I shall sign my friend.

how exactly do you go about turning MKT into HD? Re-hire and re-shoot the actors?

SSF2 Turbo HD Remix did it. It can be done but they will have to upscale the Bitmap to a HD resolution and Increase framerate to 60fps. Easily done through Adobe Illustrator since it's not a Rasterize program like Photoshop. Though this is unlikely to happen (I think) since MKT was under the MIDWAY License. I'm not sure if WB got rights to the classics.

MK Trilogy became irrelevant. Not really a good choice.

Why MKT? We already have UMK3 on the XBLA and that's close enough. MK2 would be a better choice for XBLA and UMK3 for PS3

I hate to decline considering I made a thread for this a while ago. My problem is that the new MK is coming out next year, and I would rather spend the 15 bucks towards that game.

@ Minion, Street Fighter HD remix had completely redrawn sprites. You can't "re-draw" a digital photo of an actor. You would have to literally re-shoot all of the animations with Actors again if you wanted to do what Street Fighter HD Remix did.

Now with Final Fight HD remix, they did what you were talking about, but that game looks terrible and blurred.

I'd rather sign a petition for MK Gold HD, in all honesty. As mentioned before, you cannot make HD out of MKT, because the graphics were from photoshoots of real people, not drawn sprites like it was in SSF2T HD.

I'm all over this.

1,2 and MKT would be awesome

shame they killed the UMK3 servers

While a 2d MK can't be enhanced in the literal since SFII HD was, there are many thinks that could be done with one to enhance the experience.

I think UMK3 would be the best base template since it is considered the closest to being balanced, has a large player roster, and has room for improvement that wouldn't disrupt the base experience that much.

Here's a bloated list of possible things that could be done:

- Fix up the fatality effects. The Mugen community has already proven MK3 characters can be given the superior animated MK1-2 head/torso decapitation animations with simple photo shop editing of their existing sprites. Some Mugen projects even managed to recreate hard to edit in animations like the Johnny Cage "holding crotch" animation, Jax arms rip fatality, and even Kung Lao's MK2 hat split death effect. Surely Boon's art staff could do this.

- Remove the known infinite combos. Most of UMK3's infinites are well known at this point. A revamp would be an excellent chance to go in and remove them.

- Visually enhance the backgrounds, special move fx, and gore fx. Lots of innovation in artwork has been made since UMK3's time, not to mention current gen systems can handle stuff far more taxing then the original UMK3 hardware. Might as well take advantage and pretty things up.

- More fatalities. Bring back some classic fatalities, work a few new concepts in. Even slightly tweaking a few could wonders. Like decensoring Classic Sub-Zero's spine rip and using the MK2 flaming skeleton for Scorpion's Toasty fatality (It should stand out from all the other burning fatalities).

- Bring back Raiden, Baraka, and Johnny Cage. These fan favorites where put in MKT, none of which broke the game in the process.

Might want to stay away from Rain and Noob however. Or nerf them into the floor, after watching some YouTube videos to see just how broken they were. They might be best left as unplayable hidden fights similar to MK1 Reptile.

- Add classic backgrounds. Backgrounds from MK1 and MK2 were great to play in and don't alter the gameplay itself, so why not?.

- Add 3vs3 and 4vs4. Various home ports of the 2d MKs had these modes. They can lead to some very intense, drawn out battles.

- Add MK1 and MK2 mode to the arcade towers. These 2 would basically recreate ladder lineups of MK1 and MK2. For extra credit add Goro, Kintaro and/or old man Shang Tsung as unplayable bosses for these modes. The Ultimate tower might also have the extra bosses be encountered since its meant to be the hardest.

- If the team was really feeling bold they could possibly refilm a few characters whose UMK3 design was lackluster or just didn't age well. Refilming them all would be asking too much, but fixing up a few is at least a plausible option.

What they should do is do what capcom,snk, and konami di which is put all the games before deadly alliance on one disc and i would by that in a heart beat.

SFII HD Remix is completely different from something like MKT so don't even bother mentioning it.


Just taking all the original images of the sprites and keeping maximum quality would probably make the game look horrible.


No.
