What do you want NRS to work on next?

[Gouki]

Oh yea, Reptile having a lair in the living forest is believable, so that very well COULD be true. the wastelands having 'blood warriors' COULD be true. We do not know ALL the species or lands in Outworld...so those are plausible.

now kitana under a spell, scorpion going after liu kang etc, yea, thats not true and again that what made SM non canon but the KEY things still happened.

 

[Commander]

1) LOL, it does not matter what they were called or what financial situation they were in, the point is, in the past 4 to 5 years, THE GAME HAS NOT BEEN MADE nor thought about past that link u posted.

2)YES, thats what I implied, i was not talking about minor changes in SM as u are(killing kano, goro, etc). they are villains, they have to be killed anyway. Im implying what was mentioned in MK9 about Subz' WHAT IF Ladder ending being a possible game. i dont think NRS would entertain it.

3)now go read MY first post again...

4)and I said 'Moving on'...it is finished. ive made my point and it stands. i did not say u said 'just those two', but it seems 'those two' are all u care about. (a similar argument in another thread, but that is over with, as this one is.)

5)SM worked because it was for the most part, accurate to the actual canon without straying too much from the MAIN things. again the KEY things of MK2 were done in MK:SM.

6) I did not say when Scorp and Sub zero's beef STARTED, I said when Scorpion FOUND OUT the truth about it, which was at the end of MK4 in HIS ending(in the original timeline). U cannot assume anything for this alt line because it has not happened yet. scorp is still a lap dog for quan chi.

7) Im talking about OVERALL popularity, compared to other mk games. not as popular as MK2...or some other MK games...

1) It does matter.
In the last 3 years, they made MK9 (2010 - 2011) and Injustice (2012 - 2013).
Before that, they were broke.
Before that, they made MKvsDC to convince WB to buy them out.

2) I didn't say that his MK9 ending should be a game.
I stated that the MK9 game could have similar events as his MK9 ending, to explain how Sub-Zero and Scorpion join together.

3) Read my first post again.

4) Your point is not the only point, and you're obviously ignoring my reply.

5)SM strayed really far away from MKII, like:

- Scorpion to just go after Liu Kang and Kung Lao all of a sudden.
- The location of the Warrior Shrine has been changed. Originally the shrine was found on Shang Tsung's island, but now it's located near the Shaolin Temples
- Jax's ability to open portals to Earthrealm, contradicting the whole reason why the Outworld Investigation Agency was created.
Jax's ability to open portals to Earthrealm, contradicting the whole reason why the Outworld Investigation Agency was created.
If Shaolin Monks takes place during the timeframe in between the first and second Mortal Kombat tournament, Jax was not a member of the Special Forces and the Outworld Investigation Agency until Mortal Kombat 4.
The technology to create portals from one realm to another didn't even exist, during that time, and Jax only entered Outworld through his accepting of the invitation to Shao Kahn's tournament and through Raiden
- Reptile appearing like a lizard even before starting his de-evolution in Mortal Kombat 4
- The deaths of Jade, Ermac, Reptile, Baraka, Goro, Kano, Shang Tsung, Kintaro, and Shao Kahn.
- The only character that was close to death was Kano when he was thrown off the Rooftop by Sonya, though this occurred during the events of Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
- Goro being killed by Johnny Cage
- Quan Chi already bearing his tattoos- he gained them during Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. However, Quan Chi's tattoos (which were gained when Quan Chi magically burned them into his skin upon the discovery of Onaga's grave)
- Kitana is stated to be a native of Outworld and that her father was overthrown by Shao Kahn, but Kitana is actually from Edenia.

You're right, though.
It didn't stray too much from the actual canon.
/sarcasm

6) Yes, and it's possible that a Sub-Zero / Scorpion game could take place during the events of MK4, or could just be a non canon side-story. That's my point. It doesn't have to be MK9 canon.

7) Agreed, but MK4 still was very popular and did very well in sales.
This statement that you made, is completely false:

MK4 was part of the beginning of MK's fall from grace.

This statement that you made, is completely false:

1)OMFG, BROKE or NOT, MK;Fire and Ice idea has not seen the light of day...yet other games were made by NRS/Midway in the past few years. so The Idea was SCRAPPED and not looked back at. PERIOD.

2)AGAIN I did not say YOU said that. I said it was mentioned by someone. the idea is fine, the execution and the results are what im looking at.

3)Read 1

4)ur right, YOU have a point too, a point that seems to only revolve around scorp and subz...and not MK as a WHOLE(something I disregard). no offense.

5)Ill reply for the last time about this subject. besides alot ofMINOR changes aka(MOST of the things u just listed, not ALL, but most, for entertainment purposes),the KEY elements and plot are intact(which is the only thing we knew about MK2). If u want a list of KEY MK2 elements, let me know.

6) got it, u want a (fan service)Scorp/Subz spin off game...

7)look at it this way then, MK1-UMK3 era was the Height of MK. After that, the sales(good or not), and HYPE(or whatever u wanna call it), only went down since then...until...

1) My point, which was missed, is that it can be done now that NRS has WB's financial backing.
The didn't have the financial means to make BOTH Fire and Ice AND MKvsDC.
They took a gamble and made MKvsDC and WB bought them out later.
Now that they have that $$$ to do so, and they have proven to WB that they can make great games, they can make that type of game.

2) Your reply was to me, as a result of me mentioning a Sub-Zero / Scorpion game taking place similarly to that of Sub-Zero's MK9 ending.

2)I dont believe NRS would even entertain a 'What if ending' scenario that far honestly...

3) Read 1

4) Seeing as you believe that those are the only 2 that you think I care about, then you haven't been listening and are twisting my words. Sorry.
Sub-Zero and Scorpion are the the most iconic and popular, but not the only important characters to me.

5) Aside from what you call MINOR changes in Shaolin Monks vs MKII, here are some more MAJOR ones that I'll list for you:

- Kung Lao's original story was that he did not want to be the Champion of Mortal Kombat and was more of a quiet, brooding, reluctant hero who only fought when he had to.
Instead, Kung Lao is depicted as being arrogant and shows resentment towards Liu Kang for winning the Mortal Kombat tournament and desires to be Champion himself.
- Kung Lao was not present in the original tournament, explaining that he didn't want to be the Champion of Mortal Kombat.
In Shaolin Monks' story, he sneaks into Shang Tsung's island and poses as a guard of his troops.

- Liu Kang was not present when the Tarkatas attacked the Shaolin Temple, as his Mortal Kombat II bio made this very clear.
In Shaolin Monks he is present and helps fight off the Tarkata.

The MKII comic in its entirety is contradicted by the story as presented in Shaolin Monks.
They are two wildly different versions of the same basic story.

- The Elder Sub-Zero was originally killed by Scorpion at the end of the first Mortal Kombat tournament.
In Shaolin Monks, they both survive the tournament itself, and Scorpion doesn't kill him until the tournament's aftermath.

- Kitana is shown having had full knowledge of what Shao Kahn did to her family for quite a while (and, thus, have been fighting against his rule during that time), and is put under a holding spell by Mileena and Jade (herself under the same spell) by Kahn to gain her loyalty. In Mortal Kombat II, it is only recently that she learned the truth, having grown up completely loyal to Kahn and ignorant of her past, and only feigns loyalty to the Emperor during the tournament, with no spell involved.

- Kung Lao and Liu Kang were somewhat portrayed as naive.
This quality was never demonstrated in the character storylines of previous games.

- Kitana hints at a relation between Mileena and Reptile, saying that if they find Mileena, they would surely find Reptile.

- There is no mention of Sub-Zero's mission to complete his brother's failed assignment to assassinate Shang Tsung.

- Originally Goro was supposed to have been thought killed in the original Mortal Kombat tournament until the events of Mortal Kombat 4 after Shao Kahn is defeated where he admits that he has been hiding in shame of his defeat years earlier.
In Shaolin Monks, he survives the first tournament, but is "killed" shortly thereafter in Outworld.

- When you meet Reptile for the first time on Shang Tsung's island, Reptile states that he doesn't serve the sorcerer.
Reptile's Mortal Kombat II bio states that he served as a bodyguard to Shang Tsung during the first game, and only came into Shao Kahn's service fully after the second game.

- In the game's mythology, Sub-Zero does not know about his brother's whereabouts and believes that he has "mysteriously disappeared", until he finally meets his brother as an undead wraith in Noob-Smoke's Mortal Kombat: Deception ending.
However, in Shaolin Monks, Sub-Zero knows that Noob Saibot is his brother, and warns Liu Kang and Kung Lao that he will kill them should they try to harm his brother.

- Quan Chi had the amulet since the end of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.
In Shaolin Monks Shao Kahn has it and Quan Chi gets it from him.

- Shaolin Monks shows in a cutscene in the Soul Tombs Shang Tsung restores his own youth with a combination of fresh souls and powerful magic, however in Mortal Kombat 2 Shang Tsung's bio and the MK 2 comic state that Shao Kahn restores Shang Tsung's youth and strength.


These may seem like minor details to you, but they're inconsistent with the actual MKII story, and therefore non-canonical.
I get that you really like SM and I do too (it's one of my favorite PS2 games), but you still have to recognize that it isn't canon.


6) Yay, you finally understood it. :marchmellow:
Nothing wrong with a fan service MK action game, but it's what I want.

7) I agree with you there, 100%.
That being said, MK4 was a great game that sold well and was well received in arcades.
Personally, to be technical MK: GOLD (the red disc version) was an even better game quality-wise, but the Dreamcast died too soon. .

 

[Gouki]

1) you missed MY point... It could have been done as soon as NRS and WB were set, but it wasn't...instead, we got MK9 and injustice. and the way MK9 ended, majority of fans probably dont want to see a spin off non canon Scorp and subz game right now. so Face it, the ice/fire plan has been BURNED UP...you can only wish for it to rise from the ashes. and if wishes were horses...

2)hm, Okay then...like i said...

3)read 1...again, lol

4) then prove me wrong...so far u havent...u've named those two, and chars that are affiliated with them(quan chi, smoke, sektor, noob, sareena, etc) none of them are 'MK vitals' as far as im concerned.

5) U need a list...okay then. And i understand MK:SM is non canon, not once did i say it WAS canon.

So allow me to point out the KEY factors in CANON MK2(in no real order): keep in mind, my point isn't HOW it happened nor the changes of it, but that the KEY factor HAPPENED.

-Earthrealm warriors are summoned to Outworld(for whatever reason) to confront Kahn(ultimately), so that he can defeat them and claim earthrealm. the MAIN plot in the nutshell. same plot in MK:SM, same in MK9.

-Liu Kang's temple was attacked by baraka's tarkatan horde to help further provoke Liu and company into going to outworld, element present in MK:SM and MK9

-The returning heroes get some new help(Kung lao, Jax, a new Sub Zero, smoke, etc) Also Sub Zero entering in a business suit, with a business card, and an airplane that smoke is piloting?...REALLY?? id take his ALT entrances in MK:SM or MK9 over that anyday. neverthhless, the element is in MK:SM and MK9

-Kitana(step daughter and former ally of kahn, turns on him and gains Liu's/heroes help in trying to defeat kahn for offenses committed against her by him.(which ever offenses those my be, the END RESULT is the same;turning on her evil master and joining the heroes to help defeat him.)this element is present in MK:SM and MK9


-During the Outworld Adventure, Raiden helps guide the heroes as they most likely encounter Kahn's outworld villains and have to defeat them(reptile, baraka, mileena, kintaro, etc. (GOOD DETAILS about the adventure is not very well known; meaning we dont know when and where the encounters took place with the exception of a few encounters. but they DID take place, of that im certain. this element is present in MK:SM and MK9, GREATLY

-Shang gets young again. element present in MK:SM and MK9

-Scorpion and NEW Sub Zero confront each other (well, it did still kinda happen in MK:SM...but if u dont wanna accept that, its fine.) again, we agree that was one of the MAJOR changes. Scorpion trying to fight Liu kang instead of sub zero in SM. BUT it happened in MK9.

-Eventually Liu Kang(the main hero) confronts kahn and defeats him in the 'final' battle, thus stopping his plans and ending MK2. element present in MK:SM and MK9. yea he got killed in MK:SM but again, not that he was killed, but that he was defeated.

again not ALL the things u listed were Minor, but those KEY things i listed, were Vital and THOSE had to happen. for it to be considered "MK2".

again, i know SM is non canon but i still consider MK:SM to be MK2, just an ALT take on it(because of those minor and major changes that unfortunately make the game non canon) Its just like in MK9. how its version of MK2 was an ALT telling. but we knew it was still MK2.

NOW when im taking Char story and development into consideration, THEN those minor things make it a BIG deal. but when im just talking about the main plot and key elements of it(which did NOT change) those other matters dont concern me,unless they GREATLY change a KEY element.

EX: Kitana did not turn good at all, she was just as bad as mileena if not worse during her MK2 debut, THEN yea that changes a KEY factor in MK2. but im not gonna complain if she goes under a spell too much because she STILL rebels against Kahn in the end.(which is the KEY factor).

6) I already knew what u wanted, i merely was and still am entertaining doubt of getting it...as well as the execution, and result of it.

7) yea i should have been clear. yea MK4 was successful, but in comparison to its predecessors, it was still not as popular. and that's what I meant by its "fall from grace"; although Mk4 was good, it did not meet its previous games' height and MK only went further down since then, and if ur already on top, where can u go but down? UMK3 era was REALLY HIGH, the with MK4.

UMK3 era was REALLY HIGH, the with MK4.

1) WB wanted to make sure that NRS proved themself.
NRS isn't going to prove their worth to WB with ANY action game; they did it with an MK fighter, which is what they are awesome at doing.
They made tons of money with that.
They made a DC fighter for the DC and fighting fans that were probably upset and let down with MKvsDC.
Ed Boon said that he's considering doing MK10 for next-gen consoles (PS4, 720).

An MK action/adventure game would be a good segue between current-gen and next-gen console games (most likely MK10), without NRS having to get 360 and PS3 at the end of the console cycle.
It just makes the most sense.

2) As I said, similar to that ending, to explain them joining forces.

3) :| :| :| :|

4) Those are the 2 characters that I would like to see get an action/adventure game, but my mains and favorites to use in MK9 are Sub-Zero, Rain, Nightwolf and ShangTsung.

5) If you're getting technical, then NONE of that stuff you mentioned are KEY factors either.
They're just general story elements.
You see, my point was that all these things that seem minor to you, add up, and end up changing the MKII story a lot.
I was surprised when I played MK: Shaolin Monks and had seen how much stuff they changed up.
The atmosphere (backgrounds and characters) made it feel like MKII mixed with elements of MK3 and MK1.
Shaolin Monks didn't feel like it was parallel to MKII because of all the stuff that I mentioned that was thrown in, just to do a story.
Kabal was also in Shaolin Monks, which felt out of place and so did Ermac.

6) I don't see any doubt in getting it, especially considering what I mentioned in #1 about Boon considering doing MK10 on next-gen consoles.

But Boon believes that there is less opportunity to innovate if a sequel is published on the same console; An indication that the next Mortal Kombat game will arrive on hardware as yet revealed by Microsoft and Sony.

"If you introduce another edition of your game on the same console, you cannot provide a radically different experience," Boon said.

"I'm sure, if we were to do a new Mortal Kombat game on next generation systems, I think we would be able to provide dramatically different experiences."
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/366680/next-mortal-kombat-must-innovate-says-boon/

7) I'm pretty sure that the "fall from grace" for MK, as far as the "arcade players" and "tournament players" go was after MK4, considering that MK4 was out in arcades and lots of people went out to play it.
MK was very much strong amongst the fans during the MK4 era.

 

[Gouki]

of course Doing MK10 for ps4 makes sense, since ps4 is due this year...i just hope it has backwards compatibility...

Fire and Ice is not happening.
and Ill pass on another action adventure game right now(as i believe NRS will also do), maybe if MK9 did not end the way it did...
NRS dont need to be thinking about how Scorp and Subz is gonna team up to service THEIR fans, they need to be thinking about how they are going to legitimately revive the rest of the MKVitals for ALL the MKfans.


Elements that ARE crucial to MK2 format... if these things did NOT happen, it would not be 'MK2'. HOW it happened didnt matter too much because it kept getting ALTERED with each retelling of the storyline. neither MK:SM nor MK9 story were the exactly the same as the original MK2, except those KEY elements i mentioned which were all that mattered for it to be 'MK2'.
Wither or not Reptile was a human or lizard did not matter as far as the ''MK2 story' was concerned, thats why he was not human in the era he was suppose to be. it may not be right, but it is what it is...

now as far as char development, yea it matters alot. i liked the idea of reptile turning into a lizard over time(though i did not like the outcome), but now, that does not even matter anymore because he is now a full on lizard(which i dont like and as a result, reptile has moved down my favs list, lizard form anyway)

your issues about kano and Kabal hardly matter because, 1: that was ONLY if you found them. they were easter eggs in MK:SM, same as Ermac. u cant even fight ermac until u unlock the shrine(voluntary), which isnt until near the end of the game. minor stuff just to entertain. they were not FORCED on you, like the more MAJOR things like Jade's death, or fighting scorpion.

Again, after the UMK3 and first movie era, the hype went down. slowly, but surely...

 

[Commander]

Well, the title of this thread is "What do you want NRS to work on next?", and seeing as MK10 has a good chance of being out on PS4 and 720, I want NRS to do a Sub-Zero and Scorpion action-adventure game next, to hold us off on PS3 and 360, until MK10 comes out on PS4 and 720.

PS4 is still not coming out until later this year, anyways, and there aren't that many games coming out for those consoles YET, either.
Also, considering how the first PS2, PS3, Xbox and Xbox360 had YLOD and RROD, not everyone will be buying the first PS4s right away.
My guess is another NRS projext for 2014 and MK10 in 2015.
By then, lots of people should have the next-gen consoles which means that more people would buy the games for it.

ill get ps4 when a game i like comes out on it. wither that be mk10 another SF or a shooter i like.

yea i had the YLOD,lol not cool

 

[CF7]

Would it be wrong of me to suggest a Looney Tunes fighting game? Otherwise I have been hanging for Boon to announce MK 10.

In that case, I'd rather they make a "WB All Stars: Battle Arena".

All the significant WB characters should be there!!! The final boss would be...

Spoiler:

Super Freddy (Fusion of Freddy Kreuger and Superman.)

I was actually thinking of

Spoiler:

The Warner Brothers. A Tag Team Battle, complete with black and white palettes, top hats, monocles, and either Ryu-Guile or Chameleon-Shang Tsung movesets.

The characters for the WB brawler game would be...

- Everyone from MKvsDCU (Except Dark Kahn)
- Skarlet
- Freddy Kreuger
- Looney Tunes Characters
- F.E.A.R. Characters
- Scooby Doo and Shaggy (Together)

Feel free to add more.

Cool. What about people from Cartoon Network...Mech Suit Dexter? Super Cow? Him? Samurai Jack?

 

[Dedamn666]

Calling it now, I predict the next MK game will be out next year. Basis been there's a movie supposedly out to do with MK and on the panel in question they said the movie will come out with the new game.

I hope there is anyway, Injustice hasn't quenched my thirst for some new MK.

Me either to be honest.


I didn't like SF or Marvel all that much. So when this game tried to mix elements in those games with MK style strings.


I feel alienated.

It's IMO comparable to the people who complained about Resident Evil going in a bad direction with action and abandoning survival horror.

I like Action/third peson shooters/and I'm alright with an occasional QTE(not a trait I care about but they don't bug me)


So now I know how it feels to have a genre/game I like try to cater to another group.

Calling it now, I predict the next MK game will be out next year. Basis been there's a movie supposedly out to do with MK and on the panel in question they said the movie will come out with the new game.

I hope there is anyway, Injustice hasn't quenched my thirst for some new MK.

Well, Mr. Boon may not agree with you.

"......Boon believes that there is less opportunity to innovate if a sequel is published on the same console; An indication that the next Mortal Kombat game will arrive on hardware as yet revealed by Microsoft and Sony.

"If you introduce another edition of your game on the same console, you cannot provide a radically different experience," Boon said.

"I'm sure, if we were to do a new Mortal Kombat game on next generation systems, I think we would be able to provide dramatically different experiences."

you do realize you didn't stuff anything he said right?

next year would be after a PS4 release...

Cuz PS4 is coming out the end of this year.

Which means.... Next Gen...

Not everyone will have next-gen consoles next year, so it's possible that they'd aim for 2015.
Why release a game in 2014 when more people would have bought the console by 2015?
Makes sense to release a game when more people have the console, IMO.
MK is a big franchise, but it's not that huge as far as a next-gen console launch titles go.
MK9 would have been a bigger game to launch on next-gen consoles, considering that it was a reboot of the entire franchise.

Either way, MK10 doesn't seem likely for next year, to me.
If it was, and they released it that fast, great, but I don't even think they even have PS4 or next-gen Xbox dev kits yet, so they probably don't know how to develop for it just yet.
MK9 and Injustice were easier for them to develop on because they were familiar with the development process for 360 and PS3.
Nothing is known of the next Xbox, yet, and until that info is known and NRS gets PS4 and next-gen Xbox dev kits, production won't be done on it yet.

for the same reason anyone releases games w/o waiting 3 years before releasing them.

they will get those "late" buyers sales too.

anyone serious about about the game at a competitive level will find a way to get the system.

Fighting games have longer life spans than something like a RPG.

Even if people are serious about getting good at MK10, $400 - $500 (the rumored PS4 price) +$60 isn't something that's just blown in a whim.
I don't know about you, but money doesn't grow on trees for me.

Even if fighting games have a longer life span than RPG games, I think NRS would rather sell the game at $60, rather than get $20 - $25, when people wait for the price of the console to go down.
MK isn't a console exclusive.
If it WAS a console exclusive, then people would buy that specific console just for the game, if not, then people are likely to wait for the price to go down on the console and buy the game later at a lower price.

Big companies want to give incentive for people to buy their systems early.

They also sometimes fork over a little bit of production money to get some games worth having out early.



I don't care when ti comes out. I'm just saying your response didn't thwart anything HE said.

I'm just saying that he may or may not be right.
That's just too bold of a prediction for now.
That's like saying the 49ers are going to win the Superbowl next year.
Sure, they're a great team and they may win the big game next year, but there's a bigger chance that those odds are not right.


As it is, games usually take about a year and a half to 2 years to make.
Considering that they haven't even finished with Injustice DLC, (which will probably end some time in the end of July or the end of August), a year and a half from then (at the earliest completion time for MK10) would be January or February of 2015, which is exactly my point in the 2nd paragraph of post #75, which apparently you skipped right over.

I was actually thinking of

Spoiler:

The Warner Brothers. A Tag Team Battle, complete with black and white palettes, top hats, monocles, and either Ryu-Guile or Chameleon-Shang Tsung movesets.

Cool. What about people from Cartoon Network...Mech Suit Dexter? Super Cow? Him? Samurai Jack?

Not sure if those Cartoon Network characters have been worked on by WB. I know Looney Tunes has, which I know is Bigs Bunny, Daffy , Porky Pig, and etc. and if it'll be a tag-team battle, I want it to be similar to MK and not any other fighting game (especially not like the Capcom games)!!!
