Traditionally, the various Mortal Kombat video games give a side view of the action, filling the screen with a wide horizontal look at the fighting as characters move left and right to punch and kick and generally try to beat their opponent. But thanks to an impressive mod called MK11Hook, Mortal Kombat 11 players can instead choose to completely recontextualize these fights by shifting the camera to a wild first-person perspective or even a third-person perspective.
Technically, MK11Hook is a whole suite of tools including the ability to mess with the game speed along with the various camera shenanigans among other odds and ends. It works much like MKXHook, a previous plugin from the same modder, ermaccer. The whole thing is open source, so you can check out what’s going on under the hood over on Github if that’s your sort of thing.
