Mortal Kombat 8: MMORPG? Fatality or Tickle-me-pinkality? |
Ó
If Digital Battle, the source of this, is as skeptical as we are, we can't blame them. They say they found that what-the-heck in the rumor section of the Official Xbox Magazine, April issue. Yeah, "Happy April Fool's Day" is a potential theory.Digital Battle points out that this might be a long-shot possibility, though, citing what Ed Boon said last year in the annual Fight Night Chat: "Mortal Kombat 8... will also go in a direction that nobody is going to expect" (MMO? We could imagine an RTS Mortal Kombat where you Zerg Liu Kang clones...).
We still want to to lean more in the direction of "Happy April Fool's Day"... although the concept behind a Mortal Kombat MMO isn't that too hard to imagine, if martial arts-themed games like 9Dragons are any clue. Still, it looks like the two most-spammed skills in such a game will be Fatalities... and Resurrection.

I won't play. No matter how great my love for Mortal Kombat I refuse to pay to play a game that I have already purchased.
lol
They need to lay this game to rest .....its already been saturated!!
Come on Mr Boom, move on .....invent another idea!
Cool i cant w8 unitl this come out this better be good.....unlike the last mk it suck i mean with over 50 characters its good but two fightin styles sucks.....
A true fan loves all Boon does so piss off everyone else with your piss weak comments that dont change a thing, dont like it, then shut up and move on..
Mk rocks
MKI and II: That's where the franchise shine and that's where the success started. When Midway came out w/ Mortal Kombat I w/ the realistic martial art digitized looking characters w/ tight dope @ss outfits, it was like watching Bruce Lee Enter the Dragon except you get to control it. But when Midway go a different direction w/ its 3-D looking characters, it's OVER...i don't even want to touch it...the characters are not the same and they don't have that feeling of martial arts shyt anymore. So forget it! I mean even when they came out w/ Mortal Kombat II, it still look tight...in fact i think II it's the best version of the series. But when they go 3-D, it sucks big time....characters look pathetic...outfits pathetic...some of them are just so pathetic...even Liu Kang and Kung Lao who I think are Asian based on their name alone looking NOTHING like Asian...wtf is that all about?? They have an asian female character who's name is Mei li (or some shyt) and SHE TOO look nothing like asian....how pathetic is that??? I am asian and i know what asian people look like but don't give me shytty american looking characters and sports asian names...it cries for stupidity...it almost seem like the original creators have left the team because the 3-D game look so different from the original.
So with that said, i am craving for Midway to go back to 2-D and bring back the feeling that once make this franchise great. Bring back the real looking characters of Johnny Cage w/ black pant and red belt tie...bring back the monks stage. And i remember that back then they were not able to replicate the exact version of the arcade due to inferior power of the consoles....but now that WE HAVE the technology to do it...why move to a different direction w/ 3-D, why not create the same looking 2-D and add more NEW characters. MKI and II was looking tight, don't change to 3-D, fighting game is meant for 2-D anyway...that's why game like Street Fighters are still popular.
yeah all you people need to shut your mouths, MMORPG or not mortal kombats always been awesome and it will always be awesome. what kind of idiot tells the to "lay the game to rest" they will never "saturate the franchise."
and to ed boon man i loved mka ecspecially kreate-a-fighter mode i've grown up with mk and could list probablly all the ones in the series and some of the off branching one like the sub zero ones. ne ways man never stop makin mortal kombat and if you want to retire there is a guy right here who would be more than happy to take your place. oh and I'm all for takin out all the old characters and replacing them with new ones, but i think you should make a come-back game for all the old one like a reunion game.
