TOOT BOOT posted:Is MK11 getting any more DLC? Seems weird that there would be a new movie coming out but zero tie-in. There are rumors of a kombat pack featuring Cole. Who knows though, maybe they just couldn't make it work with the developer. The movie is going to do numbers and it's coming out at a perfect time, I don't think they're too worried.

Somebody actually sat down and made the original characters from the old Malibu comics into playable characters in MUGEN, like Bo the bodyguard or Seng, the twin monks who could fusion dance. It'd be a deep cut, but I'd respect the hell out of NRS for throwing one of those idiots in there. Also, it opens the door to Goro returning someday with his giant gently caress-off Proton Cannon as a fatality.

pretty soft girl posted:Dumb question and I'm not being sarcastic or trolling with this I swear For the most part no, the leads tend to be bankable stars. I’m sure they have good stunt teams and pretty good choreographers but it’s not like John Wick or anything. They did cast Simu Liu, who has a martial arts background, as Shang Chi. Though to be honest with the way that the Marvel movies rely on CG for their fight scenes I wouldn’t expect anything on the level of what MK looks to have or the aforementioned Wick movies.

Yeah John Wick was sort of where my mind went to in terms of not necessarily needing a dedicated martial artist/stunt guy to make things look good. My assumption of MCU movies was they're primarily composed of video game cutscenes I'm usually frantically mashing A to skip, but I've never actually seen one so it felt pretty unfair until the aforementioned Scott Adkins atrocity

I get what you're saying, but that's not really fair to the Sam Worthingtons of the world. Keanu Reeves is literally as close as you can get to a martial arts/stunt guy while still being an actor. Dude has 22 years of training.

Also John Wick is directed by stunt guys too. It’s one of the only major studio American productions that takes fight choreography seriously.

Marvel's process, for better or worse, is to pre-vis all the fight scenes before the movie is even shot. They then have a separate team working on all that stuff (which is very CGI heavy, but they also have a second unit director shoot live plates with the actors) while the "main" director does the other stuff. A director actually walked away from a movie because she couldn't get DisneyMarvel to let her direct her own action scenes.

I always figured I was a good authority on Mortal Kombat history, but I was watching a video on MK lost media and cancelled projects and I came across something eye-opening. In 2000, there was a short-lived web series called Mortal Kombat: Federation of Martial Arts where the idea was that you gamble fake money on absolutely atrocious live-action fights between MK characters (some played by people from the movies and Conquest). Each round is under a minute long. Just look at this poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tWE7G1WLEY

Have a technical question for you all. I purchased the MK11 Ultimate Edition Kombo pack with Injustice 2 today, for PS5. Injustice seemed to install just fine with all the goodies...but MK11 seems to be a broken mess of kontent that won't install??? So I've installed both the PS4 and PS5 versions, and I have been able to get Rainn and Rambo to install in the PS4 version, no DLC characters on the PS5, but a kouple kostumes showed up, and when I click on Aftermath it tries to sell me it again for 50 bucks, but also it tells me I own it??? Any thoughts? The little bit I've played is fantastic, I'm sure I can enjoy it without the extras, but you know, I did pay for them. PS5 tech support was very unhelpful, they told me to kall hardware support tomorrow, so maybe its something to do with the system...

IDK about PS5 specifically but I remember unlocking/redeeming content being strange on PS4 and having a similar issue where the in game options were just trying to charge money again. There was something I had to do from the library or settings screen, but IDK what the ps5 interface looks like

Smoking Crow posted:i found the e3 trailer for mk deadly alliance from way back in 2001. what does any of this have to do with mortal kombat Imagine that it’s E3 2001. The last pieces of MK media to come out are Special Forces, MK Gold and Mortal Kombat Conquest. The end of the year will see one more total loving disaster with a dragon logo on it in MK Advance, which may very well have been “playable” (insomuch as it could be playable) on the show floor. That Korn-rear end trailer shows up teasing more MK, which I have to imagine sounds more like a threat than a promise. It is the absolute worst year to be an MK fan. Worse than Annihilation, worse than Armageddon/the death of Midway. Do you think anyone believed that Midway was capable of making a game good enough to make MK relevant again? MK has avoided death so many times but I feel like if Deadly Alliance had bombed that just would have been it. Looking back, it seems like such a miracle that it was good.

Honestly the bigger miracle was 9 being as good as it was and kicking off three great games in a row. It was the first time there was an actual quality game streak in the series since... when did UMKT come out? 1995?

I enjoyed Deadly Alliance and Deception. I remember Deception's single player being a lot of fun; I'd much rather have something like that than the current Krypt, which is endless grinding to maybe have a small chance of possibly getting something you want. Barely played Armageddon as it wasn't released on Xbox in the UK, and my PS2 had been stolen. I ended up with a pirate copy but bought a 360 shortly after, and the Xbox got relegated to an XBMC box. I think there was a Wii release but I'm sure that was horrible, as Wii ports usually were.

Deception’s single player was really cool and the Krypt in MK11 definitely gave me similar vibes. It was kind of grindy but then again Deception still had like five different kinds of coins and a lovely krypt. Not as bad as Deadly Alliance’s Krypt which was absolute bs, but still annoying to have to do one specific thing to grind red coins to unlock something.

I had the sudden picture of Fu Manchu taking his wife and young son home from a nice night out to the Peking opera only for the couple to be murdered in an alley by an occupying European trooper leaving only an orphan boy to grow up and seek revenge on said murderer and all of his kind.

Most of that can be attributed to being bought out by WB - the Midway era, particularly towards the end, was made under intense pressure and strict schedules because they were basically carrying Midway after all their other big projects flopped, got cancelled, stuck in dev hell, etc and when they switched to WB they were given reasonable time and budget to properly see their games through.
