Here is what a re-imagined 3D version of Mortal Kombat 2 could have looked like

YouTube’s ‘Bitplex’ has released an incredible video, showing what a re-imagined 3D version of the classic 2D fighter, Mortal Kombat 2, could have looked like. Bitplex used sprites and screenshots of the game to extrude various components and create a true 3D environment from a static image.

Classic. That was pretty cool. In my opinion, with the sprites being altered in 3D like this proves that less can be more in the graphics department. Now I'm having a tough time not imagining this game on a larger scale with the space on a disk nowadays. That's a heck of a fighter!‎

ZombieKiller2245d ago

Totally agree with you. So does Ed Boon via twitter. I saw it on there and loved the video. Excellent work!

What a brilliant vid and great music

I completely forgot jax still had his arms in this game, so he lost them in 3?

strayanalog2244d ago

Yep, in the third outing Jax is chosen to fight and gets bionic implants.‎
And with the continuity how it is, he later replaces them completely and then in the reboot (9, I believe) Ermac rips his arms off and then he gets ‎cybernetic arms.
And I am sorry for my overly long answer or "This Moment in Gaming History" lesson, Sam.‎

Man I remember the days of playing this in the Arcade and on Genesis!

keegamer802245d ago

I played at the arcade also. At home it was Super Nintendo.It was the first MK title to have blood on the Super Nintendo. I would buy this day one.

PurpHerbison2244d ago

Wasted many a quarter on MK in arcades as a young boy. Arcade owners always had it set to the hardest difficulty I bet. I can't remember beating it in arcades, only at home.

Would like to see a remastered version using the new character models in classic outfits. Mk community...

But seriously get this on 3ds or summer or as a 3d game on ps4

The fatalities are pretty cool though...

blackblades343d ago

Max dood had that shyt censored on his video. Realistic gore bruh something that might get the gov involved.

MehmetAlperTR343d ago

I remembered a big DISASTER at MK Vs DC without Fatalities... So no.. I ll not forget about Fatalities..

Tal169343d ago

yeah that one i like to forget about. No gore either. Although the first Mk didn't have blood... you needed to turn on 'Blood mode'

adamwparker343d ago

What? Mortal Kombat's initial appeal WAS blood. Outside of red impact pixels, Street Fighter didn't have it. Fatal Fury didn't have it. Pit Fighter didn't have it.
You roll up to a machine of Mortal Kombat at your local arcade or bowling alley and you are there to watch people uppercut blood onto the floor and bodies onto spikes, lol.

You didn't need a code. You only needed a quarter.

It was only the Nintendo releases that didn't have blood. I think you're only referring to the Genesis on the blood code?
