I hope this rumor is true

I think they can try to release HD remake for modern monitors, but it will be much worse in terms of content than any already existing mugen fan project

I hope this rumor is true, I really hate the direction MK is taking and by that I mean the direction MK X took with teenage characters and absolute horrible storyline and a very lame gameplay where you need to focus on only doing 50 50s and get rewarded for right guess or punished for wrong guess like a gamble.

And remember C&C Remaster was ALSO a rumor first ;) but then it turned out to be a fact so I am keeping my fingers crossed!

It would be nice to play Mortal Kombat without Meter and Guest characters.
I also would loved to play MK7. "Deadly alliance trilogy" were quite good.

From OP's link:

--unannounced fighting game remaster of three fighting games from the 1990s
--tying together 3 separate titles into one meta-experience
--level design and gameplay scripting has been done in Unreal Engine 4

As much as the guy in that video wants it to be MK, I don't see why a company would combine MK 1-3 (when MKT already exists) and remaster them into one game let alone using UE4. I'm not saying it's out of the realm of possibility, but I'd imagine NetherRealm Studios would want players to focus exclusively on the upcoming MK11 and not share their attention with a remastered MKT from another developer.

I'm sure others can list 3 (let's say mainline) fighting games of a series from the 90s to add to these that could be the focus of this unannounced game.

Battle Arena Toshinden (1995)
Battle Arena Toshinden 2 (1995)
Battle Arena Toshinden 3 (1996)

Virtua Fighter (1993)
Virtua Fighter 2 (1994)
Virtua Fighter 3 (1996)

I'm not trying to burst anyone's bubble; I'm just giving out plausible alternatives. If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on the Virtua Fighter games being combined into "one meta-experience," as the video puts it.

Hope it's true. I love the old 2D MKs and a HD makeover with some remixed music would be perfect for me.

Those characters were 20-25. Kung Jin may have been older.

Isn't Mortal Kombat (2011) kind of a really good "remake-reboot" though? Guess my 'ol eyes still think that game's pretty.

When has MK ever had a decent storyline? If you're playing MK for the story kindly slap yourself across the face you absolute lunatic.

MK 2011 had great story mode which paid off full game price - best story campaign in whole fighting game history.

It's just a retreading of Mortal Kombat 1-3 with a bigger budget and profession voice actors. No different from anything you would see in Tekken or Soul Calibur. In fact I'd argue Tekken has had better writing for some of it's character ending movies.

Example: https://youtu.be/iIPOj1mw4MQ

( It could also be because I like a bit of melodrama :D )

LOOOOOL Tekken has a stupidest story not only from fighting games, but from EVERY game. not to mention tekken 7 is absolute GARBAGE made in hurry just for cash grab - same as soul calibur 6

mk9 story was good.

[JARK]

Yeah i think we all agree Mortal Kombat has the best lore, best presentation and best integration of storyline over its 27 years or so.

But you're right: if you are playing it for the storyline first and foremost.... smack. Actually, that goes for any game. Gameplay first.

Here's hoping this materlizes. I'd pick it up in a heartbeat. Also about to pre-order MK11. Looking forward to it :D

I haven't pre-ordered yet... still tossed up on what platform to buy it for. I'm still superficial and want the superior gfx, but I also know I'd play it much more if I had it on Switch.

I might just do the rare thing and buy two copies, but for the Steam/PC one maybe I'll wait for the inevitable "GOTY edition" to come out? Gah, I hate being indecisive.

LOL, I know how you feel. I normally just buy it for the PC to support the developers for bringing the game to my preferred gaming platform. If they pull it of correctly this time round at release on PC vs that of MK X, I feel there could be a consistent online player base. I know it wouldn't be patch on console's player numbers, but still, wouldn't mind a relatively healthy player base for the PC.
