With this being the year fighting games make their glorious return, it shouldn't be too surprising that Mortal Kombat is going to be getting a sequel (the eighth in the series, can you believe it?). While it is confirmed that there will be another game in the series, the specifics are tightly under wraps for the moment, and Midway plans to release them relatively soon. Some of the outlets that have gotten (or will get) access to the info already have teasers up for the thing, and those in and of themselves may have been more of a giveaway than intended.

GamesRadar posted a teaser image with promise of an exclusive video tomorrow, but they should have looked much more closely at the filename. The image is named "MKDC blog--article_image" which basically gives away the big secret. Not to mention the blatantly obvious Superman silhouette in the picture itself. It looks as though Midway might have an answer of their own to Marvel VS Capcom and X-Men VS Street Fighter. To bad they're about 10 years too late.

[Note: Since this post's original writing, the picture has been removed from GamesRadar's post, so interpret what that means for yourself. We, however, think "confirmed"]

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe gets confirmation, trailer

We were a little skeptical when the first promotional poster for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe leaked out this morning, but now that GamesRadar has posted up the first trailer for the game our reaction has gone from skepticism to amazement. As in, we're amazed that this thing actually exists.

The high impact, mid-air fight between Sub-Zero and Batman (shown below the break) seems a little out of character for the Dark Knight, who's always been more about calculation and strategy than all out hand-to-hand Kombat. We're also a little worried about how the DC heroes' long-standing prohibition against killing is going to match up with the Mortal Kombat series' famously fatal, er, fatalities. But these kinds of academic nerd-concerns are hard to maintain when watching the concentrated 360- and PS3-fueled awesomeness on display in this video.

[Update: Gamespot has an interview with Project Lead Ed Boon that discusses the game's story and the balancing between the variously super-powered characters. The interview also confirm Superman's and Scorpion's somewhat obvious inclusion in the game.]

all I can say is ...... wow

this might be good :yahoo:

Wow

Mortal Kombat had to do something to remain relevant, this is a good choice.

http://www.worldscollide.com/

Lol what's next, Pixel Junk Monsters VS Astroboy? :lmao:

No Fatalities unfortunately.

No Fatalities unfortunately.

you cant have mortal kombat without fatailties

is there an estimated release date?

EDIT: nevermind... this fall

eh i hated Mortal Kombat. (hardcore SFer here). But that clip of Sub Zero vs. Batman makes me think I might actually want to play a MK game

I disagree with this direction.. They are getting rid of too many traditions

This is a day 1 Purchase for me.


now if only Capcom could get the MARVEL Licences now that EA and Marvel disloved their licence partnership. There needs to be a 3D esque or a 2D HD remake of teh Street Fighter vs Marvel and Capcom vs Marvel games.

wow wtf. Looks awesome.

i think this is going to be stupid, why couldnt it be like SF vs. Mortal Kombat (knowing their made by differant companies), something that make sense. Mk vs. DC doesnt even sound right one bit. i may be wrong, but im just not liking the concept of where there going with this

Worst.

Idea.

Evar.

Game is going to flop hardcore. DC and MK have nothing to do with each other... Looks like midway is gasping for air.

Right on Neo42, i think there getting deserate and having to add a popular franchise as DC to the mix, in what seems like a falling brand (even though i love MK back in the day). its just not doing it for me anymore. Midways gotta step up or their gonna go down the whole i havent seem a good Midway game since i dont know when.

eh i thought mk and sf would of been better...

...bad idea to me, and looks like it as well

SF vs MK wouldn't be bad, but Capcom has to be the developer... not a fan of Midway's fighting franchise.

No Fatalities unfortunately.

Boooo. I was wondering what superman and batman's fatalities were. :mad:

This looks/sounds "dangerously cheesy!!"

When Midway announced that DC characters were splicing worlds with Mortal Kombat for a T-rated fighting game, we prepared our eulogy for the fatality, a staple of the MK universe that seemed to run against the DC philosophy. Not so fast, says MK series creator Ed Boon, who hints that the violent sendoffs will still be there, albeit in a tamer fashion.

In an interview with GameTap, Boon notes that the developer never explicitly stated fatalities were going away. "We did acknowledge that we won't be able to do the same kinds of outrageous moves, like tearing someone's head off and the spine being attached to it," he says, adding, "My response is that, no, we're modifying fatalities. But I have every intention to keep finishers."

What's left is to define, then, the nature of the fatality. Are they inherently ultra-violent? So far that answer's been yes, with the extreme alternatives being Friendships and Babalities. For now, we'll just have to wait for the screenshots to show us some kind of finisher that satiates our blood-thirsty desires.

After the break, a collection of fatalities from the series. (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/08/midway-modifying-fatalities-for-mk-vs-dc/)

TOASTIE!!!!!!!!


Sounds like the return of Friendships...

they need to get rid of the puking, for starters. That never made sense to me.

Comics are plenty violent, even DC. My guess is they'll do things like neck and backbreakers and just show limbs at funny angles. Which is usually more disturbing than buckets of blood anyway.

Superman pulling out Batman's Spine. This is a Day 1 purchase for me.

Now Capcom and Marvel need to get together and remake Marvel vs Capcom I would pay $100 for Marvel vs Capcom if it was remade.

ya tbh i wish it was Capcom vs. DC.... i never liked how MK played

This sounds interesting and everything, but when was the last time Midway released a good game? I often wonder if that company is going to go under or not, which is a shame because at one time they made some really good software.

Sounds like new fatalities will be weak.

Probably just as satisfying as watching some noob try to execute a fatality, fail, and have the opponent fall to the ground.

Superman pulling out Batman's Spine. This is a Day 1 purchase for me.

Do you read before you type? They explicitly said that they won't be doing those kinds of fatalities in this game.

Superman bleeds? http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36134.html

Superman bleeds? http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36134.html


Maybe they weakened him with kryptonite :lol: i could care less the game looks good....im a big fighting game fanatic so yeah ill be picking this up :) thanks for the post it made me want it more then ever :)

It's looking better than the Mortal Kombat games have in a long time, IMO. It looks like it plays old school, back to its 2D roots, and not like when Mortal Kombat went 3D and became just another VirtuaFighter and Soul Calibur wannabe. I would have preferred that they pumped the Mortal Kombat characters larger than life to match the DC characters, rather than dumbing down the DC characters to the Mortal Kombat level. I think a part of Marvel vs. Capcom's success was that the Marvel heroes were kept just as they were from their Marvel games while the Street Fighter characters got cranked up with roids and were suddenly able to superjump all over the place and launch a huge super hadoken wave and stuff.

who care about that? Scorpion still has a Toastyyyyy!

in the mortal kombat arena even the gods like Rayden can be hurt and killed so they dont need kryptonite

didn't he have to make himself mortal in order to participate in the tournament? No such "mortality requirement" when worlds collide

I can't believe I actually know the backstory to MK. Let me hang my head in shame.

Man, I would kill for a marvel vs. capcom remake for this gen. That game was wicked fun.

This, on the other hand, looks - exactly as you said - dumbed down for the MK universe

Sucks that Superman bleeds, but cool that he froze Subzero :-) also, I had heard they were'nt going to do fatalities coz DC didn't want their characters "dying" but that last bit looked like Scorpion was about to charbroil the Flash? Good times.

maybe it's a stunt double :lol:

Remember, Superman's other weakness is magic.

I wonder if they are gonna do some of the DC villians.. Lobo would be fun to play as

Not to mention, not having a yellow sun. How would he fare in the pits of hell?

he would be ok for awhile.. but eventually he would deplete his stored solar energy.. i was thinking back to my childhood days and i can remember a few times (other than the Doomsday series) that superman was beaten up.. Lobo pretty much kicked his ass, Mogul also was able to beat him down, and Darkseid pretty much could have killed him at any time..

I'm wondering how they think they'll land a T?

Even cynics like us have to admit at least a passing curiosity with the nerd orgasm that is Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and its cross-universe roster. Earlier today we approached the game's production coordinator, Hector Sanchez, and while he would not let us in on the game's complete lineup, he admitted that the team is looking to feature between 20 to 25 characters, "split up evenly half and half, and then split up again between heroes and villains."

Additionally, while talking about possible alternate costumes or other unlockables, Sanchez told us that the team is "planning to support downloadable content," before stopping short and saying he "was going to say something" but couldn't. Downloadable characters seems the obvious source of his pursed lips, making us continue wondering what comic book icons will be further ground beneath the heel of Midway's floundering franchise.

ummm...if what he says is accurate, there will be either 20 or 24 characters as those are the only numbers that work. :dontknow:

many DC heros won't do fatalities DC did not allow it. Maybe some villians will but some won't again DC limitations.

Now lets hope they do MK vs Marvel or Capcom. Who owns the Marvel IP rights now that. EA lost it and Microsoft canceled the Marvel MMO (actually they are probably saving it for the next gen console)

Microsoft needs to thrown bags of money Capcoms direction and say we want a Marvel vs. Capcom 2D HD remake and then remake it in 3D with SF4's new engine and have that as exclusive that would boost sales in Japan

DC heroes won't do fatalities -- they'll do brutalities which sound on the order of some fatalities from MK and MKII (remember Liu Kang just had a super strong uppercut, no limbs knocked off). Villains will be allowed to kill.

Heres to guessing that the 360 version will have its own exclusive character and the PS3 version will have its own exclusive character also ala SoulCalibur 4 Vader and Yoda.

still a let down over Armagedons 60 characters. Cyrax probably won't be in it becuase the characters have to use "magic" abilities against the superheros not all MK characters have magic then again neither does Sonya and she is in it hmmm maybe theres hope for my favs Baraka and Cyrax.

I just hope they have a few different costumes for charcaters because Batman's blue and grey suit is wearing thin.

Put on your reading glasses and take a looksy at the new video embedded above showcasing a solid four minutes of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe fighting footage. The game actually looks rather intense, true to form and with the addition of free fall combat and close combat scenarios, it could be a winner. Take in all the video goodness and cheer for the Batman. He and his newfound wealth are all the rage right now, don'tcha know.

Love the title

edit>> awe, it's fixed now :(

One of my favorite fighting franchises - but I don't think they'll be able to top Deception...they didn't come close with Annihilation. Scorpion was my favorite fighter until Deception set the bar higher with Noob/Smoke; I don't think they'll be able to top that "Hero"-man or not.

Even though the series probably jumped the shark with Annihilation, I'll probably still buy this damn game (sigh).

Hopefully (if the powers that be allow it) we'll see a Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter game. For now I would settle for an Marvel vs. Capcom 3......

i wonder what the Joker's powers will be.. maybe they'll put the acid shooting flower in his lapel

I have a feeling the characters are gonna be hella unbalanced..

Like the villans will all be better than the "good guys"

No idea why..

it really looks more entertaining than MK has been in a long time. but what's with the open arm punches? Since when did everyone swing their arms like bludgeons and not actually use their elbows?

very cool

for some reason i'm not impressed.

Some of the fatality vids on youtube make this all the more worth my money, come November.

Let's put a smile on that face by checking out Midway's latest batch of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe screenshots, rife with cross-dimensional brawling and enough continuity issues to drive fanboys round the bend. While you enjoy the sight of The Joker blasting Scorpion right out of the Batcave or the Green Arrow putting the squeeze on Shang Tsung, we'll frantically attempt to figure out how Ed Boon managed to steal all our closeted fan fictions.

If these guys don't pummel your fancy, Midway has also informed us that series stalwarts Raiden and Kano will join the game's kombatants, along with the DC universe's Wonder Woman and Deathstoke.

screen shots (http://www.joystiq.com/photos/mortal-kombat-vs-dc-universe-08-20-2008/)

So what's the problem with the Joker's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe fatality (seen at about 3:40 into the video after the break)? Well, nothing per se, it's a perfectly silly, violent way for the criminal mastermind to finish off his foes, and is actually surprisingly brutal for the game's Teen rating.

No, the only real problem is what the attack isn't. As fans of The Dark Knight know, the Joker's real fatality is blindingly obvious. Because, honestly, who doesn't love a good magic trick?

This game was a Day 1 purchase for me. But when I learned it was T rated that immediately changed to a rent or bargain bin used buy in a few months for $29.99. No MK game should be rated T only M. Still the game looks amazing there just better be different costumes that grey and blue Batman has to go.

Agreed... This has me contemplating if I should trade in my SC4 for this..

Thanks for the video Eddie, looks pretty sweet.

The first thing I thought was, "WTF how is THE JOKER in a fighting game???" But the did a good job addressing that issue and actually made it a little believable based on the Joker using gizmos rather than straight up fighting...the fatality was pretty good. MK rarely disappoints in that regard.

My guess is it's because of desensitization to the violence. So long as there's not excessive blood and no dismemberment, they'll probably be fine (now). Would've been M a decade ago, though.

This game is easily a Day 1 purchase. Looking forward to this more than any other game right now.

Honestly.. even though everyone hates ICK... I think he is right. Mortal Kombat should be M rated, and as gory as possible.

It should be M...but this game would have been M just a few years ago. Just like Dark Knight would have been R a couple years ago. The envelope is getting pushed. I think there will be plenty of gore in this game, and I am willing to sacrifice a little for the opportunity to kick the shit out of Superman.

This game looks pretty good but with games like Tekken, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter and even a new Street Fighter, it's hard to warrant purchasing a game that will likely have an inferior fighting system.

I'd rather play classic 2D King Of Fighters on my PS2, thanks. Cuz if I see Superman get his spine torn out, frankly I'll be devastated.

Does the Joker do a fatality on himself with a drug overdose?

That's straight up ignorant. I got to meet him while being one of the officers on set for the dark knight. Why do you even joke like that?

No he doesn't do an OD Fatality But the house keeper does call Marie Kate Olsen instead of dialing 911. (he might have had a chance) :eek:

They've stated that those types of fatalities will not be in the game.

Hence, why this is a pass. MK games were made for M, not T -_-

They've stated that those types of fatalities will not be in the game.

I don't get it. I'd say that Joker's fatality is worse than removing a spine. Ripping a spine out is cartoonish. Joker's fatality is far more realistic.

meh, the ratings have less to do with how realistic it is vs how gruesome it'd be if it were actually real.

You'll notice Joker whips out a second gun. In some of the comic arcs, the "Bang!" gun shoots out as a harpoon and impales the victim. That'd probably be an M.

Frankly If I ever Saw superman get shot in the head thus his krypton brains splattered all over the floor I'd be devastated.

I like how the guy was saying one of Joker's moves was "one of the greatest ever" and then he did it and it was totally meh.

The queue of people looking to take advantage of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe's plot devices and punch Superman to death continues to grow, with an unconfirmed list of Xbox 360 Achievements revealing several unannounced characters. The relatively straightforward challenges task players with performing the "expert combos" for several kombatants, both known -- Batman, The Joker, Scorpion etc. -- and until now, unknown.

The latter category features intergalactic menace Darkseid, sinister slap-head Lex Luthor and Outworld favorite Baraka, who probably wasn't hugged much as a child. Peer past the break for the complete list of known characters while we poke Midway for confirmation.

Update: One curt comment: "Midway has not officially released the Xbox 360 achievements for MK vs. DCU."

Darkseid is one of the few charecters that can slap Superman silly without even breaking a sweat

Darkseid? Really? One-hit KOs abound? The god-characters suck, sorry.

Wonder if these characters will be available on ps3?

I'm happy w/ 3 of the final 4 but Luthor = yawn.

i wish they would have put Lobo in the game

Not only does it have Shazam, but Ross as well. No, not that Ross, the other one. Midway announced that the upcoming "Kollector's Edition" of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe will feature cover art by legenday comic painter, Alex Ross. Also included will be a 16-page prequel comic illustrated by Mortal Kombat co-creator, John Tobias, as well as extra videos of some sort. But just look at that cover!?

And if that isn't enough to relieve your wallet of an extra $10, the Kingdom Come artist's work will also be included as a seperate, removable print, which you can watch come to life in the video above while waiting for Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe to drop in from the Outworld this November.

This game is going to rock.

i saw this cover on gamestops website. but i dont about the game i do like the cover for the kollectors edition, very cool.

They said that it will be explained in the story why everyone else is "on the same level" power-wise w/ Superman.

I hope they have a good explanation lol

thats a funny fatality

Midway is in a lose-lose situation w/ Superman. People are already complaining that the explanation of why Supes is not more powerful than every other character in the game is going to be lame. On the other hand, what would happen if they left Superman out of a DC-related game? People obviously just look for an excuse to bash and bitch wherever they can it seems.

Making a game whose story is "plausible enough" with nerdy gamers is tough enough as it is. throw in the added nerdiness of the comic book gamers and you'll never make people happy. Too many people know too much about their fictional heroes to be able to spot any flaw, and they all want to increase the size of their nerd-nub by pointing it out for the world to see.

Isn't it amusing that people complain about the implausibility of one character being equal to others and not that the guy's invincible, can fly, can shoot lasers out of his eyes, freeze people with his breath...

The storys gonna suck anyways. Villians stop another villian, heroes stop a villian.

Whoah heads up story of the year.

haha jokers fatality made me lol thats pretty awesome, i've been interested in this game since they first announced it

The first would be The Joker's now famous (at least on Internet forums) "fake" gun Fatality, in which the Clown Prince of Crime pulls a pistol, fires at his victim, and has a "Bang!" flag pop out. After a bit of gleeful cackling, The Joker immediately pulls a second gun and fires again, shooting the victim right in the face. Unsurprisingly, it's this face-shooting business that riled the ESRB. As a result, Midway had to move the final portion of the Fatality off-screen, so the player only hears the gunshot and can assume what happened.

The second Fatality was Kitana's, in which she uses her bladed-fan weapons to brutally murder her opponent. Originally, Kitana impaled her foe through the torso with one fan, and through the forehead with the other. In keeping with the ESRB's apparent issues with head injuries, Midway had to change it so that both fans are impaled into the torso. Torso impaling? That's totally T-rating approved.

So get used to the youtube clip of the joker shooting the guy in the face.. its not there anymore :(

Haha...so much for Joker having one of the "bast fatalities ever."

Seriously -- just make the game M.

why dont they want to be M?

This is BS.

why dont they want to be M?



Midway does, DC doesn't.

why dont they want to be M?

Itll sell more if its T, since teenagers can buy it then.

Plus, this is midway's saving grace game.

if this tanks, then they are thru.

Plus I think DC didnt want fatalities at all or something like that..

This is really going to hurt this game's chances of succeeding. I know some of my friends were turned off by the 'T' rating until I sent them the link of the Joker fatality...and now it's out. This really blows.

won't sell more, necessarily. Halo 3 is rated M. GTA4 is rated M. COD4 is rated M. Guarantee those have large teen audiences.

DC didn't want their heroes to kill. Not sure about fatalities.

it's a sad day...

Those are some of the exceptions.. who would honestly buy a T rated GTA4? Halo 3 was only M for Violence..

The reason Mortal Kombat games became famous was because of Violence.. like i've said before, its a slap to the face of all Mortal Kombat fans.

I usually dont like getting into these convos! But here ya go... you got some parents that use games as electronic babysitters i know girls that have their like 5 year old kid playing mortal kombat and doing fatalities is that a good idea? the sad thing is now a days you CANT count on most parents to do the right thing (teaching their kid how to read a book) but you can count on them to do the easiest thing (who cares what game they play as long as they aint botherin me) no matter what the consequences.

:popcorn:

DC didn't want their heroes to kill.

Lol then their decision of licensing their characters to a game known for its blood, gore and dismemberment seems quite absurd.

DC is really screwing the pooch on this one. They really needed to partner with a different company if they wanted a tame experience. It's doubly bizarre because their darker and edgier stuff is the big reason for their recent success.

I'm going to wait on this game until it drops in price (I'm guessing 2 weeks). I don't want MK Neutered.

instead of teaching my kid how to read a book or throw a ball im gonna show them how to do a fatality and shoot someone in the face since it will take alot less physical effort or attention from me.

Exactly. Who would buy a T rated Mortal Kombat. It's actually more ludicrous than a T rated GTA.

And it's why everyone in the game industry was and still is scratching their heads.

I've read that neither Midway nor DC wanted an M rating. So it's not just DC.

But to the comment that an M rating will limit those who can buy it, c'mon. Do stores actually refuse to sell M rated games to people under 17 (or whatever the "required" age is)?

I find that very hard to believe. There has never been a MK game that wasn't M-rated (since they came out w/ those ratings) and it's always been an extremely popular franchise. Many of the top-10 sellers every year are M-rated, so there is still plenty of money to be made even if teenagers can't buy them (which they prob do anyway). DC protecting their properties is the only logical explanation for why it is 'T.' Can't have their precious Superman ripping someone's spine out, now can they?

I dunno. I'm just going by what I've read. Regardless, I will not be buying this game. I'll stick to MKII

They get beat up and stuff in the comics..and a few have gotten killed superman for example got the crap kicked out of him and "died" so they should just keep the fatalities..because they will still be alive on the selection screen..

They're keeping fatalities -- for villains and MK fighters. Just not the heroes, as DC heroes don't kill.

They're just toning down the fatalities relative to where they've been. Headshots are either banned or have to appear off-screen, for example. Odds are dismemberment is out, or at least radically toned down.

Ack, not a very good MK game..stupid DC, heroes can kill too..

They should put the gory stuff that made the game M-rated into a $5.00 DLC pack, to those who can prove they're of age by providing CC info.
More money for them, more happy fans.

yes because kids dont go buy MS or Sony cards/points with cash or get them as presents so DLC is only available to people over 18 with a valid credit card

I know that. But the point I'm trying to make is that in order to download M-Rated content for Teen rated games (like in the example I posted in here) you would have to place a CC on file to validate your age
Even if you wanted to pay with points or account balance

cant happen.. there are too many people with out a cc or that just wont put thier cc info anywhere on the internet

Im hoping for a re release later on down the road.. but I doubt it :(

It'd be nice. What will probably happen is the fatality videos will be unlockable content for the next game (that sure as hell better be 'M').

meh -- they look on-level with most of MK1 or some other titles. Just less gratuitous blood flow and sound effects.

I actually think Green Lantern's brutality's pretty cool. If it were a "real" MK game, the exact same move would've been used, but instead of the legs flopping back out after crushing, somehow the whole body would explode when it hit the ground. Way more realistic this way :lol:

weird -- maybe I'm not following it, but it seems like the beginning of that story sets up for a third faction that isn't seen.

The best part was this though:

Raiden: We challenge you to MORTAL KOMBAT.

DC people: Der, ok! (Psst, wtf is he talkin' bout?)

yea, im going to trade for this later on. it looks ok, not worth 60 bucks

These have been out for a little while. GL and Raiden's are pretty good. Flash's is horrible but what are you supposed to do w/ a guy who just runs fast?

Yeah, something is drawing the two worlds together. Could be someone from either side or a third party.

The Flash's "heroic brutality" looks incredibly stupid. Doesn't he do that same move during the actual fight? What makes this any special to be considered a brutality?

I don't think he elevates them and throws them down. Just runs around them and punches them really fast. Or something like that. Certainly way tamer than green lantern's, though.

In a sense, I'm glad he can't do a fatality? What would it be? Run really fast through a guy and leave a flash outlined hole in him? Just weird.

meh -- they look on-level with most of MK1 or some other titles. Just less gratuitous blood flow and sound effects.

So it's not really on-level w/most of MK1? Bloodflow is what it was all about :P.

So it's not really on-level w/most of MK1? Bloodflow is what it was all about :P.
Meh -- not in all of those fatalities. Raiden's is almost a replica. Liu's MK1 was a big uppercut. Pretty sure Scorpion sees the return of Toasty here. It wouldn't surprise me if we see Kiss of Death, too.

That's half the original roster which only show skeletons (or less), which we see is allowable.

In a sense, I'm glad he can't do a fatality? What would it be? Run really fast through a guy and leave a flash outlined hole in him? Just weird.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at, too. Flash might be a cool character as far as the comics go and he had to be used for this game (good name recognition) but as far as a fighting game is concerned his powers are pretty lame. Don't see what else they could have done. The scary thing is each character has two fatalities or brutalities, so what the hell does his second brutality look like? :lol:

In a sense, I'm glad he can't do a fatality? What would it be? Run really fast through a guy and leave a flash outlined hole in him? Just weird.

he could make his hand vibrate at a fast enough speed that he could pass thru solid objects. example: he could stick his hand in someones chest and rip out thier heart without even making a hole

that's true, I forgot about that.

Writing this post, we were fully ready to laugh heartily at the "story" of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. We were ready to lambast the cheesiness of it. And yet, strangely, we find ourselves reveling in it. The idea that the universes of Mortal Kombat and DC are merging together seems appropriate enough, especially given the comic book context. The explanation that Superman can be hurt by magic and, thus, Scorpion, seems plausible enough. In fact, forget the cheese, forget the cliches, the shear amount of fanboy minutia being flung about is all that really matters. Check out the trailer above and tell us what you make of it.

subzeros is semi-ripped from MK2 (or is it 3?) So apparently neckbreaking is in, so long as it's not ludicrous like Tanya in MK4.

Gotta love the ESRB. Gunshot to the held is totally overboard but neck-breaks all over the place...perfectly acceptable.

Man those fatalitys are for little kids, where is the blood??? breaking bones sucks

OOC, how does blood make it any different? It's the action that's traumatic, not the red pixels the art designer put in.

well the gut ripping is better, not the neck cracking , spine cracking crap

Meh -- not in all of those fatalities. Raiden's is almost a replica.

Are you saying that Raiden's fatality in MK vs DC is almost a replica from his fatality in MK1?

I watched Fatality in MK 1-3 when I still Elementary school :) It's too early I think :)

IIRC, MK1 fatality was hold them up and fry them until head explodes. Now, it's hold them up and fry them until they're all bone.

Maybe it was MK2 or MK3 I'm thinking of? I know it was in there somewhere. Probably even a more similar one than just the head exploding.

Raiden's MK 1 Fatality was blowing up heads with lightning. Its at 0:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPyIK_Vnbl4 Lui Kang's falls into the "Heroic Brutality" category. Sub Zero's was always the best. I'm guessing ripping out a spinal cord is not allowed in a "T" game.

You're right. His fatality is more similar to the one introduced in MK2, where he fries their body until it explodes. Now, instead of exploding, it turns into Meat.

Similar yes, but still different enough to annoy people. Mortal Kombat wasn't popular because of its fighting engine.

Word will spread as more and more people see a Mortal Kombat game that lacks extreme gore. Midway is shooting themselves in the foot by allowing this to be rated T. I remember when the first Mortal Kombat came out in arcades, I think I was 9 or 10 when it came out. People were more excited to watch someone's head get ripped off over watching them turn to a skeleton. This is just my opinion, but I'll say it again, Mortal Kombat was never popular because of its fighting engine.

Maybe this one will be much better... :dontknow:

Midway Games announced today that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe has gone gold and is scheduled to be available in retail stores throughout North America on November 16, 2008, and throughout Europe on November 21, 2008.

Resistance 2 is about as "really high profile" as you can possibly get, and it came out on a Tuesday... so where are you getting your stats from?

edit>> I WAS going to use LittleBigPlanet as my example, but that came out on like 13 different days, in the USA alone.

Nice video...I own all the MKs and my favorite by far is still MKD. They broke the mold with Noob/Smoke.

You didn't even click the link, did you?

Makes me sad. Time to rock out to some fitty....

so this is released on a sunday. is the onyl way to get this game on sunday if you go to a store?

I was gonna preorder from amazon.com (its 4$ cheaper and no tax) but i want it on sunday. WIll it ship form amazon on Monday or ship from amazon on friday in time for saturday.

As far as I know, Amazon never breaks street dates so there is no way you would get it on Saturday.

what do you think about midnight purchase at a 24 hour wal mart?

ended up watching more videos for this game last night.

can't wait!! :drool:

I'm tempted to import the European version which won't have any of the fatalities censored like the NA version.

Would that even work on your xbox? I'm guessing yours is hacked?

That's weird. It's usually the other way around.

:P


There were a couple 360 owners on the Midway boards that were claiming that some games for the 360 are region-free, so maybe it is a possibility. Is that true?

Well, looks like the online play for this game is going to be region-encoded. So there would be no point to buy the EU version to see the two original fatalities because I wouldn't be able to play U.S. people online. :(

Sucks, but it makes sense that they are doing it.

So when are the reviews coming out for this???

Good question. Nothing on metacritic yet.

Anybody pick this up yesterday? Got it right at 10am when CC opened up. Beat both of the story modes already. The Kombo Challenges look impossible.

I rented it. Spent 2 hours trying to complete Batman's Kombo Challenge and still didn't get it. No way I'll finish them for all of the characters. The Game is OK, I'm glad I rented instead of buying though.

how are the fighting styles? one thing i hated about the last few MK games is that they gave each charecter 3 different fighting styles which meant you had way too many moves to even try to learn all the charectors.. are they back to just one fighting style for each charecter?

Back to the basics. There are tons of moves still, but not 3 styles.
