Would be a good choice for a moderately good selling game. Where did you get this? Link please.

I THINK THATS THE STUPIDEST MOVE THEY COULD EVER MAKE THEY"LL NEVER BUY OUT MORTAL KOMBAT AND IF THEY DO THE GAME WILL NOT BE AS GOOD I MEAN THE GRAPHICS WISE AND SOUND WISE AND ALL

In greco: idiothes. EA has a much much larger access for development. MKD graphics are less than good, average at best, but has a good design. It would only improve. Midway is a very small company, EA could do so much more out of MK.

THE OTHER THINGS THAT MAKES THIS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES THAT MIDWAY HAS COME OUT WITH IN AWILE

From all the crap, definitely the best selling crap.

AND IF THEY DO BUY THEM OUT I AINT BUY'N IT CUZ IT AINT WORTH CRAP THE GAME WILL BE RUINED FOREVER

Becouse you already decided it. Raving fanboys like theese annoy me the most. You don't even know basics, and you already announce that it will suck. Care to back your argument up with an actual REASON?

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT DUM THAT THEY WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT IT

First of all. Try to live without being dependant on MK. Second, learn basic english grammar. Third why would it be dumb? If EA wants to make profit, he would probably buy it. Thats how they make money. And money is more important to them than the infantile opinion-wannabe conflict of one
person.

Having thought about this somewhat, it could work. The thing is they'd need to keep Boon and Vogel on the team. They could then make up a totally new development team to work on the game engine and the rest and they could actually make something somewhat decent for the fans. If they get Tobias back too, then we'll see magic.

Once you read that again, it sounds like a contradiction to itself.

ROFLMFAO tonguetonguetonguetongue Very nice, but you were just waiting for a moment to use it.

I think the whole story is rubbish. First, Midway is trying to go PRIVATE, with Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone buying more and more shares. Second, your story has no proof, no link, no substance or sustenance. Just full of hot air.

I think EA could take the series in a better direction, personally. Midway seems to lack any real "professionalism" or have a clear vision for the future and I think it ultimately hurts the series. I'd like to see a more capable company take over the series.

Not saying I believe the BS in the first post, however...
From looking at EA's games, I would expect an MK game from them to be more on the serious side and not funny.


I would like that


Game play wise, I think it would be about the same quality because the fighting games I've played from EA aren't that great either.


I think the characters would look more realistic with EA too.

EA basket ball game NBA Y2K6

Fight night R3

They are scanning people with lasers to make the characters look photo real.

If EA buys the franchise, the whole team will probably be under their wing. And while I can't stand EA because of it's single minded Corperate desgin, with the MK is now, it can only help. They might very well step in and do what they did with Burnout 3. EA brought that series high up in the crowd. However, this is one thing that I wouldn't be too upset if it happened, unlike the whole Half-Life publishing deal.

U never know, if this does turn out to be true, it could turn out to be a wise move, think about what EA did with the Burnout series, and the LOTR series (Forgiving The Third Age)
SO, even if this is true, it may not be all bad, we may just have to get used to seeing the EA logo instead of Midway...

they way i see it , mortal kombat will never die.. even if midway falls on its ass. another company will pick it up (turok)

and besides i hope EA take over, that would be wicked.
Mortal Kombat will finally be the complete product it deserves to be.

Im not saying midway is doing a bad job... but it could be oh so much better.

Quoted for truth. But I think the news is bullshit. Gamasutra has said nothing about it, and they're pretty up on EA, since they are anti EA, lol. Though, EA should be buying Ubisoft pretty soon sad.

This probably isn't true because this is the first time i've seen this and secondly there is no link to it. Other ppl have asked for it, it should have been here by now.

It could be a great move. Look at Burnout 3 compared to Burnout 2.
The game could be improved in many areas.

I'm just worried that if it did happen the comedy associated with MK could dissappear.
