Mortal Kombat 11 General Discussion Media Thread

In the “behind the scenes of MK11” video, Ed Boon already confirmed Kronika as the final boss, and in the UK stream when Shaun Himmerick was being interviewed he confirmed Geras as the sub-boss.
I’m actually glad that they didn’t go the One Being route and decided to do something different with regards to the final boss.

No, I actually meant for the ultimate boss of the MK universe. I'm very excited for her to be the boss of this game, but I meant to say that, if there is ever going to have an ultimate boss, it must be One Being.

There's no way Shinnok will be playable in this, and he looked very NPC in that prologue trailer; he had that kind of under-finished, rough quality to him that Fujin did in MKX.

Exactly and unfortunately (but maybe fortunately for the enrichment of his own story, who knows). And yeah, Shinnok's face looked a little bit unfinished. His texture in MKX looked waaaaaaaay better. I wish they at the least gave him a better look. Looked like his texture didn't load at all.

You can't play as a character that doesn't have a head in the first place.

Unless, as [MENTION=5028]Commander[/MENTION] said, they pick up Shinnok from a previous moment in the timeline. But tbh, I have my doubts about the Elder Gods and time. You see, if Shinnok's absence is what almost purged all evil to the point where goodness is greater, wht don't the goddess of time just brings Shinnok back? Maybe that's one thing she can't do, who knows.

As Shinnok said himself "I'm of no realm, you know".

Still, I'm glad they are giving him a proper space. Won't have my hopes, but if he's the one needed to exist, who knows if they actually don't have to reconnect his head to the body so he can do, you know, evil things.
 
I seen a picture of dark emperor Lui Kang fighting raiden gameplay on Instagram...Soooooo now if anyone had any doubt for some reason that he wasnt in...now we know hes in.Im still waiting on THE BEST CHARACTER TO EVER GRACE MK WITH THEIR PRESENCE...THE MAN ,THE MYTH, THE LEGEND AND BEST WRITTEN CHARACTER IN THE FRANCHISE... JOHNNY CAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEE!!!!!!!

If NRS can come up with a bullshit excuse as to why you can play as previously dead characters (Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao, Joker) with a lame cameo or Bio / concept art explanation as to why their default skin has aged, then yeah, they can put in a previously decapitated Shinnok.

Obviously I’m being a bit tongue-in-cheek with that, but unless NRS flat-out states it or says otherwise, with a story that involves time manipulation anything is possible.

I mentioned Shinnok purely from a gameplay perspective. How are Fatalities going to work against a character that literally doesn't have a head, especially when a sizable chunk of them involve decapitations?

Now, if Shinnok managed to Jenova Reunion himself back to a full body in the plot, maybe then him being playable might be feasible.

Would be kind of funny if they put him in with his head looking like it was poorly sewn back on and kept bobbing around, then when he gets it knocked off you hear him say in a depressed voice "Not again" lol

IGN 4K Scorpion gameplay.

This Scorpion sounds so much better than the Chain Smoker Scorpion we had in 9/X. GET OVER HERE sounds great. Ronda is pure cringe, and Scorpion's attire is just....shit. But other than that, the game starts to grow on me. Just need that Kotal, Jade and Reptile and I'm all set.

Although Baraka DOES sound a lot like Reptile. Yes I know it's the same VA, which doesn't look good for Reptile...Shit.

This was my point, though.
In the story mode they could easily explain that Kronika somehow saved him, and there you go.
That’s all of the explanation apparently needed for why he could be on the main roster.
We have years of MK lore where people constantly get killed and brought back, or somehow it was their clone that got killed (Shao Kahn), so when time manipulation is added to that they could easily bring him back as a playable roster character if they wanted to.
It’s part of the reason why time travel / manipulation seems like such an easy cop-out.

I agree, I do wish they'd gotten different voice actors for Sub-Zero and Raiden as well, they are fine but they sound too much like cartoon voice actors and not real people speaking. Rhonda is there purely for marketing, they should have kept Tricia Helfer from MKX voicing Sonya, she's an actual actress.

Nah, I disagree here. Subby and Raiden are spot on. Also don't forget when they are wearing masks the voice gets muffled. As for marketing with Ronda, they are not going to market it well with that talentless "acting" :lol: And an butt ugly in-game model to boot... Oh I will enjoy doing this over and over again! Instafix for Sonya.
 
I hate Sub-Zero's voice in this game. I couldn't stand it in the past games either.
I think he sounds like such a cartoony idiot.


Scorpion's new voice I'm loving though. He sounds like an actual person

That's what happens when you hire Steve Blum for your video games. Nearly all of his voices sound the same which is why I'm not a fan of his work outside of a few stuff that he did.

His performance as Vincent Valentine was the Voice of God as far as I'm concerned.

I like Blum's Sub-Zero, even though MK9's Sub-Zero was pretty good too. Better than Schwarzenegger in MK4 lol

I loved Seitz rendition of Scorpion, I was sad he didn't return, but this new actor seems nice, it will grow on me. Anybody knows who he is?

Now, despite the fact Raiden had an awesome voice in MK:DA/MK:D/MK:A, possibly the best I've ever seen of him, right now I'm challenging anyone in Mortal Kombat who petition to Richard Epcar not be Raiden.

Dude is PERFECT. Nobody says "There are fates worse than death!" than him.
 
Raiden's current voice is horrendous. It needs to be deeper like his MK4 VA. Doesn't help that his dialogue has him repeating himself over and over. I can't stand hearing the guy say "Kombat" anymore.

Geras' voice is so sick! "Commme Thunder! Commme Lightninnnng"
I instantly knew I loved the character

Geras, overall, is just a freakin’ badass.
I love that 1 of the intros has him reconnecting his head to his body, like no fvcks were given and I love that he can mess with the physical match time and his Fatal Blow is a rewind & time stopping move.
Seems similar to how Kojima made Psycho Mantis rumble the controller and read the memory card back in the day.
I like characters that get incorporated into not only the game world but the real world as well.

That's cool, I've always had issues with Raiden's voice acting though, he's one of my favorites as is Sub-Zero so I'm a bit pickier about them. I do wish they'd give Raiden's lightning attacks a new sound effect, they sound like weak lasers more than lightning coming from a "god"

The echo effect they added in the prologue helped a bit but then they went and over wrote his dialogue lol. Why would he yell "Be Silent Shinnok!"? shouldn't it just be "Be Silent" if Shinnok is the only person in the room? It comes off a bit like kids making up lines as they go along, it happens in a lot of games so it's not exclusive to MK at all, I can't count how many times in God of War 3 Athena called Kratos by his name when he was the only one there. It's not a big deal but I think it sort of hurts the believability of the dialogue.
