What is your hopes dreams and desires for Mortal Kombat 10 outside good netcode?

Heres my wishlist

  • Day one PC version
  • Keep the amazing story modes in the vain of MK9, MK vs DC Universe
  • Keep all the characters from MK9 (minus Freddy and Kratos)
  • Keep it 2D
  • Add Tanya
  • Add Bo' Rai Cho
  • Add Nitara
  • Get rid of Ranked and Player matches and go full lobbys minus the text chat restriction of like 3 words.
  • Bring back Puzzle Kombat
  • Bring back Motor Kombat
  • Bring back Chess Kombat
  • Maybe add Kard Kombat (like a full on TCG)
  • Movado costume for Kabal
  • Make the female faces actually look female

Well GAF?
 
Am I the only one wanting to hold back to block instead of pressing a button in an MK game? I think it could be nice since it was implemented in Injustice.
 
More fluid animations. Netherrealm's eternal thorn in my side. As much as I like MK9 and Injustice, those animations need to be worked on desperately

Better looking character models and damage. Some of the characters still look like shiny toys with generic faces, and the battle damage looks unflatteringly unrealistic

Better looking projectile effects and sparks

As weird as it sounds, they need better voices for grunting and getting hit, maybe mix it up with some short battle cries like "dodge this" or something....listening to Injustice and MK with no video sounds like a gay/heterosexual porno lol with all the grunts and yells

...if they do that, then they would be a solid contender for the 2-D plane 3D fighting top games
 
I'd actually like to see a number of new characters this go round. Bring everyone back and then some but give us a half dozen or so new characters.
 
Heh, one more:

- Add a sound test. I want to hear all the special moves screams and groans the voice actors recorded, preferably since MK1. Would be funny to put them in a playlist.

Silly, but works for me.
 
Add a real Infinite survival mode

Change the fatalities to a sort of ultra combo finisher you can execute when the opponent only has a sliver of health left. Make it a part of the actual fight instead of just something after the fact you do a couple of times just to see them.
 
Much better video quality in the story mode, or better yet just make it in game. The visual quality was way under the highest PC settings and it drove me nuts. The same goes for the audio.

No need to fix what isn't broken.
 
* Less use of meter for your very survival

NR, in MK9 and Injustice, have designed their meter management more for moment to moment kombat and survival....

..because of that, you rarely see, specially in higher level gameplay, any Supers/Xrays. Because everything requires meter.
 
Good netcode is actually the only thing I really want. If there's no improvement then I'm afraid I'll wait for a sale.

Edit: Other than that, I'd like the PC version to be released without delays and I'd be up for some celebrity cameos, so to speak. I quite enjoyed Freddy Kruger.
 
1. Amazing netcode
2. Injustice style training mode with recording and frame data for every move.
3. better balance. no more Kabal situations
 
Change the animation. Though it feels like a lost cause at this point since the last 3 games still have that Midway/NRS flavor.

Improve the netcode to at least AE level.
 
1. No removed characters from the roster. Everyone from MK9 should be in MK10, plus additional characters.

2. No console exclusive characters. PC version of MK9 will never feel complete to me without Kratos

3. Lots of single player unlockables and content. I've heard MK9 did this, so basically just copy that and add even more.

4. Online with lots of modes and netcode that does not suck.

5. Ability to switch between MK and Street Fighter type controls like Injustice.

6. 60 FPS

All I can think of off the top of my head right now.
 
I wouldn't, especially if you keep adding characters again, it will go back to being Armageddon :P

swap out some characters and create all new ones!

I definitely think some characters will be swapped out. The perma-deaths a lot of characters got seems to hint at least some of them will be sitting out the next game in favor of new blood.

Raiden is almost definitely returning, given the end of the last game. Cyborg Sub-Zero's soul may be gone, but since he's a cyborg they can likely rebuild him / restore him. Scorpion and Quan Chi will be back, obviously. I could see Noob reforming and returning very easily. I think Reptile survived, so he'll be back, too. Shinnok seems to be set up as the main villain for the next game.

The bonus characters (Kenshi, Rain, & Skarlet) are likely to appear, I would think.

I think we'll see some new takes on some of the post-MK3 characters (Frost, Tanya, Bo Rai Cho, etc.) and maybe some brand new characters.
 
But MK9 was 60fps on all consoles. (Except during X-ray moves but that doesn't effect anything.)

Hmmm. Somehow MK9 not feels as fluid as other fighters (SF, P4A, BB, etc.). I thought because the game is sub 60 fps.
Still my favourite fighting game of this generation.
