There is a strange "blur" effect on the vids from Mk1, MK2 and MK3 : do you think it could be footage from MK HD Arcade Kollection ??

The sound effects, however, may be from the HD Remix. Unless its from MK9.

It's clearly old MK footage upscaled, hence the bars on the side and the blurriness in the video.

I'm sorry, but for me it looks more like a footage from HD Kollection ! Just take a look at the original MK3 pit fatality on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ru7UgrEy1I : in the new vid, the blades are turning much FASTER ! And the game looks smoother too... no ? of course, MK1-MK2-UMK3 with new actors would be GREAT for fans like you and me, but i'm not sure that WB puted a lot of money for a game sold 30 dollars, and which appears like oldies for most players......

I'm sorry, those of you thinking the footage is from the HD Remix are blind! The HD Arcade Kollection will be presented in a widescreen, high definition format with new actors! Not upscaled old sprites with a standard definition aspect ratio...

You know, I don't understand the sealed lips about the HD Kollection. I'm getting tired of the (usual) guessing games, speculations and rumors. And I'm starting to believe more and more by the day, that this game won't make its November release. @Patrick McCarron can we expect an update on this story or haven't you guys heard anything from your sources?

It would be aggravating to have the HD Kollection turn out to be be vapor-ware.
rushing, pushing and video games do not mix. They could release it next year in November and I wouldn't care as long as it's a good game and not some crap pile sucking dollars out of my pocket.

However, things are not as simple as that. Since the previous actors are now 20 years older and - in most cases - wouldn't look to be the right age in high definition, Warner Bros. has hired new actors for the various roles and have been busy capturing them over the past few months at a Warner Bros. Studio in Los Angeles. This was a "past few months" from August 17th, 2010. Meaning, that it could have been filmed some time in January or February of this year, for all we know. I don't think it's impossible for this HD Kollection to be out by November or December, if it was filmed back then.
I'm sure that WB have planned to release MKHD Kollection before MK9 ! It would be "funny" if the MK9 demo came out in november 2011, 6 months after MK9 (in april 2011) ... But i really doubt that MK HD can be release in november ! Re-shooting new actors for those 3 classics games, making new HD backgrounds and new DTS sounds is a HUGE work, that can't be done in a few months... plesae, get news soon

Given even that, they could have been working on this thing for a while and the release of the HD collection was just as deliberate as the MK 9 release. I don't think the HD collection was at all last minute. The programming for the games are already there, so there's nothing really there to worry about. They're not building this from the ground up, they're just redoing the graphics and sound to be HD. That's not exactly a herculean task for a team of people that knows how to do it already. They're no stranger to this stuff.

Agreed. Just because we heard about it in August, doesn't mean that they didn't start on it, way before that. For all we know, they could have started filming in March, and FINISHED filming in August.
