If it's not the right forum to post this thread, then mods can feel free to move it somewhere more appropriate. Now that I got that out of the way...

This is a game that in strong likelihood will not be made because of licensing issues, but I'd love to see a huge crossover game with MK9's gameplay. You could sort of call this "Guest Kombat" (obviously that wouldn't be the actual title). It could involve the MK series, it could get the most representants, hell it could even be the only franchise mentioned in the title, but the emphasis would be on non-MK characters fighting in MK-style gameplay, with fatalities (including backgrounds-related ones, as in stage fatalities), X-rays and so on.

The characters and franchises represented would largely be M-rated ones of course, R-rated in movies' case, as characters and backgrounds from games/movies/comics etc meant for younger audiences would not get in unless certain developers were willing to pull a Conker, if you know what I mean.

Whether or not there'd be MK characters, there should definitely be MK backgrounds. One thing I like about MK9 is to have Freddy and Kratos fighting in a MK stage and Freddy taking on a MK character in Kratos', so the presence of MK stages in a game like what I'm suggesting would be a way for me to pretend I'm playing a MK game as a guest fighting another one.

There could be a story, but it wouldn't matter as it wouldn't a canon entry for any of the series involved.

So, how would you people feel about such a game? Again, I know it's not too likely, as it would require collaborations between various companies, not just two or sometimes three, but try to forget about that just for a minute. If it could happen, would anyone here besides me approve of the idea?

Sounds like an R rated version of Super Smash Bros.

I'd love to see that, even though I know there is no way in hell it would happen with all the licensing that must go on.

So you mean a horror-sci-fi movie vilains facing each other in the MK arenas? There was once a game called Terrordome available on the net for those who would love to see Michael Myers face Freddy Krueger or Leatherface.

Congrats for your effort but there is nothing there that would convince me that i should try such thing. And based on your post, you would prefer having no MK characters but you wouldn't mind having them? So would it be MK crossover or just R-rated movies crossover?

No, not just Horror/Sci-Fi icons, but various kinds of characters and franchises. Here's a few of my picks for non-MK characters

Alien
Predator
Conker (Conker's Bad Fur Day)
Isaac Clarke (Dead Space)
Alice (American Mcgee's Alice)
Kusaregedo and Earthquake (both from Samurai Showdown)
Tallman (Chzo Mythos)

The idea is to have an MK-style fighting game featuring characters and backgrounds from various franchises, of no particular genres. MK could of course be one of those franchises, but it wouldn't have to, just like they wouldn't have to include say, Robocop or Kratos, even though Robocop would be nice. However I would definitely want MK backgrounds, and I've already explained why.

Not too interested in a horror or rated R characters crossover, but a game featuring my fav characters from:

-SC
-MK
-SF
-KI
-Mace The Dark Age

That type of mix could interest me.

Most game franchises out there are too goody-two-shoes for a game like Mortal Kombat. That's why MK vs DC was laughable.

I can't imagine anything other than Killer Instinct fitting perfectly well.

Leave Hollywood the fuck out of MK. No more horror film horse shit.

Why are some people here acting like I'm suggesting a MK/Horror crossover? I suggested a game that would feature characters and series of various genres, not just horror. Is Conker an horror character? Or Earthquake?

In reply to blacksaibot
How many series other than MK have you followed? There are many games/series just as violent as MK, if not more. Such as Silent Hill, which can be considered darker and more disturbing than MK.

And how many times must I say it? It wouldn't have to feature the MK franchise beyond MK9-like gameplay along with fatalities and X-Rays, plus some backgrounds.

Now, I'm tired of explaining what my idea's about, so if I post again in this thread, I'll be focusing on ideas pertaining to backgrounds, fatalities, character gameplay and so on.
