Most likely not Mortal Kombat trilogy because that wasn't 3 games in one

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Set the table for MK 2019, I’m excited AF

The simple Arcade Kollection last gen was supposed to be a bigger scope HD remaster with redone sprites and backgrounds. Makes sense to try it again.
If not, maybe it'll be random like ClayFighter, ClayFighter 2: Judgment Clay, and ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut.

I want this:
VS
More (look for more characters): https://gabrielmelendez.weebly.com/raiden.html
The key here is more animation frames. Unlike the SF2 remaster that had super high-res sprites but the same animation frames.

I wonder how they could remaster the original games?

Im not sure either. I remeber about 4 years ago Boon said they tried out to make an MK same as the first 3 with live action actors in front of green screen. But ultimately it was just too sharp and lost that digital/cartoony feel, just looked too polished so they backed out of the idea.
I really dont know how you remaster a digitally filmed performance of a camera from 1992 unless you do it all over again today but with new actors. Im super excited but at the same time, confused how they will achieve this.

There was a game in development called Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection HD which got cancelled before release. Could be that. I haven’t watched the video in the OP yet.

It’s been a while but I remember MK Trilogy being super buggy with a ridiculously cheap AI. Seriously, I played a bunch of MK at that time and the usual curve of Easy, Medium, or Hard didn’t apply; MKT’s default difficulty should’ve been called “Sodomize.”

I don't know. The frames dictate the feel of the gameplay. It won't be right.
If you want to remaster something, the only way to go is the Sonic Mania route. Same aesthetic, same style, just support new hardware.
A 21:9, 16:9 etc. version of Mortal Kombat 1-3 would be neat.

I do think that one could use some sprucing up.

It will, see the other gifs in the site. The attacks are just as fast, the only difference is that there are more different frames in-between. The original MK games also used those frames (they run at 60fps) but instead of many different frames it had tons of repeated ones. It's the same thing, just replace the repeated frames with new ones.
Example:
As long as they can keep the input lag low, it should feel right.

See, to me, that looks/feels wrong. I like the snappiness of the lower frame count.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Wasn't Trilogy considered bad even back then? I think Ultimate MK3 was the last considered awesome game in the series at the time. If not 2.
Those look bad...

MK Trilogy was phenomenal in the roster department, but horrible in execution.
It felt like a low effort fan made mod pieced together so a lot of the transitions and sounds were just abrupt and really buggy. Also the animation seemed to be stiff and halved compared to the stand alone games. But if they did one in 2D sprite-like again, with effort put in, that would be a nostalgic tickle I would bite on, and I never play fighting games like I used to when I was younger/High School.
This fan made Mortal Kombat project here however is very well done:
Mortal Kombat Project 4.1: Season 2.9 is perhaps the best free MUGEN MK game to date

No guys, it's not Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It's the Trilogy of Mortal Kombat, the mk1 mk2 and mk3U.
Would be nice, actually because of mk11 hype and just download a emulator to play 2

Please allah let this be real! MK Trilogy was one of my favourite games as a kid, broken or not. MK9 was awesome as well but then they fucked up MKX and MK11. I'll play the shit out of this if it turns out to be real.

Ah come on now MKIII was a very good game too.
It originally lacked the characters as appealing as II but Ultimate Mortal Kombat III fixed that.
Trilogy combines all of the games together. So it's win win
Unless you REALLY hate the running mechanic.

I think one of the ports was dreadful alright maybe the 64 one? On the PS1 it was fantastic though and Trilogy was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with the 4 big boss characters playable. The boss characters were stupidly powerful but they were just a novelty.

The N64 did have some compromises but no loading times at all was a HUGE plus.

yes it's important to think of this as the "Smash Bros Ultimate" of the first 3 Mortal Kombat games

Yeah! I want it! I find modern fighting games awesome but too complex to master for someone with my time available. So this old school MK is very welcomed if plays like.. lets say... UMK3.

I'm not entirely sure how the later Mortal Kombat games play. I've played them, enjoyed them but I'm not sure if what I'm about to say has been changed already but:
I'd like Fatalities far easier to pull off and especially the stage fatalities. That would be the only thing I'd change.

Well, in later entries each character has like 2 or 3, differents styles or variations of combat wich, by itself adds a layer that must be mastered if you want to pvp.
