A Mortal Kombat VS Killer Instinct game would be sweet though. The only VS game I ever wanted to see happening.

It's a cool idea that's for sure, but it would alienate PS players.

If they did that it would be XBOne exclusive :[ But it would be awesome.

True, that would be the only bad thing... I'm still considering buying an Xbone (which won't be released in Denmark before September) just for Killer Instinct, and now that you can get a version WITHOUT the Kinect, it will be cheaper. ^^

Decided to stop lurking to say;

I am super pumped about a new Mortal Kombat game.

Hope to see developments in the story area in terms of presentation. Maybe not a complete Konquest mode (as much as I actually did love the goofiness of Konquest), but definitely something that flows a bit more than telling the story through 3 or so fights as each character.

Also, I really want to see some badass stuff in the Krypt. The Krypt was great design-wise last time around, but content was surprisingly lacking. Figured they'd have tons of concept stuff from past games they could show. That's the type of stuff I enjoy.

Yeah, I guess the reason I'm excited about what could be considered trivial things is because I trust they're going to deliver on everything else. I feel like the "1 game a year" Midway deadline is what really steered the 3D games in some weird directions. But now that they are NRS, have a bit more money, a bit more freedom, and have already gotten the "reboot" out of the way, I look forward to seeing what they come up with.

I'm getting a PS4 this year and a XBOne next year :P
All I would really play on there is the Halo Collection and Killer Instinct xD

Yeah konquest is deffinetely a better idea than story mode.
I feel the Krypt should have less artwork and more gameplay stuff like costumes.

I hated konquest mode. Whew...there, I said it.

The story mode, for me at least, is a better way of telling...the story(despite its own problems).

Konquest was boring so you're not alone

Konquest Mode was more a half-assed attempt to make a non-fighting game that explained the story. It would've worked alot better if they just had made a full game like that and polish it all.

Why has nobody thought of HIM as a guest character? :B

???

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a lot of people on here would agree with you. I'm actually not sure if I'm in the popular or unpopular opinion when it comes to Konquest.

Now, if they do keep the story mode functioning the way it did in MK9, then I feel as though they should at least try to accommodate for the story a bit more. If playing as a particular character for more than 3 fights and at different times in the game allows for smoother storytelling, then by all means, implement that.

But I guess the reason I still lean towards an adventure-oriented mode is simple. I play Mortal Kombat for the story. I know it's a fighter, so there will always be fighting (duh). But I think we can all agree that MK has an expansive mythology, and one that is worth exploring through means other than just fighting.

So, while "Konquest mode" might bring up bad memories for some, I would still love to see the mythology explored more deeply this time around. Even if they don't call it "Konquest mode".

Story Mode is definitely the better way to tell the story. It's just that the current format of chapters is quite limiting. If they could find a better format, Story Mode would be way better.

Definitely prefer Story to Konquest and it's not even close. MKDA's Konquest was decent, even if the whole thing was just a big huge tutorial, but I despised MKD's. Could they do it better now? Sure, but for that type of gameplay, I'd much prefer Shaolin Monks 2.

For MKX, if they can take Story mode and expand upon it, include villains, some new ideas, etc, I'd be happy. Definitely curious to see what new ideas they'll have!

Would love to see MK vs KI some day, though I doubt it'll ever happen for obvious reasons. Love the new KI though! Orchid, Ms. "Touch me and I'll break your face" herself is awesome. One of my favorites. Can't wait to see what Iron Galaxy shows at E3!

Man... An E3 with new MK and new KI. That's my dream E3 right there!

I was thinking what if story mode was a combination of the two. Like in SM you start of as the 1st character in chap.1 & run around the map like in Shaolin Monks & Konquest until you run into your 4 main opponents for that chapter& proceed to fight in MK9 story mode manner with the MK10 gameplay mechs & then afterwords it goes to the next chapter & you play as the 2nd character for chap.2 & continue the story running around as that character & so on?

Wait, what conquest are we talking about? Deadly Alliance? Deception? Armageddon?

Deadly Alliance had a good one because it went more into depth about each character. That needs to appear more.

I kinda want to see both return. A MKDA type tutorial for a character that covers the story of characters from the end of MK9 and follows them through when they first appear in the story.

Then have the main story focus on Shinnok's invasion (or whatever ends up being the main plot)

I'd love to see a full Mortal Kombat Konquest game one day. Open Realm adventure game with Shaolin Monk type of gameplay.

tfw when Deception's Konquest mode will never return. Why even live?

Good suggestion. I could see something like that working. Personally, I'd want to see it restrained to one large, highly interactive area, like Shang Tsung's island (an example, not a suggestion).

It'd be cool to have a place to explore, talk to people, learn more about the story from multiple perspectives both reliable and unreliable, Kreate a Kharacter items, Kreate a Tournament items (if they were to go that route), koins and who knows what else. All in addition to the actual main story, of course.

Or not. A combo of Konquest and Story without all the extra stuff would be cool too. The idea just got my gears turning, I guess!

Can't Konquest mode be separate from Story Mode? Like a Challenge Combo Mode or w.e and you get some back story for that character each time you complete something?

No MK VS DC 2 either.

Yes ^^

I guess that would be possibe, but i can't see them wasting resources doing THAT, and not especially with the fucked up, current storyline, it would be a mess :-/

Is it just me or is themortalkombat boards site down??
