Interesting idea, but no thanks. I think it'd look weird and be somewhat silly to see in game models replaced suddenly by real live footage of someone in costume being killed.

Its an interesting idea, but i dont think it would work. Plus they'd prolly make it look silly.

I actually like this idea. I think it would rock to see real human models die...but ONLY if it was done well....

That is a good idea for something in the krypt, but not in the real game.

I think they should put videos in the Krypt that fans send in.

It would look like a bad slasher movie.

I like bad slasher movies.

If this was during MK1-MK2 era it would be okay.But now in '05(gonna be '06) It just wouldn't work.It would look more laughable than graphic.sorry but I just can't see that happening.

The idea in itself is not bad...

But think about it, they would need a footage for eache and single one of the possibility (i.e.: Sindel vs Mileena, Sindel vs Raiden, Sindel vs Kitana, Sindel vs BoRaiCho, etc...

Way to heavy!

no its good but it may make some fatalities boring and it may get liberman after them again

Heh, I'd hate it for two reasons: It'd look incredibly goofy and out of place, and I'm a sissy who can't stomach live action gore (yet has no real problems with video game or animated gore).

Completely unrealistic, and unnecessary.

The rating would shift too high, and it's arguably a waste of time.
The game is the game. FMVs or live-action sequences for endings works fine in my eyes, but who wants loading times for a quick clip of someone covered in corn syrup?

I really don't understand the 'gore for gore's sake' mentality.

I'd rather see the MK team make the fatalities look more cinematic/dramatic and gut wrenching in the poly world. I think of real actors acting out fatalities and I get bad flashbacks of Sega CD. Even if they took the Need For Speed: Most Wanted approach and polygoned over real people, I still think it wouldn't look right (just like NFS:MW's movies looked more than a bit off). I agree with some of the others, this would've been an idea for the MK1/MK2 era, but not now.

Besides, I think most people look back at the live action stuff from MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero and cringe at the thought of live actors doing anything in an MK game. I dunno, I do at least.

this may be funny but cool how bout be 4 the match they have entrance for ex subzero comes through a sheet of ice cool right?

Um...No ? Let's remember this is Mortal Kombat not the latest WWE game.


Might be funny to see in the krypt or something as a comeda extra but that'd be it.

ya this is just not my cup o tea

It is a good idea, if it were implemented well. I agree it's more suited to older games.

They'd have to make sure the in-game models looked like lower detail models of the real people, which is a tough job. Also, it's be hard to get all the combinations of characters done- say you have 30 characters with 2 costumes each- that's 3600 movies! Presumably some you could do the two character's parts separately and have them overlaid, but it's still probably more work than it's worth.

I think acted story parts could be good with real actors though. The downside is that the lighting from the scenery is hard to do, and you have to find good actors that look the part, make real costumes, props and that. This is expensive.

I love the resident evil 1 acted bits.

have any of you ever played sub - zero mythologys
