Here's some possibilities:

First and foremost, I just want to thank Midway for including Subzero as an unlockable playable character for MK:Shaolin Monks. I think it makes up for MKM:Subzero due to the games flop. I feel that letting us play as Subzero is sort of an appology from Midway, lol. But I'm glad to see my favorite character playable in this game.


Now on to the next games:

Scorpion - There's a lot of fan support for a game to be based on Scorpion, plus the fact that he's Ed Boon's fav. character. This would mean that you're playing as a ninja in an action adventure game. Sound familiar? (Ninja Gaiden anyone?) people outside of the MK fan base would assume that this game is trying to take the role of an American made ninja game based on Scorpion, and would immediately start comparing it to Ninja Gaiden.

Then again, I think it would do quite well. The fact that Midway has the power to utilize the Unreal Engine 3 needs no further argument. I would love to see Feudal Japan with these enhanced 3D graphics. Some elements could be borrowed from the Tenchu games that include stealth kills. The game should not only be based on stealth but action adventure as well. There should be a combination of stealth+weapon & hand to hand combat + ninjitsu tactics all in one.



-OR-


A game based on Smoke:

Yes. Smoke. Personally I believe he has a lot of potential to have his own game. The game would start off by showing how he became a member of the Lin Kuei Clan, and Subzero's friend in his human form. I see him as the sort of "spy" of the LK. We would then learn how Smoke stole the fighting tactics of the Shirai Ryu Ninja clan and what not in MK2, all the way up to MK3 where he abandoned the Lin Kuei when they started recruiting members to transform them to Cyber Assassins like Sektor and Cyrax. Smoke was captured and killed by his former clan and also became a Cyber Assassin. The game would show how his soul is still in his new artificial body and his quest is to regain his memories.

Then points of the game could lead to MK Deception where his automated body was left in the outworld (in Shao Kahn's Palace?) and how Noob Saibot aquired him to make him become Noob-Smoke. It would be quite incredible to play as Noob-Smoke in an action adventure game, but some how implemented in single player mode. Also it would develop Smoke as an individual character on his own and not how most people see him as a copycat of Scorpion.


Well that's my 2 cents. Post your opinions/thoughts/comments.
