Reportedly, many fans consider MKSM not to be the conclusive or the cannon story of what happened in MK2.

Some fans want to ignore the game all toghether...but well see what happens...

I think that happens after every game, even if it's not to the same degree.

I'd love it if the guys could just agree that if they fuck up, they have to live with it, and maintain a steady continuity. It could only make the story stronger.

Recapping events of previous games probably isn't a great idea, either.

id love the idea, considering the gameplay in MKSM was fucking awesome..

fix the story, clean up the action and character movement, add a bit more diversity .. and u got a contendor for game of the year.

oh oh and fix the characters (more characters )
Makes it like dynasty warriors.
Heeps of characters, not many move upgrades.

Yes, another adventure game should be made BUT NOT based around the 2 shaolin monks.

A game based on Mk3-Mk4 would be awesome, but please, write a decent story that doesnt ruin the game, and focus on the other main characters that took part of that story, not Liu and Kung again.

I heard tell that before he left, Tobias intended to make a series of action/adventure games like Mythologies: Sub-Zero. It started with that one giving back-story to MK4, then he moved on to Special Forces (which he promptly abandoned while halfway through). There was also talk of one based around Liu Kang and Kung Lao, and another for Baraka and Mileena. Who knows, maybe the demons are up to bat next. Personally, I would love to see it; Mileena is damn sexy, and Baraka is not so bad either.

I think that Boon was interviewed and said the same thing... that he had wanted to do more spin offs, naming Liu Kang and Baraka as two potential characters. I liked Mythos, and I liked the concept behind Special forces, even though I didn't like the game that much. Shaolin Monnks game play is sweet, but I think that most people dislike how it retconed everything.

If they decide to make another one, I hope that instead of doing MK1 or 2, where those games did a well enough job explaining the storys, they go into MK3 or 4 and explain the fights that we know so little about. Perhaps they could let us play as a few different characters throughout it. Stryker, Nightwolf, Sub-Zero, Sonya and Kabal maybe for MK3, and play it off kinda like that one Lord of the Rings game, where you have to level up the different characters.

I think that since MK3 and 4 are already accepted as wars, and we have no true account of the details of those storylines, those two would be much better for "Shoalin Monk-ing" than Mk 2 was.

Yeah, they would definitely make better premises for action-adventure games because they span larger areas, like, whole realms, two or three rather than just the one. That kind of free-roaming action has a lot of potential, and if they used all the characters from MKT or MKG then the possibilities for those games are pretty damn endless. But while I would love to see the game series extrapolated on, I would love even more to see some more Mythologies games.

I wouldn't mind seeing some more history on Ermac, or the war between the Lin Kuei and the Shirai Ryu. Or Baraka, like I said, he would be an excellent candidate for a game, because he's probably fought all manner of wars in his life. You could start with him challenging and defeating the leader of his race and taking over, then allying with Shao Kahn, then the invasion of Edenia, and Mileena's creation. Those would all be really wicked to see. Plus I can imagine tearing people up with those blades of his being a lot of fun.

I'd quite like to see a lot more done with the Netherealm, but some new stuff rather than the same-old, same-old. The problem is, everytime they do something with the Netherealm it has to involve Scorpion somehow, and although I am a huge fan, he is in enough already.

The possibilities are endless, providing they pick the right premise and work it properly.
