then degrading the appearnce would be down to someones perception, but body mutilation is an offensive term in the modified community and like it or not it's a way of life for some people just because we aren't protected by discrimination laws doesn't mean that it's ok to insult us because of life choices we have made.BeefSteak said:
The Max Payne film was not that bad still wish it had more to do with the thing it was based on and all.... resident evil is horrible all around.igissx said:
I hate gimped fiction and that is what they are doing with this....
Sure, MAYBE it's for a new MK movie. (I certainly wouldn't complain if it was.) Even for as good as the video is, something about it just seems so... not Hollywood. I'm seeing subtleties that major studios would get sued over.
A Hollywood studio won't forget about things like a company credit, even on a teaser. It's a matter of money and legality (mainly union stuff). It's generally less of a pain in the ass to give away a spoiler or two in the credits than deal with legal agreements from the hundreds of people involved in production.
My money is on a new game - development studios have pulled this kind of thing off before, even getting name-brand actors in some cases.
Edit: Also, the music at the beginning sounds a bit like the Resident Evil movie theme.

Mmmmmmm call it creative writing to reinforce the "change" in the character, I would not take offense at it unless it was pointed directly at the "modified community" and as a fat,pimply,greasy hairy lard ball I can;t complain about what people do with their looksWedlock49 said:

but the emphasis on the change in the character should be done through his personality not because he has implants. Seriously I think the Baraka character looks fucking badass, I just don't like the fact that their showing his modifications in a negative light, he's the bad guy not his modifications.ZippyDSMlee said:Mmmmmmm call it creative writing to reinforce the "change" in the character, I would not take offense at it unless it was pointed directly at the "modified community" and as a fat,pimply,greasy hairy lard ball I can;t complain about what people do with their looksWedlock49 said:
The story of the Mortal Kombat games is such a clusterfuck that this is one of the rare occasions that I'm in full support of binning it all and starting from scratch.
Sure, it'd be cooler to see a good movie based on the actual story, but that's pretty much impossible anyway.

i pray to any and all nerd gods and goddesses that this gets made into a movie. that was a fucking amazing 8 minutes
But the uninhibited levels of gore, the brutal hard hitting fight sequences, the classically violent and memorable core characters...Zeithri said:
Are we talking about the same Mortal Kombat, here? Is there some other series in which Mortals compete in a series of matches based on Kombat of sorts?
so...amazing...full of straight-up deep-fried awesome on a krispy kreme donut...

*head explodes from awesome overload*
FATALITY

Perhaps the self mutilating bit was more referring to the fact he has two massive blades sticking out of his forearms. I don't know of any one that is THAT commited to their body mods. However that may also be because none of the people I know are psychopathic.Wedlock49 said:
I like this! A realistic twist on the characters without all the original mumbo-jumbo storyline.
I'm curious if characters like Raiden, Liu Kang, and Kano will also make appearances. Kano from the original movie was pretty much perfect (the eye anyway, I could deal with not having the accent). Liu Kang should be easy enough, insert Asian fighting star. Raiden might be impossible to do realistically, unless the dude has Tesla Coils built into his clothes or something.
I wanna see more, and even more, I want this to be a movie, not a game.
