Kano looks so OFF, haha. The Raiden ending pic is pretty badass!

 

[blame space]

it's pretty insane that anyone thought this was ever a good idea.

 

[Demon Ice]

Kitana looks terrified.

[The Grim Heaper]

Why is this a thing?

 

[Wario64]

site is hammered

lol it's 2 years old

 

[baphomet]

They really should have put this out. Also it looks like III was being remade as well.

 

[K.Jack]

This is pretty bawse.

 

[Replicant]

AWFUL.

Why don't they just remake the game using a really nice model instead and using an engine that's not UE3?

 

[Chamber]

I remember these showing up around the time of MK9's release. Looks terrible.

 

[Hoje0308]

it's pretty insane that anyone thought this was ever a good idea.

I was, and am, one of them. Here's hoping the new movie, game and web series reinvigorate interest in something like this again.

 

[def sim]

Is that lens flare on Kano's eye?

 

[sn00zer]

Very cool idea...im actually wondering why people think this was a bad idea?

 

[SargerusBR]

I feel like i have seen this thread before...

Yep, there you go.

I just learned that Dan Southworth (voice and mocap actor for Vergil from DMC 3 and the Quantum Ranger) was going to play Sub-Zero and Nightwolf. That would've been awesome.

I still want someone to make a digitized actor fighting game with HD assets...

 

[Lonnie413]

Yeah, this was a pretty cool idea, for an XBLA/PSN game. Sad it never got to see the light of day.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I would've bought it.

Should make one thats just a hodgepodge of characters, like a bizarro MKTrilogy/UMVC3.

 

[Shpeshal_Ed]

I as well

 

[LQX]

Looked pretty cool. Would have been nice to see the remake considering 1-3 were my favorites.

Last post in that thread has this:

Impressive stuff. It's not from the scrapped remake, but from a homebrew MK Mugen project. He's still working on it. :O

I hope one day this still happens.

I was laughing until I saw this gif... now I want to kickstart it!

 

[tinders]

The 2 images in the OP of Kitana look like different actors. First is MK2 Kitana, then UMK3 Kitana. Is this just MK1-2 or the original trilogy?

Seeing as the quote at the bottom of the UMK3 pic says something about lost treasure I'd assume you could unlock MK3/UMK3 characters. The blog post also said something about Nitewolf and he was MK3.

 

[bloodforge]

I seen these ages ago.

I'd still love to see a Mortal Kombat Klasic with hd digitized actors. Would look amazing.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Wow, that's insane. What a great idea.

Death Cargo

Make sure to watch to it to the end for the crazy fatality.

He plays Kenshi in season 2 of MK Legacy.

Looks much better than any "2D" fighter with cartoony/cell shaded/anime style 3D polygon graphics. It looks even better than some of the best 2D sprite based 2D games like Street Fighter 3. I'm just tired of anime in fighting games (and in general). I really want a MK game like this, in HD and with plenty of animation frames.

Kano wondering who farted

That looks great!

Yeah heres some various stuff from that Mugen MK HD project:

 

["D"]

HD Remake? Why was this cancelled??

It should be out by Christmas. I wish we got more games like this.

oh wow, 2 years ago

 

[CMSC]

Eugh. Seriously?

 

[Falcs]

Fuck, I'd be down for this.
Why do people think it's bad?
I remember being so bummed when I first saw MK4 and how they were now making the characters all from scratch using 3D models.

 

[Pizza con salsiccia]

Yeah heres some various stuff from that Mugen MK HD project:

Impressive.

 

[shuri]

Holy shit, a fatality test from that Mugen HD remake:

It needs some tweaks but GOD DAMN

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I probably would have barely played it but I would have loved to see this finished and in action. That MK Mugen project looks nuts.

 

[Valnen]

I admit, I actually really wanted this just for how cheesy I knew it would look.

 

[revolverjgw]

A remake of this is kind of boring but I want somebody to make a new game using this technique. It would probably be pretty expensive and difficult for whatever return it would get, however.

 

[angular graphics]

Pretty cool actually!

 

[Red Rudolph]

 

[molnizzle]

So much hate! I would buy the hell out of this. MK and MK2 were some of the defining games of my childhood.

 

[Nick Van Excel]

MK II in HD NOW!!!

 

[Dereck]

HOLY SHIT

I don't know if it would be that expensive, look at Dong Dong Never Die
