    Mortal Kombat

    Franchise »

    The Mortal Kombat series, and its many games, continues to deliver gruesome fighting action to its fans.

    Wouldn't it be cool if they used real actors for sprites again?

    I would have hated that to be honest, I can play MK2 if I want to see silly-looking sprites with silly animations.  (Not a diss on the game, it's a cool style but I am glad MK9 uses polygonal characters)

    Now that would be cool.  I'm surprised they haven't.  Hasn't there been a ton of rumors about one?

    I'm now hiring an elite squad of assassins to ensure that your suggestion never reaches the world at large. Have a lovely final 30 seconds.

    As long as they don't render stills and touch them up or whatever they they did for the new MK characters at the select screen. They're all so terrible looking in a "funny, yet this should not be real or official" way. At least in the demo.

    I think it would be funny as DLC alternate costumes for the characters, but definitely not how they should have made the actual game.

    No and no. It would look janky. Hi-res sprites don't mix well with few frames.
     
    But look at what they doing with L.A. Noire... they're basically scanning actors and use them in the game. That the closest you'll get to your dream.

    Yeah, but I am sure that would look pretty weird.  Either they use Hi Res images but keep the same animations and frame counts and the game looks janky as hell, or they build up a new game from the ground up which would be pretty cool, but don't know if it would be worth their time and money at this point.  There is another game doing this though, but I can't remember the name.  Or I don't even know if it was a game or some kind of concept trailer.  Anyway, it looked cool.  Someone find that shit!
