Although that's interesting, I doubt it's real.

A non-violent Mortal Kombat game makes as much sense as an educational Grand Theft Auto game.

It might be a late April Fool's joke.

Well if it is a "late April Fool's joke" its a good one.

www.noob.com

The countdown finished and they're updating the site soon. Theres no other info on a Mortal Kombat vs DC game except rumours.

Video game coming out supposedly.

evillaugh

Ballin'.

Well, there is a Mortal Kombat 8 in development, but Mortal Kombat vs DC is still a rumor.

I wouldnt be surprised if it did happen and I actually like having very little blood. Try to freshen things up, or atleast fallow the Marvel vs Capcom series.

Apparently a shit load of Mortal Kombat fans are pissed about this.

what a sad little bastard

he feels like he got kicked in the nuts...dude names himself Johnny Cage, the nut grabber of the series

its funny he's embarrassed of MK being affiliated with crappy DC comics...doesnt he realize how shitty the MK franchise has become...it couldn't get worse

lol I like his passion though...and he makes a good point about how anal comic book fanboys are lol

The guy is a retard and embarrasment to his parents and MK fans out there.




Anywhoo....I can just picture the fights....

Black Adam vs. Goro

Cheetah vs. that ugly chick with the claws from MK.

Sinestro vs. Raiden.

Zub Zero vs. Mr. Freeze

I want this game.

Not really. Most MK message boards really hate this idea.

characters I want to see from DC:

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter

characters I want to see from MK:

Raiden, Subzero, Scorpion, Goro, Shangsun, liu kang

Well this is probably the weirdest combination of things I've seen in a while. I wonder which DC will get put in.

You know this will lead to many Superman vs Scorpion threads , or Green Lantern vs Jaxx threads. Where the game will be used as evidence.


And I will personally spear heading this new movement hmm

Now Marvel fanboys everywhere can live out the dream of doing fatalities on Superman.

So, MK is moving on to vs comics now because SF kicked their asses?

I thought it was funny that one would be excited for such a lop sided match.

you would definitely have to have blood and fatalities...,that is mortal Kombat. I wouldnt mind having them toned down a bit, but otherwise, from first glance it seems like it would feel like a knock off marvel vs capcom.

that article though, from gamestop, sounds like a lot of fun

Seeing that annoys me. Because then idiots will be spamming the comic forum with matches like Superman vs. Cyrax.

Superman would solo the mortal kombat universe.

oh i found a trailer for it it looks crappy, but i bet it will be fun to play

Black Adam vs Goro is fair?

Ah yes. I heard about this sometime before. Wasn't exactly sure how to respond to it at first though ... but that Sub-zero vs Batman cover still looks awesome regardless.

Well duh.
It might be better/more amusing to see/laugh at than Superman vs the DBZverse though, which I'm sure most of us are pretty sick of by now.

no black adam murders him

Why is no one is thinking about the main issue? Namely, is the game going to be any good? IMO, this is going to suck. Before you all stone me to death, let me finish.

General consensus is that the MK series pretty much died after MK3. As a fighting game franchise, it's never been on par with SF, KOF, Tekken, etc.

So why does anyone think Midway will suddenly get it right?

Marvel vs. Capcom worked, because it was freaking Capcom making the game. Capcom is among the best fighting game guys in history. SNK and Namco are the only companies on the same level as them.

I have a very bad feeling about this game. GOD DAMN IT CAPCOM, MAKE MARVEL VS. DC! OR BETTER YET, MARVEL VS. CAPCOM VS. DC! CAPCOM, DO THIS CONCEPT JUSTICE!!! durhulk

It's Mortal Kombat, Trick. We all know it's going to suck.

Ok, so it's an obvious point. But god damn it, why can't we get a really good fighting game involving DC&Marvel?

Does anybody remember the DC fighting game...i think it was a side view fighting game, i swear i remember fighting darkseid with batman...batkick for the win

I gave up on Mortal kombat after # 2 i think,it never hooked me again

OMFG!!!!! B.A would kill Goro in about 2 seconds.

Seeing this crossover made a grown man want to cry.

Shit. That is exactly what Mortal Komcrap has always been. Great, now I finally get a new fighting game with DC characters and it's produced by a company known for making craptastic fighting engines.

Trick and Val are right. Midway=Teh suckage.

Capcom should have gotten this.... Capcom vs DC would have sold loads of copies and probably have years of success in the fighting game circuit. This is just...wrong.

HELL, I would have been happy with a KOF vs DC from SNK just as well.

SF always had better sales than MK.

Why is everyone hating on MK? MK is ****in' fun man. But this game as we all know is a Marvel vs. Capcom wannabe

Why are there two threads for this game?

The most obvious answer I can think of is that someone in the Comic Book forums made a thread on the game, but it was moved to the Video Games forums.

Unfortunately, the person who moved the thread didn't know that there was an existing Mortal Kombat 8 thread in the video game forums.

Therefore, the following threads need to be merged together:
http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f66/t482179.html
http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f66/t482193.html

cool It's the best solution.

Very much looking forward to this game.

Well, atleast we dont get Mortal Kombat 8 with more blood and 5 new characters.

Not up to par with Street Fighter? Mortal Kombat 2 pretty much surpassed (and possibly out sold) Street Fighter 2 and was the first game to do so. Plus, Midway has kept on making games and has gain quite a popularity since Deadly Alliance (though not up to the level of MK2) while Capcom is just NOW making a new game, which is why I personally think comparing them now is pointless. SNK, while making some good games, also hadn't been able to recapture it's glory it use to have (similar to Midway and Capcom). Fact is, the MK series isn't dead!

So far, the only companies on top now are Namco and Sega.

And I really look forward to seeing this Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game.

Originally posted by Smasandian

I doubt we'd be lucky enough for five. They'd probably just redo everyone to look a lot different and add one new character.

As long as Jax and Johnny Cage are in this game, there's a high chance that I'll play it.

ROFLMAO

deadly alliance was alot of fun as was shaolin monks. I agree, i think it will be balls as far as production and design, but im sure it will be fun enough to play. Although armageddon was balls, it was still a nice nod to the fans.

And I might get it if Liu Kang is in it. Hopefully, Midway won't make the same mistake they did with DA.

Oh and I expect to see Doomsday as a Goro type boss.

What did Midway do with Deadly Alliance?

Yea what was wrong with Deadly alliance

imo It was a good game for that gen of consoles (PS2, X-box, gamecube) and plus midway would've had to do with something or stick with the PS1 graphics (MK4)

this games gonna blow hard...both franchises havent seen a good game since the year of the flood.. OH BUT I'M SURE MIDWAY WILL DELIVER!.. lmfao

Or Ed Boon for that matter.

A developer who has been living on MK2.

I'm not surprised he's still there because MK games make alot of money (even though its the same game, but with added fighting styles!!)

Originally posted by Yoshi Paradise

They killed Liu Kang.

Oh.

Well, at least he came back as a zombie.

Originally posted by Yoshi Paradise

Yeah and the fact that they have it where you can play his regular form too (though I wish they made them separate characters, Ryu and Evil Ryu or Jin and Devil Jin). Also, Ed Boon said that he's gonna be putting the more popular and recognizeable MK characters so I guess Liu Kang fits in that category.

Well, he's pretty much the main character of the franchise.

A Mortal Kombat game without Lui Kang is like a Street Fighter game without Ryu.

it's such a odd combination.

i dunno, mk: armaggedon wasn't very good. hell, people found all kinds of glitches with it. i even made a infinite glitch video on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBwdJbCS0EI

(i'm so shameless) innocent

imo, the last decent mk game was deadly alliance. (although, whenever i hear people complain that the last good mk game was mk2 i just laugh. people who say that tend to suck at the later versions.)

moreover, i heard a rumor there's no more fatalities. wtf!? isn't that mortal kombats' selling point?

it was bad enough that the last game didn't have any signature finishers but, no finishers!? i surely hope that's not true.

the concept is kinda cool and hopefully they kept the create a fighter feature. it's still odd that this is happening.

i can't say as i'm excited but i am anxious to see how it all turns out.

Or a Yoshi game without Yoshi.



Yeah MK:A's lack of signature fatalities pissed me off as well.

I agree with that.

i love this idea. if you really think about it alot of people want a marvel vs capcom 3 witch is basicly sf vs marvel. the way i look at it is mk vs dc is new and fresh and personally i believe alot of the people who ***** and moan about it sucking will go out and buy it and enjoy it. it may seem a bit corny but maybe this can be a whole new thing. the way i look at it is this mk vs dc game may be a game before the actuall mk 8 all i have to say is wait for more info rent it and then give your reviews.

As a so called "Fighting game guru" I believe this will totally work. As long as Midway adds the right characters instead of the very crap and pointless characters, then they will be good. DC however.....I can care less really. The anticipation is just like SF4's anticipation. You will see the average fanboys ***** about a new game even though the game will of course be a success.

And No, MK and SF > All. And I disagree, Deception was pretty much the last decent game that ever came out. Armaggedon left me unhappy. This new game better not blow, that is all I can say.

i luv deception im currently playing it. as for mk vs dc i believe itll do great. the gaming comunity is still fanboyish around marvel vs capcom so i believe mk vs dc will do just as good

I hate how people consider Marvel Vs. Capcom a type of Fighting game series if it is not nothing but a bunch of characters from other series mixed into one game. closedeyes

But yes I agree, Marvel Vs. Capcom is getting overrated thanks to the fanboys but I still own MVC2 for X-Box.

Now that I agree with.

As for the infinite combo glitch you posted on MKA, lol. Nice.

As for there being no fatalities in this MK vs DC game, can't say I'm surprised. For some reason, this just doesn't seem like the type of game that would have fatalities, but that doesn't mean it's gonna suck.
Besides, it would sort of be a little offending to see something like Scorpion killing Superman with his "toasty" fatality.

... yeah. I think it's best they don't have fatalities for this game, but if this were like any other Mortal Kombat game, then I would think otherwise.

I just want to see some more gameplay footage.

The trailer barely showed anything.

Well, as long as the gameplay's alright, I'll be fine with it. As I kinda said, fatalities aren't meant for this sort of game.

Edit: And to those who say Deadly Alliance wasn't a good game because of Liu Kang dying, goes to show ya'll overrate him way too much , even if he is one of the main characters in the series. Personally, I was more irked at how Raiden became ruthless and stuff after his sacrifise against Onaga.

Well, I can't imagine a game with both fatalities and comic book characters.

Instead of fatalities, there might be "super attacks" that can be performed during the matches. Although I doubt that would happen, it would be pretty cool.

Yeah. I agree.

I imagine it will have something like that (for both the DC and MK characters).

--------

And as far as what MK characters will be in it, I doubt it'll have Onaga, sadly. But from the cover, we can already tell it'll have Sub-zero, so I don't see why they wouldn't have Scorpion as well. I just hope they also include Shang Tsung and Johnny Cage.

Tche, as if any Mortal Kombat game is as good as MvC2. SFA, KOF, GG and CvS all are vastly superior fighting game engines compared to MK.

MK is on the same level as DOA, IE: it's not considered a 'great' fighting game series. Lack of depth, lack of creativity, and limited innovation.

There's a reason why most hardcore fighting game players ignore MK, it's because the series isn't a high level fighter.

Mortal Kombat is my all time favorite fighting game, but it's true. MK really isn't known for it's depth... if not for it's gratuitous amounts of violence it probably would never have made it this far.

Meh. I suppose the DC fans flaming MK because of the announcement of this game was inevitable , or maybe the Batman fanboys are just pissed off at seeing Sub-zero kicking his ass (Don't get me wrong though. He's always been my favorite DC superhero in general).

As for the crap about MK's lack of depth and lack of creativity, why some of ya'll even care about that is beyond me. Fighting game series aren't primarily meant or known for that. If you want to see a bunch of depth and creativity, go play an adventure or RPG. Fighting series for the most part, have always been simply for hardcore pummelling action. Mortal Kombat delivers... though I too admit it wouldn't of gotten this far were it not for its ridiculous amount of violence.

I didn't say it was bad because Liu Kang was killed. I like DA, I was just saying that many fans like myself was disappointed with the idea and that just shows how popular he is and thus, shouldn't miss another Mortal Kombat (like Scorpion and Sub-Zero).

And yeah. I doubt any of those 3 will be missing in action in any future MK game (including MK vs DC).

What's funny is that no one who has posted in here is a DC fanboy.



Because some of us actually play fighting games hardcore and like games that require strategy and have depth? I wasn't aware that was a bad thing.

Depends on who you ask.



No actually... that's not true. Fighting games are for the most part so people can get skilled at them and fight each other... and just because it's about "pummeling" someone doesn't mean it can't do so tactfully. If you want a game that offers no actual depth, go play Halo. If you'd take a second to notice, most fighting games are officially reviewed based on the gameplay and the fighting system. Both of which are apart of depth. So, you're incorrect.

And... there we go.

You think that's crazy enough? You got fans actually WANT to see that happen. I've been to so many boards and some fans have been saying some of the most disturbing things I've ever heard. They say stuff like "cool, I get to finally kill Superman" or "cool, I get to finally rip Superman's head off". It's ridiculous and is very unusual behavior.

I really don't understand this sudden urge to kill Superman. It's stupid and pointless.

I agree

don't know how this and Marvel vs Streefighter is any different we all know with the DC vs MK Superman and a few others could take out all the MK characters, And with Marvel vs Streefighter same deal i bet before that came out but hey it all worked out in the end.

It's not, but criticizing something like MK because of lacking something that it's clearly not meant for is still stupid regardless.

Might as well criticize a racing game for not having violence in it.

Never said it couldn't.

Like most fighters, MK games have combo systems and what not, so you can pummel opponents tactfully in them...

Depends on what "depth" you're referring to. You're obviously referring to gameplay depth.
I was only referring to plot/story depth, which fighting games usually lack most.

Heh. Can't really say I'm surprised by those reactions, but yeah. I don't really understand all that either. It is pretty absurd...

Wouldn't be surprised though if most of those people were just Narutards or DBZtards seeking a new way to "prove" that their favorite character can beat Superman. xd

Meh people complain about Mk not changing their formula. Street fighter is the same. Their have been so many street fighter 2 games its enough to make your head hurt. Most fighters never change after their first strike at gold. Guilty Gear, SF, SNK, tekken, and sc are sll victims of this. Just strap on 3 new characters, 4 new areas and charge 60 dollars seems to be the motto of the fighting game industry.

I can't wait. I'm eager with anticipation for this game.

How in the hell is that the most disturbing thing you've ever heard...some people just generally dislike the Superman character, and they'd enjoy ripping out his spine. The point of MK is pretty much killing people in awesome ways. It's supposed to be cool.

Since Superman is one of the many powerful comic book characters, people may find it pleasing to kill him once and for all, even if it's just in a video game.

Even some of the people on KMC would love to rip Superman's spine out of his body since they can't stand their favorite character losing to him in a debate. haermm

Yeah. Same here.

In fact, I think those are the only people wanting to do that (namely the Narutards and DBZtards).

In other words, fanboys in general.

Anyway, does anybody think that this game will have an actual story to it? I can't think of anything that would bring the DC characters and Mortal Kombat characters together.

I think it also has to do with his character in general. Superman is a good book to read in small doses to me but I think most people don't like him because hes so hard to relate too. Hes financially well off, he really doesn't have family issues, he can't be hurt, everyone likes him, and most look up to him. So wheres the conflict. He has the perfect life (which doesn't bode well for a comic book series) Its through trial and tribulations, mistakes, and being the underdog that people love which is why more people tend to gravitate toward Spiderman, Batman, X-men ect.

I really dislike superman and wouldn't mind ripping out his spinal cord. But I don't fall under any of the above categories I just generally hate the character.

I like Superman... It's Batman the one I want to rip his head off

3 was dial-a-combo no brainer gameplay

4 was.. interesting..(not necessarily in a good way)

I loved the idea of having 3 seperate fighting styles.. but what the hells the point if its more dial-a-combo crap again?

people fell in love with its interesting control scheme.. simple play mechanics and over the top violence.. I dunno why they bothered changing it.. though I have to say the best thing that came from MK3 was the run button

its probably gonna be something dumb like "oh noes (insert name of new ruler of outland) has opened a portal into gotham city and ninjas are tearing everyones spinal cords out.. are you a bad enough dude to close the portal?"

and to the 2nd statement.

But Superman is to perfect, nothing can hurt him and he has no real issues to deal with, he's boring and his villains are not inspiring either, his arch foe is a bald man, wow that's really imaginative, all in all Superman is like a god he can't be beat so really what is the point, he can do anything and everything and his villains leave alot to be desired.

I don't think anybody can relate to Goku and look how overrated he is? You're making it seem like there's nothing wrong with Superman but correct if I'm wrong, but I think Superman does have a fear of getting too strong (as his powers had overloaded before).

Also, the only Superman villain you can think of is Lex Luthor? What about Darkseid? Doomsday? Zod? And what do you mean "can't be beat"? You're acting like he's impossible to kill when he's came close to death before (and I think he did die once). Heck, he's not even the strongest or fastest in his universe so I really can't say he's perfect.

And yet, I still don't find this as a good reason to hate him. "I can't relate to him, he's too perfect, that's why I want him dead". It just doesn't cut it for me.

Yeah I only know of brainiac, doomsday and Darksied, but i said main villain, like goblin is Spider-Man and the Joker is Batman.


Superman is just boring and annoying, Goku is great because he has interesting villains, conflicts with himself and strong villains, I hate the DC universe bar from Batman, it fails compered to Marvels universe, but back to the subject Goku has a personality and is interesting unlike Superman, because Goku can be hurt he does die, he does have weaknesses, real ones not fictional like a chunk of rock that glows.

What does Dragon Bull$hit have to do with MK?

Superman has a personality too and I truly don't agree that Goku's villians are more interesting, as there's hardly anything interesting about them. Plus, Goku's only weakness was a tail that he no longer has while Superman has THREE weaknesses: kryptonite, red sun, and magic. Goku lacks an education and a job, all which plays into his personality as he can be a bit childish at times, even though he's an adult. And I sure can't picture someone like that being married. I really don't see who can relate to someone like that. Also, Superman has been in different relationships which I'm also pretty sure people can relate too.

I was really talking about why people hate Superman so much and some say it's because he's too perfect, and not able to relate and I brought up Goku because I don't think ANYBODY can relate to him, yet people overrate him to an extremly high degree.

Gokus whole career has been that of the underdog. Each enemy was always stronger until goku pulled a cat out of the bag. Its rather formulaic when you think about it but hey "how many rocky movies have their been?" As far as the comments on other villians, they usually don't turn out well. Darkseid is a shadow of his former self and Doomsday has been reduced in status. Personally I dont hate Superman and collect his series quite often but I know too many people who can't stand him. I think it has to do with the fact that he represents the golden age (the age in which everything turned out well in the end) that people dont like.

Well the same thing went for Superman. It's not like all of his villains were weaker than he is. I don't quite see Goku as the underdog in his series, it's just that he oftenly underestimated. Also, unlike Superman, Goku doesn't fight the same villain over and over, which if he did, they would not doubt turn out be like how you describe Darkseid or Doomsday. I can see people of the newer generation disliking Superman since he came out long before they were born (and thus, kinda old school) but people to hate him so much to the point that they wanna kill him as soon as they get chance (like this Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game) are crazy.

I just hate Superman, i don't even know if i have a reason, i just found his stories to be dull and boring, and when you arch villain is that of a guy who hates you because you cost him his hair, it says alot about the creativity of it all.


Anyhow back onto the topic of MK8...

Really Superman is dull and boring, mr. I can do anything i want and no one can stop me, i have no troubles in my life and i can do anything i want, everything will be better tomorrow, oh look a thug really super villain material there, really Superman is for people who really don't care for stories or characters.

AM I the only one who saw great potential in the Fighting System of all MK games.

As for Guilty Gear, I give it credit.

IE: it's not considered a 'great' fighting game series. Lack of depth, lack of creativity, and limited innovation.

There's a reason why most hardcore fighting game players ignore MK, it's because the series isn't a high level fighter. Lack of creativity? Have you even played the entire series and looked into the story of it at all??? The characters are probably the most original. Mortal Kombat isp robably one of the best fighting Games ever as it has made a huge impact upon Fighting games and its new level of violence and action. I played the series since the first one and even in 3D I still say its at a very good level.

MK8 is going to be a bad game, it had a wide selection of fighters, i agree with Jacope's last post, fighter wise it has some of the most creative, perhaps Tekken has the most original fighters but MK comes second.

Edit: NO BLOOD, NO FATALITY'S........WTH!!!!!!

I hate Tekken and VF.

Plus, Mortal Kombat also took Gaming to whole new level of gore as well. I mean, the game never loses fanbase and had such fan base for a long time. Last time I checked, it has increased.

I just think MK is the only reason Midway is still alive.

This game is going to be bad, i read the first post and well.....no just no.

I think it will be decent. Bad? No, that is just jumping to conclusions. I mean, as long as DC and Midway have both agreed in terms of creating a game for FANBASE ONLY then to me, MK is fine. As for the game, I will still buy it. For some reason, I might enjoy it. But I also predict being upset as well.

Uh, how are we going to mix both storylines together....dur

You're not quite up to date with Superman, are you? Because he doesn't always fight thugs, as he fought many different supernatural beings (I hope you consider those super villain material). And I don't see how Superman doesn't have any troubles with his life. I mean, he's not perfect. He's got a job, has to save people, and trying to keep his identity a secret. You call that an easy life?

Then why did you just do it?

Anyway, I have a feeling that this game will be similar to Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects.

I wouldn't mind, though.

Mks appeal also has to do with story. Unlike most fighters its stories are intriguing, ranging in a rich history. Most people I know don't care about the storylines for SF, SNK, or Tekken as long as their favorite character are in it. Mk is one of the few fighters where most of the people I know want to know what happened since the previous installment.

That was simply to point out something. I asked you a question and you didn't give me the kind of answer I wanted. I didn't ask you to compare something.
