I actually almost gave MK9 a thumbs down because it went backwords instead of foreward. what a ridiculous statement, the game went forwards in every conceivable regardless of how you feel about it having no new characters. it was the perfect MK game. I don't know why you'd try to undermine the game that singlehandedly revived MK with the best game in the series' history, but whatever.

I'm almost willing to bet that your intro to MK was the mediocre lineup of 3D games, based on your apparent bias on them.

not to say an MK game with a completely new cast would be impossible but it is incredibly unlikely, and your reasoning for it is silly. Actually my introduction to MK was MK vs DC. I learned of all the other characters shortly afterwords and was fascinated by most of them save for Mokap. Also, don't judge someone based on how they were introduced to a franchise. New fans are brought in everyday. My point about almost giving 9 a thumbs down was that I was hoping for a game that continued the story after Armageddon, not go back to an older part of the story fans should be over. I want to see where the characters will go, what's going to happen to them and what new challenges they will face. I just hope they don't reset everything in the new timeline.

again, you seem to be unable to differentiate what fans on-average wanted and what you want. the 3D games were poorly received by fans (and critics from what I remember) with the exception of MK:Deception since it actually tried. regardless of what you hoped or think, MK9 objectively saved the series and made it better than ever before. in one move, it brought the series back, brought interest of fans and critics alike back, refined the gameplay to the best it's ever been and overall took the series in the best direction it could go. if MK9 failed to do what it had set out to do, then you likely never would've gotten the new characters you love so much in the first place.
