Okay so since this new game will be approaching offly close to the 25th anniversary I have an idea on how to add a little fan service into the game. Due to the fact that the klassic costume packs were pretty popular I say we bring them back in a big way. Over the years I've noticed that ever since MKII it has been a tradition in the franchise to always create a new costume for any established character within every subsequent sequel. So this time for Mortal Kombat 10, instead of making new costumes for all of the characters, just bring back the old ones instead.

When the game starts, all of the established characters (those in the roster who have appeared in at least 5 games or more) start off with a base selection of three costumes. The characters who have only been in one or two games receive the costumes from the respective entries that they appeared in as well. As the player progresses throughout the game, they can unlock more and more costumes for each character via beating the game, challenge ladders, krypt rewards, tutorial rewards and so on and so forth.

I also think in the sake of fareness after the story mode has been beaten players have the chance to go back and use any costume they have unlocked thus far in their current progress. What do you guys think? Think this idea has a chance to gain any traction

I'm going to respectfully oppose this idea. Reason being that the new game will have next-gen hardware behind it and they can really dial in all the details with each character. The old costumes are just so plain by today's standards and I definitely don't want them as the primary. I want new updated looks (familiar but fresh) for everyone's primary, but I have no problem with alternate costumes or classic skins as unlockables. Basically how it was done in MK9.

Whose to say the old suits have to be plain looking though? It's not like I'm saying Netherrealm studios should take all of the old 2D and 3D sprites from past games and just implement them into the current gen engines and call it a day. Much like MK9 these classic costumes will have little nuances and details that we have never even seen before thanks to whatever engine they use (ala cryengine 4, titan, frostbite 4, unreal 4 or whatever) And besides I'm looking forward to seeing how beat up some of these costumes will look after being used multiple times in a given tournament. Even if they just accumulate a coating of dust or grime I think that's really cool

I agree, the classic costumes that are done with MK9 hacks look plain stupid and bland.

I'd rather have it just be two costumes and that's it. I'm not really the kind of player that's into seeing the classic costumes all the time. It was nice seeing them for the last game, but I don't want to keep seeing them pop up every game. To me they feel special, because done of them gave players their original fatality and it was awesome to see that. However, I just don't see them constantly bringing those costumes back every game now. They should just be brought up very now and then.

One costume/skin I really want to see return is Reptile's from MK4 (not as his primary though).

I've always been partial to Sub-Zero's outfit from MKM/MK4/MK Gold. It's just a shame its never been an alternate for any MK game since then. That suit is just elegant in its simplicity.

Meh, I'll rather have something fresh than same costumes over and over again. But I do agree that they need to be unlockable and not given to you at the start.
I agree! The MK1,2,3,4 costumes were the best, bring back shangTsungs awesome MK3 costume damnit!
It fitted his fighting stance very well back then

Since the next MK is clearly going to revolve around Shinnok's invasion, costumes revamped from MK4/MKG outfits would be most appropriate.

Because John Turk, that's why.
