Yeah, I know.
But it wasn’t 2009, it was 1992. And a change to 3D is not necessary, really. Just take a look at streetfighter4. I would love to see a MK that way with the difference that the characters should look more realistic, no comic style. And it also should have feature to play the game online against other people. All that mixed with blood and fatalities would be a MK to spend money for.
It would be my new favorite beat em’ up. :hitit:
Obvious fake. Boon/Midway is incapable of making cool characters.
Man that Scorpion looks awesome.
Notice how they turned him down.
Shame that these were rejected. Kano and Scorpion look fantastic.
***Man. *** Those designs are fucking amazing. It just shows how far out of touch Boon, and his team are with the Mortal Kombat franchise. Design will take them farther than they think, and these designs are far superior to anything that’s come out the Mortal Kombat franchise is years. (especially that Scorpion. Damn he looks mean, and I really dig the “demon’s blood” thing. Genius).
Hell, majority of the recent character introduced since the series went 3D have been total and utter fucking fail, especially visually. Vince has it right. This would rekindle alot of interest in the games. It’s depressing as an artist, AND an avid video game player that this was rejected. Good grief Ed Boon.
Where’s Tobias when you need him? I’d bet he would have been all over this, if he was still with Midway.
Vincent Proce is my new hero.
that scorpion looks badass dude
horrible art
You aren’t even kind of funny.
I am feeling Scorpion and Kano alot, especially Scorpion. So badass. Raiden is alright, I personally don’t like the super big hat. Sonya needs some pants, some camo cargo pants or something.
I agree too, Midway doesn’t deserve their own characters, haha. I love all their designs. I wish Capcom or Namco had a crack at them, so the gameplay would be good.
Namco with 3D MK…
Launcher - > juggle, juggle, juggle -> “GET OVER HERE” -> launcher -> wall carry -> wall mix ups…
Fucking sold on this!
I think Sonya without pants is very fitting. It looks well on her. Kano looks badass, even though I never liked playing as him.
god awful, i meant.
Quit trolling, MJ.
Word.
I think what always attracted me to MK was the character design, it had ninjas, cyborgs that threw machetes or some shit, and a dude with swords that came out of his arms. But, as I matured, suddenly characters that were cool were simply not enough and I desired a more complex game. I’ll admit that I own several of the less than stellar MK games, yet I don’t think I ever had as much fun playing the first two MKs.
Back to the specific topic at hand…I love those designs, particularly Scorpion and Kano. Kano’s eye and the Black Dragon tattoo is sexy, and the reasoning behind Scorpy’s flamboyant yellow costume is especially awesome.
I think Scorpion looks fucking legit. The rest are alright I guess. Sonya needs pants, Raiden looks a little bit off to me, and I was always a fan of Australian Kano so I guess I’m a little biased there. They all look good though aside from my little nitpicks.
I have to admit, that’s probably the most bad ass reason you could find for a ninja to wear yellow.
Kano immediately caught my eye, and he looks bad ass!
the scorpion looks GDLK
the rest of the desings are great too, but the scorpion is just too awesome
Damn that Scorpion is sick. Yellow Demons blood. Fuck! And that badass hobo Kano.
They all mostly look better then the current MK designs imo. The Sonya and Raiden need some work, but all in all great concepts. MK hasn’t had any really good designs in a loooooong ass time. They should really look into something like this because MK really needs a fucking reboot.
lol all they need is people other than boon to be in charge of it.
