This is what I'm saying

1 per character. Men for men characters, women for women characters. Stretching it would be 1 mo-cap person per two characters.

They need a female Motion Capturer.

I hate seeing all the females move in masculine fashions, especially when they walk downward.... their legs just look.... ugh!

Women should not walk like frogs or have butchy/manly movements unless they're lesbians.

I think one male and one female motion capturer is all they need.

You guys do know that the one who did Mileena and Kira's "sexy" movements was a man right? That is just ridiculous especially cuz Kira's walk ended up looking manish anyway.

Despite that most of the time SA - skeletal animation was used ...

And what's with the sexism? If the damn martial art requires efficient working and movement you can bet the martial artist will not walk like a primadonna. And MK seems to thrive on martial artsnowadays...

Ya, it was Carlos Pesina =

Scratch my opinion, I think his ^ is a better option for motion capture people.

"1 per character. Men for men characters, women for women characters. Stretching it would be 1 mo-cap person per two characters."

I agree with this. I think that the characters are too diverse to only have 1 MOKAP person. It's rather limiting... I would even like them to use a high ranking and potentially wellknown martial artist for motion capture, such as Donnie Yin, or Jet Li for fighters like Kung Lou and Liu Kang...and maybe use a very skilled kick boxer for someone like Johnny Cage, and someone skilled in street combat (and other fighting styles) for Jax, etc... Of course that would take a lot of funding... They don't necessarily need someone well known, just people who are high ranking and highly skilled....but more than 1.

They also could have better voice acting.

By adding a different motion capture performances to each character would be in a sense just like the 2-D games when they hired actors to portray their characters. I think it would be very cool that they digitize each actors face and then graph their features to the characters they portray.

They already have more than one mo-cap dude...

Again with your sexist view of women, misogynist.

So for martial arts to be effecient, they can only be performed with mannish movements?

Believe me, I'm sure that for female martial artists, walking like frogs and fighting like dykes is not part of their practice.

THUMB UP!

I see this as a very efficient method of making everyone unique. Maybe we can also make sure these people are professionals on that character's martial ats styles.

I do not give a rat's ass about gender, and zou have purposely misread my comment. I am not even going to go into that.

There are no mannish or womanish moves in martial arts. There are efficient or inefficient moves and that is all.

The fact is, I saw lots of females moving like men from DA - MKA. So they should get a motion actress to prevent that.

Ya, I know but:






What Grizzle said hasn't been accomplished yet. And more specifically, it is what I think people have been expecting for a greater half of the last 10yrs. (since Mk4, when this ultra-realistic MK game went 3D)

What did they do though? They minimized the actors, and just keep changing the aesthetics. Infrastructural appearance is what people are talking about when they say that oh so familiar sentence:

"Make it play like the old MK games."

So, it needs to "look" like those old games, but BE new. 1+ males per 20 or so characters of different backgrounds and genders isn't gonna cut it.

Let me explain something here....hm...

When people say "MkvsDC plays like the old MK games". What I think is happening is that the MkTeam found a way to make the game actually feel like the old games used to a little bit, without taking the extra step to individualize everyone to the fullest extent......To the extent that the digitization was able to do. The subtleties of personalization matter here, No doubt.

It's the difference between digitally "dressing a guy up" like Kitana in MKDA-MKA, and acting any which way they wanted to with her character. And then, partially behaving like Kitana in MkvsDc, along with the digital dressings. What I'm saying is, they got closer in MkvsDc, but the "Full Monte" was not accomplished. Don't underestimate what I'm saying there though. I think that the way the characters moved around in arcade mode was very good as pertaining only to character specific behavior.

Baraka and Kano were great, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Kitana were good, I liked Jax finally, Sonya wasn't bad, Raiden was fine, Shang Tsung was good, and Liu Kang was Liu Kang for the most part. Shao Kahn only "greatly resembled" himself though...but you get what I'm saying by all this.

To accomplish the "Full Monte"....to fully capture "this seems like, looks like, feels like, AND plays like a MK game", they need specifics. One very prominent way the old games gave specifics about the characters....was the specific digitized character actors//actresses. And so, to do that again, what I think is the natural progression, is to give each character the correct "bones"(so to speak) for that specific character.

Those "bones", are mo-cap actors that are dedicated to one or two characters. Women for women, and Men for men.

One of the problems is it's waaay too obvious that there's only a couple guys doing everybody's moves and stuff. They need a team of mo-cap actors to get it right. Doesn't have to be a large team, just has to be more actual personalities than they have now.

Though it would be great to see a team of 20 mo-cap people. lol
