... then MK11 happend, it was awesome nostalgia ride with cool plot twists like Sub-Zero being stroggified instead of Smoke, but it did not include amy novelty and left us with cliffhanger...
... then MK4 - MK4 shortened to like 1,5 chapter, with Cage replacing Liu Kang with power up pulled o of ass (Dragon Ball), then it was a n utter shit story focused of new, not-so-mortalkombatish characters wich lead to Shinnok round 2.0...
... after that awful MKX abomination seriously, I didn't know what to expect from MK11. It ended with few shenanigan fights which lead to ANOTHER armageddon and ANOTHER reboot of history.
Question is, it is even a single point to follow that storyline further? I mean, every meaningful arc has been finished in this gaem: bad dudes trying to regain control of Lin Kuei are dead / defeated (Frost, Noob, Sektor / Triborg), Sonya FINALLY killed Kano and she did it twice (lulz), vengeance of Scorpion is ultimately fulfilled (making his own clan, burying the past, convincing his MK2 self to abandon his obssession), Outworld is united under a peacefull rule of Kitana, Liu Kang finally regains his champion status after more than 20 years since MK4 release date...
My point is, what's the point of draggin' this nonsense further? Yeah, they can expand the lore and make Titans the new enemy, they can reboot reality with simple role-swapping like Bi-Han being killed by Hanzo in Mythologies events, Fujin protecting Earthrealm instead of Raiden, turn Special Forces into nazi and Black/Red Dragon into freedom fighters etc. but it would feel so cheap and predictible it makes me wanna vomit.
How about prequel, like events from 500 years ago about The Great Kung Lao defeating Shang Tsung and being killed by Goro?With rooster made of bunch of king-lived / immortal characters like Raiden, Shao Kahn, Onaga, Shinnok, Fujin, Quan Chi, Kitana? With bunch of new characters like Taja and Vorpax from MK: Conquest?
Or remake of DA/Deception/Armageddon turn into single gaem with cinematic story?
Or Shaolin Monks type that covers (original) MK3 events, a journey through post-apocalyptic earth, fighting centaurs suqads and soulless Lin Kuei cyborgs?
What do you think guys? I know MK is know too big to being discontinued but is there a chance to release something interesting, which will be faithfull to original MK feel but not relying mostly on nostalgia like MK9?
