Times have changed, The days of Mortal Kombat, Killer instinct, clayfighter, gods of war and to a point tekken are over. Only ones that seem popular still are street fighter (flogging a very alive cash filled horse....) and tekken/soul caliber and a couple of others seem to do ok like DOA (but horrendous film)
how can you say such a thing about DOA the movie.Quote:

do you even know what god of war is or are you just throwing that one in there for the hell of it?Quote:

Wasn't reffering to the Sony game with Kratos
now it makes more sense :D
To be honest, of the list, only Mortal Kombat spawned enough sequel for that observations to be accurate. KI was well received (more than I understood), and I reckon that it only faded in fans memory because no further sequels were made in over a decade.Quote:

The last MK (vs DC) wasn't too bad, I quite enjoyed it.
KI is one of the games that there seem to be constant rumours of a sequel.
I reckon especially in the current climate with the popularity sf4 has garnered then a new KI would go down well
i'd definitely buy a new version of killer instinct i plummed hundreds into arcade machines playing that game as kid/teen
I'm still pestering one of the guys I know at Rare to make it too :)Quote:

If you think about it, the last KI game came out the same year as Duke Nukem 3D. Only difference is that there has been no actual talk of development in progress. But it does show how long it's been.
I remember seeing KI on Gamsmaster when they where showing off the boxers crazy combo wasnt it like 112 hit or something?
i think that's one too many mortal kombat games now and this series should just be lay to rest :D
One of the reasons ive always been hooked on MK is the great storyline!
