Board Thread:Mortal Kombat (Alternate Timeline)/@comment-26082987-20150803035449

Now I know that there probably some people already rolling their eyes at this idea given the hit and miss reception of MK spin-off games, ranging from the well-received Shaolin Monks, the Meh-tatistic Mythologies: Sub-Zero, and universally panned Special Forces, but I believe non-fighting game Spin-offs can be worth it. Two ideas I have for spin-offs I'd think would make good games would be a Kenshi Takahashi-centered Hack and Slash game along the lines of the Devil May Cry and the God of War games and also a Batman Arkham-style one centered on Kuai Liang (and considering that Warner Brother's Interactive has owned Rocksteady since 2010, maybe they could make one or both games).

To focus on the Sub-Zero one, here's how I'd imagine it as being made:
 * Basic story: Taking place shortly after being freed from Quan Chi's control, Kuai Liang is seeking to take control of the Lin Kuei from its new Grand Master, Sektor, and to put a stop to his schemes.
 * Basic gameplay: A mix of some stealth elements (such as agilely landing on points and running along ropes and other narrow points, evading the sight and hearing of mooks, using cryomancer abilities to lower body temperature to avoid setting off thermal sensors, and etc.) as well as some Arkham-style fighting with some additional ability to do Mortal Kombat Fatalities on dazed mooks and some bosses.
 * Characters (NPCs): Cyrax (a fellow former Lin Kuei Assassin on the run from Sektors cybernetic henchmen who upon being saved by aids Kuai Liang as a Mission Control (a la Otacon from the Metal Gear series), Kano and Jarek (with the Black Dragon doing business with Sektor's Lin Kuei), Frost, and Sareena as well as some other original characters.
 * Bosses: Sektor (as the Final boss), Scorpion (at some point prior to him meeting the Takahashis and taking Takeda as his apprentice), Quan Chi, Smoke (summoned by the former), and Tremor (who Kano summons to defend him when Kuai Liang begins interrogating him for information) as well as some other original characters.

Being that this post is quite long, I'll post my ideas for the Kenshi Hack and Slash one at some later point. What do you of this idea for a Mortal Kombat Arkham-style game?
