Check Out These ‘Mortal Kombat 4’ Endings Recreated Using Unreal Engine 4 [Video]
Mortal Kombat 4 is noted as being the first 3D entry in the series, though by today’s standards, it doesn’t fare as well as other 3D fighters of its era. Making matters worse were the endings, which in the arcade version, used the in-game representations of the fighters, complete with their questionable animations and equally-questionable dialogue. So, what’s a fan to do but recreate the endings themselves using modern technology?
That’s exactly what YouTuber Darko Subotin has been doing over the course of the past five months. And while he’s only done four of the kombatants so far, the visual quality makes the endings far more palatable. The dialogue, on the other hand, is still cringeworthy cheese, but there’s a certain “charm” about it.
Black Tabby Games has dropped a little update on the progress for Scarlet Hollow, announcing that writing work on their planned expansion to the game’s first five episodes has finished, with the team pivoting to the art. Testing for the update is set to begin in “about a couple of weeks,” though if you’re a Patreon member, you can get early access to it.
The update adds around 70,000 words of new and remastered content, with most of it expanding some of the shorter sections. The update also tweaks certain aspects of gameplay, as well as adding more dialogue (obviously) between characters, and even revamps one of the endings to the fifth episode.
The team also confirmed that writing for Episode 6 is well underway, though no release date has been announced.
Currently in Early Access on Steam, Scarlet Hollow is an immersive horror-mystery with sharp writing, impactful choices, and meticulously hand-drawn art. What was supposed to be a quiet getaway in the rural mountains of North Carolina to meet your long-lost cousin and comfort her through her mother’s funeral, has turned into a nightmare of cryptids and other supernatural horrors. You only have to survive a week. But can you get to the bottom of these mysteries haunting Scarlet Hollow before they claim your life?
