, trying to come up with some original ideas to make the game unique in some ways and... for the Lords' sake, come up with some better character names and designs...

This.

They should continue and work on making improvements to make all the haters into fans. Let's face it, no amount of hate is going to change anything about this game and trolling them only makes you look like an utter troll.

I can't believe how clever people are to change the words when quoting someone. Oh the intelligence lying behind it, so utterly amusing...

Lurker, if you like games like this one, then that is completely alright. There's nothing wrong with that, you have your opinion about it, like I have mine about it and others have theirs. But at least see it for what it is... A non-original rip-off with some fancy gore-graphics.

I have nothing against your opinion, it's just that I'm trying to prevent people from trolling this company like they murdered their families or something. If you look around 2 pages back, you see some people being proud of leaving troll comments and acting like they're the innocents when they get banned. I respect your opinion but please try not to troll them.

Oh lords no, it's just a game. I can just choose not to buy it... which is exactly what I will do. However, I was just stating my opinion about it, that's all. I would never consider trolling them, that's just utter stupidity.

But like those who are hating on the game, those praising it can be just as bad. For example, I posted my opinion about the game in youtube, and I was immediately called an idiot by someone claiming to be the one behind the MK Project mugen game (not saying he isn't, but I have no proof of it), just because of my negative opinion about it.

Rather childish, really. There's no need for such moronic behaviour, but knowing how the internet works, people are generally behaving moronic towards people who don't share their opinion about something.

It's rather sad, really...

I have to agree with this. Indie company or not, It's either go big or go home.

This game doenst look like a Mk rip-off. The game may be inspired by the violent nature of MK, but that really doesn't make it a clone. Art style, music, character design, and plot (what I've read of it) seem very different. Only thing that looks somewhat borrowed is fatalities....but Mk isnt the only game that's has finishers.

True, this game looks like a rip-off of many fighting games, now that I look at it... Plasma looks like K' from King of Fighters who have gotten one too many kicks in the face. Leach looks like a slimy version of Hulk mated with Hugo from Street Fighter 3. The gameplay even looks like it's coming from those games...

My apologies for saying it looks like a rip-off of just MK. My bad...

When they say copyright review, does that mean they're in trouble with licensing or are they copyrighting the IP or characters?

And every FPS is a ripoff of Mazewar right?

It's a fighting game.... it is a fighting game that is debuting late into the history of fighting games.... Of course it is going to look like various other fighting games that have been around for a while.

While I am not trying to say that this game is 100% original, you are giving it such a negative attitude. I think it is somewhat of a good thing that they are trying to take positive elements from all of these different games and combine them. While the result looks iffy as of now, it is still nice to see that someone is trying (although these damn demo delays say otherwise) to make a good new fighting series.

Sure some of there original ideas (mainly some of the characters) suck, but like I said, it is a new series and if this game does fine and they decide to make another one... I am sure they will have some direction on character ideas based on the feedback they get on which characters are enjoyed by people.

Regarding the release of character themes, sure MK and other games have done it before but if I step away from that and just listen to the music for well...... the music itself, it is actually pretty good.It is music that I can relate to the character from what I know about them so far. The MK themes were pretty far off from perfect (Except for reptile's) so it's not like we are comparing them to the holy grail.

Believe me, I don't think this game looks great or perfect, but it is nice to see that someone is trying.

Keep in mind that you should first judge the character by backstory.

They're using real people for the models, and if they don't have a lot of money, their initial ideas for characters may not have been able to be fully realised on a small budget.

Wow at all the loathing and debating in this thread lol.

All I have to say is that even though I see Death Cargo as a poorly animated piece of throw up, at least it's doing it in a style that's been long abandoned.

I also have to say that at least these people are making a game. If any of us went forth with whatever ideas and concepts we have in our heads, we would generate our own little club of haters too. But that's not to say we won't get fans if we tried.
All I'm saying is that it's their first try despite being a shitty one. Let's wait till it's complete and then let fly with the spectacular criticism.

I'm actually working on a game myself, and I have to say, I'm not really liking the game design choices they're making.

Like the Death Rips for example. Having to film and enhance that for each character must have been a huge chore.

And for what, they're not even well made. They could've just done a Fatality rip off instead.

I agree with you about the Deathrips. Normally I applaud taking the hard way to get something new, but in this case their trying to hard to be all realistic that it looks so dumb and cheesy. I think it would have been an improvement if they took the easy way out and did Fatality ripoffs.

Still reserving judgement until I can actually play something. The new-ish demo video on their site shows some pretty significant improvements over that first-demo build they released.

I actually dig the ridiculous art style, over-the-top violence, and music score. It's sort of celebrating the campy sci-fi/horror genre. I think a lot of MKO users here seem to be missing the point with the project. It's SUPPOSED to be a bit ridiculous. It's like watching the movie "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" and getting pissed off that it's not "The Shawshank Redemption".

From a technical gameplay standpoint, the game still has a "stiff" feel to the animation so that's a bit concerning but again, until I can actually play something I'm reserving judgement.

"Already exist movie-like intro sequence befor the fight, and Short Interactive movie sequence for the story mode. But mostly features in story mode are extra playable content with different gameplay, like side scrolling fighter. For example there are stages where you have to fight using your character against many unplayable monster, like in Final fight.
"MOVIE ENDING" and "in between fights" can NOT be produced for many reasons: realization cost, disk space (the game already need 2 dvd space) realization time, etc etc.
Maybe we could take in consideration, after the game release and seeing the fans response, to produce a movie, related to the game. But it's soon to say this.

No, seriously... What? It turns into a beat em up? Oh god, oh man, oh god, oh man, oh god, oh man
