If anything Id say it sounds more like something out of Samurai Showdown, which is a franchise that also has violence and gore.

NGL, A SamSho character would be great even in MK1 and i’ve heard SNK is super cheap.

Curious if SNK is more lenient in their characters getting dismembered.

I’m not against a human like Reptile, but I think that could be an alternate skin. given how most of the well received designs was Reptile’s MK:SM Design.
and it works out for everyone.

Curious, do you prefer him with a tail ala Deadly Alliance? If they ever decided to have both human and nonhuman, it would make the two more visually distinct.

I’d still love a Mortal Kombat Warriors game. Just the MK cast fighting huge armies of enemies in bloody kombat and conquest.

People who talk about MK horror characters are always saying Micheal Myers or Ghostface. Nah man. This time around, I want Pinhead. Aside from Ash Williams of course.
Maybe they can give him a variation with a tail, though they could go one way or the other with that.

Side note. I kind of hope the message of this story is that Liu Kang can’t give everyone perfect peaceful lives with no conflict because that’s not a good life for them to live and that people need conflict to grow stronger.
Cause if Shang Tsung is the ONLY threat to this new world, and he came from outside of that world, then I’m sorry that’s a bad world you created Liu. You need villains in your story.

Well, he does say “there’s always something worth fighting for” in the trailer. Obviously the external force you mentioned is true, but I’d have to think internal/of-Earth forces will also exist. They’re not leaving Kano out, for example. It would be pretty easy to assume that he’ll have some friends in the game, either as kameo fighters in the story or on the roster itself.
Liu Kang seemed to indicate that he created the world with warmth and peace, but that it was mortal’s decision on what to do with that world, so yeah, giving mortals that choice would seem to be a better way than simply “my world is peaceful and there will never be conflict, I forbid it.” Yes, he absolutely wrecked Shang Tsung in the trailer, but he is an external force. If he’s doing this same stuff to Kano and others simply for choosing conflict, that would presumably make him the villain of the story (which some people already think he is).
We’ll see.

I don’t know. It’s just, the way he acted at the end of 11’s story mode and the way he’s acting in the trailer makes me think he’d never even think about creating a version of Shao Kahn or Kano or Shang Tsung or Shinnok who act as villains. Maybe I’m wrong though.
Something I hope they finally do in this game, and i’m Honestly surprised they didn’t do it in 11 with Terminator, RoboCop, and the reworking of Frost all being there, is finally giving us a unique fatality effect that addresses characters with robotic parts. Those parts can still splash blood, or oil or whatever. But it would be cool if it made a different sound in the fatality when it tears and rips that sounds like metal is being broken, and whenever it happens there’s a small effect of sparks flying. Because realistically someone who’s a robot wouldn’t move and bend the same way as a normal human when being torn apart and killed and it would be a nice little bit of detail for them to address.

Almost reminds me how the reboot of KI did things, like hitting human characters caused a massive ton of red blood to explode everywhere, hitting Aganos made loud rock sounds with pebbles falling off of his body, hitting KanRa made sand go everywhere Why TF didnt Geras do that in MK11, Ill never know. Then hitting robots like Fulgore making loud clang sound with sparxs flying out, really makes each fighter feel unique.
MK11 not making each characters blood unique aside from Robocop, Spawn and Dvorah for some reason, was just lazy imo. Couldve sworn I heard somewhere Kollector was supposed to bleed liquid Gold, but I cannot recall where I heard it.

Couple more potential possibilities for Mortal Kombat 1:
-
More fluid, smoother, and graceful as well as quicker, rapid, and faster gameplay mechanics.
-
Kurtis Stryker returning for its roster base since Mortal Kombat 9.
I hope we finally get some trans representation on the roster this time as well.
Tokenism
I don’t want tokenism. I just want to be able to play as someone like me in one of my favorite series.
