Stages Discussion

The Pit I. I'm a bit unnerved that the
Smoke's MK3 portal: That one background everyone forgets about, the desolate wasteland that was basically a mish-mash of the Pit III's floor, and the Choose Your Destiny background with character towers vaguely visible in the back:
I find it's really suggestive of the crap state the world was in after Kahn stole everyone's soul, moreso than the city backgrounds. Rework the towers into actual skyscrapers lost among desert sands or rubble, and it could have a great post-apocalyptic, Mad Max-ish feel.

That's my favourite stage with favourite soundtrack.
Also to add that Scorpion's Lair is 99% confirmed, cuz we all saw when he won in that video that he teleported to hell.I don't think they'll model a whole stage just for his victory animation.


judging by the candles and the stairs in the middle where the altar should be I think this is The Cathedral(formerly the kombat temple and church)not entirely sure though since its an intro camera angle and I havent seen the EGM pics of it yet.
I hope Scorpion's lair makes the cut, sadly in scorpion's win pose he teleports to an open area in the netherealm.
Now all that I would like to see is The Bell Tower judging how epic the moon looks on The Pit 2 i can imagine this stage looking gorgeous, and finally the wasteland that can be made into something really awesome.

Quick Notes
-The Living Forrest does not look menacing at all. I remember playing MK2 back in the day. The Living Forrest seemed so menacing, depressing, lonely, and dark. It was the stage I loved to hate. This new stage makes the trees look more comical than anything.
-The Pit was done perfectly. Besides ruining Kenshi's possibilities, I love how there are people on the other bridge fighting. It was really cool to see Hornbuckle fight Blaze in MKSM, and its really cool seeing Daegon and Reiko fight now.
-The street is forgettable. The rooftop just doesn't look that good. It needs to be night time there.
-Kahn's Arena, the Deadpool and the Throne Room look great. The crowd cheering is such a great addition. Little things like that really add to a game.
-Warrior Shrine and the Courtyard need to be in this game. How great would it be to see the ninja statue just explode in the middle of a fight and Ermac appears in its place. I loved how he was at the Warrior's Shrine in MKSM. The Courtyard could have the guards roaming around, and if Kung Lao isn't there fighting at the moment Kung Lao can reveal himself as a guard. I didn't like MKSM's story, but I did like the idea that Kung Lao was hidden at the tournament

he was hidden as a masked guard, which in my opinion was funny cause lui kang bicylced kicked him lol

You are right. I just compared that image to the one from EGM with Reptile and Sektor in. The candles are the same. The reflection of the glass in the image with Sub-Zero, is the same as that behind Sektor. Also, the statue with the dragon head behind Sub-Zero, is the same one you see behind Reptile.
So yeah, 99% sure this would be the Church/Kombat Temple.
