Mortal Kombat Arcade Collection Arriving Summer 2011

I do wish they add MK4. The kollection would of been better with MK4. I am going to play the kollection with the TE stick. I wanna play MK1 the most. I am really excited:DDDDD.

Maybe it was because MK4 was a really flawed game. It was their first attempt at a 3D fighter and it turned out horribly.

Just because its not tournament quality doesnt mean its Horribly flawed game. Mortal Kombat 4 was great and deserves to be ported.

Haters gonna hate

I got my TE stick before the MK 2011 came out and the first thing I did was play MK 1. It was a blast!
 
It feels like a bit of a let-down, considering that the HD Kollection was hyped for the last 10 months. :-|
I wouldn't have minded waiting a little bit longer and playing MK 9, so that they could do the PROPER HD port, but whatever.


Oh well, it'll be good to have all 3 games on my PS3 anyways.

I Hope Secret Fights Is Still There Though And Babalitys,Friendships,Animality And Maybe Fergality?

Fergality, I remember that, haha. Won't be in though, these are arcade ports so they won't include anything from the console versions.

The should have put MK 4 in there also. Release anything that had an arcade machine. I'm sure all you 3D haters put a stop to that though

While MK4 would've been nice to top it off, NR specifically brought up the return to 2D gameplay in their press release, and it's an aspect they've advertised relentlessly since MK9. That's the path they want to stay on, and MK4 doesn't belong there. And yes, unfortunately many fans (including myself) don't have an affinity for that game as we do for its predecessors, because it eventually turned us away from the franchise. 2D on the other hand is loved by everyone, and seems NR want everyone to know they won't be straying from it ever again.
 
I'm surprised this has also been announced for PC although I wonder how it'll compare to running those games in MAME. If this isn't the HD edition they may just be better looking in MAME what with the ability to turn on stuff like scan-lines and other post processing effects. That's one reason why I didn't like the old midway arcade treasures because it didn't have options like MAME had.
 
MK4 was mostly on a 2D plane though and apart from the sidestepping it had was mostly what is now called "2.5D" gameplay.

This is awesome, but does it debunk the HD rumors?

I debunked those rumors long ago. It was canned due to quality assurance. Too much was changing with the way the refilming changed the gameplay.

Umm... Its not a flawed game, certainly not like the 4 MK's that followed. The real 3d MK's made MK4 look like a gem.

I am really quite confused by this comment in whole. wtf lol?
 
It is a damn shame that the HD kollection is debunked and I guess wont be realized. :\

Tim I agree with you about MK4 especially since it featured mostly classic gameplay... with high punch, low punch, etc.
The most glaring thing to me was how hard it was to hold onto your weapon once you brought it out.

Trust me when i say its a good thing you'll never play it.

NOW they should refilm and remake MKT, seeing how its by far one of the worse, poorly made MK projects ever. Certainly deserves a "remake" or actually, a recreation.

I am actually a full supporter of post processing effects - as long as they're the right ones. Not horrible "HQ" smoothing for instance, and even Scanlines don't cut it.

The filters that should be used are analog signal simulators, there are only a couple I know that are actually the real deal, and applied within Kega and Bsnes emulators. These filters are necessary because they show the game as intended by developers - how they viewed the game in production, and how it was supposed to look. The classic MK graphics hugely benefit from such simulations. Unfortunately I'm certain the only filter that will be applied is bilinear. It's not a deal breaker though.

Frames, right? Knew there'd be a problem with that.

I hope it comes to steam!!!! This must also mean MK9 on PC (Q4 2011 according to rumours :)

Rumors? What rumors? From whom? Certainly not Boon if you've been following what he's been saying on twitter although he tends to say misleading stuff.

I agree though... it should be on Steam.

Do you guys think they are porting these games to each platform, or emulating them?

I wouldn't put it past them to just emulate them especially considering modern hardware far outstrips the requirements for that. But then again when that happens they tend to not put advanced features like scanline overlays and stuff like that that is basic in emulators like MAME.

Tim, I know we both don't see eye to eye, but this is one of the things I can agree with you on. A re-produced MK Trilogy was the best and logical option, when people went frantic over the HD rumors. I know you and several other people believed that NR was in the midst of re-filming/remaking MK1, 2, and UMK3 as separate games, with their unique engines. To me, that just sounded like a complete rumor right from the beginning, like I said before. If they were to re-film/remake a HD Kollections, the best option would be to include all those characters into one single game with the same engine.

Pretty much a new MK Trilogy.. Same style, just hopefully if they were to do that or do plan on doing this in the future. They remove the bs infinite combos, kara-jabbing, and other non-sense people have decided to implement in the game for the sake of a victory.
