Is it me or do some of the characters look like they had some extra work with them compared to others?

One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).
Bad character models?
I think some of the voices are kinda weak like Sub and Smoke..
At work we checked out the models for MK vs DC by ripping them out and putting them in 3dsmax. The quality of the modeling was piss poor, texture work as well, with a lot of wasted space on the texture sheets. Diffuse, Specular, Normal maps were all pretty bland looking.
I mean, most third person shooters had better work done to their characters (ex. Gears of war, Prince of Persia, etc)
I guess some models in this one are given the same treatment they were given in MKDC.
" @warxsnake: I wonder if they are using the same engine, I will have to look to see if they are that or Unreal.Yeah I think the new one is unreal, they polished it up some more. Models are models though, those don't change from one (nextgen) engine to the other, just the way they are rendered and lit.I saw a picture of Lui Kang from MK vs. DC and he looked better and not to be offensive but more "asian" than the new version. Same goes for Kung Lao. I can realistically see this game being released next year as an "Ultimate" Edition though with all the bells and whistles and hopefully upgraded character models with texturing. It is just odd that some of the most important characters look so bad."
Its not something you really notice while playing the game but with the story mode showing off these character models, it is very noticeable. They just look like they are from completely different games. My gf also said that the women look too manly with their proportions. Everyone has a 8 pack in the game.

"I like the women, they actually look like they could beat some goddamn ass. Muscle definition is sexy.
" @Yanngc33 said:Rawr." The regular bare chested human characters do look a little weird but all in all they look superb "Johnny Cage looks awesome "
Muscle girls are fucking hot and i get the urge to stroke every time I see Sonya.
Also I'm guessing the character models look the way they do because they all have to be able to split in half, blow to pieces, melt, burn, and turn into babies. And if anything was done differently the game would cease to function properly and be a complete fucking mess.

" @kingzetta: They should! I kinda get the feeling this will be his costume in the next installment, although I love his current two costumes now too. "It's either a very good thing or a very bad thing, that the game is like a week old and I like "Soooo is MK10 coming out in soon?"
@damswedon: an awesome douche bag <3

I think it would be hilarious." @kingzetta said:They should make that costume DLC, that and kabal's ending costume.

" Does anyone else think Kabal looks kind of stupid? I'm ok with most of it, except for his hair. "YES! the ponytails, why does he have ponytails!? lol

I mean, most third person shooters had better work done to their characters (ex. Gears of war, Prince of Persia, etc)We loaded up SF4 and it was the other way round. A lot of attention to detail, very good model unwraping, etc."

" @Akrid: Yea I hate the way his face looks also.I think some of the voices are kinda weak like Sub and Smoke.. "
oh for sure I had to agree with you on this voice. "Where there is smoke there is fire" I cringe everytime.
