MK HD Kollection

Re: The Arcade collection look

Yup finally the classics separated, not like trilogy which kinda sucked in my opinion, anyone else had the problem with that game that you couldn't throw her/him off the Pit2 in the N64 version? (the one where you got the top down view brainsplatter)
 
Re: The Arcade collection look

I still haven't seen any proof that the "HD Collection" was anything officially being worked on/thought about by NRS. The only thing that came out were those fan made screenshots done with high res backgrounds and remade sprites. It's really annoying how many people are obsessed with it.


I get the impression that the majority of people here only know the original 3 games as console ports. I can see why you wouldn't be excited about re-releases of those. If you've never played MK 1-3 on an actual arcade unit you really need to get this collection.

Yes, MAME exists and it offers arcade perfect quality (obviously, since the games are rom dumps of actual arcade boards). There's a couple issues with that. One being that you need to know someone else who has MAME configured to play online, and the other is that the roms are illegal unless you own the arcade board (and 99.9% of MAME users don't). I'm not going to front like I don't have MAME installed, but let's not keep going back to that as the go-to talking point on why a 360/PS3 collection isn't needed.

My biggest question so far is what kind of achievements are going to be added. Will they be individual in each game or generic "beat arcade mode in all three games" style? Also it's going to be funny seeing the old timers whomping ass online in these games until the youngin's catch up.

Finally, I really hope MK4 gets added at some point. All the wink-wink from NRS seems to suggest they're at least thinking about it. It would be nice to see that game get its due, as stated before the arcade version was actually pretty decent. The two strikes against it was it being so different from MK3 in being the game that took the series 3D, and how none of the consoles of the time could handle what the arcade hardware could put out which made nearly all the home versions just ****ing horrible except for the PC version that only like 10 people played.

It's not really a "problem", they just didn't put it in the game because they would've had to shoot all the new actors from that angle.

the UMK3 on console had way more characters, didn't it?

Not way more, just two more. And one less. They added Rain and Noob, who were horribly broken, at the expense of Sheeva who was taken out to save ROM space.

Ahh makes sense. I had the SNES version which had Rain and Noob (no Sheeva, obviously) but also had the hidden characters unlocked right from the start - so the character select screen had more characters than I saw in the screenshot.

Re: The Arcade collection look

Is this going to be sold via marketplace or in stores with its own packaging? Or is that information not released yet
 
Re: The Arcade collection look

Was really hoping for Trilogy to get a treat this time around, there is no MK char as fun to play as MK2 Jax in trilogy with his nasty combos and running hehe
 
instantly buy this no matter wtf the price is nrs is not dumb they will give wat fans want new actors sprites in hd sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk alllc lassicsssssss in "HD WTF collection sdfsdfsdsdfsdfsdf
 
It makes sense that this would come out 22 days after the 4th dlc character. Should be enough time for fans who are getting bored with mk.
 
Is anyone going to the comic-con here....???? Some one should try asking what's the deal with the images John Montenegro put up. Maybe they can give an indirect answer about future games like they normally do hahahah.....
 
well i think your getting excited about nothing as that was last year, pretty sure the version we have now is that version as i read some where they dropped making it HD as it would of been more of a remake than a port of the original. Would have had to use new actors for mo cap etc may have just cost more than it was worth i dunno.

"kombat hd" in search

Watch Mortal Kombat HD Kollection for PS3 come up. (its still listed on that UK website still to)

call customer service about its release and maybe they'll tell you the same thing they told me. (I had to mention I was asking about the HD Kollectoin for 40$)



They might tell you like they did me the game is coming out Dec 27 2011 and I could pre-order......

Up until this day people still dont understand that John Montenegro's images are MOCK UPS....a "preview" of his talents. A test run of what his talents and his interpretation of how HD would be.
This game was neither officially canceled or confirmed. NR studios changed their minds and told Other Ocean to go with whats out now. This does NOT mean its going to come out but it also DOESNT mean it will never come out just the same. If this game is coming out.....that would explain why NRS changed their minds with Other Ocean and went to Patrick DelMastro and how his resume claimed he was still working on the game.
Then a few short months later we hear about the Kollection we have now. An why? They know the Kollection we have now will still sell. Its a good spring board for the HD Kollection and of course to make more money in the mean time.
For the HD version DelMastro worked on every thing that Montenegro worked on. Props, Environments(in other words every thing thats worked on out side the actors of the game).

Props would be the wood, steal, etc in Test Your Might. The life bars an such....and then environments = stages obviously.

Believe it or not, its still up in the air. Again, it was never officially canceled or confirmed.

I personally dont believe they couldnt finish the game with out knowing what hard ships are ahead and then just scrap the whole idea. Any thing is possible though....

Food for thought.

Agreed, but I believe it will be Mortal Kombat Trilogy HD instead of three separate games.

THAT WOULD BE A sick IDEA! sick as in GREATTTTTTT!

:P

Oh and as an unlockable for beating the game in FIRST player ARCADE, they can give us an ACTUAL 100% ARCADE PORT of MK1, MK2, and UMK3 (which currently we only have a 76% Arcade perfect port of)!...
