I'm a long time fan of Mortal kombat and I was really happy with the latest installment. As for this thread, what would you think would be a cool title for the next game?

I'm not sure if this topic was already brought up but I think since the last game ended in a major cliffhanger and a possible major war between three realms being front and center in the next game, I think that the following title would be cool.

MORTAL KOMBAT 2: UPRISING

What do you think?

No.

MK needs to just stick to a numbering system and screw the subtitles.

I agree for the next mk. If......if they make another after that, i think it should be titled.

I think for maybe a spinoff game. If it has a alternate sort of story line. Other than that, it should just stick with 1, 2, 3, 4, etc

I don't want some random word slapped in the title unless it makes sense.

I dunno, I think that they should stay away from the numbers until the tenth Mortal Kombat game. They just called the last one Mortal Kombat. If they call the next one Mortal Kombat 2, that's just stupid to me, and if they call it MK8 or MK9 or whatever, it doesn't have quite the same ring to it, especially since 4 is the last regular numbered game (even if DA had a 5 in its logo).

So yeah, keep the titles like Deception and Armageddon, right up until Mortal Kombat X, and then go to XI and XII etc from there. Uprising makes sense to me, or Netherealm Rising or Wrath of Gods or whatever. Something that fits the next game's story, whatever it'll be.

Just my 2 cents.

It's just a cool title for mk 10 if they set it up like where 2011 left off. Shinnok would try to take over Earthrealm and Outworld. It just makes sense to me.

But to me, uprising implies there are some internal forces rising against the current forces. Shinnok, being of Netherrealm, would be an external forces, not an internal one.

I agree with all those who think MK should just use the number system and special titles should be for the adventure games in the series. But I was curious, why uprising?

I think Uprising has a nice ring to it. Even though the Elder Gods waited until the last minute to stop Sho Kahn, I would imagine that the war Shinnok waged on the Elder Gods will be tounched on briefly but when you think about, Onaga interruped the final battle during the conclusion of DA and Quan Chi did hide ulterior motives when he was fighting alongside Shinnok in MK4 so there would be internal conflict since all of the dead heroes are under Quan Chi's control. My guess is that they would show Quan Chi turning against Shinnok then as he relishes in his victory, Onaga is revived to reclaim Outworld and maybe even Earthrealm. I think the next game will be epic in terms of the war so I think Uprising makes a good title.

Not unless you count the "V" in the Deadly Alliance's cover.

And if I may stretch it out a bit, Deception refers to how Onaga deceived Shujinko to travel to 6 realms to retrieve 6 Kamidogu. Emphasis on the number 6. Coincidence? Maybe.smile Edit: And Armageddon's Konquest essentially took place in 7 locations and can be broken down to 7 parts. -Botan Jungle/Argus' Earthrealm Temple -Tenkunin Warship, -Arctika/Delia's Temple, -Charred Mountain, -Netherrealm/Shinnok Throne Room, -Outworld/Shao Kahn Fortress, -Edenia/Argus Pyramid, I hope that make sense. Where there are 2, such as Botan Jungle, keep in mind the Botan Jungle was the pathway to Argus' Earthrealm Temple. Where's there is one, well it's just that location alone. I think the Tenkunin Warship was moving and wasn't just hovering over Argus's Earthrealm Temple or Arctika the whole time, so it was a different location. Again, maybe just pure coincidence? But there's the number 7 at play there.

Except, not too many people would actually catch that immediately.

I'm impressed in how confident you make this post when we're not even sure if they'll number the next game or not. It's like as if you have all the facts beforehand.

I don't think you quite got what I was saying.
See, he said they shouldn't use numbers until they get to the tenth one.
I was pointing out that since the previous game, MK2011, was the ninth in the series (that's why most people call it "MK9" for short, obviously), the next MK fighting game they make will in fact BE the tenth one.

So if they WERE to ever call a game "MK 10" or "MK roman numeral X", it would HAVE to be the next one.

I have a question for everybody. Do we really consider the next one as 10 or should it really be 9? For convinence, we've been calling MK2011 as MK9 because it was the 9th game release in the series. But with the events that took place in MK vs. DCU as non-canon, can we discard it in the series numbering? Yes, it was MK related, but so are the adventure games (some are even canon) and some stories that are exclusive to certain platform, but we don't include them. MK2011, while it was pretty much like MK1-3 all over again, there are slight differences and if we are to believe the story of Raiden altering the past as he faces defeat at the end of Armageddon. So excluding MK2011, the numbering is at 9 next.
