Mortal Kombat 11
If you were a teenager in the mid-90s or perhaps had a forgiving video rental store, the chances are that you were a huge fan of the 1995 live-action adaptation.
Admittedly, even for the time, the CGI effects were pretty poor. In addition, looking back in hindsight, the film itself is… questionable at best. Who could, however, forget the awesome theme song that went with it?… MORTAL KOMBAT (
With Mortal Kombat 11 currently in development, however, there is a surprise twist in one of the characters voice casting roles that will, I daresay, please many.
In a report via PCGamesN, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who played the role of Shang Tsung in the 1995 film, will be reprising the role as the voice actor in the next game!
DLC Character
While this all sounds like excellent news and more than a little fan-service to the long-term enthusiasts of the franchise. There is, however, something of a catch here.
While Shang Tsung will be in the game, he will only be playable as a DLC character. To me, that is more than a little disappointing. I mean, he’s supposed to be the ‘bad guy’ right?…
He isn’t the only one either! Shao Khan (also long-term bad guy) is also only being offered as a DLC character. Albeit, he is thrown in for those of you who choose to pre-order the game.
So, while this is great news in some respects, it’s certainly more than a little disappointing in others.
What do you think? Are you excited for Mortal Kombat 11? – Let us know in the comments!
I was just a kid in the late 90s growing up playing MK3 Ultimate and MK Trilogy, i played 1 and 2 but i find them incomplete and not as good, when the movie came out i was so happy, when i saw the movie…well, i felt like i watched some trash kinda version of something i knew was good,i was amazed how poorly the storyline was done, special effects were not important for me at the time, the movie was looking and feeling very cheap and i dont know anyone thinking otherwise. I am not a fan of later Mortal Kombats,i think they’ve lost it.New MKs are for my taste, some other games, i woudlnt mind better graphics and everything, but the game lost the very same soul it has back in the day,those cheap break animations are whats important now, kids like it, not because its actually good, but because they dont have anything better. Fatalities are shitty and everything is made so the gore is at maximum point, with no feeling at all. Also, predator and joker in MK?You see my point?Selling is the deal here,no soul,pure money. Also, new movie, i saw the trailer, i am amazed how BAD the voice acting is. COME HERE is so bad,that i think a kid in kindergarden could use his dads pc and make his own version of the voice, better than that one. I see the same thing i was as a kid, hystory repeat itself, the new movie will be better in graphics, but same shitty story same shitty money making approach, no soul no effort. Mark my words. As for the first MK movie, even it was trash, i kinda like it. Some actors were interesting, some lines were said that stick in the ear long after, and sadly, i think that superb game will never see another good sequel, nor a good movie. That is my review, tnx for reading.
