What would you do with the MK franchise?I'd just make a brand new game set in the future, with brand new characters.No references to previous characters.It could still be saved.
>>741896074It can't be saved if WB still publishes.
>>741896074I feel like the story got derailed when they introduced the alternate timelines idea in MK9. It’s clear Armageddon was meant to be the last MK, but to continue after that, they should have keep going with that timeline.
>>741896443MK9 was the right move considering it was the best one since 3 Ultimate.
>>741896762The PS2 trilogy was kino as well. As much as I like the 2D fighting style, I also kind of miss how the PS2 ones were.
>>741896074>Retcon everything after Armageddon and just have a straight sequel>Bring back the goofier aspects of the series and tone down the marvel shit and excessive fatalities >Base the gameplay around UMK3/MK9/MKX and keep the games fast paced while maintaining their identity >Cut down expensive crossover shit >Add a much more polished deception esque campaign >Stop mocapping/face scanning actors >Let the girls show skin and be shapely again >Go back to industrial/electronic soundtracks used in the 3D era games >Execute Ed Boone in front of a live audience
I miss playing cutthroat kano when mkx first dropped, such a great game
>>741896074A game with Shao Khan as the protagonist. No Earthworld characters, just bald guy konquering other realms.
I'm assuming I actually have the power to influence things in this hypothetical>buy it off WB>offer Tobias a stupid sum of money to return>give him and Boon total executive control over the property>establish an organization who's sole purpose is to provide the studio with as much pizza, beer and half naked women dressed like female ninjas that don't ask any questions as they require>once the next game they create is nearing completion, create a marketing campaign with tons of completely shameless tits, ass, ultraviolence and cool kung fu shit as possible>the day after release, make a new account on every modding site out there and release the totally not official nude and Sexality mod we definitely weren't making in house for every single character>pay someone to maintain a social media account that does absolutely nothing but respond to every single person out there complaining about the violence or sexuality by telling them to suck a barrel of diseased nigger dicks
>>741896074Fighting games are already struggling to keep playersMK has always been style over substanceIt only recently got the memo that gameplay needs to be somewhat functional.It took them up to MK9 to copy SF2 super meter with xrays.MK1 instead had ex moves or use full bar for combo breaker.Ultimately it's still a poor quality fighting game that relies on glorified win poses to shift units.Unironically MK saves itself by moving away from trying to force online play and evo.They need to increase content 20fold and have the majority of it single player with extensive story modes, individual story chapters for characters, more playable characters and a consistent story they don't asspull another universe reset or alternate dimension
turn it into a Musou
