Why were there not three predators in the actual game?

>>3679795
One of them is a boss.

Super Contra's attract mode was bad-ass.

Nice.

>>3679903
You don't see a lot of things that qualify as engrish in western games, but this is definitely one of them.

The original Mortal Kombat was meant to be a parody of shitty Kung Fu movies, they started to take their bullshit lore too seriously with MK2.

>>3687235
How so?

>>3687303
I thought MK2 was just as over the top as the first one. It was MK3 that went too serious.

>>3687671
MK3's problem was that it didn't take itself seriously enough.

>>3687303
>lore
None of the retro MKs made any sense. I mean they still probably don't really, but back then they didn't even bother. MK2 never explains what a martial arts tournament has to do with destroying Earth. Sonya and Jax apparently still have paying jobs with the US gov't after almost everyone on the planet has been killed, and Johnny Cage still makes movies. The first two at least made the universe seem interesting.

>>3689000
Shao Kahn dying in MK3 brought back all the souls to life.

>>3689000
They STILL don't make any sense.

>>3683801
impressive

Why don't they include more attract modes in home ports?

>>3689018
If later games are anything to judge by the entire surface of earth is a giant dungeon located in an arid desert with a red lightning-streaked sky

>>3694571
lol

>>3694546
This is an excellent idea.

>>3687303
Wait, Kung Lao is 500 years old and was the champ before Goro? The fuck?

>>3701464
MKII Kung Lao was a descendant of that Kung Lao.

I GOT IT

>>3701786
that's fucking retarded

>>3703052
wat.

>>3704641
Before MK2 came out, I always assumed Liu Kang was supposed to be Kung Lao's descendant.

>>3705756
Same.

>>3707621
It was like that in the movie.

>>3704641
A little, but what's more retarded is that Kung Lao II is later revealed to the the reincarnation of Kung Lao I. I guess Shang Tsung forgot to take his soul?

Anyhow

>>3704641
Seeing how the 6th and 7th generation MK games got even worse lore than that, it doesn't sound as bad.

>>3707920
Everything in that series after the arcade games and before the reboot is shit.

>>3707642
What's that screenshot from?

>>3711913
The video in that same post

Why was my wipeout in one of those big square boxes and didn't look anything like these?

>>3712208
Demos are letterboxed in the game, what I did was up the resolution just enough so I get 1080px vertical resolution then crop the horizontal back to 1920px. I thought getting full frame without the black bars would be best for presentation sake.

>>3712208
Older PS1 games use those longboxes. The only one I have like that is Resident Evil.

kek

>>3711968
it was like prince of persia except even shittier

>>3714067
Yeah its like most modern games, looks beautiful but plays like shit.

>>3714067
>>3714578
The punching/boxing/fighting mechanic was well done though. It was one of those games that COULD have been awesome, but just completely fell short of its potential.

>>3712189
the bolo part is a stretch

>>3712198
nice

particularly since goro clearly has tong po hair

>>3720472
that too

>>3687235
The text is completely valid. Learn proper syntax and grammar.

>>3712189
You didn't even include the part where the enemy is taken out with a punch to the groin by a guy doing splits
C-

>>3722784
van damme movies are literally just scenes of him doing splits

>>3722779
y'know how I know you went to public school?

>10. Operation Wolf
>9. Shock Troopers
>8. Escape From the Planet of the Robot Monsters
>7. TMNT
>6. Street Fighter II
>5. Daytona USA
>4. House of the Dead 4
>3. Marvel vs. Capcom 2
>2. Crazy Taxi
>1. Dragon's Lair

Not a bad list. I'd have picked mostly different games personally, but those are still pretty solid intros.

>>3737747
When the 5th gen started it was weird seeing all these cinematic and/or animated intros for games.

Winter Gold (This one is really impressive. Best SNES intro, hands down):
