like compare this idea to the Uncharted Collection coming out in October. Uncharted 1-3 were all huge games, all acclaimed and extremely successful sales wise. that, and they're not old as hell.

MK4-Armageddon were mediocre at best and are regarded as the games that killed MK. with each release they sold worse and worse, eventually until MK was the only leg they had to left to stand on. after that, Midway had to shut down.

then, you factor in the timing. it would be pretty ridiculous to release PS2 remasters at this time, because you would have competition with all the far more successful PS3 remasters IN ADDITION to competition with other current-gen titles. it's just not feasible.

like I said, this maybe would've worked if they had released it near the release of MK9, when the comeback had hype. though, even MK Kollection (game that came with MK1-UMK3 for those who don't know) came out not long after MK9 and still didn't sell that well. easy to assume that MK4-Armageddon would do even worse.

so, with all this being said, I think this is kind of a pointless discussion. there's really no way it could or would happen other than the hopeful thinking. not trying to put anyone down, but it's completely impossible if you factor in everything.
