Mortal Kombat HD Remix with MUGEN

At the risk of coming off as biased because I've been making music for this game, I still would like to throw my opinion out there. I think this guy's stuff is fairly mediocre. The first track is a bit boring and doesn't sound like MK at all to me. The Character Select is better, but sounds lifeless and digital. Maybe some mastering would help, but there's still little sense of immediacy or impact. I think this project deserves better, to be honest, no matter where the music ultimately comes from.


Hummm could you please post a link or two for the tracks that you think are superior ?

No offense, but when it comes to the select screen, I don't think I have ever heard a remix beating his.
 
Wow, that's really some awesome stuff. You guys are making it looking professional. There are many great sound guys in the community hat would make such an awesome work for music.

Love MK Kommunity. As ugly as it may get, it remains my favorite.


I think they were done well but they remind me more of an SNES port than the arcade version, which was more dirty/thrashy sounding to me.

Actually, I liked your tunes also. Has a movie quality to it. What VSTI's are you using?

Here's the links to the stuff I've posted. I wish there was some way we could have a place where this and all other could be posted permanantly, but alas:

@ Luna and ttas:

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm actually working on the Cavern theme now. Should have something to post very soon! And I use a wide array of digital instruments. A lot of Native Instruments stuff and other various synths. Also any guitars and some of the bass is played by me.

Sounds real nice man, if I may ask, what music software do you use? I've been making music for a long time but am semi-new to the digital scene.
 
The close HP is animated, I'm fixing some things on the model before posting.

I'll start on another animation tomorrow.

This game would come out with mugen, it's not separate like a game for PS3.

You can download mugen right now from the developer site, elecbyte.

Looks awesome Bleed. Do you think his arm is snapping back forcefully enough? It's hard for me to tell without the sound effects and an opponent taking the punch.
 
Scorpion keeps looking awesome :)
I can't wait to see some of the bosses coming to life like that. And I know it's not gonna happen for quite a while, was just sayin' :razz:

Speaking of bosses...I have basic bones inside Shang. Working on skin weighting. Still need external bones for cloth and such. I will post an update when Im happy with his cloth bone controls.
 
If I were doing the animation to my liking, that punch would seem a lot more forceful. I'm following what's in MK1 though, and that's the speed/feeling of the move, as well as I could capture it.

I'm almost tracing the frames and setting each pose to match the timing in the game.

Pose 0 = 4 tics; This is an extra frame to blend from the fight stance to the first frame of the punch.
Extra frames probably won't be used in MK1HD, but I'll use it for my own version.

Pose 1 = 4 tics
Pose 2 = 4 tics
Pose 3 = 22 tics
Pose 4 = 4 tics
Pose 5 = 5 tics

Pose 6 = Extra blending frame back to fight stance.


It feels pretty strong in Mugen, once you add the sound, hit animation and a little screen shake.

Great job, and yeah you captured the feel of the move perfectly. I like it slow like in the original, it's like Scorpion is showing off with that move. I love combining this move with roundhouse kick - it pushes opponent in the right distance to slap a rounhouse to his face, lol. Can't wait to see your roundhouse. While your at punches, maybe try high and low ones next?

That makes sense, great work.
 
This is so awesome. I can't wait for Scorp and then Subzero to be finished! Will be so cool just to have those battles between them.
 
You guys are doing an awesome job! I was wondering if you will have to have a powerful pc to run this game or if the average pc would do it fine? also, I think that Justin's music is hands down the best I've heard on here. very high quality stuff Justin.
 
The first low punch is in Drop Box.
I'll show the animation later, Photobucket is under Maintenance at the time of this post.
