Motor Kombat as its own game?

Ok this was brought up by The 7th Number (I think) quite a ways back, but I agree. The MK Dev. Team should make Motor Kombat its own game before working on MK8 (if they do). At first I didn't like Motor Kombat, but now its addictive. Just think...

1. All MK characters usable, each with their own styled car and special move. I was really hoping to play as Liu Kang in Armageddon's Motor Kombat.

2. More tracks. Only five were in Armageddon and they get boring after while.

3. More modes like battle mode or elimination races.
 
It has great potential, it was just really lacking as far as maps and characters. There should also be more powerups, some secret passageways for shortcuts, and more variety for deathtraps.
 
I think itd make a good handheld game, like on the ds or something, but I don't know about an entire console version. Don't get me wrong I love the game, but I don't know how well it would hold up against other console games. Maybe if they added a lot to it, like every character, and different attacks/power ups instead of just a special per person. I personally would like kind of like a mix between mario kart and twisted metal. As in the violence of twisted metal, but the addictive cuteness of mario kart. Either way i would still buy it, but I don't know if it could really survive as a console game.
 
Motor Kombat should be its own game. I dont think they should put in all the characters, but they should have at least 25. They could have a track in each realm, they can just make them longer. Some of the tracks in armageddon are small and you have to do like 8 laps, that is just annoying. But i love the game. Playing it online is fun too. I would buy a motor kombat game seriously.
 
One cool option they could do make it so that when you die on the track, you're out of the race. This ofcourse would be something we as players would be able to toggle on and off. It would get annoying if you suck at the game, ofcourse, but once your skills get good it would make for a truly intense racing experience. Keep everyone on their toes.
 
No, that's a horrible idea. Fatalities in Motor Kombat are tantamount to falling off the edge, or falling in the lava in Mario Kart. It's a severe slowdown but you can still bounce back. There are just too many fun (and easy) ways to die for it to be 1 shot and you're out.
 
that's exactly the point. it'd be an OPTION. something that you can turn on/off. because around my house we LOVE racing games and we get so good at them that we're constantly neck and neck and pushing eachother at the finish line. with something like that in place it'd be like "oh yea? well lets see how you do if you only have one shot at this."

i recognize the fact that it would be annoying and horrible for people who are prone to dying and whatever, that's why it'd be something to turn off. and would be an excellent tool for people in the same position as those of us here at my house.

yeah, sometimes its annoying when you blast someone with a freeze, or some dude falls in a death trap. It seems in a matter of seconds they are right behind you. Half the time i just keep my special move till the last lap, because i know if i use it before then the other player will just catch up again and it would be a waste.
 
True I can't play this one, but I would say it has greater potential on the PSP. You can make tracks for quick races while you're on the road, and others longer with more ways to get killed for the social play. It would be good on a console as well, but people would demand more of it.
 
I came up with a few more great ideas for the game...

Create a Track- Many racing games have this option and it would be great to create your own and share it online.

Create a Racer- Create a Kombatant and a vehicle for him/her.

And 7th, you're right about not having every character. I would just really like to see Liu Kang, Kai, Jarek and Chameleon in it.
 
honestly i dont think it would really be that hard to make. Besides designing the cars for specific characters, you pretty much have everything else handed to you. Special moves, where to have the tracks, deathtraps, i mean it would all be pretty easy. They could even throw in some mini games like drag racing(like test your might), or demolition derby, or stunt jumping. It would actually be a pretty cool game. Wouldnt it be cool if each character had 2 moves....Reptile could have the acid spit, and the move to make himself invisible...until hit. :) You wouldnt even know where he was on the track.
 
I think it could make a great little MK spin off game. It has the potential to be packed with modes, tracks and characters.

With the coin collecting aspect, they could even put a Krypt in the game to unlock stuff. :)
 
Heck, maybe we should get a hold of the MK Dev. Team and ask them of what they think. Who was the guy whose friend knows how to get a hold of Vogel?
 
Motor Kombat 2​

The Motor Kombat mini game in MK Armageddon was a huge success. Many people loved it, and only were displeased by the lack of characters and tracks, but thats what was expected from a mini game. I really believe this mini game should be upgraded, and become a full game in itself. I would like to present to you some ideas for Motor Kombat 2!

I would like to say this game would be great for all platforms, PS2, PSP, Xbox, XBox 360, and would be even more interesting for PS3 and the Nintendo Wii with their motion sensing controllers.

First of all in the MK Armageddon Krypt, there was a video of Motor Kombat. In the video they showed the race about to start, 3..2..1.. and then you heard the "MORTAL KOMBAT" scream as the racers hit the gas and started the race. I for one thought that was really awesome, and was dissapointed that it wasnt in the final version. I would love to see this make into Motor Kombat 2.

Here are the list of characters i think would be good in the game, now with 2 special

moves each.

Characters

- Baraka (Front: Flying Shard, Neutral: Chop Chop Blades(out from car sides) )
- Bo' Rai Cho (Neutral: Earthquake(like jax ground pound), Behind: Puke)
- Cyrax (Front: Net, Behind: bomb)
- Drahmin (Front: Ball-o-Flies, Neutral: Ground Smash)
- Goro (Front: Ultimate Force fire ball, Neutral: Tremor Pound)
- Jax (Front: Machine Gun, Neutral: ground pound)
- Johnny Cage (Front: fireball, Behind: Autographed photos(throws a stack behind spinning anyone out who hits it) )
- Kitana (Front: Throw Fan, Neutral: force field)
- Kung Lao (Front: Throw Hat, Neutral: Spinning Shield)
- Liu Kang (Front: Throw Fireball, Neutral: Dragons surround him hurting anyone close)
- Mileena (Front: Shoot Sai, Neutral: Speed Boost)
- Nitara (Front: Blood Spit, Behind: Puddle of Blood)
- Noob (Front: Dark Assassin(ninja stars), Neutral: Darkness(invisibility))
- Quan Chi (Front: Skull Toss, Neutral: Magnet Force)
- Raiden (Front: Lightning Bolt , Neutral: Shocking Touch)
- Reptile (Front: acid spit, Neutral: invisibility)
- Scorpion (Front: spear, Behind: Burning Fire )
- Shang Tsung (Front: fireball, Neutral: Soul Steal)
- Shao Kahn (Front: Ridicule speed burt, Neutral: Swing Hammer)
- Shinnock (Front: Judgment Fist, Behind: Summoned Fiend trap)
- Sindel (Front: Star Screamer, Neutral: Banshee Scream)
- Smoke (Neutral: Stink Cloud, Behind: Stinky Cloud)
- Sonya (Front: Armed Forces blast, Behind: Kiss of death mist)
- Sub-Zero (Front: ice freeze ball, Behind: Ice puddle)

Legend
"Front"=move that shoots cars in front of your character, ex. Scorpions Spear.
"neutral"=move upon that character, ex. Raidens Shocking Touch
"Behind"=move that leaves something from behind, ex. Bo' Rai Cho's Puke.

Tracks

I feel the tracks were a little short in the Armageddon mini game, but i understand why. The tracks in Motor Kombat 2 should be at least twice as long. Here are some levels i think should be in the game the game.

- Lin Kuei Raceway (Extended)
- Outworld Refinery (Extended)
- Botan Jungle (Extended)
- The Lost Pyramid (Extended)
- Bo Rai Cho's Brewery (Extended)
- Chaosrealm
- Earthrealm
- Edenia
- Neatherrealm
- Orderrealm
- Wu-Shi Academy
- Evil Tower
- Wastelands
- Dead Pool
- Living Forest
- The Pit (racing on the bridges, with spikes below)

Modes

These are the modes i would like to see in Motor Kombat 2.

- Time Trial
Time your best laps, and overall time for each track.

- Grand Prix
Could be like the arcade ladder, but with levels, where you would have to win each race to beat the game, and see a funny ending.

- Vs mode
Play a race against player 2, 3, and 4 in this mode.

- Practice mode
You can take a free ride around any unlocked course, and even see your last lap ghost.

- Online mode
Play 2 player, up to 8 players online, much like in MK Armageddon.

- Drag Race
Drag Race is just a straight path race to see who is the fastest, much like a normal drag race. But this mode takes a page out of the "test your might" mini game from past MK games. To get your car to go, you would have to press X as fast as you can, and whoever does this the fastest wins.

- Demolition Derby
This mode would have a life bar for each character. You basically try to crash into each other until there is one car left running, or in other words...whoever still has power left. Maybe even allow the cars to use their special moves from the main game. Maybe that could be optional in the options menu.

And those are my ideas for Motor Kombat 2. I dont know if this game will ever be made, but im hoping that someday we will see it out on the shelves.
 
Those are some AWSOME ideas 7th. We gotta get a hold of Midway and give them those. I would still like Kreate a Track as a mode and Jarek plus Chameleon as playable racers. Otherwise its just awsome.

lol if you suck at the game just get better :P I say if they do make the game it's own game, and they do make it so if you die, you're out of the race they should make it possible to die everywhere. Survival of the fittest! Weed out the weak!

It's like when I teach someone to play chess. I teach them all the moves each piece makes. Then when they're ready to play I beat them until they learn not to lose :|

hey man, Mario was a great game. Then they made Mario Kart and we all know that is one of the greatest games of all time. It's only right if a great game like Mortal Kombat, which also starts with an 'M' just like Mario :O makes a game which initials are "MK" just like Mario Kart :O:O It's all so clear now!
 
that didnt make any sense but, ok mate. on another note, mario kart was awesome, still is, and ed boon is too lame to make up an original side game so he has to steal other ideas.
 
Yes! Ed Boon's entire existence should boil down to the one part in his life where he allowed a side game to be in his game. It wouldn't matter now if he cured cancer, he's lame for making his own version of a go-kart game. Shame on him![/sarcasm]
