I was just messing around with google and found this badass character concept, and the first thing that I thought was, THIS is what MK needs for the future.

It reeks of Made In / By Japan but the visual execution is good. Designwise, questionable but alot better than MK3-4.

MK4 was outdated when it came out. The onlz good that system did was speed and dznamic lighting.

When I read the title of this thread I said, "I bet it's going to suck, and be horribly overdone."

I was wrong on the 1st count. It doesn't suck. It is a nice piece of art.

It is however, horribly overdone.

I always see people post art like this on forums (not just for thsi game, but several others) saying, "This is what the characters/armor should look like in the next game!" and while sometimes it's a fine piece of art... it's always way too elaborate, and wouldn't work well in a video-game setting.

Less is more people. A character doesn't have to be the ultimate visual badass to be popular.

Look at...

Kratos. Guy basically just has some tattoos, swords, and a loincloth.

Lara Croft. Tube-top, daisy-dukes, and a pair of guns.

Master Chief. Very basic green body armor, a fancy helmet, and a gun.

The Mario brothers. Blue overalls, a hat, and a pimp mustache.

Sonic the Hedgehog. A Pair of Red Sneakers.

Characters don't need to be wearing 2000 pound armor, wielding a huge non-functional weapon, have 100 spikes shooting out every which way, and have glowing eyes and their heads on fire to be cool.

Less is more.
