The History of Mortal Kombat
  • MKSecrets.net is running a retrospective series entitled "The History of Mortal Kombat."

    Automated British narrator aside, the episodes are actually very well done with a great collection of facts and old footage and commercials. An interesting watch for fans of the franchise and those interested in where it all came from.

    lol jk Mortal Kombat is cool yo but too many videos exceeding way over 5 mins in this thread for me to watch
  • Then dont comment.
    I intend on watching them all, even though Im not a MK fan really.
  • It was falling onto the next page with no replies so I decided to bump it without the traditional "bump"

    I watched one at Game Trailers and wasn't impressed with it myself, as there were several mistakes. This was a bit ago so I've forgotten what already :p.

    I spoke to the video's creators actually regarding the annoying narrator and suggested they have an actual human narrate, however apparently they don't want to pay for a voice actor and they've rejected my suggestion of having a volunteer do it or even doing it themselves.

    You can use the subtitles, I guess. The depth of content outweighed my annoyance with the narrator.
  • ask them if they can provide a version without the narration and maybe i can get someone to re-narrate it!

    Nah, I'm not going that far. If they wanted to be stubborn about it all, nuts to them :p.
  • Looks like Ed Boon doesn't like the series, saying it's full of errors, and the creators are defending the facts.

    That's interesting though because I owned many of the magazines and sources they used back in the day and while I've enjoyed the video I didn't learn many new things from it.

    Shame Boon doesn't actually mention what facts he considers wrong.

    Yeah, those GT retrospective videos helped me through some boring ass nights at work. The 10 part Star Wars retrospective is pretty good.
