    While a different game altogether, Midway's "The Grid" felt like it was planned to be the successor to Smash TV, even though it was a weird combo of fighter and FPS deathmatch game. #smashtv

    I'm so sick and tired of people bashing the franchise. They clearly have no idea what the hell they are talking about.
    Play Mortal Kombat Shoalin Monks, play deception, play deadly alliance and just quit bashing the franchise that made violence in video games what it is today.
    Bow down to the innovators of video game violence.

    In reply to Warner Bros. Wants To Revolutionize Online Mortal Kombat
    The problem here is simple...the first few mortal kombat games were big because of their shock value and jump to realistic graphics.

    Flash forward to 2009, and excess gore and realistic models no longer have the same attention holding powers they did in 1998. Blood in games is old news and even fatalities have lost the luster they once had. What they need to do is introduce fundamental changes in the game series.

    They need to up the technical aspect of combat, introduce some new interesting characters, and perhaps go with a fresh artistic design. I think there were great ideas like introducing weapons and kreate a kombatant, but I still thing some fundamental changes to the series need to take place.

    Try 1992 or 1993. MK was old news by '98.

    @Paul_Is_Drunk: I would put it at 1995 with the release of Mk3. After that the series started to go down hill.

    I find it funny that most of the hardcore gamers are dismissing Mortal Kombat, yet MK VS. DC sold a million copies and was decently recieved by the critics.
    Some people are never satisfied.

    Take MK vs DC, take out the DC characters and replace them with a shitload more MK characters. Add lots of blood, call it Mortal Kombat: Resurrection or something. Release it. Great game.

    Mortal Kombat 1-3 was my first videogame obsession. I was probably 12 y.o when I used to play it religiously.Having now played it years later on the PS3 I realise how unplayable and cheap the Computer opponents could be.I hate to say it but I don't think any non japanese develloper could ever make a good fighting game worth a damn.Hell if a japanese developer worked on MK, that would be perfect, both fighting and art style wise.

    @Wolf_Dog:
    yeah, just what we need - mortal kombat with the AI of soul calibur.
    There are only 2 fighting games worth playing.
    Virtua Fighter 5
    UFC
    the japanese fighting game genre has been as stagnant as its rpg genre - and virtua fighter is the only franchise that was solid enough to justify skipping any innovation.

    Say what you want about MK. The series still rules, the games are cool, even DC was cool to play, I liked it a lot. It´s true, it lacked gore, it was like soft porn, in a way, but still good regardless of that. And... MK dead since IV? Deadly Alliance was so much better than IV it isn´t even funny. I love this series and will support it anyway! Shaolin Monks was also a lot of fun. They should release a new adventure game too :D

    @Lucasreis: Damn right. So sick of people saying it's "dead" when, since the revamp of Deadly Alliance, all of the games have been above average and absolutely fun for fans of the series, and I'd go so far as to say MK Deception is easily one of the best fighting games of the PS2/XBox/GC generation. No, they aren't technical fighting masterpieces like Virtua Fighter or whatever, but if you want that, GO PLAY THAT GAME. Oh, and MK vs. DC was a hell of a lot of fun. I would look forward to a similar game minus the DC character but adding the ridiculous violence back in.
    Not to mention the MK series has always had by far the best storyline/mythos of any fighting series.

    @KaneRobot: People seem to forget what the MK franchise has done for the video game industry. They brought violent gaming to the fray. The ESRB exists because of them.
    So what if they had a few bad tracks. Who doesn't? MK9 will shut most people up, while others will still complain because it's MK and that they wanted their favorate franchise to do what MK did for the industry.

    Mortal Kombat the MMORPG:
    "I need you to go get his skull, spine, liver and skin"
    "Okay, are they locked in a chest or something?"
    "No, he's still alive and right over there. Now get to work!"
    Attacks:
    1. Punch (Press Crouch for Low Punch
    2. Kick (Press Crouch for Low Kick)
    3. High Punch (Unlocked at level 5)
    4. High Kick (Unlocked at level 7)
    5 Guard (Unlocked at level 10, but people rarely use it. It's like cannibalism for the Undead in WoW, fun at first but...)
    The rest are special attacks, which you cannot use till you've pressed the the right combinations of punches and kicks.
    This would be a really interesting game! Although, Races are limited; Humans and Robots.

    @Cloudleet:
    Humans, Robots, and Lizardmen. The backstory behind lizardmen is that after winning Mortal Kombat Reptile then went into mating season and produced over 1 million small lizards who later formed there own race of the Lizardmen. They currently reside in a small ecosystem great living conditions for lizardpeople in what is now known today as "Louisiana", and yes they are a democracy and they're president is know and Reptar to this day, he consumes human intestines.
