The creative director at NetherRealm Studios, Ed Boon, has suggested that a sequel to Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is unlikely because of plans to develop both series separately.
Within the dynamic realm of interactive gaming, NetherRealm Studios (NRS) stands as a source of both excitement and contention, with discussions spanning visual aesthetics and kinetic animations. Since the debuts of Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat 11, the studio’s visual evolution has been nothing short of remarkable. An evolution that becomes most apparent in the refined portrayal of character facial models, enhancing both their visual appeal and their ability to authentically render the intricacies of Black skin across various lighting conditions. However, in the midst of this progress, one aspect remains a challenge—the attack animations—an ongoing Achilles’ heel within the domain of NRS games.
My personal opinion would be that they focused less on juggles and more on grounded combos so sticking out a poke and it continues to juggle an airborne enemy should go away. It just looks silly. I love MK and Tekken, but this aspect has always been silly to me. It still has some great looking combos, but the air juggles just makes the animations reset, making those specific combos look stiff.
SF has some of these air juggles, but not nearly as much. I'd much prefer their combos combos which are generally more grounded. I don't think the animations are bad in MK in any way, it's the way they are implemented in gameplay in the juggle state.
MK1 is still a day one for me, but fixing this issue would make a lot of people complain less about MK1's animations.
During SDCC I spoke with Ed Boon and Thiago Gomes about Mortal Kombat 1 as part of a Roundtable.
Ed Boon shares his choices for which Mortal Kombat characters should appear in the next Super Smash Bros. game should a crossover happen.
This is horrible the game was insane i used to host parties just to play this game. I think it deserves a sequel it was a great game.
Easily the worst fighting game ever, worst, 3d fighter, worst MK game, and had the worst netcode for a fighting game.
Lies and bullish!! This was a great game! Everyone alreadys knows why there was no blood this time round. And i use to invite people over to get a big ass match together and everyone loved the game
Think of Injustice as the spiritual sequel to MK vs Dc but with all the blood.
yeah it was a bad game
