Mortal Kombat will be focusing on good old fashioned over the top violence when it comes in 2011, according to series co-creator Ed Boon.
Boon told US mag, EGM: "We're going to be as M-rated as we've ever been." Good stuff.
"Mortal Kombat is known for and associated with violence, and we're definitely going back to that," he said.
How is Boon going doing this? It's the little things, according to EGM, with the MK team working on all the minute details both inside and out:
"The developers are actually modelling the insides of each character, from brains to bowels," says the mag.
"When you cut somebody in half, rip their arms off, or otherwise dismember them you will see their realistically rendered insides as they come spilling out of their body." Lovely, we can't wait to show the missus.
"Eyes are gouged from their sockets, faces are disfigured, and limbs are torn asunder," it adds.
Back to it's 2d roots but with highly detailed 3d backdrops and characters. I hope they go down the "trilogy" route and have a ton of characters rather than limiting it to 10-20. That was always MK's strongest area i thought, having so many characters and yet making them all distinct. Street Fighter can have about 10 characters and yet 3 or 4 of them are just a reskinned version of Ryu or Ken.
