What's new

IMDB says "Scorpion finds out truth and makes alliance with Sub-Zero?"

What if bi-han got his soul back instead of being destroyed by the soulnado? Bi-han wouldn't have known about the Shirai Ryu massacre either.

I think Scorpion will find the truth... And will force Quan Cho ir Shinnok no make Sub-Zero come back to life or something.

It also makes sense that this subzero would be human since bi-han would have been restored, and kuai liang would have stayed a robot. Not to mention he is a minion of the netherrealm currently
 
If this is true, it's probably Kuai Liang.It happened in the 1st timeline as well.
Bi- Han killed scorpion anyway, so he could never be totally innocent.
And even there is a "Sea of Subzeroes" until the end of the first timeline only these 2 brothers were members of the Lin Kuei with "magical ice powers".( and then Frost)

The clan sub zero is in trains like, magical ice warriors. There's tons of sub zeros so to speak. This might be a new sub zero since the first 2 are dead.
Yeah you are right, this Sub-Zero will probably just fight to defend his Clan's honor.

If scorpion is going to be the main character and focus of the story, I'll probably need to use someone else.

That's just too much bandwagon for me.

Well I talked about MKX being on an entirely separate storyline and how the next game would need to be some form of MKDA style thing.
So maybe Scorp/Sub are the new deadly alliance?
 
You all realize that you can edit it to say anything right? I guess Liu is going to get it on with Mileena then too.

Just so certain folks know, the topic wasn't posted to discuss IMDB's "edit feature" but if you feel this can be true, since you know this kind of happened in MK 4 originally? So I don't believe IMDB is totally off base.(if it even is) Boon said the story starts shortly after MK9 then spans out to 25 years in the future. I'd say this is likely at some point if anything.

Is it a confirmed jumping or streamlined?
Ed Boon in the Gamespot presentation said:
This game covers a number of time periods. . . it has elements from right after mk9, 5 years ahead, 15 years ahead, 25 years ahead... we're not necessarily telling the story linearly, we're doing it in periods of time
I'm assuming character specific chapters are still happening, so I'd wager either its the kind of thing where a few characters chapters are 5 years back, some are 10, some are 15, and then we finish on the newbies in current day, or its like an MKvDC thing where you just kinda pick a character or a period of time and its not until you watch them all that you get the whole deal.

Either way I'm excited. I could mean a lot of alts (youngs and olds) and/or a lot of cameos ala Konquest. We were promised a lot of that in Injustice and it did not deliver IMO.

I'm really impressed that they continue to find fun ways to tell stories when most of the industry is still stuck on text bubbles and matte paintings.

That's why I love NRS games, I mean if you compare MK vs. DC, MK 9 and Injustice story telling modes to say Capcom, Tekken etc. NRS tears those games a new asshole easily....

I can't wait to see it in the new game, if that gameplay looks that gorgeous. Can you imagine how good the cinematic sequences will look? Drools lol

Capcom sucks at everything beyond just making a good fighting game, but to their credit, Namco has actuallydone a good job in the past, the extra stuff they wrote in to fill out their mission modes in the soul series was boss and I especially liked the way that in Tekken 4 a lot of the endings tied directly together to form the narrative. Unfortunatelytheir last few games have really just shit the bed in terms of plot. SCV didn't even have multiple playable characters in story mode. What a mess.

lol Well it's good to see and hear a real MK fan who doesn't want things SF or Injustice have "in MK" and let it do it's own thing. I agree, I mean also it's hard for Capcom fans now to bash NRS, MK etc given their recent situation lol. Yeah, even though I think Tekken's story is rather silly half the time I do think Namco has done better then Capcom but all fighters now should really take a page out of NRS's book when it comes to telling a story, extra modes etc I lost track of the Tekken plot since I felt it went kind of south, silly etc. Yeah I heard from a lot of my SC friends that the storymode was weird. I played SC4 but skipped on SC5.

I think even Smash brothers has a better story telling mode then those other fighters, except for MK and Injustice though. I just love the style of NRS. I mean WB goes all out hiring pro actors, having NRS create an actual CGI movie more or less. That's serious effort. I'm curious to see what side modes we get too.

I don't really care what Capcom / NRS / Namco / Sega or anybody do with their games as long as its good. People want to play the allegiance game to feel good at the end of the day, that fine. All I'm about is good fighting game packaages, and I just think we've reached a point where NRS has proven a competent story helps a fighting game. Maybe its not essential, but the fact that MK9 and Injustice's story modes were actually serious selling points for a lot of people, I think its something that merits looking into. Capcom preached a lot early on about how they were learning things from MK9 about storytelling but both Ultimate Marvel (admittedly, it would've been hard to change that) and SfXt still wound up with. . well this;


Even if you ignore the fact that the writing is goofy as shit, the music, the animation, the dub, the camera work, the releavance to the gameis like, who fucking cares? Who paid good money to mocap and record that (in multiplle languages, no less) when nobody will ever watch that a second time ever? What a waste.
