MORTAL KOMBAT 8!!!!

[Violent Ken Masters]

Personally I thought MKA was the best, just because the character customization. You could create who you wanted, almost exactly how you wanted (they could have worked on customizable weapons a bit more though), and they really didn't have to include the ability to play them online, but they did. Air combat was never MK's strongsuit, in fact combat itself wasn't a strongsuit of MK until MKDA. In the first 4 games everybody had the same moveset except for the special attacks, and Fatalities. 1 thing I really hated about MKDA were the character designs, Sub-Zero got older just from some stupid gizmo that made him more powerful. Shang Tsung looked a lot better in MK2 and 3, Quan Chi really needs to keep his shirt on, and Reptile based off the first movie was a real bad idea (glad they changed it to the MKSM design in MKA though).
MKD, I just really hated the new characters. They all felt just awful. Some were odd enough to laugh at, I thought evil Raiden was a cool idea, but they should have brought his normal outfit for his alt costume. In MKA the only thing I really hated was Motaro having two legs. I know they did it to make him play evenly with the gameplay, but still, it was a bad decision. A centaur with two legs... isn't a centaur.  I kind of think downing the fighting styles to only 2 was a good idea because 3 for each character is kind of overdoing it, especially since you have to really know a characters combo's to play as them well. 
As for the worst mk game. You've obviously never played Mortal Kombat Advance.

Hmm as much as MK series are fun I'm already totally confused what the story is

[shitakimushrooms1990]

imo, i gotta go with the classics. especially on this one since they are getting rid of the classic characters and replacing em? this game is gonna fall flat on its face like mk special ops. the 3d games before were fun and i enjoyed the create a karacter mode but i thought the racing was a bit stupid (come on, mk is supposed to be the bloodiest game, whats racing gotta do with this?)
and i enjoyed the fighting but now it seems to be a bit of a push over now, before on the classic mk's it was hard to just kill one person, if you was lucky/skillful enough to get to the top, you had a hell of a time just trying to defeat final boss. now they are still hard to defeat but you can sidestep and get cheap by getting baraka, sidestep, slash, sidestep, slash. another thing that i thought that was weird, on motaro, they got rid of his back legs? thats imo defiling a classic char D:< also it seems like they kept changing the story line of each one soo i started getting confused while for the classics, they followed the story. i did enjoy seeing new moves from the chars and hara kiri, new fatalities, and new chars. but mk3 and ultimate 3 will always remain on top of my fav mk list.

I agree with you, and for the story, I would have to say Konquest mode in MKD would have to have the canon story since it spans from MK1 to MKD. I prefer Konquest mode in MKD because I enjoyed being immersed in the vast universe of MK. The role playing mechanics almost made me feel like I was playing a mmorpg. Konquest mode in MKA, was kind of lame because it felt like I was playing MKSM without the ability to jump. As for Kart Racing and the other MK mini games, I think they always wanted to make spin offs, like how SF had that puzzle game, and Mario has the countless spin offs, but they knew if they released the game as it's own, nobody would buy it, because not many people enjoy spin off games anymore, so I think they decided instead of making a spin off game, to make a mini game, where if people got bored from the constant battle, they gave the option to avoid any unnecessary repetition. The only way I will get the new game, is if the kreate a character mode is better than before, and konquest mode (if there will be a konquest mode), will allow to play as custom characters instead of a new character.

I think a mmorp of MK would be interesting. There's so many worlds and storylines that it would be perfect. I mean there could be so many options, like making a tarkatan, or whatever Goro is, then the cyrax type robots, reptiles, and more races.

quote from www.mortalkombatonline.com

www.noob.com

Longtime Mortal Kombat fans know that Noob.com is the long-time personal website of Mortal Kombat co-creator and team lead Ed Boon. Since mid-2002, the site has been inactive and empty, other than standard domain hosting pages. Recently, the site has become active in a sense. The site is currently empty, save for the words "noob.com". However, in the past few weeks, the noob.com has been changing in subtle ways. First it said "noob.com" in simple white letters. Then, it added an ellipsis made up of bronze periods. Now, the ellipsis is gone; however, the first "o" has been replaced with an image of Earth.

It's not known what Ed has planned for his website. As is typical, the site is something of an enigma. However, just in case, we'll be keeping an eye on the site. Ed Boon has been known to put MK news and media on his site; if he does, we'll report it here.

To see Ed's site (such as it is currently), click here.

Our thanks to forum members such as samus_aran3900, CrispyDragon, and Kombat19 for letting us know about this update!

Update – March 9, 2008 – ]{0MBAT here. Looks like another "o" has been replaced with a moon; and there is now a countdown on the site as well. It looks like something spectacular is going to happen by April 17, 2008!

Update – March 12, 2008 – ]{0MBAT again. It seems that the period has now been replaced by the dragon logo! There's still another "o" in the logo, who knows what'll happen next? The sun, maybe? Thanks to Major_kenny for this tidbit!

Update – March 15, 2008 – ]{0MBAT once again. Ed's still at it -- this time, beneath the Noob.com logo, appears the mysterious number: 238,868. This is printed with a line going from the Earth to the moon, indicating the actual distance from the Earth to the moon: 238,868 miles.

on the video it kinda looked like shang shung.

if there gonna reinvent it and start all over to scractch. then they should do a left to right fighting game jus like MK 1-3.   kinda like what there doing with SF 4, where its 3d graphics but i still consider it a 2d fighting game cause the style is moving from left to right.  since MK 4 thats when it starting to suck cause the story was getting weird and the whole tekken fighting style just didint fit with mortal kombat.  i mean did the tekken style fit with street fighter EX, no it didint!

[Gore Whore]

i was talking about the worst out of the last gen mk games (deadly alliance, deception, armageddon)

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

^ IMO opinion deception was the best of the three the chess game was very fun and the worst has to be Deadly alliance i would have said Armageddon but many classic faces came to make another appearance.

Edit- I take that back Armageddon was good just the fatalities messed the game up.

[Kev The Galaxybender]

I guess no one plays the MK games for the combat system, only fatalities and fan service *sigh*

[malisiousjoe]

I did like Deception a lot but I have to agree they screwed up the fatalities in Armageddon .

[juelz aka wolfi]

tru i mean dont ed boon listen to wat critics say?
they must get tons of feedback and choose to ignore em!
aint their a way of contacting them directly? I.E (relevant email add)

[Kev The Galaxybender]
