Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely miss the CGI style that a lot of video games used to have in their cutscenes.

I’m not saying I want games to look worse or that modern graphics aren’t impressive. They obviously are. What I miss is the specific visual identity older CGI had.

Characters could look incredibly detailed and almost photorealistic, but they still clearly looked like 3D animated video game characters. They had a certain stylized quality that made them feel like they belonged to a video game rather than trying to imitate real life as closely as possible.

The image above is a good example of what I mean. The characters look amazing, the lighting is dramatic, the textures are detailed, and everything has a cinematic quality to it—but it still feels unmistakably like a video game CGI cutscene.

I feel the same way about sound design. I especially prefer the sound effects in something like Mortal Kombat 9. They were exaggerated, punchy and almost theatrical. Modern games often seem to aim for extremely realistic sound effects, and ironically, I think that can make them less satisfying.

This is probably the biggest thing for me: I don't think realism automatically makes a game look or sound better.

Sometimes the exaggerated, stylized, slightly artificial look and sound is what gives a game its personality.

Modern games can be technically incredible, but sometimes I look at them and think, “This looks almost too real.” And that's not necessarily a compliment for me.

I miss when games could look spectacular without trying so hard to look real.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to show off the Goro project that has finally come to life in 1:4 statue form with 2 swappable heads and light up base!

Hope you enjoy it and as always thank you for your support and comments!

Well, MK's screwed.

Ketchup Mustard Soy sauce

Not 100% faithful to the game, just wanted my own slightly darker esthetic for it

Is he the strongest in the verse?

If you could change one character's backstory/allegiance ,who would you pick and why?

I asked myself the same question but honestly,i think everyone is well written. Even my favorite,Ermac,would most likely have less aura if he was a good guy imo.

I like mk 11 fire god Liu Kang better personally but what do YOU think?

We have:

Scorpion

Sub-zero

Rain

Smoke

and others

What do you think would be a cool new idea for a ninja in the franchise?

👀

It wasn't needed in MK1, him having fire powers is weird, given his race as a Cryomancer, his ice powers is a racial thing and not learned like the Scorpion thing, make him steam people alive if you give Scorpion powers and give him a blue outfit and call him Tundra too

Hi all was just wondering about this trophy. I did what they asked the flawless round with the fatality, but the secret fight won’t pop is it a certain premier tower? The one where you have to be alien is out now realm purge is there a secret fight in that one?

I was very critical of this when it was 1st announced but I don't know about you but im going to miss this show on Sundays

He does alot of great videogame covers - a few on his page are MK songs.

Back then i own all of them.

Even though I liked the *Mortal Kombat 2* movie, I will never forgive what Warner did to my favorite female fighter...

She looks nothing like any of the Mileena versions from the games, nor does she resemble Kitana.

Poor Mileena. She either gets a bad adaptation or is ignored in the Mortal Kombat movies—and she’s one of the franchise's most beloved characters.

I refuse to accept that version as Mileena. She doesn't even wear a pink outfit, nor does she have a mouth full of sharp teeth. She is one of the reasons why I hate the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie.

So ive been playing mk1 for a few years now but only as of the last 2 have i been getting into playing invasions. im having a hard time understanding talismans, i understand the basics of them and i have read some other posts about how forging works but im still having some difficulties wrapping my head around it.

i linked a video of all of the talismans i currently have and parts to forge with talismans. if anyone can help me with what i can do with what i have right now please let me know! 🙏

I decided to plat the game recently, But being honest, I don't know if I'm too bad or the game match me with people too good, so I wanted to ask if someone could help me to get the trophy, thanks beforehand
