where's the originallity of mk?

We all complain, because of the 2 legs thing, for not being a female lizard character, with this and that (mka). I don't blame U! U are true mk fans because U are demaning ones! U were used to play a game that was given us more than we expecred,There is something else that is missing from mk nowadays.. Let's find out what this is.
When we first saw mortal kombat 1 by chance we immediatly saw the difference of this game comparing with the othes like the legendary street fighter, power insticts and others.We immidiately loved it when we saw the realism of the graphics, blood, scorpion's spear, sub's ice, the first pit fatality, throwing oponent into the spikes, heart rips, spines rips, 4 handed goro,and shang tsung morphing! It was briliant! only 9 characters and so much excitement because of it's originality! I will not talk about mk2 and 3. The game just got better and better. Great games. I play them till now. Another mk was released in 1997 mk4. This time in 3d! What original thigs did this game had than tekken , soul edge and bloody roar?
No square like characters.(on the arcade version ofcourse) The characters of mk were not big square cutted (excuse my english I hope you got the meaning), there was bone breakers and spectacular effects like fireballs.Also it was fast.
Nowadays Boon is trying to give us a mortal kombat game equal to other great games as soul caliber (mkda (the weapon style)), dead or alive (mkd multi level stages combined with interactive stages ala mk style (deathtraps)),
why mk must seems like the other games? If mk seems like the others then automatically loses his originallity. As did mkda, mkd and maybe mka.

So boon should forget the other games and take more seriously the mk project. MK was the BEST and can be the best.
And if the game was the best that saws that his creator was the best.If he focuses on 3 thing we will enjoy and oldfashioned
mk with the power of modern tecnology.
These 4 things are:

1 - realistic graphics
2 - dark profile
3 - quality > quantity
4 - originality

He must completely take out of his head any other fighting games he has seen, focus to mk games, to these above 4 things and his instinct, This will totally help to have a revolutionary oldfasion mk8. Boon can do it because he was used to be the best, and he can be the best.
Show as from what u are made of! show us your true power!

I agree, MK should be made of completely 100% MK DNA.

But I think boon will do that anyways....not worried here..

right on spot. the older mk games had something else. something better that hooked are attention. i loved mk since i first played the first mk. it dint have even that many characters and it still was soo amasing! the difference is in the originality of the game and the fact that the MK was the best because of its unique style of game play. speed, violent, pain, blood, power, strenght, darkness, secrets that gave a lot of excitment to the game.
i still play the classic games, just wish there was another MK made that is just as exciting.

MK's unorthodox ways have made fans play the game. Boon did say, no one wants to pay for reality, when you can take it to the next level.

Originality started to decline at MK3. MK1 was kool because it took place on some island where everything was as it was back in China a long time ago. Plus, you had this huge guy with 4 arms from another world. That's what attracted everyone's attention.

In MK2, everything about it was original. The whole game took place in Outworld, so every arena and most characters had to be thought up differently than what is in reality.

But MK3 changed its ways and took place in Earthrealm. I mean, we can't really complain, because if all MK's took place in Outworld or Shang Tsung's island, it would have gotten old fast. But the more realizstic look of MK3 is what its problem was.

When they tried to go back to the ways of originality in MK4, it worked, just not as good. Nothing really felt mysterious as it did in MK2. And ever since, MK has just been losing more and more originality while its been trying to create it. So I really can't say what caused it to keep declining, only that it started at MK3.

Shaolin Monks was the first time I had really felt the originality of the first 2 again because of the time and place the game is set in.

If I were to give a possible solution to MK's problem, it would be for John Tobias to come back to Midway. That is the only thing I can think of that really took away from what all the original MK's had. It's too late for Armageddon, which it will be an alright game, but I say if the MK team really wants to make MK8 succeed, find a way to get Tobias to help out with it.
