What i dont understand is since midway are so "profit driven" at the moment, why the FUCK would they even think of this piece of shit.
They are eliminating.
1. People who love MK full stop and wouldn't accept anything else!
2. People who love MK but dont like or even know DC
(I for one only know superman and batman)
3. And simply people who think crossovers are shit!

Now is it just me or has that eliminated a shit load of loyal fans, it seems like either this is the biggest prank ever or midway and ed boon have just comitted corporate suicide!

I feel like I have been pulvarised in the ass. I wanted to see the MK Storyline continue.

Never got into comics.
To me DC Characters seem to have a happy happy side to them.

Even though past MK's have had bright colors and stuff, Mortal Kombat Charcters have a darker storyline, I like that.

BS Move Midway.

not just that but they also let us wait for the news for quite a long time .Dont just say that no one forced us to do so .We were tricked as we thought it will be a dark , gritty and serious MK game that awaits us after the count down .

But it seems we are facing this crap .

I guess Boon was thinking of getting everyone to talk about this game by shocking the crap out of everyone. Seems to be working.

I hope there's a storyline to this insanity. MK is after all about the realms, Maybe through a deterioration in the barrier between the realms due to certain forces, the two universes meet.

Comic book tie-in anyone?

well isn't this year ODD!!!!!

first Knight Rider turns mustang on us..

now my beloved Midway straight pulled a capcom on us....

what next.





I think the game can be great, for the love of god Boon if your gonna do it, please do it right, FATALITIES. Don't cheap out with a teen rating. We want the mature rating.

This is one of the most retarded things I've seen since the special olypmics.

No fatalities and no blood... there goes 50% of the reason I love MK.
How the fuck can they incorporate a descent MK storyline? I wanted to know more about MORTAL KOMBAT, not fucking comic book characters. There story is the other 50% reason I liked MK.

So with 0% left, what the fuck do I have to look forward to? Some spandex wearing ass clown saying:
"HOLY JILLAKERS BATMAN, THAT NINJA JUST THROUGH A SPEAR AT ME!"

Great, just great.
I'm going to give this game a chance, but you can bet your bottom dollar, when I am RENTING this game, I won't touch a single DC character when playing. I might even be tempted to reset the system every time I go up against DC character.


I swear to god, MKA's create a fighter is partly responsible for this crap. All these people making their favorite super heroes and shit. "OH GEE, THEY REALLY LIKE MAKING COMIC BOOK GUYS. HEY VOGEL, I GOT AN IDEA FOR MK8!! TO THE BAT KAVE!"

"if soul calibur can pull it off then I'm pretty sure Mortal Kombat can."

bah dont insult sc4 like that. soul calibur has guest characters, just a couple, not half the roster of fighters. it isnt sc4 vs. star wars or sc4 vs. anime girls, its sc4 with a few guests.

if mk had batman as a guest character that would be fine but a cast of dc characters set in the dc world and mk world vs mk fighters is for 4 year olds...and really lame 4 year old at that.

let me take a guess here at what boon will say.... it will be akin to hey i have loved batman since i was a kid and i have always dreamed of making a game with batman and his pals along with my creations! it has also been my dream to piss off the majority of mk fans out there at the same time so we are really excited about this game! so please, all 4 remaining mk fans out there please go buy it!

dada..., the death of midway!

More like the introduction to an entirely new group of fans: the youngsters.
They're trying to boot all us grumpy "old guys" out and get new people in who masturbate to the idea of comic book characters. Let's cash in on hollywood's idea! Bringing SUPA HEROOOZ!

This is really retarded...and if they take the blood/gore/fatalities away I'm going to really be upset. It's bad enough that MK is going to include freakin' comic book characters, but now what are they going to do with the storyline??

This is a sad day for all Mortal Kombat fans...

Ed Boon said this game would be darker and grittier than ever, How is featuring "HAPPY HAPPY" Superheroes who are nearly invincible Darker?

I never got into comics so this is BS.

All I know is Batman.

I'm almost 30 years old. Mortal Kombat is really the only thing from when I was younger that I still enjoyed. Thanks for taking that away from me Midway...

Question:

Would you guys be more accepting of MK Vs DC if it hadn't been hyped to be MK8 for the last year and a bit?

this is the saddest day of my life....

As far as i am concerned MKA was the last Mortal kombat game i will play

same here. im gettin 30 in november.
its really sad what happend with mk.

its all about the $$$$$$$$

midway will be bankrupt very soon.

No, because the first MK game on the next gen systems should NOT be a cross over but a faithful game.

And we know how the last couple faithful games turned out. As long as they use this to learn their way around the new engine, it doesn't bother me if the next MK Title comes out a bit later.

At first i was angry! Then i was jst confused, but now im just gona see how this all plays out. I love MK and was constantly pissed off with the suggestion that it would be doing a Vs game with DC. Now i am big fan of Batman and loving the current films but that does not mean i want Batman throwing his batarangs at Subzero....still the render looks great and dare i say it Batman could fit in. Its the oher characters im worried about...Superman, WW, the Flash???

I guess its time to wait and see the trailer and a few more images. I dont see the obsession with blood and gore for MK, for me its the character and dark nature of the series which needs to be maintained. DC is weird move but there is no doubt that the majority of members at least find the promo pic a positive step forward in terms of look and tone. Lets wait and see guys.

This is some of the worst news I have ever woken up to.

My sig says it all. =/

The problem I'm having is, if Ed Boon knows this isn't what the fans wanted, then why would he do it?

He just ruined the entire fanchise!

This realy is turrning to be one of the most Fup't years .

First I learn about this marvel of human hights
http://pc.ign.com/objects/142/14243740.html

And now I get this sick version of aprils fool joke in form of MK vs DC

As said Batman could fit in, i belive he IS definition of dark and gritty !
But the rest ..... !

Iwas shocked, now im just clueless why ? why ? and WTF ?

Ok ! Lets relax and let go of prejudice and just look at what we got !

New fighting system that changes as situation (close fights, falls ....), sounds intresting I have been thinking on something a like for some time !
But can they pull it of , I dont know BoonNCo doesnt have great rep on that. But they better do !

Graphics, its said UT3, but frankly the char models looked preaty bland to me, and level was far cray from Gears of War, lets hope there is lot more advanced stuff coming, otherwise Midway cant even put "next-gen graphics" on the box.

Last thing if the game is good, they can always do a MK9 on same engine and minor tweaks !

Well one is sure game better be addictive as hell and fun, otherwise its dead !

P.S. Extremist can I use your sig, it expresses my feelings perfectly -> Wtf !

Just hope this game can get a good success like MVC.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that we were lied to and now were stuck with this shit.
