Game With a Brain put up this render of Scorpion yesterday, didn't say where they got it from but it might be an in-game pose. Pretty nice uniform update, with the bone mask and all; but his tunic looks sorta like one of those beaded massagers cab drivers sit on. I kid, Mr. Scorpion, I kid.
So someone already did Dress Like Niko, can anyone tell me how much this business-caz ensemble goes for? I think I could pull off that look.
And remember children, bone masks are OK. Skull bongs are not.

He looks bad ass and I'm all for it.
This game is going to make all other bad games look like the messiah.
Gaaaaayyyy!!!
...uh, I mean Yaaaaayyyy!!!
Scorpion Skull Bong?
Eh, looks kinda gay. Like the whole idea. DC sucks.
looking at Scorpions feet... I wonder if he's related to the girl from Mirror's Edge?
his ninja look was much better
why he look so skinny...he not bulky anymore...looks kinda weak like even i could rip him a new one...*que for evil superman* "Go for it Kal-el! Beat his face in!"
I'm waiting for the special move where Wonder Woman busts out the Lasso of Truth and Scorpion admits to feelings of inadequacy and how he has a fetish for open toe heeled shoes..
*sigh* I'm really trying to keep an open mind for this game.. really I am.
Also, maybe its just me but his head just a quick flash back...but he looks like Darkwing Duck. but thats just me anyway.
How about we make a MK game that doesn't suck? Hmm? Or we can throw in Aqua Man and take out fatalities, either way!
So, what is exactly new about his look, other than the cowboy-ninja-boots? As far as I can tell it's just Scorpion, which is no bad thing when all points are considered.
Wow. I don't think the Mortal Kombat series has had an eye for character design or costumes since MK 1. BLech. Why do all of the characters still look as awful as the garbage movies they made from the 90's? WHY!?
Actually, he reminds me of a kid who thinks a mixed fashion statement from wrestlers, skateboarders, and ninjas is a good judgement call.
Kinda cool....but I am not digging those shoe/boot/ninja things.
As much as they try i still prefere the characters realistic designs from the first three Mortal Kombat, not only the looks but also the clothes they used back in those games!
I remember when the ninja guys in MK actually looked kinda sorta remotely like a ninja.
I kind of wish it was made out of cloth again, like the first two games.
@hampig:
OoioOO
TOASTY!
Looks neat, but I'm still not sold on the idea of an MK vs DC crossover, nor "adjusted" fatalities. And you can forget about that "Teen" rating.
Why has Midway gone chicken? I'm very disappointed.
The mask makes it look like he's getting it in the mouth from an Alien baby.
Did Scorpion lose weight? Ugh, everyone going on diets makes me feel so fat.
I like the look but not thegame.
im having a negative vibe from this picture
Nope. This game is not going to be good.
Although I relish the idea of beating up the lame heroes of the DC Universe.
Well at least the characters won't look like He-Man action figures anymore.
They look more like McFarlane figures now.
Wow, get fucking over here.
I would rather see it in motion.
Not much different from his last gen look.
Scorpion looks like he's trying to take a shit. And that mask of his looks like a damn snow plow.
@Big World: Been watching a bit of screw attack VGV have we?
Scorpion always looks cool, he was the original MK bad ass.
Scorpion: "Come check out my skull belt, you guys. See how dark and edgy I am being right now."
The MK Gang: "Rad, dude. That belt is totally dark and edgy, all the way."
Scorpion: "I know, right?"
Original Scorpion : [xbox360media.ign.com]
This new design is overly excessive.
can someone tell me why they even took fkn fatality's out? that is like what made MK ... MK..
man, they need some new artists.
Yes, that's right. Scorpion wears socks with sandals. He is officially middle-age and shopping in a supermarket.
With Midway hurting on sales I don't think de-balling arguably your main franchise will not get it done. It's kind of sad, cause I'll argue that MK II has as many nuance and glitch strategies when playing at a high level as Street Figher II. I even liked III but not as much. Ever since then downhill, the last couple they made were basically button mashers like soul caliber.
That's a badass looking scorpion!!
He looks cool but seriously, how on earth could you mess up Scorpion's render? Make an intern do it? I can't wait to see what a de-powered Superman is going to look like! Heck, I can't wait to see the rest of the roster!
Really? We're still calling stuff 'gay' in kotaku comments? Really?
Not bad looking, but I dislike the pattern on his uniform, plus that skull on his belt piece is too big; it almost looks like a championship wrestling belt piece. lol
I imagine this could be a great B-Game. I'm not expecting it to be mind blowing, ground breaking or any of that, but once the price drops it could be a great budget title to have fun with.
socs with sandles? damnit scorpion when will you ever learn!?
Skull bong. Hardcore.
Skull Bong...makes me think of the movie How High. "I don't wanna smoke a finger!!"
@TomSkylark: Only the twelve-year-olds do.
He looks rubbish. His faceplate is too big and he has too much gubbins around him. Why does he still look the same? I got really exited when MK3 was coming out: I saw Cyrax and thought Scorpion had been turned into a robot, but no. Back he came, good as new in UMK3. MK2 Scorpion was the best. Or Shaolin Monks... This game still looks too similar to the last few. I was expecting something more along the lines of Dead or Alive or Virtua Fighter for the revamp, but no, DC characters dropped into the old games with a bit of air kombat for good measure... No thanks.
