I think you just missed the messages.

Clothing, gameplay (I think it is just animation), art direction overall. Like someone said. You could take Injustice 2 character and put it in MK11. It would blend in perfectly.
 
Speaking of Khrome. I never understood the hate for the concept. Tarkatan_Trash type of opinion doesn't mean much to me, because he gives a pass for characters like Skarlet, yet she was just an accident as well.

I am all up for expanding the roster with brand new characters. But people treat him like he/she is relative to dog shit. Is it because of Toxic fanbase? Cause to be honest. I have yet to meet ONE non toxic Khrome fan. Last guy who wrote on this forum ended up throwing personal insults at people.

One thing for sure. The stages look absolutely gorgeous. It's only the characters that are struggling. Animations look better than MKX, though I've seen the staple MK-stiffness already in some footage.
 
People forget that Injustice is used as a testing ground for Mortal Kombat. They test wacky shit out there, listen to fan reaction and then implement it better in MK.

There was a guy here who would spam threads, posts and polls ALL DAY about Khrome, along with shitty fan art. It just left a bad taste in many people's mouths. He still does it to thie day on Ed Boon's twitter

That's fair enough, sorry for misunderstanding you.



Nobody in the world thinks that Nightwolf, Stryker, Baraka, Sheeva, Sindel, Chameleon, Khameleon, Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, and Shao Kahn are essential MK characters without which an MK game just isn't an MK game. And while some people do think that Kabal/Noob/Jade are essential, it's pretty clear that NRS disagrees and are just fine having anywhere between 0-3 of them in a game.

But is it really like that when Ed Boon says himself that they listened to the people who wanted characters that weren't in MKX?
Baraka, Sindel, Noob, Rain and Kabal were constantly being requested on Boon's Twitter during MKX for KP3.
So, while characters like Sheeva, Stryker, C/khameleon and the sub-bosses aren't always asked for, I've seen plenty of people saying that if Mileena isn't in MK11 (for example) "we riot."
Like, really?!? That's what its come to?
If this fanbase (generally speaking) doesn't get the characters that they want they become like the Reiko douche?

So "the same 27 Trilogy characters" is quite a bit of an exaggeration.

Ok, I'll give you Sheeva, Stryker and Nightwolf, but the other remaining 24 MKT / MK9 characters people have asked for a TON of times on Twitter, reddit, the MK Facebook and other places, so no it's not too far off.
As I said before, Baraka, Sindel, Noob, Rain and Kabal were constantly being requested on Boon's Twitter during MKX for KP3, and Shang Tsung, Cyrax, human Smoke and Sektor were also requested pretty frequently.


Also keep in mind that we're only talking about the launch roster here. There will be at least two kombat packs with 6 characters each. Even if just 6 of those are MK characters, we're already looking at a cast of 32 MK fighters.

That still leaves about 16 spots for MK4 through MKX, and brand new characters. That's... a LOT. I think 16/16 is a perfectly reasonable breakdown for the final roster.

ALSO keep in mind that it's possible to shine through gameplay OR story. Fujin made lots of fans in MKX despite being unplayable. Tremor made lots of fans in MKX despite not being in the story. I think newer characters will have plenty of opportunities to make their mark, one way or the other, or both.

That's cool that you're that optimistic about it, but I'm not.
I hope that I'm proven completely wrong, though, as I'd love to see more of the MKX and post-MK3 characters.

Sure, it's possible to shine through story, as well, but I've been wanting more playable 3D characters in this new era of games since before MK9 dropped, and it's been 2 MK games in a row where Fujin is teased / trolled as a character yet not playable.
Again, I hope that I'm wrong, but with the track record of MKX dropping with 16 of the 25 being from MK9, I'm sorry if I'm not as positive on the matter.
 
I would be fine with the option to give the ninjas a different color...the problem is their costumes look so similar to one another. Yes, there are torso/leg options, but they are all variations of the V-shaped tunic that we are all familiar with.

Yeah, I've been saying the same thing. We have game glitches and rumors turned into characters, and yet an accident in a toy factory is somehow not good enough. Perhaps they could turn him into something like T-1000, could shape shift arms into blades/crowbar/whatever.

Hm. Fair enough. Interesting concept ruined by overzealous individual.

Me and about 15-20 million other Mortal Kombat fans.

As for Pink, Green or whatever color Sub-Zero or any other characters. I don't really care. As long as I get a choice to change to original color on all of the clothing pieces, I am fine with that. I will just make sure to body anyone who will make their Scorpion white, or Sub Zero Pink. I think it will be a great motvator for me to improve my skills.

Ninjas should be visibly recognizable by a single color, otherwise they're completely out of character. Sub-Zero can be any color, so long as it's blue, otherwise it's not Sub-Zero.

Agreed, but the difference was that Khrome was an accidental creation by a 3rd party place, and 1 of the workers had named it that as a joke.
NRS has never made fan creations and / or 3rd party creations into actual characters in games before.
The ONLY time that NRS accepted a 3rd party creation is when they did a drawing contest for MKX and the winner got their Scorpion creation made into a costume ("Kold War"), but that was a contest and it was for an already existing character.
Aside from that, NRS has never put fan/ 3rd party characters into an MK game, so it would be weird for them to start now.
If NRS created that toy factory accident, that would be a completely different story.

Yeah I think people can clearly have an opinion on if a character's face is attractive or not but the quality of the fidelity is clearly head and shoulders above any non NRS fighting game and even more impressive than Injustice 2. All 3 arenas look great especially Shang's courtyard, great atmosphere there. It would be cool if that arena has a past and present representation, like one where all of those dead monks are alive and shang is sitting in the throne and then the dead version we've seen.

It really was ruined too. Khrome is taken as a joke now because of him. The April Fools kombat kard background in MKX is Khrome. He then took that as confirmation that Khrome was coming to the game, and spammed harder
 
I also REALLY hope that the song in Geras' trailer is an actual track in the game. That's the kind of music we need in MK. It actually stands out and isn't just gibberish that nobody will remember

I guess that's the only reason why he won't be there. They don't know who is the original creator of Khrome, so they don't wanna risk lawsuits. Companies are very careful with fan made content after all. Unless you sign a contract and give them full rights, they won't add anything. That makes sense.

Come on... comparing Mileena to Reiko?

Not having Mileena in an MK game is like not having Cammie in a SF game, or not having Night Elves in a WarCraft game, or not having Krogans in a Mass Effect game, or something. It's just crazy talk. It shouldn't even be a question to begin with, it should just be automatically assumed that they're a part of the game because they are that important to that many people, because NRS *made* them that important to that many people over the years and are very happy with the result.

Half of NRS's goal is making an amazing fighting game. The other half is turning Mortal Kombat into a household name with iconic, household characters, which they can use to make more games, more animated series, more movies, more everything. You don't do that by constantly changing the roster.

As I said before, Baraka, Sindel, Noob, Rain and Kabal were constantly being requested on Boon's Twitter during MKX for KP3, and Shang Tsung, Cyrax, human Smoke and Sektor were also requested pretty frequently.

Constantly requested by a vocal minority. Of the millions of people who will buy MK11, how many do you think care that Sindel won't be playable? 100? Maybe 200? You notice the tweets demanding Sindel's inclusion, what you don't notice is the millions of people who AREN'T tweeting Boon saying "we don't care," because we don't care.

Again, I hope that I'm wrong, but with the track record of MKX dropping with 16 of the 25 being from MK9, I'm sorry if I'm not as positive on the matter.
Click to expand...

Yes but then the DLC came out and we got Tanya, Bo'Rai Cho, Tremor, Sektor, Cyrax, and Smoke. 12 non-MK9 characters out of 31. Another way to put it, 14 non-MK Trilogy characters out of 31. That's almost half of the roster. That's a lot, dude.

Anyway I don't wanna keep harping on this. I understand where you're coming from and I hope you see more characters on the roster that appeal to you in the future.

3? More like 8. That album has bunch of pics.

But yeah, I really like how they started adding colour. Just brings everything to life. Shang's island is my favorite, nothing just pops out or seems out of the place. That haze is also a very nice touch. This is one of the reasons why I couldn't stand MKX, and preferred MK9. It's colourful, but not cartoony. It's detailed, but not a noisy mess.

As for characters, it's not even the face. It's the entire model that sometimes just throws me the fck off. Might get used to it, or they might bring it other characters that don't have this...uncanny valley feeling.

Yeah I was going by the 3 we've seen a lot of footage of I hadn't looked at your link yet, I checked it after I posted and yeah those look great as well.

Yeah, 3rd party creations has a potential for legal complications, which is why developers/publishers usually shy away from them.
