Ethnicity, not literally colour. Her broad nose and wide facial features look very black.

I take it you're talking to me.

I don't need you to tell me how race is defined. I'm an adult and also "black". Still doesn't change the fact that she doesn't look black to me-in this game.

Her having a "broad" nose and full lips doesn't automatically scream "black" to me. I'm black and I don't have those features.

That's not to say anything about what the artist or you see. Not trying to step on toes. Simply posting my observation as you've posted yours.

Not looking to start up anything. Least of all a race debate. Those really suck.

I wasn't saying those were bad features, just an unusual artistic decision to go with for her, features that are predominantly African in appearance.

Uh, I think I might be flamed for this but I dislike Kenshi's main outfit in this one, the whole modern samurai thing just doesn't click with me. It was okay in MKDA but now he looks like MGS2 Raiden.

I hope his alt is either his MKDA alternate or a "traditional" samurai attire.

I think it's overly designed. I mean it would be perfect if we were still living in the "over the top re-design" age of DA-MKA, but it's just not fitting in this particular game. I like the hair though.

But I'll wait for the actual game model and maybe an all new render before I judge.

Yeah I agree this one has way too much going on. Then again I never liked Kenshi's main costumes. I'm praying for a "traditional" or MKDA alt.

AKA "good design".

They were great designs. Truly amazing. But not fitting for this game.This game is all about going back to the simplicity of the original three games. Would be odd to have such drastic departures from the originals.

Save that for the next game.

Wow, thank you too

I'm not sure he'll have any telekinetic powers in this game. I thought I read somewhere that his fighting style would be swordfighting. Maybe this is before Ermac teaches Kenshi. Perhaps in Kenshi's ending, we'll see that Ermac is free from Kahn's control (after the emperor's death) and as a reward for freeing him, he teaches Kenshi... or something like that.

Have you two forgotten that this game acts more like a reboot than anything? If they could put Nightwolf and Sektor in the original tournament and squeeze Quan Chi into every scene imaginable then who's to say they won't just do away with the "Kenshi learned telekinesis from Ermac" tidbit as a whole?

I just can't believe you guys are trying to make sense of how it can happen when the entire story as a whole doesn't make any. He will use telekinesis and I'm sure it won't even be touched on.

Ermac didn't teach telekinesis to Kenshi, only one move. Kenshi can do telekinetik attacks thanks to the connection to the sword.

I actually prefer his MKD primary over this new concept, I like that costume except for the boots. MKDA primary is the best though.

This. I wish people would learn.

Anyone else look at Kenshi and think of MGS4 Raiden?

Kenshi's MK: D primary > Kenshi's MK: DA primary.

My two cents though...

Yes, and I LOVE Raiden from MGS4! ^^

Personally I think that in some drawings in this game Sheeva looks like an indian woman (possibly to play off her name). But that at least in the concept art for her first costume.
In other instances she looks...like Sheeva. Dunno. Couldn't say that there is something about her face that screams "asian" or "african".

On note, sadly, but it looks like facewise she is the prettiest woman in the game. Besides maybe Sindel, but she is old.

Beautiful!!

Thank you so much you guys for sharing all of these pics.

You're saying that like it's a bad thing.

TRONshi looks very Keanu Reeves in his concept art.

Anyways, I definitely prefer his MKD look but this is going back to the beginning so kenshi should look somewhat more klassic. Then again Quan Chi has tattoos all over his body so thanks NRS for giving us the crappy Kenshi outfit back. -_-

lol sure it was. 'Cause man, that Scorpion...both his primary and alt look like he stepped right out of MK2, eh?

That's like one character dude...

I rather thought a single example would be a better use of my time than going down the list of every character whose clothes are as detailed or more than they were in DA and Deception one by one. We all have eyeballs of our own, after all. I shouldn't have to make a list.

That's what classic costumes are for junior, so of course his primary doesn't look like he stepped out of MK2. This is 2011, not 1993(Though I know you would prefer it to be). With that being said his primary is not as complicated as you're trying to make it out to be, it's nothing but his MKVSDC outfit with some few bells and whistles.

You can try to argue that but you're wasting your time-I have eyes, I can tell the difference between the two, but it's not like his MK'11 outfit is that much different than his DC one.

Primary Costumes for Raiden and Baraka proves my point. But should I REALLY be trying to prove this to you? Really? You have eyes, you know this game is all about going back to the first 3 games in every aspect including costumes. Of Course they're not going to look EXACTLY like they did in 1993 you loon, but compared with their last generation designs these are far more "simpler". Which...was...my...point...in...the...first...place.

Won't be arguing with this because it's a waste of time in my opinion, not to mention you live in a deluded world where if you say the sky is green, then it's green. That's perfectly fine, I'm going to let you live in your world-Just don't bring me into it. lol.
