While I do not like the 3D era in the slightest, they did have some cool stages. Seeing some of them in a modern way would be cool.

I personally didn't like the lore at all. Or most of the new characters. And direction they took many of the klassic characters. The general gameplay was also pretty clunky.
Totally agree. I personally didn't like any of the Order Realm, Chaos Realm, the Red Dragon clan, Taven, Daegon, One Being, Onaga and Blaze stuff at all.
Yup. The new realms, plot lines, characters, etc. were all second rate, and again, there's a reason it's considered the low point for the franchise. Those who do like it tended to have grown up with it, so there's certainly rose coloured glasses in effect there. Which I get and that's cool. Nostalgia is a very powerful thing, and that goes for those of us who prefer the original trilogy too.
It was interesting, but completely overshadowed by Jade Empire, an action RPG by BioWare that did everything it was trying to do but vastly better. I last played it closer to a decade ago (Konquest Mode), and it has aged very, very poorly.
I agree for most of it. Still, these second rate worlds, plot and stages, had some mystery and sinister mk atmosphere. The 3d chars while many of them unbearable, still were somewhat good plot drivers, adding some drama and intrigue, pushing factions. Eventually supporting the main cast and world build, while extending the lore without timeline cheese and future past selfs.
Imagine if MKX's story mode was actually the MKX comic story arc. But with a Shinnok chapter in the end, instead of ending with 'just' Havik.Story wise, 3d era plot is miles better than current nrs plot.
Even tho the tournament will forever be the best, we cant stay at it forever, and the direction that the story took with mkx and mk11 just aint good.
You cant tell me that gun fighters special forces plot and freaking kronika time travel stuff is better than exploring all different realms and lore the game has.
The only cool part of modern games’ stories was the outworld civil war, and it lasted like 4 chapters
^This is very well put, and a very fair assessment overall. Kudos.
I still maintain a plotline focused solely on the Outworld Civil War would have been fantastic.
Kinda poor wording on my part in the title & OP, but my idea was which two non-used 3D characters to make it into MK12 since they're rolling out 2-3 new people each game. Bro had his time as DLC so excluded.
Kai was originally Nepali until Armageddon gave him cornrows and a beard. While I'm probably one of the few who like Kai I don't like his Armageddon look and I'd hate to see it come back over the MK4 design.
I don’t think they're even going to introduce any new characters from that era. I imagine Liu Kang will help Great Kung Lao defeat Goro, but right after that he’ll leave that era and travel to some point in the future in hopes he changed history for the better (though he’ll probably find out that he caused an invasion of evil or smthn like that lol). That way any character could still be alive for the rest of the story.
I don't think that's ever going to happen. Characters like Johnny and Sonya are some of the most recognizable faces of MK among the general public. Some of us fans may be tired of them, but they do sell a LOT of copies. Even when kombat kids got introduced they still stayed in the game, cause WB will not let them go as long as they make them money. Story will never be a priority for WB because casuals don't care much about lore.
Yes. They absolutely sell.
