I agree on the kreate a Fighter. . it has to go. I loved MK Kart though and hope for a return or a stand alone game that is much bigger. its a blast I think.

but in all honesty, I hope everything is new and revamped and there isnt a single returning character. if so, I just want the ninja's. hopefully its set in a futuristic environment and we play with relatives of the past.

what might be fun also, is having a mini game that is classic MK and is 2.5D. I been dieing for a new MK like that. I love the 3d stuff. but I really miss playing the 2.5d mk. I bet it would look mind blowing with todays standards.

We are kinda going off topic here.. It is really suppost to be about noob.com updates, but to sum it all up, I would just like A real Good FIGHTING GAME, not no kreate my own player extras, ride around in a car, or any other mini game of such sort, thats why their is racing games... etc. But again, I respect everyone else's opinions... peace

I personally hope that KAK stays. I thought as a whole, MKA was a huge disappointment. The only replay value it had was the KAK mode. The MK kart game sucked, the konquest was stupid, and the Kreate-A-Fatality was a very unwelcome addition in my opinion. I like the idea of having the KAK mode there for the people who are going to lose their favorites in the transition into the next gen. What needs to be taken out is the konquest mode, they need to keep the konquest mode restricted to stand-alone adventure games like MK:SM and focus more on character developement, storyline (which needs a huge re-vamp), and realistic graphics. But a few new mini games won't hurt.

The problem with KAK was the "Make-your-own-combos". This was a disaster waiting to happen. For MK8, a great idea to solve this problem would be to have preset combos, but LOTS of them. This would put an end to Infinite combos.

Another thing would be to restrict certain combination of special moves to deter cheap gameplay and encourage originality.

For example, in MK:A, 50% of kreated characters used Telefury and Tombstone Drop combinations. This was completely unoriginal and, for those who didn't know how to fight against those moves, it was considered very cheap and too common. My favorite, and most used Kreated fighter used Li Mei's Karnival Kick, Darrius' Target Practice, Noob's Teleport Slam, and Misty Cloud projectile. I never seen anyone else, not once, use those combinations of special moves, ever.

If kreate-a-fatality is removed, and it most likely will be, I wonder how this will effect KAK? One idea is to allow regular character fatalities to be selected and used for kreated fighters, however, some would be exclusive to characters, for example, Sub-Zero's fatalities would be reserved for Cryomancer characters and Baraka's (if he returns) would be reserved for Tarkatan characters. This brings up another thing:

With kreate a Fighter, I never made a Tarkatan character because of the lack of Tarkatan special moves, as well as the "Blades" weapons. In MK8, KAK should allow for specific special moves for KAKs similar to Baraka, Reptile, etc. Blade Spark, Acid spit or acid ball, Drahmin's ball of flies, should be available, even if the original characters are not. If I had it my way, all the projectile moves of past characters would return even if the characters they belong to originally do not.

KAK weapons should include more than blades, axes, and hammers. I would love to see Hookswords, Staff, Kobu jutsu, Sun-Moon Blades, Tarkatan Blades, 3pt Staff, Bojustu, Jojutsu, Naginata, Kwan Dao, Guantlets, Daggers, Tonfas, Pulse Blade(s) Dual Swords, Tomahawks, Nunchucks (Nunchakus), Kali Sticks, Sais, Fans, Kamas, Maces, Drahmin's iron club, as well as new weapons be optional.
I could understand if not all of these weapons were available, I'm just trying to make a point.

For the KAK design, they should focus on more areas of detail and also have NO color option restrictions on items. In MKA, some colors could not be adjusted.

For the last thing I can think of, weapons should be altered with detail as well. Like Raiden's staff painted green, or maybe it could be made to look like it's made of ice?

That's all for now happy

I agree and let midway make the cinematic fatalities, not the stupid ones in MKA!!!

Totally agree with everything you said Armitage. My Invent-A-Fatality idea was one way to solve the removal of KAF, but I like your idea WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better. shock

In fact, instead of having a few fatalities, why don't we have all fatalities in the history of Mortal Kombat available for a Kreated Fighter to use (only two at a time though)? And, like you said, certain fatalities for certain types of characters, weapons, and even wardrobe (Kung Lao's MK2 hat-slice fatality anyone grin ). Well, I guess not every fatality. I mean, let's face it, Quan Chi's head pull was so lame, Bo Rai Cho's fatalities are basically fart jokes, and some fatalities are repeats of others (Sub-Zero's skeleton pull in MK:DA is exactly like Kano's MK3 skeleton pull, except cooler looking in 3-D. And of course Jarek's heart pull being the same as Kano's heart pull. Etc.)

So, back to the main topic at hand here. I wonder what new thing Boon will post on www.noob.com before next week. How much are you guys anticipating the news? I sure am anticipating, scared of what may be, like will MK8 be flawed or a flawless victory? Who will return, and will it disappoint me or not? If Taven doesn't return, will I have KAK to rekreate him on my own, and if KAK returns, will it have the great fatality list Armitage thought up and waaaay more options as for setting moves and way more weapons too? And, the most important of all question, if there is a crossover, what the hell could it be? Will it be great like a crossover with Samurai Shodown would be, or would it go over "like a fart in church" (I lol'ed when I read that someplace) OH MAN! I'm also excited to see what new button layout Boon thought up and what new fighting system he has. I'm also highly anticipating what he means by "more photorealistic" and "nuances to ridiculous levels".

Also, I hope that Midway by now changed their minds and decided to release MK8 also for PC. I mean, what will the WII users do if they can't play MK8 on the WII, and I really don't want to ask for a PS3 for Christmas, because that would go over like Bo Rai Cho in church with whoever I ask to buy me one. laugh worried

I think I figured it out. You are all looking INTO the puzzle, but not AT it. I think this is about PERSPECTIVE...

I think this means that Puzzle Kombat will return !!! I wasn't a huge fan of it, but I liked it better than Motor Kombat!
