As beautifully detailed as the fatalities are, Im getting rather tired of seeing the same styles of fatalities (decaps,torso tears,and now gunshots...etc) I really question Boon's " We pull all nighters coming up with fatality ideas" statement. All theyre doing so far is just putting new spins on old fatalities. I want to see completely new ideas.. Instead of just ripping a heart out, break open the sternum first. Gouge eyes out, put a big gaping hole thru someones face/skull...hell stomp a mudhole literally lol. I just want to see something thats fresh and just a constant repeat of rehashed ideas.

Huh? These are some of the most disgusting and unique fatalities I've ever seen in an MK game. I'm not disappointed at all.

Totally agree! Sure it's cool to see heart, spine and blood all over the screen but I want to see fantasy and creativity even funny things (like Kabal screan in MK3). And something that make the fatality appropriates to the character. Spine ripping can fits to Subby but Kotal Kahn could do it either imo.

I disagree completely. These are the best Fatalities MK has ever had, these are the Fatalities I've always wanted to see. We haven't even seen a fraction of them, who knows what other sick shit they have up their sleeves.
Definitely a step up from MK9s, no more generic slicing and dicing (Ferra/Torr was kind of lame though).

The only one that looks boring so far is Ferra/Torr's because it's just a simple split down the middle fatality. The rest are insane.
These fatalities have been the best looking fatalities since the original. I see nothing wrong with any of the ones we've seen so far. I'm glad they're not outrageously dumb like Mortal Kombat 3's or having bloody popcorn fly out like Deadly Alliance's, or painfully boring and dull like in Deception's. This has to be, by far, the best looking fatalities we have gotten in a very long time, even surpassing 2011's.

D'vorah's seems rather...expected, given that she controls insects. It's too reminiscent of Reptile's "Face Snack" from MK4.

I understand theyre disgusting, look at the detail they can use now. Im simply implying that weve seen so many decaps,so many torso rips,..theyre not being very creative with the idea for the fatality.

Ummmm Cassie Cage and D'Vorah have the most unique fatalities I've ever seen.

The most boring so far has to be Cassie Cage. Simple point blank range shots then a headshot then stick bubble gum in the wound?!

Plus we haven't seen any decapitations yet, which I hope there are few.

-Kotal Kahn - Slices opponent's chest open, tears out their heart, holds it above his head, and squeezes the blood onto his face.
-Cassie - Kneecaps opponent with gun, shoots them in the forehead, then plugs up the head wound with bubblegum (which bursts)
-D'Vorah - Shoots swarm of insects at opponent (which eats holes in them,) then sends another swarm to eat the flesh off their face; they collapse, their head rolls off, and she crushes it with her foot
-Ferra/Torr - Torr holds opponent in place while Ferra stabs them in the forehead with her blades; she jumps over them and bisects them down the middle (vertically;) Torr pulls the halves apart and tosses them on the ground
-Sub-Zero - Freezes chest and shatters it open; reaches into wound and breaks spine in half. Picks up opponent and tears them in half (across the torso.)
-Scorpion - (not shown yet, entirely) Uses fireball to burn a hole in opponent's chest (with heart visible;) as opponent collapses, uses sword to slice their face open; their brain falls out of their head, and their tongue is seen twitching and they're possibly trying to scream still (or something to that effect)
--------------------------------------
Total decaps: 1; Torso rips: 1
That's a pretty good variety if you ask me. So far, I like what I see; if you aren't satisfied, then we agree to disagree.

That one is actually one of my favorites so far.

Having a body punchered by a swarm of insects? Filling a bullet wound with a bubble gum?...There's personality to them.
We've seen many decaps, heart rips and torso rips ect....but NEVER like these...I think they're creative and look insane.

I honestly cannot wait to more fatalities. In several interviews today Ed confirmed that these will push just about every limit.
Not to mention I NEED to see Cassie's Xray.

out?
ok lets put it this way lol
Theres been a heart rip in almost every past MK, Why not have lungs ripped
Shang Tsung and Stryker both have gunshot fatalities. Call in an airstrike
Reptile has done the whole fleshless face. Couldve made the bugs slowly devour the whole body from the inside out.
Kung Lao,Shao Kahn,Noob..all have bisecting fatalities.
Scorpions is the only one Ive been really impressed with from the details of it.
NRS just seems to get their ideas from past fatalities and just, for lack of a better term, dresses them up better with each new game.
Im holding out hope that we'll see some fatalities that deal with defferent areas of the anatomy than the same 3-5 we typically see.

I don't see your point.
MK Fatalities that weren't downright slapstick have been nothing but torso/spine rips, decaps, and face/body eating. You can only reinvent the wheel so many times, and I think these are pretty damn unique considering.

Well, there are only so many ways you can mutilate a person; how they go about it is what matters. Kotal Kahn's heart rip does not at all harken to Kano's classic, as it's done in a completely different manner with a completely different payoff.
I mean, we've only seen 6 (sorta) so far, and there are presumably 24 28+ fighters (pre-DLC) with 5 finishers of some sort. I'm sure something will suit your fancy.
As for anatomical restrictions, Boon said the tech guys set it so there aren't any of those preset cut points for dismemberment as there were in MK9.
Innards and wounds look much better now, too.
Edit: According to this recap, the Gore 3.0 will allow for some crazy stuff. Ed apparently told the Game Informer fellows that there will certainly be a fatality where the opponent gets a massive hole blown through their face.

Honestly, the well is mostly dry. There aren't many avenues left when it comes to gore because the developers crossed the final threshold once they were dealing with 3D models. All we can really expect at this point is more detail and more realism... which wasn't necessarily what made fatalities fun for to begin with, but that's me.
Even MK9 only had two fatalities which really left a positive impression with me (Scarecrow and spear/portal).

I kind of agree. I mean they just seem to get more gory but not more interesting as time goes on. I think the X-Rays for the second game now will probably be more devastating and interesting than the fatalities.
I'm typically a fan of the quick and dirty fatality. My two all time favorites are Sonya's neck snap from MKvsDCU and her Wire decapitation from MK9.
