Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - Page 4

A little *too* Raph · 04-19-2008, 09:51 PM

probably in school... however not too long after that I could be found in the local Hills store waiting in the longest line ever to play the game for about 2 minutes and lose.

I'm skeptical about this game, mainly because the two universes [Mortal Kombt and DC] contrast each other so much, that meshing them together just sounds like a bad idea. I can't see how anyone in the DC Universe could go up against guys who rip arms out of sockets or women who could melt you to the bone with a kiss.

The Marvel vs. Street Fighter combo was so perfectly done. It just seemed like a natural fit. I could list so many fights that would be interesting between the Marvel and Street Fighter universes; the only one that comes to mind for DC and Mortal Kombat are Sub-Zero and Mr. Freeze.

And the fact that they've taken fatalities out just basically means this game has been whored out for a broader target audience. I mean, if you're worried about DC fans getting mad that their favorite characters are given fatalities that are brutal and totally OOC for them, then just give them something a bit cleaner for a finish while the Mortal Kombat characters retain their fatalities. This just sounds like it's gonna be executed with such underwhelming results.

It's just funny how Marvel finds success with games like the X-Men Legends series and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and DC tries to follow suit with Justice League Heroes; Capcom finds success with the many Marvel vs. Capcom-related titles, and now Midway wants to emulate and capitalize off the idea (of course, with DC characters instead). I guess we should've seen this coming, though.

I'm pretty sure this will be better than the only other DC versus fighter ever made, Justice League Task Force (shutters).

OK, what's going on with noob.com?

Yesterday the jumble with the picture of Scorpion was up there and now its the poster for There Will Be Blood?!

www.noob.com

You think this a message to everyone saying that yes infact, "There will be blood"?

A picture of Daniel Day Lewis, and the title of one of his movies. Nice.

It has already been CONFIRMED that while there will be small amounts of impact blood, there won't be any significant gore or fatalities.

Secret page on the website. Expect updates...

Death by bowling pin confirmed.

I wonder if that secret page will slowly start revealing pics of who's in the game. Looks similar to a fighter select screen.

I think it's connect four.

Jo269976 · 04-20-2008, 05:17 PM

I just noticed, highlight the bottom of the poster on www.noob.com

I think an audio of the Jigsaw Killer's "Oh yes, there will be blood" would have been more effective.

Is Superman actually in this game? I mean seriously, Superman? In a fighting game? Are they going to superglue a little krypton pebble to his forehead to balance him or something?

No, Boon explained that since the Mortal Kombat universe is steeped in magic, and that is one of Superman's few weaknesses, it would have an effect on him.

I just realized how surreal it is when you and I post in succession, by the way:

The S
The Shelf
The S
...and so forth.

**GK Punk** · 04-21-2008, 02:09 PM

Supergirl better be in this.

I have no problem with that. I don't even know what a helf is.

Is that a possible Arrested Development reference?

Big info from Destructoid.

Edit: Also not real. I'm going to read everything on Destructoid before posting from now on. F*ck I hate that site.
