Well, I got a fairly positive reaction to the last “Rebirth” article, so why not pump out another? Really, this “Darker, Grittier” fad is the gift that keeps on giving, and if Hollywood can keep on manufacturing darkly realistic spins on old properties, then so can I! Let’s take another worn out arcade favorite, dust it off, and give it a fresh coat of black paint. The best part is, if the games don’t have a plot to begin with, no one can claim I’m not doing it right!
I recently wrote an article about the so-called Mortal Kombat: Rebirth trailer. That article was about what the trailer had to offer, and what it meant for the Mortal Kombat series of games. Its attempt to spin an absurd premise into a plausible one is one of the few ways to give a video game movie a chance with the average audience. The path forward is clear, then. We must re-imagine gaming’s greatest hits with a gritty, darkly-realistic tone. This is going to be fun.
