@DenOfVipers You've got to out of your mind. If they used motion capture today it would so much more advanced than the 3D bullshit they have today. Such a waste.
Besides Boon, Tobias, Forden and the rest of the technical team, the ones that really made the game possible were the mo-cap actors. They were the real stars here by giving the MK games their distinctive look.
The 3D games are also great, and I like 'em a lot, but they lost that special something that made the 2D MKs (MKM:SZ included) so unique: the digitalized graphics of real actors.
@TheSubzerogr It was never released as to why JT left...not to my knowledge anyway. Maybe someone else could eleborate better, but as far as i know (And i'm a life time, die-hard, fan), Boon/Midway never released why JT left the company. Daniel Pesina (Johnny Cage/Scorp/Subby) was fired after MK2, That's why there aren't any ninja's in MK3
@SupRStanG 1)Daniel Pesina was fired for participation on THE BLOOD STORM video game without permison from Midway.Also,Philip Ahn,Ho Sung Pak and Katalin Zamiar for unknown -to me- reasons.
As for JT... he left Midway because he did not complied, for ''the future MK plans of Midway''...(!){i heard that from GAMEPRO-Greece}
Now...i know JT is a great designer but the dark side tells me he reaches his peak about the design for the MK characters.
(No new ideas further for Scorpion and the others?)
@TheSubzerogr Daniel Pesina was fired for taking part in the Bloodstorm advertising campaign dressed as Cage, he wasn't even in the game. That was so stupid of him!! But he still is, in my mind, the only true Johnny Cage.
I'm so glad motion-capture went away.

@critThreat well, whatever that technique is wherein the photos of the characters are used as sprites. That was such a silly idea.

@mlopinto2k1 Really? So today's technology should be used to make a photograph sprite? Do you have any idea how backward that would be?
DenOfVipers 2 weeks ago
@DenOfVipers I don't think it would be backward if it genuinely looked better than 3D models.

@BDMachinimas They have to make the moves easy for an old man. (But of course, Lui Kang's actor who played Tsang Shung.)

Fun Fact: the original idea for mortal kombat was to be a game based on Jean Claude Van Damm hence Johnny Cage looks like Van Damm in blood sport.
gokusama666 2 months ago
@gokusama666 I always thought Cage was mocking Van Damme's movie Bloodsport because of the awful Street Fighter game he starred in instead.

@WebVManReturns well Van Damme was origanlly supossed to play Johnny Cage.
