Missy Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yup, because you know DC will never allow Batman or Superman to have a Fatality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 It was the best of the 3D ones, but that ain't saying much. I enjoyed it for the utterly broken, though completely silly game that it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Let the record show, I have an account at Mortal Kombat Online for god's sake. I'm a fan of the series, and was hugely interested in the story until they fucked it up around the time of Deception/Shaolin Monks. That said, the series has never had good balanced fighting mechanics. Never. Even Mortal Kombat 2 was broken to shit and all those cool combos made it into the game by accident.

JackFetch Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 When Midway first unveiled Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe last month, word of its T-rating logically led many to assume the usual over-the-top Mortal Kombat violence would be drastically toned down, perhaps even with the elimination of the series-standard "fatality" finishing moves. Well, the assumption was half-right -- in a lengthy interview with GameTap, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon confirmed fatalities would still be in the game, but the level of violence (and what they'll even be called) will likely be altered. "There was never any statement on our part that fatalities will be gone or that finishing moves will be gone," said Boon. "We did acknowledge that we won?t be able to do the same kinds of outrageous moves, like tearing someone's head off and the spine being attached to it. But there are a lot of assumptions that there will be no blood in the game, that there are no fatalities in the game. It's an assumption that, because the DC characters will be in there, those features will have to be dropped. My response is that, no, we're modifying fatalities... The names of these moves, and the level of violence we use, are to be determined. But it's certainly not a feature we plan on eliminating from the series." Boon goes on to say that its Midway's intention to "push the envelope of a T-rated game as far as we can without being an M-rated game," but how far that'll be is hard to say, as there's no black-and-white guideline as to what DC will allow. "It's really a matter of us creating animations in the game and showing them to DC. We'll have Superman or Batman doing these moves and DC will identify certain moves, and we'll go back and forth with them," Boon said. Also worth noting from the interview is Boon's explanation for how the likes of Scorpion or Sub-Zero (or Batman, for that matter) would possibly be able to survive a battle with Superman. "Well, we know the back stories to the characters. For instance, Superman has two weaknesses, Kryptonite and magic," Boon said. "The Mortal Kombat universe is surrounded by magic -- I mean, we have sorcerers, people from the Nether realms; we have chi and magic attacks. So, remember that cataclysmic event which merges the universes? The source of that is magic. When you mix that in, that explains why Superman, who can move a mountain, who can push a planet, is, in this scenario, weakened a bit." http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3167739 There goes my dream of ripping out Aquaman's spine and showing it to him.

annericelover Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm not sure when this comes out, but it looks pretty awesome. The video shows Sub-Zero fighting Batman in MK fashion. http://www.gamespot.com/video/943566/61894...icial-trailer-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 It looks exactly like Armageddon. There's a reason they only show 4 seconds of gameplay in that trailer. EDIT: Uh, that's Ed Boon, bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 *full body shiver* Dubs, we simply MUST do a Tranquil Tirades on MK4 and/or MK Armageddon somewhere down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my Bloodrayne review completely from memory even though I was half-asleep during the showing at the local theatre. Surely, you can remember enough about it to lambast it. :youlose: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
