Should the next mk be a fighting game or an adventure game or both?

[Lui_Kang_HERO]

The title says it all, do you want the next mk game to be a fighting game or an adventure game, or both?


To start off, I'll say that I absolutely disagree with the last option, now mkd might have had a good konquest mode, but in result it's fighting engine went downhill, even worse for mka, while standalone adventure game mksm had a much better adventure game engine, and standalone fighting game mk9 had a much better fighting game engine.

As for whether it should be fighting game or adventure game, I'll vote action/adventure game since I prefer that type of game :D , especially if they improved on it like they did with mk9, a fighting game's good too, but a mix of both would lead to disaster(at least for the time being, mk team's still in the middle of rising back up to shape.)

Vote and maybe discuss, show me your opinions.

This is kind of hard to decide. I wouldn't be against both. The matter with the adventure games is that MKSM sucked balls in terms of gameplay (With the unreal engine, something closer to the 2 Batman games of the PS3 era would be really good for gameplay.)

The other problem is that adventure games kind of tend to force the player(s) to use one or 2 characters only. If it is about Fire and Ice, featuring Scorpion and Sub Zero as main characters, HELL NO!

But there are plenty of other characters which i would like to see as main heroes once in a while.

Both at the same time? I don't think they'll walk that road once again any time soon. And considering the timeline, and characters to be introduced, i would rather have a sequel to MK9 first, or say a stricly fighting game like MK9.

Who knows though? We were given a storymode for like, the first time in this franchise, we might be granted with an evolution of this chapter formula into a somewhat adventure in the future.

Voted fighting game after all that. But i could welcome any of the three, just when the time is right for the right formula i guess.

i say both. would love to see anohter konquet mode like deception...that was just so awesome! getting to go around the different worlds and talking to people.

NRS new game Injustice will be released in April so i think now next mk game should be fighting game

[ChibiFan7]

i agree....personally i had a really cool idea. but i think the next game should have a story like deception but instead of shujinko, taven or a main character maybe i can be a created character! basically here's how it works the player starts a new game and then he can choose to make the character. male, female, hair color, face, body build, weapons(maybe) special moves, etc. and then the player uses the character to do the story.

MK9 combination of mk1 to mkt and i think next will be combination of Mk4 to MKArmageddon and off-course then they will add Weapon fight as well

I agree similar like SC where you could create a character and use it.

Maybe have options where the created character can have similar qualities like Killer Instinct. I know MKA had the create a character thing and my coz made a reptile character similar to the hieght and size of Onaga and Blaze and had a trick move that Lui Kang was used in the movies that was emulated.

I would love to see the weapon fights coming back, but done better off course. Some challenges could be weapon based.

^^ As for the character creation thing i really don't know. With a franchise that has grown into a 30 characters roster average for their games? Well, the created chars would all be different so maybe, if the story and script could be somewhat different depending on what type of char was created?

But MKA's KAK was nowhere near decent imo. Yeah, SC always were great in the area of character creation but it's been kind of useless in MK to this day. With the potential of the MK4 and later games roster, i'd prefer choosing in the bunch of original MK chars and see some differences based on their story or adventure. A good character creation for the stroy mode would require a lot of wasted time imo. The mythology of MK is already really packed with stuff to explore.
