2D fighters are hitting diminishing returns graphically. Don't know how much more they can do.

"how much more can they do?"

are you kidding?

everything in that image can be improved tenfold.

 

[Manu]

No the system needs a rework.

Player 1 advantage
Input bug
Kabal/Kenshi dominating the cast
Meter bug


Also MK9 doesn't have a good netcode. You can't play the game effectively online. Shit is underwater fighting. By far one of the worst fighting games online this gen.



I'm not a junior. Now what. The netcode is beyond shitty.

Oh yeah, I agree with all of this (even if Kenshi is one of my mains lol), but I said it more in the sense that I'd rather have them expand/improve over what they did in MK9 than do a complete rework of the game (like every game from 1 to DA, then again in 9).

But ... Shaolin Monks 2?

they probably have to completely rework the engine though. The reason for p1 advantage is because there are no trades. Input bug is because the engine drops inputs.

I don't see how they can preserve majority of the engine and fixing those issues.

 

[catabarez]

But ... Shaolin Monks 2?

I'm with you

 

[Samir Sedlar]

I can't wait to see how they handle the story after the events of MK9, seriously the story of MK9 was so fucking cool for a fighting game, loved it.

& hopefully when MK10 comes around I will have more time to sink into it, and really try to be a good player.

 

[Tecl0n]

Not even announced and already port beggin? YES. Day one PC with stable online or bust.

I'm sure it will happen. They'll make even more money from a Steam release if it comes out the same day as the console versions.

 

[SnakeSlashRO]

Please, please, for once, LEAVE THE GAMEPLAY EXACTLY AS IT IS IN MK9, just add more characters and improve the graphics. kthxbai

And the clunky animations, please fix that. Look at street fighter, tekken shit any Japanese fighting game in recent years. Game play more like injustice please

 

[SapientWolf]

Please get better artists NetherRealm, the clunkyness is part of what Mortal Kombat is but all the character models don't necessarily have to look like plastic dolls.

I feel like that's a bigger problem with DoA than MK. Although NRS has been going for something more stylized than photorealism.

 

[TreIII]

I can't wait to see how they handle the story after the events of MK9, seriously the story of MK9 was so fucking cool for a fighting game, loved it.

Agreed.

My main thing is that MK10 represents a lot of opportunity to take the story and gameplay in interesting directions. I almost wonder if MK10 will cite Injustice and have "Capcom-style" controls as an option, too.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Awesooome, can't wait to see what comes from this. Along with all the characters to appear. Give me Tremor! Along with Nitara, Tanya, and Fujin.

 

[Rojo]

Dat next gen secret blood sauce.

 

[BY2K]

Next-gen Fatalities.

Gimme gimme.

 

[Zephyrus]

I have a few thing I want:
1- Rain is a standard character and gets to have story mode time. He's an half elder God so it's about time they explore that part of him.
2- Reiko is a playable character
3- Kai is a playable character
4- Shinnok is a playable character
5- Tanya is a playable character
6- Human Smoke stays human.
7- Sub-Zero reverts back to being human
8- Fujin is a playable character
9- The entire MK roster for the first game minus the guest characters, is playable.


Now make me happy NRS.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Every fighting game should have a story mode like Mortal Kombat 2009. MK is my fighter of the generation, but then again, I'm a very casual fan of the genre (I just play for fun).

 

[MechDX]

How about a sequel to Shaolin Monks? Game was all kinds of awesome.

 

[Endo Punk]

So pleased with MK9 that the next MK is already on my buy list when it happens. I trust NetherRealm to deliver again, not really a fan of Xray's though. Think they should just do a SF style super attacks and just concentrate on making the fatalities that much better. Also content content content! And if they are going to do guest character again, please use Jason Voorhees

How about a sequel to Shaolin Monks? Game was all kinds of awesome.

The sequel should follow Sub Zero and Scorpion.

 

[uberluigi]

Hope they ditch the unreal engine and make one of their own.

 

[uberluigi]

This needs to happen, imagine online coop with 60fps on next gen *drools*

 

[SapientWolf]

"how much more can they do?"

are you kidding?



everything in that image can be improved tenfold.

The PC port looks a bit sharper:

 

[katkombat]

New MK is the best fighter this gen, tied for my favorite ever. Don't make this an "arena" MK a la Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon, Boon.

 

[a secret-boss]

Can't wait for the next MK story campaign

 

[katkombat]

Can't wait for the next MK story campaign

Same.

I want some of that Sonya/Jade/Kitana

Spoiler

/Mileena

ass.

 

[giancarlo123x]

The sequel should follow Sub Zero and Scorpion.

Bring Fire and Ice back to life.

 

[LuuKyK]

Cant wait for next gen Kitana.

Spoiler

Netherealm please dont give her a man face again. Thanks.

you're Kat from Kombat Houston right?

 

[The_Joker1721]

Gimme more. Make a sequel to Shaolin Monks while you're at it.

This. My heart still hopes for a sequel.

 

[Suirrad]

I want shaolin monks 2

 

[Astarte]

Bring Fire and Ice back to life.

This, holy crap. Also, bringing back the whole rainbow spectrum of ninjas to play as would be amazing.

 

[Ol No Bones]

Yay

 

[J-Tier]

They've learned a lot from the latest MK and Injustice, so I'll be keeping an eye out, the next one might actually be solid.

 

[histopher]

Call me when they can hire decent animators/modelers

Yup. I know they use mocap but somehow none of the moves and especially stances are even slightly convincing as martial arts. Its just horrible to look at.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I am wondering how intense the game will get with next generation technology. MK9 was disturbingly violent in some cases. This new Mortal Kombat might even get banned lol.

 

[Dolphin_Butter]

The netcode is beyond shitty.

Full agreement here. It can be tolerable if you're close to the opponent or the person knows how to forward their ports properly, but MK is just above KoFXIII in the netcode tiers. Their room/lobby setup, however, is about the only positive I can think of as far the online experience goes.

 

[katkombat]

you're Kat from Kombat Houston right?

nah, I noticed it was a common name for those types of things (YouTube channels etc.) after I had it.

not a wise decision on my part.

 

[moltonasty]

I would've preferred a Looney Tunes fighting game.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Next-gen fatalities. *hnnng/barf*

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

And the clunky animations, please fix that. Look at street fighter, tekken shit any Japanese fighting game in recent years. Game play more like injustice please

Honestly, I think the only way they can fix those, jerky, clunky animations is to outsource it to a Japanese developer. I might be crazy, but I thought MK9 controls felt a little more responsive than Injustice and even animation seemed a slightly smoother to me. Maybe I didn't play enough.

 

[whitehawk]

Give me those next gen fatalities.


The newest MK is 60fps except when you do an X-ray. Falls to 30 then back to 60 when finished.

plus that was a choice to go to 30fps, not a limit of the hardware.

 

[J-Tier]

I would've preferred a Looney Tunes fighting game.

Hahahaha.

Though...that's not a bad idea. TNT, holes in the ground, giant mallets...Marvin with a ray gun, Taz's swirling tornadoes, Fudd's shotgun, Wily's crazy inventions...

Can't believe I convinced myself into wanting this to happen.

 

[RyudBoy]

I somehow feel it's too soon for a new MK.

A late 2014(or after) release would be fine, I guess.

 

[double jump]

hype!
but imma need a few things first

better 3d model artist
better art design period
make gameplay faster
bring back my queen Mileena, reiko, ashrah, fujin and havik


oh and net code should be your number 1,2,and 3 priority

 

[RM8]

Hahahaha.

I'd buy this. Hurts that it's never happening

Yay for new MK. I would only ask for better animation and character models, I guess. I hate that I love Jade's second outfit because it doesn't cover her face Come on, why must everyone be fugly?

 

[catabarez]

Runs 60 on the PC port.

 

[geomon]

Can't believe I'm going to say this about a fighting game but I can't wait for that story mode.

 

[Dereck]

But ... Shaolin Monks 2?

.

 

[SapientWolf]

Runs 60 on the PC port.

Must be a bug. It's way less cinematic that way.

 

[Sigismundo]

So I guess this is the retelling of 4/DA/Deception?

 

[Chucker]

Smoother animations and no dudejaws on the ladies pls.
