do the backgrounds suck?

I want to see some more arenas with color. I know they want this game to be dark but I really hate all the blacks and greys in all the arenas
 
Lol they aren't going to change the music.
WHOEVER is over at NRS designing the music, they have a fetish for movie soundtracks.



Whatever happened to fast paced tracks like this? That offered a sense of suspense and had a unique sound?




The rain in the background, the eerie guitar, the occasional scream of "Alright!". That is what modern MK music should sound like imo.
 
So, are we pretending that none of arcade MK games had brighter colors? And neither did any of the official adaptions?

Also, I wonder how many of the posters here going on about darkness support Donte May Cry.
 
How is the market out place? Outworld may been been under an oppressive rule, but it's not a sparsely-populated apocalypse. I don't find the colors vibrant, it looks pretty drab to me with a narrow color range consisting of mostly yellow and brown.

This sort of goes with my idea of animated shorts but I kinda wanna see some of the outworld characters like Melinna, Baraka, Shang Tsung, and Shao Khan shop at the market and see what kind of crap they will buy and how they will haggle with the merchants
 
I am hoping to see a stage with water at the fighters' feet. For example, this stage from MKvsDCU


I'm sure they can make the water turn red from blood as the battle progresses, which I think would be great! Hopefully, it can be a "New Edenia" 25 years into the future. Here are some pictures of what the background could look like.

you can compare them its not about resolution its about the initial design.

Go take a few screenshots from the game itself and then do a comparison. You might be in for a heck of a surprise.

how are these not "dark" enough??
 
The backgrounds are great. I love the outworld marketplace. Most of the people complaining want the same rehashed levels from the last 10 games. It's about time we see something with a little more life to it. I'm sick of the static backgrounds with very little going on.

This X 1,000

The sepia color palette gives the Outworld Marketplace the same kind of MK9 Shao Kahn Coliseum gloom vibe, IMO.
It feels like shits about to go down, like in the days of the Roman gladiators.
 
So, is there a rule against having brighter colors? Last time I checked, the Romans, the Aztecs, and other cultures known for fighting other cultures all had brighter colors.

Nah.
It's more of the trend of "IT'Z NAT DARK N' GRITTEH ENUF, LYK TEH BATMUN MOOVYS, OR LYK WHORER MOOVYS" mentality.
