Behind The Scenes Of Mortal kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

[@johnnyzero8853]

A game with such potential deserves a remake.

[@dragonshinobi1978]

Hell yeah, like a third-person game not OTS view, but kinda like ninja gaiden having its 4 elemental stages overhauled with new designs, puzzles, traps, enemies, etc.

[@corp.gamer.inc.8688]

Its likely it can get a remake

[@samfish5500]

This game was awesome. I wish Tobias can come back and join nrs.

[@mi-han7449]

There were 2 major issues about this game. 1) turn button during the fights, 2) a stunnin' difficulty of the game with a large amount of traps. I'm thinkin' that most of the people stopped playin' during level 2. I know i was, but that didn't stop me from eventually learn how to jump on the swinging platforms properly. In the end i was able to beat this game on very hard without using cheat codes. I will forever be thankful to John Tobias and his crew for making this game. It made Bi-Han my favorite character.

[@pre180]

I wish John Tobias was still apart the creative group. He would have checked Kevin Tach.

[@kaaashoofd1]

It was my first game ever on ps1 and it was great!!!

[@foxypaws9731]

John Tobias, what a genius

[@JackDoe1]

IDK why everyone hated this game, I thought it was pretty damn awesome.

[@THECH0SEN0NE82]

first game i ever beat on my own. it took me the whole summer after 3rd grade to get through and figure all the traps and paths out but it was pretty rewarding. to this day i enjoy sitting thru tryna beat the campaign as quick as possible.. always wanted to see some sort of rom hack to this as far as different levels i think that would be awesome.

[@clarelo1980]

subzero mythologies was a real bad ass game and i used to own it still wish i did

[@TuneTamasha]

Shame they didn't make more of these.

[@marmcd2003]

They did it's called Mortal Kombat Special Forces and it was terrible so they stopped doing anymore.

[@GhostFan-ev4di]

+Marcus McDonald Actually you are wrong kinda..... they made Shaolin Monks

[@b_side8669]

TuneTamasha they made this one & special forces & Shaolin monks I think that they should come back to doing at least a few more of these type of games with today's Technology & I know that john tobies sry if I got the last name wrong isn't with ed boom any more but I still think that they can pull it off without him

[@b_side8669]

I mean boon

[@Gogeta2501]

@@GhostFan-ev4di Shaolin Monks was sick

[@FargoJ02]

I absolutely love to see these kinds of documentaries, I get really inspired by seeing how the special effects are implemented and what particular techiques are used for them :-) Thanks!

[@cwing1028]

One of my favorite games

[@doriancoreyscloset421]

Narrator: So what was your thought process behind this game? Ed Boon: oh, I just wanted to make a game that was hard AF for no reason with a high probability the player will break it from frustration. Narrator: Spot on mate

[@tomgiddens2963]

I absolutely loved the game. I'm surprised it didn't do better. I agree that it is due for a remake or, at the very least, another game like this or Shaolin Monks. Netherrealms make it happen, please!

[@gasolina9292]

When it came to the creative direction (story, characters, character designs and backstory) John tobias was the best

[@David196]

"Do not FAIL me!" haha

[@hectorantonio6444]

"We, you and I" (background laugh).

[@DiscloseProductions]

Yeah dude, I very distinctly remember renting this on vhs too. I thought it was so goddamn awesome, but they took off the shelves after a short time so I guess it was just a limited promo release

[@orinanime]

@ultrawwefan Oddly enough... they were going to, sorta. A little "Mythologies" and a little "Shaolin Monks". It was going to be called "Mortal Kombat: Fire and Ice". It was going to be about the rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero. And feature a storyline after MK4, where they team up, after Scorpion realizes that Quan Chi is actually responsible for the destruction of the Shinrai Ryu and the original Sub-Zero (Noob Saibot) was essentially framed.

[@adampayne2088]

This game deserves a prize. Mortal Kombat games are still the best. All around awesome and amazing. Ed Boon and John Tobias have created a Truly amazing franchise and I'm very sure we'll see another Mortal Kombat game soon. Need I say more.... MORTAL KOMBAT!!

[@Clarensee]

00:01 that's an AMAZING company logo, that holds up _superbly_ today.

[@Berni0707]

Luke do you have a behind the scenes from Mortal Kombat II? Or something about MK II?

[@adestickbaby]

This game was great. I still wont sell it. I remember having to be so careful and precise. Had to learn to use the turn button effeciently. He said (whoever it was in the clip) that the controls were just the same as the others MKs But to split hairs there was the turn button that was added. But hey if you didnt use it properly you were screwed.hmm not such a hair splitting fact after all. Yeah I definetly remember it being merciless at times. Wind stag,e frustrating yet rewarding.

[@youwayo]

Im glad they decided to go with a Chinese assasin/thief and not the more common japanese ninja

[@Gogeta2501]

They should MAKE MORE ADVENTURE FIGHTING GAME mk

[@orinanime]

@numbah82 Noob = Boon backwards. It's just as much Ed's as it is John's. But Noob will still be in the games. BTW, John Tobias came back to work on MK vs DCU.

[@Terminatorfan-2016]

Very underrated

[@TotalMK]

Its from a MKM promo / press tape...practly impossible to find these days.

[@TotalMK]

This was a press only issue tape, the only MK tape that has been for rent at Blockbuster was "Into Outworld the making of MK3".

[@إمبراطورديتريش]

Great game.One of the best from MK universe.There are perfect all.

[@joed9554]

loved this game.

[@riderjd83]

i have a question... what is the new code for the motion caption studio? :3

[@theoriginalrazer]

cool man the only vid i could find for mkm:sz was the outtake video! i love this shit! ^-^

[@theshredder39]

if i remember correctly in Saibot's ending on Armageddon they said something about him fusing with the younger Sub-Zero, they should show what that looks like in MK9

[@keyblade126]

Ahhaha, i remember that. I still got the cassette tape of those songs.

[@sunaliba]

The chinese music is great ... Great video ,Thnx

[@Serb248]

That's why they came up in MKD as classic Sub-Zero being Noob Saibot.

[@ShadowMask90]

The swinging platforms in the wind level pissed me off, it was the ultimate troll in the game

[@TotalMK]

3. Q) Where is the Universal Translator located? A) The Universal Translator is an item pictured and described in the instruction manuals, but not in the actual game. The option to "Drop" items (also in the instruction manuals) is absent as well. No sources are known that explain why this is.

[@Diggy22]

Wow, I still remember when I got this VHS out of a bargain bin at Blockbuster. 99 cents used. :-)

[@ReesesCupsAreGood]

Lol those swinging platforms! What a pain

[@kaihedgie]

@aznperson84 You couldn't ask them to do that because back then, Midway was very discreet about their gaming development. It would be like saying: HAY GAIZ, WANNA SEE THE NEW GAME WE'RE WORKING ON THAT'S NOT EVEN IN THE TESTING STAGES OF YET?

[@Terryfan]

@BIGBOSS1983100 He also played Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

[@orinanime]

@numbah82 yeah, i read that somewhere. I still like to think he had a hand in the design, considering the drawings in the comic and the design in the game, are the first ones to look a lot like his old school designs since MK4

[@KingPointy]

@theshredder39 You do realize that pretty much ALL the endings on Armageddon were non-canon right? MK9 is going back to the timeline of the first 3 games, but with added twists.

[@TotalMK]

lol there was never an "MKM: Liu Kang" planned...

[@TiagoSouza-tr3tq]

I just came here to say it never happened. But, we have Shaolin Monks, that's something!

[@maartenvandijk8461]

If youre a fan of Mk, you know this was the real thing. The combat, music, secrets and atmosphere was all there... Klassic! You dont like this game? you have no skill, or you just say whatever you have read others say (SHEEP behavier)

[@unkles]

word

[@إمبراطورديتريش]

Truth.Those who hate this game,just pussies who like special moves with energy and all shit like MKX.

[@StarFox85]

i already played batman forever...nothing to do with been a fan mythology sucks more then conquest Armageddon

[@CheapJabroni]

Maarten van Dijk you are lost pal

[@gegensw4500]

without john tobias mortal kombat started getting worse

[@Onkarian]

One of my favourite games ever.

[@ndnblood]

where do you get the universal translator

[@cemsengul16]

I loved this game and the Jax spin off game even though everybody hates it. I wish they made more story games like those for us in the future. Do you guys remember MK Shaolin Monks, the Liu Kang and Kung Lao game, that was the shit. I know its really corny but I wish we still had FMV games in 2019 but it will never happen. There was a sequel to MK Shaolin Monks that was planned about Sub-Zero and Scorpion that got cancelled. The sequel was going to be called MK Fire and Ice, man that would have been really cool to see.

[@errod88]

@TotalMK Is the person that plays Quan Chi also Kano Im not sure.

[@errod88]

@TotalMK is that mega drive controller at 06:10

[@OrgasmicAbortion]

MK Mythologies : Johnny Cage would gas

[@vickycole9293]

If this game did well. I wonder how many more they would have made

[@xdamatox62]

Vicky Cole I believe they would have done the most of the characters from the first Mortal Kombat game. Sucks because it was a cool idea and concept for a game

[@KillaCamrizzleBell]

@TotalMK u ain't lyin bout dat stage...

[@DevilMaster]

@ultrawwefan I'd like a MKM: Scorpion, but done in the style of MK: Shaolin Monks.

[@Sub___Zero]

3:15 Jataaka in first floor , outside...

[@sonicheroes1982]

I hate to break it to you,but I was able to rent this at my blockbuster for free before the game came out.

[@3moctezumaboys]

Thank you. That was very helpful :)

[@bjr43]

Where'd you find this?

[@TerryBogard675]

Is that a wavenet machine I just saw?

[@Sonicgott]

I wonder if that would explain the character duo "Noob-Smoke."

[@numbah82]

@orinanime I know what it means John only came back to work on the MK vs DC comic books he didnt do any work on the actual game

[@Serb248]

@TheSonicGod Of course it would.John Tobias is the father of the MK storyline and characters. When he left, everything went wrong and lame. Vogel is maybe a good game designer but he definately can not replace Tobias's work in MK storyline and characters.

[@jekblom123]

why aren't the Asian characters never played by Asian actors?

[@luisman369]

Low budget not for good looking and buff asian actors I suppose.

[@kaihedgie]

@carcassgrindcorpsesc In the original timeline, it was said that he and his brother are Chinese Americans.

[@kaihedgie]

@aznperson84 Actually no, they added on the half-American part due to the fact that they could not stay consistent with an Asian playing the unmasked ninja characters since, well, they didn't know any Asian bodybuilders they could hire plus John Turk had done a much better job of portraying the ninja characters than Daniel Pesina. You probably hadn't known this but, most of the cast, including the ninja characters, were mainly composed of athletes/bodybuilders

[@GatekeeperofOld]

I heard the mortal kombat mythologies series was going to make a komeback for other characters 2022

[@sonicheroes1982]

I remember renting this from blockbuster for free

[@kisame500]

whats the differents between the PSX and the PS1?

[@TotalMK]

That was for the making of MK3, this wasn't for rent at blockbuster.

[@numbah82]

so since tobias isnt with MK anymore, does that mean noob saibot wont be in any more Mk games??

[@callmek20]

The greatest time for Bi Han .

[@PashaDefragzor]

Maybe this way MK should evolve in a future... Where each or some of faction fighters go through the levels in full 3d like in DarkSouls 2 or Absolver something between MK4 and MK Mythologies, but with good graphics

[@FightingGamesDen]

Man, those actores are all on steroids lol Look at Raiden, damnn

[@-BlazeK-]

kool im first :P WOOT SUBBY BEST CHARACTER EVER

[@numbah82]

@orinanime Unfortunately him making the comic books still has no affect on the actual game per say. By the time he makes the comic books , character models have already been designed and then he just draws what he sees. Although i do understand why you would think that

[@alerxcis]

i have a n64 with that game, and that version don`t have the movies ):

[@RazgrizXMG0079]

I saw on another video a comment talking about Noob Saibot. Noob Saibot = Tobias Boon. Now I know the reason for Noob's name.

[@thegoldenfret123456]

i have put together in my head, not sure at this time if this is writen down on the internet anywhere but i'm pretty sure that noob saibot's name was made from ed boon's last name and john tobias' last name,so that would be boon tobias so just turn around boon and you get noob and turn around tobias and you get saibot. noob saibot please don't call me a dumb ass if everybody already knows.

[@FargoJ02]

You can always download it somewhere :)

[@TotalMK]

It would be great but he has moved onto to a new Carrer. But if he did come back I would throw a fucking party.

[@RSXSmoke]

no, thats not why.. that actually saved them some money, and it was a good game they announced they were in trouble before that game released

[@goobermouth17]

This game really got a bad rap, seems like most people were bothered by the turn-around button, but that didn't bother me. This game was a unique way to take traditional MK gameplay and use it in a platform-style action game, and I feel they did it successfully. I don't care what the majority says, I know I liked this game very much, and I still play it from time to time.

[@TheHakku]

It wasn't? Aw man. Guess I got my facts wrong. I could've sworn I'd heard that quite a bit ago.

[@mkfanforever58]

i know this used to be me and my brothers favorite game!

[@calvin3464]

I really hope John Tobias comes back to the team.

[@Terryfan]

That was cool

[@Barrelwood64]

Wonder how they felt about having Sub-Zero fight a fire-breathing dinosaur at the Bridge of Immortality?

[@strykah92]

9:25 Sagat was in an MK game?

[@TotalMK]

lol just level 2 was hard as shit...those fucking platforms man...

[@LifelessLife85]

I never actually owned this game eventho i had a PSX... hy cousins had it for N64 and it was nothing but frustration to me... Maybe if i had it myself i couldnve managed to beat it :)

[@MASOFENT]

John Tobias must return to the team

[@ANTIMKrebirth]

this game was the best... i dont understand anyone that says it was bad in anyway, or just okay... this game was fuckin badass...

[@mkrulz77]

Completely agree with you.

[@SamShadow93]

This game had so much potential.... shame the gameplay came out so shitty. If they focused as much on controls as they did the graphics they wouldn't have had that problem.

[@cjronetwentyseven2937]

Ikr. and 7 yrs later, there was Shaolin Monks. We'rent there rumors that "Scorpion" was supposed to get his own version similar to Sub-Zero's Mythologies?

[@thepain1983]

@thegoldenfret123456 yes thats a definite buddy

[@usamazahid3882]

Tmk, I know that your particular obsession with Mortal Kombat is ok and all, but have you been a fan of the Batman Arkham games?.

[@dbpooper7512]

Did the playtester mouth "Street Fighter?"

[@EnriqueStyle]

OHHHHH CHINESE NINJA WARRIORR.... WIth your HEART SOOOO COLD!!!! SUB ZEROOOOOOOOOOO OHHHHH Your Life Is a Mystery.... And you wear a MASK!!! LOL

[@3moctezumaboys]

Can anybody tell me what happened to john tobbias?
