I think you're demanding a bit much. The next gen consoles may be very capable of deliver such graphics, but I don't think we'll see them on MK sadly. I would love the graphics to be insane and out of this world, but the graphics are hardly the most important thing for the next game. The fighting engine is.

That being said, they should definitely be able to get some realistic graphics into the intro and hopefully FMV endings. If the actual game itself can look anywhere as real, then it'll look incredibly sexy!

Hey T ,good things u said ...
I don't now man.... booN should speak with BLIZZARD for the making of the FMV endings and the intro...And with the guys that made fight night round 3 for ps 3 for the game graphics.The MK TEAM should make only the engine of the game.

Despite the fact that such a "reality" in such a game would garner great ethical debate; why would you even want reality? We have reality every day, just walk out the door if you want reality. Reality is boring, reality defies the very intentions of a game, anyways; an escape from reality. I'm not knocking. But reality, sucks, lol. It's all about stylized expression; the underlying, subconcious of a human becomes much more developed when they have abstract ideas to deal with. Which is represented through various styles. MK has to much potential as an expressive medium, than to just waste it on "reality." Meh, anywho.

u suck.

I think that if you want to know what MK7 will look like, or at least what it has the potential to look like, you need to look at screen shots from UT 2007 or Gears of War. Since they use the Unreal 3 engine, it's the safest bet as to what the visual potential of MK is or should be.

For the cinematics, I doubt Blizzard would develope for any other company since they always have their hands full, now more then ever with WoW. But if you want an awesome cinematic, I think they should get ROBOT to do the opening. They did the cinematics for Onimusha 3. Just go to "Game" and then "Video"

MK Reality Graphics....hmmmmmm....?

Well it seems with every generation of consoles the developers are trying to push for more realistic/real-life graphics. Which is fine.

MK should push for more lifelike, realistic, more detailed graphics (since I feel MKD failed in that department). That is fine...but as for other things like gameplay....having that being realistic would be boring.

I agree: Reality is boring and no one wants to pay for it. But getting closer to real-life graphics, I think is not a bad idea.

MK should definitely strike for more realistic graphics and animation. But MK is the way it is through non-reality gameplay, fatalities, etc... which is great.

Anyways hope that made some sense.

Man you are asking to much.
the graphics of the last mortal kombat were very good

Yeah, the fighting engine is most important and that needs to be worked on first and made sure that it's great.

However, since this thread is about the graphics, I will say that I've always liked MKs blend of realistic and unrealistic elements in terms of look and design, and I hope they will stick with that. I think that while human-type characters should look more "realistic" as well as better detailed, there should also be some great elements of unrealism in the design. I really love a lot of the looks for many of the characters like Sub-Zero, Nitara, Smoke, etc.

Aside from the characters, I'd like to see even more detail with the backgrounds so things look sharper. It would be nice if they expanded on the bruises and cuts. It should not only be on the face, but also in the chest, arms, legs, etc. The blood should be watery-looking and not paint-like. I'd like to see blood stains on clothing, weapons, and also the body itself.

One thing I like about MKDA and MKD is that the blood stays on the ground. I hope that'll stay throughout the MK games.

Like tgrant said, I'm sure the PS3 and X-Box 2 are going to support much better looking graphics.
