That looks ten times better than it just fading to complete darkness, now I really wished they would have simply darkened them, being able to see the arena actually really heightens the presentation of the fatalities.

Here you go. Oh, But you'd rather have the black background.

Yup, I'd RATHER have the black background, that's exactly what I've been saying this entire thread, you really know how to read between the lines.

No. For the last time, I do not give a shit, either way. You can stop posting pics too, I've done the 111-111 kode on my own game on several different levels, and honestly I didn't care either way. You have yet to accept my point that my focus is on the fatality during a fatality.

And hey, I get it, I get what you're saying even though you think I don't. Seeing the background during a fatality adds to the atmosphere for you, I get it, and that's fine. But not everyone cares. It would be nice though if you didn't make such a big fuckin' deal about it, like those people who bitch about Kitana's hair looking awkward or Sonya's fatality not making sense. Those are nitpicky things that do NOT need it's own thread, just like this one.

Who cares what YOU focus on, Who are YOU?

Here......





Sorry for trying to bring some color into your life.



Agreed.

"Who cares what YOU focus on?"

Oh I'm sorry you were talking to someone else this entire time, my bad.

I'm done trying to get my point across to you because you obviously don't get what I'm saying. You just keep posting pics as a response, like after seeing one I'm going to have an epiphany and completely agree with you even though I already understand what you're saying because you've been saying it in every post.

Yes I was talking to the people in this thread who agree.

Why you are arguing with me over this obvious simple fix is beyond comprehension?

Why you started a ranting thread over an obvious simple fix is beyond comprehension.

Made the title friendlier, Be nice.

Fair enough.

I understand the complaint. I too enjoy the classic style of simply dimming the lights, so to speak, of the old games. But I also don't mind what they did with it now. It still works, gets the point across, and looks just fine. I'm not a huge fan of total blackouts, but if they blacked out the fatality totally then I'd be pissed. (see classic sub-zeros fatality in UMK3, what the hell is that crap??, still irritated by that to this very day! That's one of the most bullshit fatalities ever! Cripes its not like the game was rated freaking teen!).

But if we are going for classic style, I will go you one better: How about ditching the 3D view when performing a fatality? I think it would look awesome if it just stayed in 2D, and didn't zoom in on it. The old games just went right into the fatality where you stood. Looked great, and they happened so sudden it was a bit of a shock to peeps that were watching. Now it's long and drawn out.

However, I still enjoy it. I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it. I understand its a simple fix. If they fix it, great. If not, then it's no skin off my ass. Still think its just fine the way it is. If they do happen to adjust that, then its just an added bonus in my view. Which is what I think they were intending with the T Mode code. An added bonus. At this point, it's out of our hands. We don't work for NRS, so we just have to roll with what they give us. Unless there is a major outcry over this by thousands if not millions, then I doubt they are gonna do anything about it. It's just the way it goes man.

I'd take the dimmed out lighting over the complete black out. IMO during fatalities like Scorpions "Split Decision" when he kicks away the torso, it looks like it goes into well..nothingness instead of after he kills them, you see all the body parts on the ground (if camera was adjusted accordingly)

Also in, lets say The Courtyard, when you're done the fatality, they could have all the monks,and probably even Shang Tsung too, stand up and clap at the victory. But due to the blacked out back ground, there's like nothing afterwards that could have been there.

And well, I just think,by that picture of Kitana doing the fatality in Goro's Lair, it looks much better dimmed instead of completely blacked out.

Thanks for the pics KITANA, also I think the arguments about this simple feature is getting a little out of hand here.

Was simply an open topic for discussion, Not trying to argue. I just thought it would be nice to have this look.....



As an option, In the Gameplay Options.

Actually.... I still would like this feature added. Just thought some others who don't even know it exists, Might like a menu option for this as well.

I wouldn't mind this little feature either, idc that much but it would be nice.

So this is more important than things that matter like balancing? The fatalities get boring and frankly some of them get close to going to far. Some are humorous and babalities are great, but ultra violence without comedic relief makes some look like a bad b-horror movie. Kung Lao and Noobs weren't that necesarry in retrospect. Just glad NRS made decent enough engine to satisy real fans while giving "bloodthirsty" casuals what they wanted to.

Whew! Sorry - got that off my chest.

By far not the most important thing, Duh.

Possibly the simplest thing.

To add an option for something already in game, And none accessible with out cooperation from another.

I wouldn't waste my time asking for something difficult to add.

@Inferno, Have a Scorpion avatar suit for 360, If you like.

Fair enough, just making sure you weren't putting this above other more important things.

I agree, the finishing moves looks bettter when tournament mode is enabled but is that the only thing the mode does?

That actually does look cool. The Blackening doesn't bother me. But in tounamount mode it looks way cooler.

Believe me Fenix, I am totally aware of certain balancing issues along with my biggest concern.... Online.

But...

These are obviously things brought to NRS's attention by thousands.

Most people don't know about this Kombat Kodes features. No one online ever types in the correct other half of the code. And it's inaccessible during ladders.

And I truly believe it's as simple an addition as printing the words....

Fatality backgrounds On- Off,

Right under Subtitles. Simply think NRS overlooked it in all there hard work.



That, And takes away the first hit Super meter bar reward. And takes out most foreground objects.

damn, i was kinda indifferent on the issue before, but seeing those pictures of the fatalities with the backgrounds look awesome. a simple menu option wouldnt hurt, would it?

Exactly, people can turn a simple thing into a major thing and yes I will take the suit thanks.

I'll PM you the code. Does anyone want a female one for Scorp?

Also will take more pics for examples.

Just a couple more pics so maybe some of you can see the difference.
Remember these are crap quality off screen shots but, You get the point.









And, I didn't want Tanya to have to see this, But.....



She probably thinks she's next.

No one wants a female Scorpion avatar for 360?

Oh yeah. Much much cooler.
