Passagem Secreta Presents

00:00:03.330 --> 00:00:04.714
>> Rafael Fernandes: Mortal Kombat 9 is there,

00:00:04.715 --> 00:00:09.545
restarting the series with extremely detailed graphics and fatalities more sadistic than ever.

00:00:09.546 --> 00:00:14.610
However, more than 10 years ago, the series made its first transition to 3D,

00:00:14.611 --> 00:00:18.280
while it tried to keep the fun of the two-dimensional trilogy.

00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:22.370
While Mortal Kombat 4 was very well received by critics,

00:00:22.371 --> 00:00:26.765
it seems that players have not seen much fun in polygonal characters a bit rubbery,

00:00:26.766 --> 00:00:30.535
and not even with the return of the series to the more darker, more violent environment.

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:36.350
Still, the game was ported by Eurocom for the PlayStation, PC and Nintendo 64,

00:00:36.351 --> 00:00:38.730
and as expected for the Nintendo console,

00:00:38.731 --> 00:00:43.765
there was a series of cuts to fit the game in the 16 mega capacity of the cartridge.

00:00:43.766 --> 00:00:45.765
Yeah, 16 mega!

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:48.075
Besides the highly-compressed sound,

00:00:48.076 --> 00:00:51.775
the opening and ending CGs of each character were replaced with small films,

00:00:51.776 --> 00:00:55.080
using graphics generated in real time by the console itself.

00:00:55.470 --> 00:00:58.615
And if these original endings already were not that great,

00:00:58.616 --> 00:01:03.185
imagine using all the power of the video game allied with the unwillingness of some programmers.

00:01:03.186 --> 00:01:08.515
So, stay there to check out the most ridiculous endings of Mortal Kombat 4.

00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:17.435
Reiko was a newcomer in that game.

00:01:17.436 --> 00:01:19.575
With good moves and a cool appearance,

00:01:19.576 --> 00:01:23.700
the character was well received by fans, despite its mysterious story;

00:01:23.701 --> 00:01:27.080
so mysterious that they decided that this would be the ending for him.

00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:53.125
Wait, that's it?

00:01:53.126 --> 00:01:55.780
This is one of the least rewarding endings I've ever seen.

00:01:55.781 --> 00:01:59.250
How could he enter a portal so poorly done, without even explaining anything?

00:01:59.251 --> 00:02:00.630
Well, go figure.

00:02:01.610 --> 00:02:03.370
In the fourth place, we have Liu Kang,

00:02:03.371 --> 00:02:06.905
that since is the protagonist, has a somewhat more elaborate ending,

00:02:06.906 --> 00:02:09.270
though a little disappointing, eh.

00:02:09.270 --> 00:02:10.270
Check it out.

00:03:04.442 --> 00:03:05.700
>>Rafael Fernandes: Stop, stop, stop everything!

00:03:06.301 --> 00:03:09.773
So you mean that Kitana, at her best "Talisa Soto" style,

00:03:09.774 --> 00:03:14.100
appears and invites him to rule a realm full of riches and plenty of lust,

00:03:14.101 --> 00:03:15.820
and Liu Kang refuses?

00:03:19.525 --> 00:03:20.670
>>Rafael Fernandes: For God's sake, huh.

00:03:20.671 --> 00:03:23.025
Well, with someone screaming with a voice so thin, it was expected, huh.

00:03:25.226 --> 00:03:28.040
Now we have Johnny Cage, who, as always,

00:03:28.041 --> 00:03:29.470
is unconnected in the story.

00:03:29.471 --> 00:03:31.630
And has gotten an adequate ending, take a look.

00:04:16.461 --> 00:04:19.430
>>Rafael Fernandes: Well, if anyone has any plausible explanation for this,

00:04:19.432 --> 00:04:22.230
please, do not forget to send your letter to the show, okay?

00:04:22.731 --> 00:04:25.821
In second place, we have Quan Chi, who seems to have something wrong.

00:04:26.302 --> 00:04:28.672
Despite having one of the best fatalities of the game,

00:04:28.673 --> 00:04:30.653
he has serious muscle problems,

00:04:30.654 --> 00:04:33.844
having many spasms in most of his animations.

00:04:33.845 --> 00:04:36.010
Take a look at his ending, so you will know better.

00:05:36.062 --> 00:05:39.400
>>Rafael Fernandes: Evil tongues say that Quan Chi had an epileptic seizure after that.

00:05:39.401 --> 00:05:40.675
Does not surprise me much.

00:05:41.700 --> 00:05:45.355
And, in the very first place, not only one, but three characters!

00:05:45.356 --> 00:05:48.590
As Sonya, Jax and Jarek, who is a disciple of Kano,

00:05:48.591 --> 00:05:52.590
share the same story in the tournament, they have more or less the same ending.

00:05:52.591 --> 00:05:56.015
What you will see now, more precisely, is the ending of Jax,

00:05:56.016 --> 00:05:59.680
that from all three, is the one with the largest number of poorly done things in this little film.

00:05:59.681 --> 00:06:03.110
What you will see now is quite disturbing.

00:06:03.111 --> 00:06:04.955
Get the children out of the room.

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.710
>>Rafael Fernandes: Let's go back a little and think a bit: would it not be better like this?

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.650
>>Rafael Fernandes: Seriously, guys, this is "THE" ridiculous ending.

00:07:28.651 --> 00:07:32.970
Not only the script that was written by someone who has the mental age of 10,

00:07:32.971 --> 00:07:37.050
the animations are ridiculous, and what Jarek tries to say when he falls from the cliff, eh?

00:07:41.429 --> 00:07:42.629
>>Rafael Fernandes: It's better not to know it.

00:07:49.700 --> 00:07:52.345
Of course the game has many other poorly done endings.

00:07:52.346 --> 00:07:56.120
This video was just to show that while we are in the era of photorealism,

00:07:56.121 --> 00:08:00.490
there have been times when technological limitations gifted us with things like these,

00:08:00.491 --> 00:08:02.285
and the worst: we loved them.

00:08:02.686 --> 00:08:05.945
Although almost forgotten, Mortal Kombat 4 can still be fun,

00:08:05.946 --> 00:08:08.650
even if unintentionally, eh.

00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:16.963
Produced by Rafael Fernandes
