unlike the last two's realistic style.
Nothing all that realistic about the MI games style really. They looked like Dead Or Alive, which is (or was rather) anime as fuck.
What they need to do is amp up the graphics and animation to the level of modern Virtua Fighter or Tekken.
I actually think if there was gonna be a new MI game, it should be more like a 3D fighting game from a mobility stand point, but have the elements of a 2D fighting game like KOF.
That was one of the problems MI had, it tried too hard to be a 2D fighter instead of a 3D fighter. So it's kinda half assed.
Then you have Samurai Shodown Sen which is... this isn't Samurai Shodown at all anymore.
