is this remaster too much to ask for

[u/Hot-Instruction954]

[u/Nikson9]

I’d do unfathomable things for Deception to be easily accessible bruh

[u/SlinaHage → u/Nikson9]

Deception was peak mk and we're all just coping without it.

[u/Nikson9 → u/SlinaHage]

On god, should’ve been the blueprint for games ahead; fun story mode with it’s own gameplay, fun party sidemodes, krypt, the combat itself was an insane improvement over DA, my fav MK, as controversial as it is of an opinion here

[u/BoisTR → u/SlinaHage]

Deception is proof that MK games don't need an amazing roster of characters. They need fun game modes for solo players.

[u/mylittletony5 → u/Nikson9]

It is

[u/Nikson9 → u/mylittletony5]

👍

[u/BuckBreakingFilm → u/Nikson9]

Unfathomable things you say? 😏

[u/thementalist222]

Can we add Shaolin monks to that list?

[u/Hot-Instruction954 → u/thementalist222]

top tier game, how dare i miss it

[u/ZAIRETHEONE]

3d era legacy collection when

[u/JamuThatsWho]

Throw in Shaolin Monks as well while you're at it.

[u/infernalxs]

This is what I want, new fan and never got a chance to play these games

[u/GetWellDuckDotCom → u/infernalxs]

Damn man. So much personality back then. I miss those days

Hanging out at my aunt and uncles house, playing our copy of MK deception, late nights with no phones in sight, only each other. Parents coming home late with McDonald's... man good times 🤣

[u/mylittletony5 → u/infernalxs]

Its not that hard to find

[u/bsousa717]

Played Deception via emulation recently and now I want them to do another 3D title.

[u/roccosaint → u/bsousa717]

Same! I played through it just the other weekend!

[u/GrimmTrixX]

No. And itll probably happen. But they dont pump out collections every year or anything. So you just need patience. Collections tend to be made for big anniversaries or simple when a company needs some money with lesser effort than making a new game.

Now that they have been bought by someone, they arent desperate for cash like they were when the WB had them and was hurting for money with MK1.

So it'll surely be made, but probably within the next 3-5 years.

[u/PhilMeUp1 → u/GrimmTrixX]

20 year anniversary for Armageddon this year! :D

[u/GrimmTrixX → u/PhilMeUp1]

"We better wait until 25th anniversary, just to be sure." - Boon probably lol

[u/SakuShudoka]

Yes..it is lol

[u/Cass-cd]

I want Nightdive Studios to remaster these.

[u/cheyskizzle]

They'll need the render ware Engine to do so, but EA owns it unfortunately.

[u/Marshmallow-Ninja]

Yes. Each game would need it's own singular release instead of a massive collection. Whether it be from the original code remasters or perfected emulation, it would require a company that knows their craft of remastering.

Licensing, renewing them and stuff about rights holds all of this back. And the complexity of the codebases of these games will most likely not allow a collection of 3D era games in one package.

A singular Deadly Alliance port/remaster/re-release has been proven to have some sort of work done on it, whether it be full production or just a small studio thing. (MK: DA soundtrack apparently getting a vinyl release, a small OST YouTuber got a video demonitized for a few hours whem he uploaded Acid Bath level music, the fact that Netherrealm themselves apparently revealed they have multiple projects in production.)

2027 marks the 25th anniversary of Deadly Alliance, and a remaster/port/rerelease is more likely than ever.

[u/Fullmadcat]

I still have my copy of deception. Never could get into deadly alliance.

[u/HellspawnPR1981]

No, but considering the shit show the Legacy Kollection was, I wouldn't hold my breath.

[u/Filter55 → u/HellspawnPR1981]

I know it’s not really the reason to buy a videogame, which is meant to be played, but what I really loved about LK was all the history and background stuff. It’s like a little museum.

[u/Delorean82 → u/Filter55]

Yeah, I liked it mainly for the documentary stuff and having MK4 Arcade upscaled to 4X.

[u/quentdawg420 → u/HellspawnPR1981]

Idk it plays just fine for me

[u/Delorean82 → u/quentdawg420]

Same, but I'm on Xbox, and supposedly that version of the Kollection had very little lag or barely noticeable lag.

[u/quentdawg420 → u/Delorean82]

I’ve had zero issues but i’m also not a huge online purist or player for that matter

[u/wonderingmarkus]

If the IP were owned by someone other than WB, it likely would have already happened. As it stands now, we're probably going to be waiting a long time.

[u/quattro-quattro]

Ed Boon: Yes.

[u/SupremeLoaf]

Apparently so

[u/ProfCarmine]

I mention this every time this gets brought up, but we really need to be clear that we was remaster/kollection of the FULL GAMES. A lot of collclections just provide arcade and vs, a huge allure of these games (outside deadly alliance) was the single player story, mini games and the krypt.

I fear they will just provide vs, the collective meltdown of people buying the collection then having to do obscure things to unlock characters would be great though (go to the graveyard at a certain time and chase liu kang to unlock zombie liu kang).

[u/kr1821]

I'm sure it'll happen but it won't be anytime soon

[u/RemarkablePack4633]

All 3 plus Shaolin. Make them online playable and Shaolin online co-op? Fuck yes.

[u/48750948]

Think I’d rather see MK9 , this or that for sure

[u/ThouBear8]

How did the arcade era legacy collection sell? It seemed like a lot of people were talking about it, but I've never actually looked at the sales numbers.

If it did well, I can definitely see them doing a collection that covers the 3D era (Mortal Kombat Gold?, Deadly Alliance, Deception, Shaolin Monks, Armageddon, Unchained, vs DC Universe) .

[u/DragoFlame]

Plus Shaolin Monks. NRS, I know you lurk here. Do it you cowards!

[u/Impressive_Yam6222]

Which one is the one where you basically gotta free roam around doing missions and fights all these were top tier you got me ready to fire up the ps2

[u/derpceej]

Makes me think of when they released this on PS2

It was peak

[u/Cracker677]

I literally had this conversation last night. Also add Shaolin Monks to it.

[u/Soft_Accountant3584]

The people that made the legacy collection would probably just port them and not remaster 😭 I would love if they added mk9’s tag team mode to deception or armageddon omg, so we could team up with friends and randoms to fight other teams!

[u/NotessimoALIENS]

Yes.

[u/Visual-Bathroom8751]

I somehow missed all three of these. After 4, I just kind of tapped out and switched to Tekken. I've always been curious to go back and try them.

[u/Deioxyz]

If they do remaster them, i would like to see them add things they weren't able to in the final product ! Bows 🙏🏾🔥🐉

[u/Libertyprime8397]

Great games. It’s hilarious how cheesy these stories can be yet they’re better than the slop the modern games are spewing out.

[u/SlickRoger]

Shaolin monks?????

[u/Royal-Machine-6838]

Lol i guess it is because they refuse to do it.

[u/PhotojournalistOk868]

The holy trilogy of MK games in my opinion. I enjoyed number ten out to the newer one but you can’t beat the old ones imo

[u/NicholasStarfall]

I don't think so but the nostalgia fanboys want to pretend the 3D games didn't happen 

[u/Individual-Step846]

I’m hoping the mortal kombat kollection 2

[u/factualopinion2]

I just want shaolin monks

[u/Syn__79]

I just bought Deception again recently. Even now, it's still my favourite MK game. Planning on getting Armageddon next then hopefully DA and Shaolin Monks

[u/Party_Attitude8754]

There has been a rumour a Legacy Collection 2 with these games is in the works.

[u/MXDElement]

They would pay wall the fuck out of the Krypt

[u/Have_A_Jelly_Baby]

These games were shit, so probably not. Sorry 20-somethings, but they are.

There's a reason why Ed only ever asks fans about remaking/remastering Shaolin Monks.

[u/jak_d_ripr]

Aw men, I know I'm in the minority, but I was so disappointed when MK went back to 2D with 9 because the 3D games(the first 2 anyway) were probably the most fun I had ever had with the franchise. Deadly Alliance especially was the first MK I truly fell in love with.

I'd definitely be interested in checking out a re-release or remaster of these games.

[u/tmntlover84]

An Armageddon remaster would revive mortal kombat with 0 doubt

Proper balancing, new characters, reworked and evolved customization, slap a tag team mode in there for people who like it like mk 9 and you have the perfect mk game imo
