This new game every other year schedule is going to wear NRs out and lead to mediocre games. That's exactly what happened with the 3D MK games, i.e. a new game every two years and as time went by they got worse and worse. MKDA (awesomeness) > MKD (also awesomeness, but a bit too broken) > MKA (terrible game) = MK vs. DC (mediocre, bland, below average game).



Not only that, but lower quality games lead to lower profits long term, hence Midway going out of business around the same time as MK vs. DC came out is no coincidence at all. Only after the rights to MK were bought by Warner Brothers and the MK team took their time (3 years) to make a good, quality game, was MK9 released and it became a sensation, just like the old school 2D games. As a result, NRS's reputation was bolstered, along with theirs and WB's profits.



So what's the moral of the story?! Take your time and make a good game, and higher profits and popularity will follow. Two years is not enough. MK10 should not come out before 2016.



We, the fans, also have a role to play in the above scenario. Meaning, stop harassing the developers and demanding a new game before the current one hasn't even reached half of its lifespan. The majority of people on these boards remind me of spoiled 10 years old kids in a candy store, "I want a new game, I want a new, I want a new game"! Cool your tempers and have some patience.



Ok, rant over. Come at me.
