Oh wow. THAT I didn't know. Explains fucking everything. Yep. There will be no fighting from this dude. I actually didn't realize that he was so detached from the game development. I thought he was just an idiot at this point.
Off topic but I love your sig OMFG. It's little things like that is the reason why I hate these fucking games nowadays. I love me some nitara and frost. WB/NRS is soo dumb they have a money maker right in front in of they're eyes, dey too blind to see it. Im in the minority of when I say this but..... fuck guest kharacters. The moment MK died for me was the inclusion of guest kharacters. I dont give a crap how much $$$ they make or market stragey to gain attraction from the kasual audience. You NEVER put guest before MK kharacters, I already can tell the MK 12 roster is going to be shit. The triligoy cast takes up most of the roster because the kasuals will cry if all the Ninjas or Mileena miss a game. Jax,Cage,Sonya, Kano, Kung Lao, are still lingering around. Like why? They are dead weight and is pushing the franchise back. I want to see fresh faces, no just the 3D era (my favorite) but even some of lore an rummored kharacters we havent see before. Imagine the Water God, Hornbuckle, Jataaka, Tasia, Nimbus TerraFaux, or King Jerrod made the roster. Yeah it would be head scratcher at first but thats how you introduce the kasual audience to tthose kharacters that only the hardcore fans knows. I just hate how they abandon they're kharacters to keep making news ones and repeating the same cycle over and over. What they dont understand they are slowly losing the hardcore fanbase. the kasuals will only stick around for the hype or if a guest kharacter is in but what I am getting @ is the hardcore fanbase is the heart and soul, we have been they're since the begining and the "dark times" aka "3D era" and we are here now but its only so much that I can take. I have given WB plenty of chances but each time they seem not know what they're doing. I have been saying for years that MK IP would be so much better if it was owned by someone else.Nah nah. Fuck dat. I am way past believing that WB is standing there specifically behind NRS and telling them to do that shit. Batman Arkham Games didn't have retarded monetization system and shitty modes, Hogwarts Legacy didn't have it. If WB was really the one running around telling what to do, all of the games would be affected to similar degree. Do they have influence? Sure. Do they make gameplay decisions? Fuck no.
We already got enough proof that NRS itself is a mess.
NetherRealm's self-sustaining culture of crunch
There's a snowball effect happening around crunch stories in the games industry. Last week, Polygon wrote about years o…www.gamesindustry.biz
Not to mention the constant leaks of info during MK11 pre-release.
Also as a studio that is making a money maker, they definitely would have a say among WB executives. Executives can be as retarded or arrogant as they want. MK is one of their golden boys. I can't imagine anyone retarded enough to compromise a golden goose of their compa... oh wait. Right... Kathleen Kennedy exists.
Still the point is. MK11 doesn't even look like the game "TRIED" to be fun. They just threw random shit in and saw what sticks. Cause no way in hell, you can make me believe that MK11 variation system was created with innovation in mind. Hell they added A.I battles to artificially increase "play time" and people are now seeing Hogwarts Legacy ads in MK11... Cause that's why people spend 60 bucks on theirs games... so they can see ads.
Yeah nah. WB has some influence, but the real cancer comes from NRS itself. If they really gave a shit, they could easily leverage their position and fight shitty ass decisions. But they don't, cause they are ones making them.
Yep, His job is just looking at other peoples art designs and mechanics for a game and going ''Well that's a thing.....does it work?.......whatever.....ship it!'' Most of the PC ports are outsourced by WB so he has little to no say there and just plays dumb when interviewers brings it up. It been that way for a while now.
Yeah I can't say no to that. Ed should be able to bring back the cooler elements of MK. But I still that's because John Vogel and Tobias aren't there.Nah nah. Fuck dat. I am way past believing that WB is standing there specifically behind NRS and telling them to do that shit. Batman Arkham Games didn't have retarded monetization system and shitty modes, Hogwarts Legacy didn't have it.

Really?......Skipping 12 just to go back to 1, as in MK9 version 2.0?
This thing is looking more and more like a reboot.
"What if we put 3D era characters into MK1?...."Really?......Skipping 12 just to go back to 1, as in MK9 version 2.0?
This thing is looking more and more like a reboot.
Welp, Shang Tsung's Aftermath ending could have at least given us maybe a look at ChaosRealm and Seido with a continuation of that storyline and having characters like Havik and Hotaru potentially with decent roles, but no..... Likely the same 3 realms all over again (EarthRealm, Outworld, NetherRealm).
Like how they put Quan Chi and Kenshi in MK9?
Why not? They can cram as much as they want since it's yet another reboot. Remember, Ed did say they were working on "representing 3d era more", or something like that....
Remember, Ed also said on the GiantBomb interview that MKX on PC would also have a perfect port at launch and lied about that?
Liu Kang's ending MK12 was suppose to be reboot anyway so there's nothing new coming with that teaser.Really?......Skipping 12 just to go back to 1, as in MK9 version 2.0?
This thing is looking more and more like a reboot.
I bet if Disney owned Mortal Kombat Nitara, Khameleon, Ashrah would be A+ Listers They think they know what the fans want Its no secret that WB/NRS has no clue with tha fuck they're doing. They keep catering to the kasual audience and thes FGC dudes. I have no clue who this sonic guy is but its obvious bias m that is dividing the MK Kommunity. Ed Boon has this wierd obession with the trilogy era every game its always some sort of recton or reference to MK2-3. MKX was not a MK 4 remake idc what anybody says. I say the stories were better when they were in the hands of Vogel, Tobias,
