Mortal Kombat 11 General Discussion Media Thread

You guys talk about the negatives about characters looking like Earthrealmers (Skarlet) but yet they made other characters move away from that look. Shao Kahn no longer looks like just a big human.

Nah, he now looks like a human who has fungus growing on his arms and legs.

P.S That's a joke.
 
The guy that runs the website, said that right now, all he can do is just run the website. I think the guy is really busy and doesn't have proper team for this.
Didn't McCarron specifically ask for help regarding the front page news to begin with? I even recall BBBLP contacting him regarding exactly that, and got no reply back.

I mean besides a mod popping in to add a section for MK11, I honestly thought the staff of this site had largely abandoned it.
 
Well KOmbat Kast is tomorrow, so maybe then?

Sucks. I loved during MKX's leadup where we'd get a trailer at the beginning of the week and then a breakdown a few days later. I'm hoping the reason we didn't get a Kabal trailer is because they have more than just Kabal to show off tomorrow.

Same here.
I have a feeling that more will be shown off, not just about Kabal in MK11, but about the mobile app update as well.
Got an MK Mobile reminder that Diamond MK11 Scorpion will be coming with the next update, and they previously mentioned 3 characters coming with that update, so I wondering who those other 2 will be.
It would be cool if Geras and Skarlet came to the mobile app via Gold Card challenges, imo.
 
We know the Kast is going to a big one, obviously that could mean a variety of things, but at least we can presume we will see more revealed and talked about than just every-bodies favorite disfigured nomad.
 

Ah yes. The same people who will write blog posts about "homophobia", but then call someone a bundle of sticks. The same people who cry about "nekkid wymynz", but then go ahead and masturbate to Magic Mike, Jason Momoa or Fifty Shades of Grey. Laughing stock :lol:

Wait... you're using EA as comparison? AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Man, you're funny.

They can't make a game to save their life.

I typed nothing about them making games. EA is a publisher, not a developer :roll: Sorry bro but you need to downshift, preferably with rev matching. Having another storefront isn't going to suddenly change censorship or make Steam better. Pipe dreams. My verdict on this is final: MK11 on Steam, or no buy.
 
Quan Chi, nah, I hope that he sits this one out, since the timeline merging / time travel pretty much makes his whole necromancer shtick pretty useless.

Certain characters from the OLD 3D era are meh, but that doesn't mean that NRS can't give them a proper revamp like they did in MK9 and MKX for Kenshi, Tanya and Bo Rai Cho.
I still don't like Bo Rai Cho, but he sure as hell is 100% better than his 3D era counterpart.



I'd like to see those 2 in MK11 (Fujin and Havik), but we'll see.

Yes, Quan Chi can definitely sit this one out, guess the story of MK11 will be finishing of the remained revenants and set a new direction of evil for a new game.

Not certain 3D era characters are meh but most of them and I've already listed the newcomers rated. Let's see: We shouldn't forget that 2 of the 3D era fighters have already been in MK9 (Quan Chi and Kenshi). Certainly two 3D era characters that have established themselves. Then we have Shinnok, Tanya and Bo Rai Cho. Shinnok and Tanya were good new characters in MK4 and BRC got a decent revamp, yes.

So what is left from those 3D era characters you always want, that have never been playable in this new trilogy and aren't crap? Only Fujin and Havik IMHO. And I want them very much too. Reiko could be cool, but he'd need a similar revamp as BRC in MKX. Back in MK4 he was just Rain without a mask with Shang Tsung's MK3 eyes.

Through MK4, MKDA and MKD the new characters have gotten worse and worse. MK4 introduced Shinnok, Quan Chi, Fujin, Reiko, Tanya with Jarek and Kai being crap. MKDA's new characters, except for Kenshi, are full garbage in my eyes. I remember me being superhyped to finally play a new Mortal Kombat on my new PS2. And I hated them all, I never used them after trying, they were bland and not interesting. And yes, I only used the "trilogy characters" and Kenshi sometimes. With Deception released I was superhyped again. And again only Havik seemed interesting to me. As for the others: I hope they are gone for good.

So technically we share the opinion of bringing Fujin and Havik back for MK11. Reiko could be done well too.

I will always stand by the statement that Kobra would be an amazing character if they went with their original vision and made him a Ken clone. Shoryukens, Hadoukens, Tatsus, the works.
 
Kobra could be salvaged if they leaned more into the unhinged martial artists side of his backstory, make all his moves really feel like he's aiming to kill and enjoying it. But aside from that not much else I can say about the guy.

That was because I pinged him to ask him. I don't think he'd have got round to it otherwise. Maybe after release.

They directly influence the games their studios make. Dead Space 3 being perfect example. Entire art, game design direction was changed to fit the EA orders. That means they are part of development. If they directly influence the final product.

As for stores. We will see. We have whole year to watch this unfold. So far it is just pure predictions. But fact remains. Epic did what no one else did. That already counts for something.

I keep telling myself to shut down all hopes. Especially if one of the leaks is true and Frost is some sort of construct.

But... I kinda wanna see revamped Frost. That would be really dope.
 
Not even close. Plenty of fighting games have Ryu clones. KoF had one, and then SF made Dan to mock him

Yep. To avoid IP infringement is pretty easy. Just don't use the names and don't do copy paste.

I could add a female character that wears one piece swimming suit and has two braids. She could also user her legs for fighting. But as long as her name is not Cammy and she doesn't wear exact same clothing (red gloves, red cap, etc). CAPCOM can't do shit.

So I suppose SF can just put in a pseudo-Scorpion in their game and call it a day. What could possibly go wrong? :lol:

EA is basically a corporate stooge. I already typed about why so many organisations are bending over. It's all because of that magnificent dollar sign and brownie points. It's good that their stocks are crumbling after their latest stunt, but something tells me just like Disney and the rest of the schmucks....They won't give up and will just double down.
