Shang Tsung certainly has enough history to create a game around. I picture it like a Conquest type game where Shang Tsung, takes his journey making enemy after enemy......
I'll post more on this idea in a bit....gotta run. Tell me what ya think....
EDIT:
O.k. So in this game, you'd start out much like young Shujinko did and travel the EXTREMELY long life of Shang Tsung.
In the begining, you'd be trained, but by the younger, more agile, Master Bo Rai Cho. What would be odd about the training, is that Raiden, should be a "friendly". As you(youth Shang Tsung) would play as though you were beign preped for the (then) early Mortal Kombat tournament. You should gain intimate information about the conception of the tournament through your trainers and peers. Since this is so, it should be well understood how nieve young STsung is.
This game could be an opportunity to introduce some of the comic book characters like, the brothers "Saing", early Goro and his father, and maybe even get a glimse of the very, very young Elder Kung Lao. You can tell from this how far in the past this game would take place and could even begin before the Elder Kung Lao exsisted and run through and past his reign as champ.
Now, objectives would start out like this:
1. Train yourself. This would include anything, but chosen from three to five fighting styles we've seen from him in the past. From Mk1, all the way up to MkA. His training should include at least two hand to hand styles and 1 weapon style. The fun in this though, is you should be able to choose which of those styles you want to use from a pool of about 10 styles total. 8 hand to hand, and 3 weapon styles. Could be more per... You'd probably start out with "street fighting" and then, through experience points, you can gain the ability to learn other styles throughout the game. Experience points could be used to get access to that next desired fighting style, make yourself "stronger" with the styles you are already comfortable with, or get to Shangs' many posibilties. To list a few:
1. "The Art of Deception 1:Begginers Morphing"(manipulating others through barganing and wordplay-- Should be something storywise, Shang Tsung stumbles onto....And likes..)
2. "Harness Your Chi: Sommons" (meditation to regain power from within, small fireballs, and maybe basic fatalies..)
3. "Murder: Curses" (Gateways to major sourcery, small fireballs, more ellaborate fatalites, "Suggestion", which means spells or mental manipulations through sourcery)
4. "The Way of The Snake: Morphing" (morph into pedestrains and armed soldiers, secondary bosses)
5. "Darkeness Bleeds: Taint" (Major Fatalities, multiple fireballs, ect)
6. "The Serpants Venom: Soul Stealing" (Soul Summons and healing taken by force from others....."Escape Death" like in the MkDeception fmv./// Manipulate souls taken to do deeds for you. ///Animalities, Brutalities... Major sourcery, gain access to Soulnado..ect)
Anyway, as you go through the game you understand the real relationship between Tsung and Shao Kahn. You could come to realize how the dispositions between Shang and Raiden and how they developed. There could very well be a stage in the game that takes you through the escapes Shang Tsung made while in captivity by Shao Kahn....
Other possiplities: Shed a little more light on his connections with Quan Chi and how that came about. You may even go through the motions of Deadly Alliance and "kill" Shao Kahn and Liu Kang. Battle Raiden with Quan Chi and then decive him, only to find out what REALLY happended after that explosion.
The end of the game could see him die, or sneek off again in some "true-to-character" fasion. This one character still has alot of potential...especially in his past.
In this game you should see Shang Tsung win and loose over and over again....A rollercoaster type game. That's alot of peoples' perception of Tsung anyway. He's a "Boss", that never truley wins....

I've always wanted to see the MK Comic characters in an MK fighting game, along with being involved with the storyline. So much characters have massive potential.
Siang looks bad ass, and Grum (the 6 armed shokan) is another character I'd want in (he'd make a cool future sub-boss).
Zaggot was a powerful Sorcerer, whom was the god of Chaos. Abacus was his brother and was the god of Order.
Henge was this strong creature made of rock. He was grey and huge; I think he would make a good future sub-boss as well.
Other powerful characters like Draxxon and Caan would make awesome future threats. I'd have Draxxon be the next powerful evil after Blaze; Caan would help the good guys destroy him (while still being slightly tainted).
I'd have Hydro return and side with Noob Saibot instead of Smoke. Smoke would set himself free, and Noob would venture off into the Netherealm where Hydro would find him. Hydro would be pure evil, with intentions to lead the Lin Kuei as a force of evil. He would still have his double swords, and his outfit would be an aqua/teal colour instead of blue. He would look kind of pirate-like.
There was alot of Special Forces characters as well. Vapor and Lance come to mind. Rojack was this villian who I think would make a sweet new character. Two new god-like characters would be Wynd and Rayne, but then again, they'd probably copy Fujin and Rain too much. Maybe they'd appear in a konquest/story mode only, or send you to run missions for them from the heavens.
But IMO, they wizard characters would make the best future bosses, such as Zaggot and Draxxon. However, IMO they shouldn't make the storyline exactly like it is in the comic. They should maybe twist things a bit.
While we're on the subject of these new characters, I'd also want Mortal Kombat Conquest characters in (the show). Some characters in there were sweet (especially Quan Chi's servants, whom would make lovely ladies
), not to mention other females like Omegis, Vorpax, and Kreeya. Classics like Siro, Lori, Taja, and Tomas would return as well. Kiri would be a new Saurian warrior; Kebral and Jola would be new Black Dragon warriors. Bannak would be the leader that returns, whom was thought to have been dead. He'd want Kano and others completely wiped out.
Thats just me.....but IMO, they'd all be sweet if they were involved somehow. I mean, if you can't come up with good new characters, why not use those ones? The possiblities are endless.

Here's a few slightly older ideas I dug up. First one is mine, Second one is AxeMan61. Note: some of the facts involved with these ideas may be dated.
==========================================================
Sorry I wrote a "book', But you will like this, I can almost garrauntee it.............
What I'm sayin' is, in the beginning, whenever you first start out trying to make a product that will sell and that people will like, the effort and motivation that goes into the product is appearent.
It seems to me that the effort that goes into these newest games are lacking a bit in the creativity that was MK. I was in the habbit of consistantly being surprised in the MK series and that's far before my introduction to this forum or even full internet exposier. (most info about the game I could get)
Anyway, the point to this is, with MK8 being declared a next gen console game.
How creative do you expect them(mk team) to get with the new possibilities.
I personally, will take offense to anything less than a modernized MK1/2/3. In that, I mean, the dangerousness that once was, the darkness, the fact that everybody knew nothing of the kind of secrets we should or would or could get.
Ex. Nobody knew about a blood code around my way for a while. But then when we found it out, it opened up a whole new world within' the same game.
See?
Even though we have secrets, none of them affect the whole experience on the game anymore(maybe a mode here or there). I think we might need some "New Blood" in the creation of the future games in order to restore the kind of bombshells the first few games had.
We don't have a heavy hitting "blood code" any more and speculation//exploitation of new or secret characters gets old IMO. I say that because once you exploit the secret character, then what?
What else can you do to the game? How many more characters do I have to find? How many more modes do I have to be subject to?
How about these ideas?:
1. A code that takes the characters you fight with, into an entirely "animality" based fight. Like Primal Instict or think of the way Jet Li fought in "Unleashed".
The primal part of how he fought in that movie was crazy. Imagine if our fighters fought like that, representing the animal within instead of just turning into an animal.
Or, it would also be fantastic as well if they turned into animals and still maintained "a" fighting style of some sort. Kinda like showing us where matial arts comes from, but on a primal level.
This I think would enhance the fighting experience, yet keep the game the same enough to except and enjoy the change.
Note: Alot of martial arts styles are named after animals already.
2. Maybe something that allows us to fight in the darkened fatality mode. Kinda like the arena in MKD that turns from a tropical island into a deadly, living scene. In this darkened state alone it allows for the round fatalities. Not just knock 'em into the thing in the background and they die at anytime.
It should give a sense of ergency and also rely on how good the player is with manipulating his opponent. It could also be an opportunity type thing where if, while in this mode, and fighting around a particular area, you do a strong punch or kick or combo ender, then you get to see a round fatality. Only then.
I feel it's far too easy right now to knock my opponent into a trap and win. That's not fun to me because I wanna fight the entire clock out or be surprised by a round fatality. Think of the Arena where if you're on the edge you can fall off. But it should be so rare within this mode.
Can you just see people getting more "aggresive"(more of a pupose is added to the Aggressor feature in MK3/T) when the screen gets darker and "It's Time!" to go berzerk and try and finish off your opponent? This should have like a time limit and be triggered by the more aggressive player. Maybe 10-20 sec. The benefit in this feature could be a slight increase in damage delt, maybe an added visual effect to the aggressor as well.
The Adrenaline Rush would be crazy right?
(One More)
3. How about even more interaction with the Arena.?
Take the shaolin monk arena, with the monks as the crowd.Y'know?
How about allow us to throw or knock an opponent into the crowd and fight amogst the on viewers? Maybe have the crowd scream and move out of the way.
Think like in a football game when the player flies into the crowd. Or WWF when the fight goes into the crowd. The fight doesn't stop does it? Noooo, it keeps going and people, innocent people, are bound to get hurt in the process. *evil chuckle*
They might even get involved in the fight slightly, and turn the tide for the otherwise loosing party. Or not. I think this could be interesting because they are Shaolin Monks, they fight too.
Just think, some random monk jumps up out of his seat after accidentally being hit using the crane style or something, and now you not only have to beat your opponent, but you have to fend off in-raged by standers as well.
It would start to look like an old martial arts film or something. COOL!!!
Imagine my #2 involvled with all this. Wow.
--------------------------
This is my opinion and some supporting ideas.
To everyone who reads this, What do you think and what are your ideas as well?
I like pics but they're not nessasry, so feel free to add anything you want to help explain/ilustrate your point in this thread.

Deadhead - An idea for death traps!
When the first info about Deception was released, something everybody was talking about was death traps. The idea of being able to kill someone mid-game was pretty cool.
However, it turned out not to be so cool in the end. The main problem was the way you ended up in a death trap. You could combo someone in the red area near a trap and they wouldn't get thrown in, no matter what you tried. On the other hand, a simple punch was sometimes all it took to make someone crash through a barrier and towards their doom.
I always hated people on-line that would only fight with death traps turned on and would subsequently only choose the Nexus. The ending is predictable of course, they moved before the round and death trapped me.
So when I heard about interactive fatalities, the next logical step would be interactive death traps.
So this is my idea:
You (Kenshi) and your opponent (Bo' ) are fighting in the prison stage. Bo' is in danger while you're virtually unharmed so he starts to F3 and throw you. One of those F3's launches you into the death trap, YOU LOSE.
But wait!
A message appears, indicating that by tapping the B-button (square button) you might get out of the trap.
As the walls are closing in on poor Kenshi, you start tapping the B-button furiously and eventually he manages to push them away far enough to jump out. Time to kill Bo' !
The execution of my idea is simple, think of it as the mini-games in God of War. You could knock down an enemy and you would engage in a mini-game (e.g ripping of heads, shoving your sword into someone’s throat). My idea is the same, only it's to be used to escape the death traps.
For example:
-Golden Desert: you get knocked into the wall and rocks start falling, press the right directions on the directional pad to evade the falling rocks.
-Hell's Foundry: use the analog stick to quickly crawl out of the steel press.
-Prison Stage: tap the B-button to push the walls back and jump out.
-Lower Mines: use the shoulder buttons to push the rock crusher away from you, eventually breaking it and shutting down the death trap!
That's all I came up with so far.
So what do you think, would you like it or not?
bose645 - Just Some Ideas...
Well... the game isn't 100% finished yet. So I figured... why not list some ideas I have for it.
Game Options...
~Replays: I think these would be awesome. A lot of fighters have them and an MK one of you absolutely pummeling the **** out of somebody would be great. You could save them... and as far as the internet ranks go... maybe the top 3 or so players could have viewable replays to others of their matches of who they had to overthrow to achieve their position etc...
~Special Moves (From DA): A toggle to turn special moves on or off would be sweet. Some of us miss impaling our enemies.
~Team Battles: I know most games are about being competitive. But when you have some buddies you might want a co-op play. It kind of puts you between a rock and a hard place...ya know? So 2v2 (mk4 style), 3v3, or more battles would be a great inclusion. Take the 2v2 for example. Offline, say 1 player is playing... that individual would obviously control one of the teams against the cpu...right? Now... say 2 players are playing...you could have the option of (player 1) controls one team against (player 2) controlling the other team...or have (player 1) & (player 2) control their own fighter on the same team...yes... I know it's been done before... I know... DOA. So imagine the 3v3...3 different players on the same side...or if you played online you could have 6 different players in one match, that'd be pretty sick if you ask me. I'm talking no tag matches either (life bar depletion or round change for player change)... but... I guess a toggle on/off for a tag option should be included for those who favor it. Oh... the possibilities!
~Tournaments: Should be a must for any sports/competitive fighters out there to keep you into constant action and have a reason to play it. MK4's Tourney setup was pretty good...tournament trees are very nice. You know what I'm talking about.
~A Battle Mode: For 3 or more players (probably 4) on screen at once to duke it out. This style would probably be reminiscent of the versus mode for shaolin monks. I'm sure a mode like this would probably turn out pretty good.
Well... that's it... feel free to reply and/or list your own ideas... later
Obreck - My half-assed wake-up game idea. (Should time constraints threaten it.)
Judging from Mastermalone's recent reports, most of the game-play faults that marred MKD have at least been partially fixed in the E3 build, except wake-up games.
Though the Midway team has claimed they will add in such a feature later, anybody who knows the company knows they always have to leave out promised content due to "running out of time". I worry that the wake-up game could be the victim of time constraints.
Therefore I propose a crude, but functional wake-up game system that could be easily "hacked in at the last minute" should Boon and his team discover they just don't have time to do a proper, in-depth one.
Basically here are the concepts:
- Every character would share the same basic wake-up game moveset. This would cut out the massive development time it would take to personalize each character's wake-up game, and would eliminate the need to add a wake-up game menu to the KaK system, as the KaK's would just have the generic wake-up game system.
- Each of the 4 attacks buttons would do a single attack. The moves I propose are:
A ducking low punch (quick low attack)
A rising spin kick (quick high attack)
The MK uppercut (Pop-up attack)
The MK sweep (tripping attack)
Such a crude system would be quick to implement and would give the wake-up game just enough depth to serve its intended purpose; keeping the opponent guessing and off your back.
Once again I'm proposing this only as a last resort, should Midway put off doing the wake-up games till the ass-end of September or something.
Mastermalone or any one else at E3: should you get a chance to speak with the Midway team again and haven't already proposed a last-resort, rush job wake-up game that's similar\better you might relay this info, so that have something to fall back on.
--------------------------------------------------
I say: Thumbs up to all of these, though I know the deathtrap one won’t possibly make it. It could be a great asset in MK8 if the stage kills are still there. A wake-up game would have stomped out half the problems with MKD. Bose645 indirectly brings up a good point. Lots of things we don’t look at twice in fighters would mean something online. Replay, survival modes, team battle and the like would be a lot more fun online. Also, getting far in survival mode online should up your rank.
Also: thanks again to Mastermalone for going to E3 this year. Whether or not it makes a difference, you and the ones behind the stuff you passed out got up and did something.

Sorry I wrote a "book', But you will like this, I can almost garrauntee it.............
What I'm sayin' is, in the beginning, whenever you first start out trying to make a product that will sell and that people will like, the effort and motivation that goes into the product is appearent.
It seems to me that the effort that goes into these newest games are lacking a bit in the creativity that was MK. I was in the habbit of consistantly being surprised in the MK series and that's far before my introduction to this forum or even full internet exposier. (most info about the game I could get)
Anyway, the point to this is, with MK8 being declared a next gen console game.
How creative do you expect them(mk team) to get with the new possibilities.
I personally, will take offense to anything less than a modernized MK1/2/3. In that, I mean, the dangerousness that once was, the darkness, the fact that everybody knew nothing of the kind of secrets we should or would or could get.
Ex. Nobody knew about a blood code around my way for a while. But then when we found it out, it opened up a whole new world within' the same game.
See?
Even though we have secrets, none of them affect the whole experience on the game anymore(maybe a mode here or there). I think we might need some "New Blood" in the creation of the future games in order to restore the kind of bombshells the first few games had.
We don't have a heavy hitting "blood code" any more and speculation//exploitation of new or secret characters gets old IMO. I say that because once you exploit the secret character, then what?
What else can you do to the game? How many more characters do I have to find? How many more modes do I have to be subject to?
How about these ideas?:
1. A code that takes the characters you fight with, into an entirely "animality" based fight. Like Primal Instict or think of the way Jet Li fought in "Unleashed".
The primal part of how he fought in that movie was crazy. Imagine if our fighters fought like that, representing the animal within instead of just turning into an animal.
Or, it would also be fantastic as well if they turned into animals and still maintained "a" fighting style of some sort. Kinda like showing us where matial arts comes from, but on a primal level.
This I think would enhance the fighting experience, yet keep the game the same enough to except and enjoy the change.
Note: Alot of martial arts styles are named after animals already.
2. Maybe something that allows us to fight in the darkened fatality mode. Kinda like the arena in MKD that turns from a tropical island into a deadly, living scene. In this darkened state alone it allows for the round fatalities. Not just knock 'em into the thing in the background and they die at anytime.
It should give a sense of ergency and also rely on how good the player is with manipulating his opponent. It could also be an opportunity type thing where if, while in this mode, and fighting around a particular area, you do a strong punch or kick or combo ender, then you get to see a round fatality. Only then.
I feel it's far too easy right now to knock my opponent into a trap and win. That's not fun to me because I wanna fight the entire clock out or be surprised by a round fatality. Think of the Arena where if you're on the edge you can fall off. But it should be so rare within this mode.
Can you just see people getting more "aggresive"(more of a pupose is added to the Aggressor feature in MK3/T) when the screen gets darker and "It's Time!" to go berzerk and try and finish off your opponent? This should have like a time limit and be triggered by the more aggressive player. Maybe 10-20 sec. The benefit in this feature could be a slight increase in damage delt, maybe an added visual effect to the aggressor as well.
The Adrenaline Rush would be crazy right?
(One More)
3. How about even more interaction with the Arena.?
Take the shaolin monk arena, with the monks as the crowd.Y'know?
How about allow us to throw or knock an opponent into the crowd and fight amogst the on viewers? Maybe have the crowd scream and move out of the way.
Think like in a football game when the player flies into the crowd. Or WWF when the fight goes into the crowd. The fight doesn't stop does it? Noooo, it keeps going and people, innocent people, are bound to get hurt in the process. *evil chuckle*
They might even get involved in the fight slightly, and turn the tide for the otherwise loosing party. Or not. I think this could be interesting because they are Shaolin Monks, they fight too.
Just think, some random monk jumps up out of his seat after accidentally being hit using the crane style or something, and now you not only have to beat your opponent, but you have to fend off in-raged by standers as well.
It would start to look like an old martial arts film or something. COOL!!!
Imagine my #2 involvled with all this. Wow.

This is my opinion and some supporting ideas.
To everyone who reads this, What do you think and what are your ideas as well?
I like pics but they're not nessasry, so feel free to add anything you want to help explain/ilustrate your point in this thread.
Thank you for your attention.....

Deadhead - An idea for death traps!
When the first info about Deception was released, something everybody was talking about was death traps. The idea of being able to kill someone mid-game was pretty cool.
However, it turned out not to be so cool in the end. The main problem was the way you ended up in a death trap. You could combo someone in the red area near a trap and they wouldn't get thrown in, no matter what you tried. On the other hand, a simple punch was sometimes all it took to make someone crash through a barrier and towards their doom.
I always hated people on-line that would only fight with death traps turned on and would subsequently only choose the Nexus. The ending is predictable of course, they moved before the round and death trapped me.
So when I heard about interactive fatalities, the next logical step would be interactive death traps.
So this is my idea:
You (Kenshi) and your opponent (Bo' ) are fighting in the prison stage. Bo' is in danger while you're virtually unharmed so he starts to F3 and throw you. One of those F3's launches you into the death trap, YOU LOSE.
But wait!
A message appears, indicating that by tapping the B-button (square button) you might get out of the trap.
As the walls are closing in on poor Kenshi, you start tapping the B-button furiously and eventually he manages to push them away far enough to jump out. Time to kill Bo' !
The execution of my idea is simple, think of it as the mini-games in God of War. You could knock down an enemy and you would engage in a mini-game (e.g ripping of heads, shoving your sword into someone’s throat). My idea is the same, only it's to be used to escape the death traps.
For example:
-Golden Desert: you get knocked into the wall and rocks start falling, press the right directions on the directional pad to evade the falling rocks.
-Hell's Foundry: use the analog stick to quickly crawl out of the steel press.
-Prison Stage: tap the B-button to push the walls back and jump out.
-Lower Mines: use the shoulder buttons to push the rock crusher away from you, eventually breaking it and shutting down the death trap!
That's all I came up with so far.
So what do you think, would you like it or not?
bose645 - Just Some Ideas...
Well... the game isn't 100% finished yet. So I figured... why not list some ideas I have for it.
Game Options...
~Replays: I think these would be awesome. A lot of fighters have them and an MK one of you absolutely pummeling the **** out of somebody would be great. You could save them... and as far as the internet ranks go... maybe the top 3 or so players could have viewable replays to others of their matches of who they had to overthrow to achieve their position etc...
~Special Moves (From DA): A toggle to turn special moves on or off would be sweet. Some of us miss impaling our enemies.
~Team Battles: I know most games are about being competitive. But when you have some buddies you might want a co-op play. It kind of puts you between a rock and a hard place...ya know? So 2v2 (mk4 style), 3v3, or more battles would be a great inclusion. Take the 2v2 for example. Offline, say 1 player is playing... that individual would obviously control one of the teams against the cpu...right? Now... say 2 players are playing...you could have the option of (player 1) controls one team against (player 2) controlling the other team...or have (player 1) & (player 2) control their own fighter on the same team...yes... I know it's been done before... I know... DOA. So imagine the 3v3...3 different players on the same side...or if you played online you could have 6 different players in one match, that'd be pretty sick if you ask me. I'm talking no tag matches either (life bar depletion or round change for player change)... but... I guess a toggle on/off for a tag option should be included for those who favor it. Oh... the possibilities!
~Tournaments: Should be a must for any sports/competitive fighters out there to keep you into constant action and have a reason to play it. MK4's Tourney setup was pretty good...tournament trees are very nice. You know what I'm talking about.
~A Battle Mode: For 3 or more players (probably 4) on screen at once to duke it out. This style would probably be reminiscent of the versus mode for shaolin monks. I'm sure a mode like this would probably turn out pretty good.
Well... that's it... feel free to reply and/or list your own ideas... later
Obreck - My half-assed wake-up game idea. (Should time constraints threaten it.)
Judging from Mastermalone's recent reports, most of the game-play faults that marred MKD have at least been partially fixed in the E3 build, except wake-up games.
Though the Midway team has claimed they will add in such a feature later, anybody who knows the company knows they always have to leave out promised content due to "running out of time". I worry that the wake-up game could be the victim of time constraints.
Therefore I propose a crude, but functional wake-up game system that could be easily "hacked in at the last minute" should Boon and his team discover they just don't have time to do a proper, in-depth one.
Basically here are the concepts:
- Every character would share the same basic wake-up game moveset. This would cut out the massive development time it would take to personalize each character's wake-up game, and would eliminate the need to add a wake-up game menu to the KaK system, as the KaK's would just have the generic wake-up game system.
- Each of the 4 attacks buttons would do a single attack. The moves I propose are:
A ducking low punch (quick low attack)
A rising spin kick (quick high attack)
The MK uppercut (Pop-up attack)
The MK sweep (tripping attack)
Such a crude system would be quick to implement and would give the wake-up game just enough depth to serve its intended purpose; keeping the opponent guessing and off your back.
Once again I'm proposing this only as a last resort, should Midway put off doing the wake-up games till the ass-end of September or something.
Mastermalone or any one else at E3: should you get a chance to speak with the Midway team again and haven't already proposed a last-resort, rush job wake-up game that's similar\better you might relay this info, so that have something to fall back on.
