I really don't know if I can trust kotaku, as they could be lying or misinformed because two days ago, I found this:

Now I hear that they're going to appear on X-Play (I think in today's episode) with the final build.
So why are we only getting the Joker fatality issue from Kotaku and not from Midway themselves? We can only hope that they address this issue at X-Play.
Here's a trailer showing a few plot details:
Looks really interesting.
I always thought Joystiq was a reliable source because that's where I mostly find info on gaming news (that and G4).
I can only pray that this game won't suck. After playing Armageddon, I kept thinking that future MK games would suck just like it.
Let's face it, Midway is gonna go out of business. Hopefully when they do go out of business, some other videogame company will take the MK franchise and make it better than before. Maybe Namco could do it because they make interesting fighting games.

Okay, you're going a little too far. How can you say Midway is gonna go out of business? You don't know that. And absolutely NO WAY a Japanese company will take over it. Definitely, because that's just wrong. And MK is an interesting.
Really, stop with the hating because it's getting freakin ridiculous! If you're gonna buy the game then stop crying about the company that's making it man! You wouldn't even get the game at all if it wasn't for them.
eh. Mortal Kombat is American and should be held by an American Company. thats that. i honestly wouldnt want no part of whatever abortion of a game would spawn from its ownership from another company. as it is im frustrated with Street fighter, DOA is limited. what would they do? Reboot the whole damn thing? add their own lil japanese humor or crap. **** that. its ours. and Midway just needs to figure itself out. the old ways arnt working and their trying to do something with them selves. i swear. before i would hear nothing but bitching they took to long coming out with MK4. then after i herd nothing but bitching about the game.
the Fighting in this game seems much smoother. i like it. if anything its a good sign for things to come for mortal kombat games. they can only try to improve whats done in this game and without the restrictions placed upon them this time around.
i think at this point all bitching about rating and such should just stop until you play the game. if it makes ALL THAT MUCH DIFFERENENCE then after the fact share your opinion. if for you the whole point, the whole pay-off of this game would be to rip Supermans skull out his ass and you feel cheated despite any good gamplay, story or w/e this game might have to offer. then fine. by all means complain. but freakin wait.
we ALL know of it. ALL already thought of it. sooo for now think of something else to say. there is more to the game than that after all.
Midway or ESRB or whatever blocked the scene with Joker shooting someone in the head. I'm pretty sure most people have been looking forward to the game because of that.
Smashbro, you need to take a chill pill. You keep being acting all hyper whenever I say I think this game might suck. I understand. You're thinking "No, it can't be true! This game can't suck!" and I know how you feel dude. One time someone told me that Fable 2 would suck and I was hopin that wasn't true so I acted hyper around the guy tellin him that it wouldn't suck (fortunately I was right).
Look, people have been saying that Midway is almost getting bankrupt and they're trying to make an awesome game to prevent that but this "awesome game" is another installment of the highly bloody goriest franchise we come to know and like. Unfortunately, the new MK game isn't as gory as fans had hoped but instead it's trying to get nearly unviolent as possible and how is this gonna save Midway from being bankrupt? MK is all about killing people in weird ways, not just doing a few punches and kicks. There's probably more MK fans than there is DC fans.
Just to stop the madness, Midway should probably make two versions of the game. Version one can be rated T and version two can be rated M so that this game be fun for both kids and grown ups.
MK isn't about killing people in weird ways. Where did you come up with that? They do more than just work on Fatalities. They obviously try to improve gameplay as well and this games definitely shows it. Heck, according to people who have actually played it, it plays quite well.
In case you don't know, many people are more concerned about the gameplay than the blood and gore.
Originally posted by Nemesis XWhy do you think a game can't be good with out blood and gore? Most people who are not retards care more about the gameplay than how much blood comes out of the person you punch.

We get it, no game is good for a 12 year old unless it has an abundance of blood, just stop crying about it.

the games looks good and if it is good. it shows that they can actually make a good fighting game instead of that clunky gore fest from last time. Good gamplay is better then any amount of blood in a game

Blocking the Joker's fatality is gay. Like I said before, Midway fatalitied itself.

So, are you saying that the game will suck just because some fatalities were altered?
You do realize that fatalities are just optional moves that can be performed at the end of fights, right? If you don't like the brutalities and altered fatalities, then don't perform them. It's as simple as that.
Also, "fatalitied" isn't a word.

That's very doubtful. DC comics have been around much longer than the Mortal Kombat games, and I'm sure that the members of the Comic book forums would agree with me.

They would be wasting their time doing that. It isn't required for this game to have high amounts of blood and gore, so stop complaining about it. Do you have a fetish for seeing that kind of stuff?
You already said that you was going to get the game, so why are you still ranting about the rating?
