  • Footage of Mortal Kombat 3 development. Behind the scenes footage with que original actors.
    Wikipedia: Mortal Kombat 3 was originally considered to be made using 3D graphics, before reverting to sprite graphics of the previous games. Its overall style was envisioned differently from in the previous Mortal Kombat games. Instead of the heavily-Oriental themes of Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat II, the theme of MK3 is more Western-contemporary. The game's stages are set in modern locations (such as urban highways, churches, and bank rooftops), three of the characters are cyborgs, and traditional character designs (such as Sub-Zero's or Kano's) have been dropped or modified in favor of modern replacements. This change is also reflected in the soundtrack, in which all Oriental motifs have been dropped in favor of modern instrumentation.
    Some of the characters from previous Mortal Kombat games who returned in Mortal Kombat 3 were portrayed by new actors since their original portrayers left Midway due to royalty disputes over the use of their likenesses in console versions. Ho Sung Pak (Liu Kang in the first two games, as well as Shang Tsung in the first Mortal Kombat), Phillip Ahn (Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat II), Elizabeth Malecki (Sonya Blade), Katalin Zamiar (Kitana/Mileena/Jade) and Daniel Pesina (Johnny Cage and Scorpion/Sub-Zero/Reptile/Smoke/Noob Saibot) were not involved in the production of MK3.
    Prior to the release of Mortal Kombat 3, Daniel appeared in an advertisement for another fighting game, BloodStorm, which resulted in a false rumor that it got him fired by Midway. All this led to the use of new actors for Liu Kang (Eddie Wong), Sonya Blade (Kerri Hoskins), Shang Tsung and Sub-Zero (both played by John Turk) in MK3. Richard Divizio (Kano) also took over the role of Noob Saibot (as the character was a recolored Kano in this version). Carlos Pesina, who played Raiden in the first two games, did not appear in MK3 as a penalty for his involvement in the rival game Tattoo Assassins, but was still employed by Midway and his character would return in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, although through the use of recycled sprites from MKII and new sprites performed by Sal Divita.
    The game has a different tone overall than its predecessors and uses a noticeably more muted and less-vibrant color palette. Characters were heavily digitized, as opposed to the hybrid digitized/hand-drawn style of MKII. Many of the game's backgrounds were, for the first time, created using pre-rendered 3D graphics.

      @@justjames391 I dislike entire MK11 look and feel, colors are bland (MK3 512 color limitation made it more vibrant), animations are awkward, character shapes make you blink cause it's unrelatable to something real. Everything lacks character and follow a mainstream production framework. You have all sorts of fatalities, but no matter how gory, they manange the extrardinary feat of making them all zero poignant. The music also sucks. MK3 gives you shivers. It's akin to Slipknot composition stlye, it sounds very violent and creepy. Just the selection screen goals immensely. You can't compete with 90's edginess, colors, attitudes and overall vibe at the time that made MK3 possible. I feel MK11 is kind of purposefully watered down not to be shocking while contain what should normally. Point is, you can give people the best ingredients, but if you don't have a genius cook, James Cameron-level, you're gonna make very un-engaging stuff.

    Last time I played MK 3 and Trilogy was almost 20 years ago, they gave me some great memories. Look how much effort and passion went into this from everyone, wish gaming was like this again.

      Yeah I love the 90s and 3rd era and including mk vs dc designs for the mortal kombat characters. I don't really like the over design looks they have now. Details are fine but don't over do it. Keep it simple and traditional especially if they are eastern based characters.

      Yeah baby. And it's seems like the design was *grossly overdetailed* for some people's taste right...
      And I think that keeping it "simple and traditional" thing for designing any "Mortal Kombat 🐉" characters seems like a *pretty good choice* to me...👍

    I would never have guessed Sub Zero was actually someone wearing red, then color-corrected to blue after shooting, but it does make sense when it's all filmed in front of a blue screen.
