No. That would be terrible.

I think it would be cool if they do it right.

Originally, MK was to have Johnny, Liu, and Jax. I definitely want this.
There was also supposed to be a barbarian character, Rokuro.

I also want the new female kombatants to be kharacters in there own right, not replacements for missing male kombatants.

IMO, I prefer the crew not to remake the classics. The classics should stay the same. If they did, it's going to be obvious it will look awful.

If they do it REALLY good like above Soul Calibur level than I'm with that Idea if it's not as good then forget it.I think the one that should be remade
is MK2 the REAL MK2 not the hokey saturday morning MK2 like they had
in MKSM.

And what would the point be?
If you want to play as the original characters, then do so in armageddon, in all their glory, the original should stay untouched.

If anything Mortal Kombat should be remade, it would have to be the damned movies. The first one was alright, second one I wouldn't piss on it if it were on fire.

How many fucking threads can you make, about half of the threads in here and in the MKA forum are yours. Anyways they should leave the classics alone, but making a game in the past before MK1 well thats another story.

well the remake of resident evil 1 on the gamecube was amazing, if they can do that to mk 1 remake, i think it will be okay

I think that almost everyone here would like to see MK1 or 2 remade on next gen consoles with modern graphics, special effects, FMV etc etc. There are only a few problems though:

1) You'd be hard pressed to find a large group of MK fans or fighting game fans in general that would want to see yet another MK game with the same fighting system as MK:DA, MK:D and MK:A.

2) I think that most MK fans want to see a new MK game, rather than having the MK team focus its time and energy on remaking an old game.

3) MK1 and 2 are simply outdated. For what they were at the time, they were great games, two of my favorite all time in fact. But you put out a fighting game now that has 7 characters or 12 characters and you'd be considered legally insane. Even if you made Shang Tsung, Goro and Reptile playable (heck, even Ermac and Jax), you're still not looking at a very big roster of characters for MK1. MK2 is more plausible with 17 characters if Shao Khan, Kintaro, Jade, Smoke and Noob were included I suppose.

The question becomes: How far away from the original games do you want to stray?

Should these games stick exactly to the roots of those games (where the hidden characters aren't playable and you only have those that were originally in the games?) Or would you want to take some license with the games and expand upon them?

In the first MK movie, there were alot of minor fighters that either lost to MK characters (the guy with dreads that lost to Liu Kang, the guy Art who Johnny Cage knew etc etc) or were simply there for show (the guy that got frozen by Sub Zero after charging at him). My point is that MK1 was constrained by technology at the time. They simply didn't have the space (or probably the time) to add more characters. Do you add 10 to 20 more characters and basically state that they were in the tournament, but their stories were never told? It's possible, and the idea is an intriguing one.

But my opinion is that I'd rather remember those MK games for what they were instead of seeing the MK team go back to the well again. They couldn't win. At best, you have something that's not overly new (it's still the same core storyline with the same main characters) and at worst you have a game that basically craps on the history of the series either by F'ing up the storyline or simply making a fighting game that was once great into something that's average to mediocre. As a long time fan, I really wouldn't want to see the latter scenario come about.

So as tempting as the idea would be, I still think that the MK team should stick with their idea of ending the current series and starting fresh. New fighting system, new graphical engine, new generation of video game systems, a new storyline and new ideas. MK:SM was cool for MK fans because it took us through the time between MK1 and MK2. But between this and everything that came out of those first two games from merchandise to movies, do we really need to milk those two games anymore? Let's hope the MK team will make the series grow in a new direction and hopefully eliminate the problems that plagued the last three MK games while making what actually worked even better. That's my 10 cents anyways.

Nah......the second one maybe...but not the first

Hes right man.......chill the fuck out.

You guys BOTH Mortal Kombat movies are bad.If you compare them to
Kill Bill or Enter The Dragon they're trash popcorn movies.
Back on topic,if I want to play MK1 then I'll play the old arcade version not
some remake trash.

I think Shaolin Monks is about as close as we are going to get to a remake of MK2, so I would go for the first one.

If they did, have Reptile playable somehow kinda like Akuma from ST.

no its bad enough they remade mk2 and made it like crap and gave it a diffrent name

Yah Shaolin Monks is a suitable remake, I'm hoping they make this type of game again, for the transition between mk2 and mkt ect.
