MORTAL KOMBAT

ya saw this this morning...
gotta say it looks pretty awesome
dark, gritty AND gory, exactly what MK ought to be IMO
hopefully this turns out to be a feature length film!
 
I am sorry but anything they do is better then the alternate dimension dragon king shit they've been doing for the past few games.

Edit: oh wait I forgot lmao its Darkside MY NOSTALGIAAAA :cumseverywhere:
 
Don't even try it, you know that "durp, it's Darkside, NOSTALGIA" shit isn't going to fly here. That trailer was shit, nostalgia or no. That looked worse than the goddamn Annihilation movie. Baraka has an ass on his head! Reptile's a goddamn harlequin baby! Nothing in this was "Mortal Kombat" except for people's names and LOL JAXX SAID FINISH HIM AND TALKED ABOUT FATALITIES LOL NODS TO THE GAMES, GUYS, NODS TO THE GAMES. This trailer was awful, and frankly I'm surprised that you're praising it and yet bash MKs string of PoS games. It's like saying, "I like shit, but I don't like diarrhea."

Every mortal kombat game has been horrible since 2, and really anything to move away from the "lol magical warriors im gay" plot I'll give a shot.

Think of this as the Twisted Metal: Black of the Mortal Kombat series. If anything making the characters all "real and gritty" just highlights how completely ****ing bonkers every single Mortal Kombat character is. I can't wait to see how they handle stupid ****ing characters like Ermac or Cyborg with Dreadlocks Smoke. This trailer owns SO HARD.


Maybe Shao Khan will be a North Korean Warlord.

Full retard detected. You're no longer qualified to speak about Mortal Kombat.

Also lol at how you try to defend this piece of crap by saying, "It's the Twisted Metal Black of Mortal Kombat! It's realistic and gritty!" This shit looks about as bad as the KoF movie and you're defending it because it's some "real-life" take on characters that were originally demons and shit.

"Real-life take" meaning "Let's give this guy piercings and ass cheeks on his head."
 
Sub Zero game was really frustating, but I always thought it was cool - not good, but cool.

Nah 3 kind of sucks. MK is the madden of fighting games let it go~

Also you completely ignored the part where I said the "real-life take" highlights just how ridiculous these characters are which I think is great and hilarious. I don't like it because of the "GRITTY" I like it because of how hilarious/campy it is, and MK to me is all about the CAMP.

Besides twisted metal: Black was a pretty sweet reboot but you're first reaction is to hate anything and everything new so :v
 
That looks ****ing horrible.

What the **** have they done? THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA GUYS!

Who are you to even talk about fighting games? What sucked in 3, pray tell? THE BALANCE? Adding the run button to decrease the amount of turtling present in the first two games? Introducing chain combos into the series so that you have more ground options instead of just juggles?

Dude seriously, what do you even know about fighting games.

Boy, you're right. My first reaction IS to hate anything and everything that's not like the original! Gee golly, mister, I should take a long hard look at this trailer again and try and see it from the viewpoint of it being a reboot.

...

No, no, this guy still has Quark's forehead. Sorry. I can't like anything where a dude intentionally inserts, what, probably some kind of silicone packing into his forehead to give the illusion of having a butt on his head. Also piercings and face tattoos.

Sorry, I can't get behind the idea of a harlequin baby eating people.

The fighting in this didn't look good either, which is like, if the main draw is about a fighting tournament, and that fight between...eurgh..."Baraka"...and Johnny Cage is supposed to be an indicator then my opinion isn't swayed in the slightest.

Only fighting game I play semi-seriously is Street fighter but I'm pretty sure MK is kind of down there with super smash bros in the fighting game department in which "I play this game for fun not for serious". Also lol at you taking MK seriously. I seriously hope you're not looking at this from some kind serious gamer fighting scene perspective because its ****ing mortal kombat bro~

Do you keep ignoring the part where I know how ridiculous these characters are and that I think its awesome and I want to see their "GRITTY NITTY" take on every other stupid character in MK, or are you just drooling on your keyboard or what. Yes baraka has a buttface. Yes reptile is a harlequin baby. That shit is hilarious. Better then "magical warriors from another dimension"

yes the fighting in the trailer is an exact replication of how the fighting will go down in the game.

Alright, I'm already going to call this into question, because the fact that you stated MK after 2 sucks clearly sets up questions as to how you can play something "semi-seriously" when you're apparently oblivious to how certain game mechanics affect balance.

And what the hell is "semi-seriously?" Is that like a casual who plays a lot? What does that even mean? Is that like someone who goes to arcades and plays but doesn't enter tournaments? Look man, there's only two types of people who play fighting games, and that's people who play them seriously and casuals. There is no middle tier. You are a casual. Hence, everything you say, regarding fighting games, is immediately discredited.

No, I addressed it. I don't know what kind of specific response you're looking for, here. You're saying that you like these 'gritty, real-life' interpretations of stupid characters, and I'm saying that that dude has an ASS ON HIS FOREHEAD. That is a complaint I am levying against the designs. You are discussing designs and I'm addressing designs.

Is there something specific you're looking for me to say? I'm not sure what it is. You like the design and want to see more; I dislike the redesigns that've been shown thus far and am uninterested in viewing others.

I'm sorry if you're not used to people actually addressing your points and you consider it "drooling on the keyboard," but your lack of comprehension, now that I've broken it down, surely will make others in this thread view you as an idiot. More of an idiot.

Hoooooooooly shit how old are you?

*Checks profile*

18 years old. Well that figures. So you actually were only FOUR FUCKING YEARS OLD when MK3 came out. You have no idea how big Mortal Kombat was, do you? And you have absolutely no idea that Mortal Kombat was taken seriously. Equating it to Smash Bros.?

Kid you were in diapers when Mortal Kombat 1 came out. I was in Southland Arcade playing that shit on the big screen for 75 cents a game.




Sorry, everything you've said in this thread is nullified. It's no wonder you don't care about what you're seeing in this trailer--which, btw, I'd like to point out:

Click to expand...
while the possibility of it being a game is high, it might not be. And if it is, it's possible the game COULD play like that. Look at Def Jam.

But in any case, you actually don't know enough about Mortal Kombat to speak about it. Begone with you to Outworld.
 
Did not realize Darkside waxed his Mega-Boner for Mortal Kombat like this, but why is Baraka black? Why is he even human? This looks terrible.
 
I don't think he's black.

notbaraka.jpg


Also, funny thing, I don't even like Mortal Kombat all that much. At the time of MK1, I was mostly focused on SF2. It was just such a humongous thing, and like I said down at Southland Arcade that game had HUGE real estate. The cabinet was monstrous and had people gathered around it from opening to close. MK was also in every 7-11 in the Bay, so you had to play it, y'know.

By the time MK3 rolled around, I dumped some quarters into it locally and learned to play Kabal real well, ended up played at a thing in Vegas for it, but I was more focused on KI.

Never concerned myself with balance in MK games I was just concerned on whos fatality was the coolest like 90% of the people who played MK did. If you think the people who played it for "SERIOUS BALANCE" are the majority then you are insane.

By semi-seriously I mean I frequent arcades quite a bit, but can't be half assed to drive myself to anything like East Coast Beatdown or any other tournaments we get around here. Also, that last bit is ****ing hilarious. "CASSSSUUAAALLS?" really bro? I will admit im pretty new to the fighting game scene, but from what I've seen the amount of people who take MK seriously is pretty ****ing small. No one cares bro~

I kept saying that it was hilarious that this "real life" take on the characters was just showing everyone how bonkers they really are, to which you responded with "YEAH IF BY REAL LIFE YOU MEAN ASS CHEEKS ON FOREHEAD". Yeah. I know. Thats what I was saying. You went out of your way to say that the new looks were stupid, which yes I agree with. They are ****ing stupid, but so is every character in MK which is why I think its hilarious. Im not looking for you to say anything. You just kind of keep repeating yourself and im like "I know I said that already why do you keep sperging out"

You're right bro MK was ****ing huge. Im so glad it lasted and its one of the major games in the fighting scene right no-oh wait its not.

And yep, I played the MK series as a young boy, and let me tell you fatalities were the coolest ****ing thing. Combos? Who gives a **** scorpion just ripped that guys head off oh my GOD.

It could but the chances are pretty ****ing low. Like astronomically low. As in "why would you even think it would play like def jam are you stupid?" low. Tell you what I want someone to record this post. If the game plays like Def Jam just ****ing ban me for life.

But in any case, you actually don't know enough about Mortal Kombat to speak about it. Begone with you to Outworld.

lmao not only are you the biggest sperglord on hl2.net you are also the biggest fag ahahahaha
 
Baraka is a one of those body mod people taken to the extreme. People like this exist. People with butts on their foreheads.

EDIT: Seems it's for a movie and not a game. Congratulations Darkside your precious series is safe!!!!1111

now you can live in your own little world! *gels up hair and puts on neon sunglasses and parachute pants*
 
This looks cheesy as ****.

I assume this is either a pitch for a stupendous movie or just a live action trailer for another unnecessary reboot of the game franchise. This franchise died long ago. Leave it be already.

Kid, you weren't old enough to be concerned with anything while playing MK games. I doubt you even knew how to perform fatalities at the age of ONE YEAR OLD.

Furthermore you can't actually say to me, who was actually old enough to, y'know, not shit my pants during the era of MK, how people were when it came to Mortal Kombat. I mean first off, how old do you think the majority of arcade goers were, at the time? We're not talking Chuck E. Cheese arcades, here. The people who frequented arcades and played fighting games were dead serious about it. Play to win, son. Play to win. You don't play to win, there went your money.

By semi-seriously I mean I frequent arcades quite a bit, but can't be half assed to drive myself to anything like East Coast Beatdown or any other tournaments we get around here.

You realize that things that are huge can phase out, right? Look at Tomb Raider. Eidos is still living off that Lara money, even when her games have been shit for like ten years. Longevity is not an indicator of how big something WAS, only how long it stayed relevant.

Again, you wouldn't have been old enough to really know anything except seeing some guy's head ripped off. So what likely happened to you is, you played when you were four years old, someone combo'd the hell out of you, then ripped your head off, which was memorable. You don't remember anything leading up to getting your head torn off, nor would you have been of an age to appreciate it anyway.



It could but the chances are pretty ****ing low. Like astronomically low. As in "why would you even think it would play like def jam are you stupid?" low.

Hey man. We're talking about MK post-Deadly Alliance. With that game, they threw EVERYTHING out the window. Now we've got shit like MK vs. DC; are you REALLY going to say that it'd come as a surprise if Midway tried to reinvent the mechanics of MK again?

Also of course I didn't play MK at one year old you chuckle****. I was 8 :p

Click to expand...
That's already during the time of MK: Gold, man. That was already post MK Mythologies: Sub Zero. NOBODY gave a shit about Mortal Kombat after Sub Zero.

Sub Zero is probably what killed MK. Well, maybe 4 kinda contributed to that too. And then Gold tried to bring the series back but ended up screwing the balance of certain characters (Sektor I'm looking at you), and on top of that it was released for the Dreamcast and by that time we had Soul Calibur already...by the time you were 8, Mortal Kombat was dead.

I'm talking about MK seriously because during my time, the time when the game first came out, it WAS serious. You're looking back on it from a child's point of view at the time when the game already had its last leg chopped off, and then was beaten to death with said leg. So your perception of Mortal Kombat is completely different from mine, and you're trying to make it sound like "Mortal Kombat was never serious!" when YOU WEREN'T EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW WHETHER IT WAS SERIOUS OR NOT. You came in so late you have no point of reference.

And also the idea that "Oh, it didn't last, that means it wasn't a big thing" is completely asinine. It's like you've never heard of the concept of fads before.
 
you're freaking out about it as if it's this huge thing right now, and it somehow deserves to be taken seriously and treated the true mortal kombat way*. No one cares how serious or big it was when you played it. Once again this is just another Darkside "MY NOSTALLLLGGIIAAA" sperg out with you.


* with magic warriors fighting dragon gods or some shit lmao
 
Just gonna say that I've seen a Mortal Kombat movie and it was awesome and this does not look awesome.
 
Alright first off Adrik, saying "lol sperg sperg sperg" doesn't actually give your points any more force. It's nice to know that you've hung around the internet long enough to learn a new insult, and we're all very proud of you, but it lacks punch. It's not actually driving any points home or even making me feel bad.

Also, as I've said earlier in the thread, even assuming it WASN'T Mortal Kombat, even if it had nothing to do with Mortal Kombat at all, it still LOOKS like a bad movie. As I said in the other thread, it's psychos with skin conditions and neuroses fighting each other for some reason. It's skewed camera angles, dirty sets, and color-washed scenes. It's Saw: The Fighter. On its own, it looks terribad. With the Mortal Kombat name slapped on it and the characters "reinvented," it looks like a cheap attempt to cash in on gamers' money with another bastardization.

It's funny how, when you look at how this forum responds to most video game movies, and then you look at this thread and Hokey's thread, it's like night and day. There's this huge disparity where people in other threads will say, "This doesn't look right! Why does this look like this? That's stupid! This isn't even the same as the game!" And then these two threads are like, "It's okay that they're different! It's a reimagining! It looks good and I'm gonna see it!"

It's like walking into a film forum and they're all suddenly praising Uwe Boll.
 
right because a mk movie needs to be an oscar winning tour de force and can't just be a campy kung fu movie that allows you to shut your brain off for a while to have some fun no of course not.

http://chud.com/articles/articles/23984/1/IS-THIS-VIDEO-FOR-THE-NEW-MORTAL-KOMBAT-MOVIE/Page1.html

Cat's out of the bag. This is for the movie, and it comes from the mind of genius fight choreographer Larnell Stovall. He's the guy who did the fights for the excellent Undisputed 3: Redemption, on DVD and Blu-Ray right now. I hope that this movie gets made with Larnell plotting the punches, because this guy isn't just a geek like us, he's also got an incredible skill and ambition to create the next generation of fight choreography.

What you don't seem to understand is that there is a line you can cross where you're no longer in 'so bad it's good' or 'mindless silly fun' territory, but instead treading through the land of 'I'm sure they had a fun time making this...' and 'I'm genuinely upset by the existence of this movie'. This is Meet the Spartans shit.

Well first off that's not what campy means, anyway. Nothing in that trailer was "campy." Secondly I like how you dodged my actual complaints about the movie on its own merits by responding with, "YOU SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO SHUT OFF YOUR BRAIN AND ENJOY IT."

See the sad thing is, the more you actually insult me in this thread, the worst this is looking for you from the point of view of anyone with half a brain viewing this thread. It's all, "Darkside's got aspergers," and hotlinked SA icons, but then in the face of actual criticism about the sets, the lighting, the character designs, the script--oh, I didn't address what I thought of the actual acting in that trailer, did I? Attrocious. Look at that "I know the camera's there! I'm gonna try to be creepy intentionally (and fail) to ham it up!" look Baraka gives--you say things like, "It doesn't have to win an Oscar!"
 
Compared to the pile of shit MKs have been in the last few years, I'd wager this trailer is a good indication that this new MK will be less horrible than the last two MKs.

Still won't be too good I fear, but if it is better than the last few, then I guess it is an "improvement"?
 
ahahaha oh my god you are complaining about acting in an MK movie yesssssssss (also my posting is never complete without my SA emotes. But yes I post there and Im quite used to them!)

Also I changed my mind:
