Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe! Wait… what the hell?!
April 18, 2008What is this? A really late April Fools joke? But hey, you’ve heard it from each and every major comic book and video game news outlet, it’s apparently confirmed. I don’t know if I wanna start dancing the "I finally get to fucking kill Superman" jig or cry like someone just stole my dignity, because it sort of feels like it.
Apparently, according to newsarama, Ed Boon said that the next next installment of Mortal Kombat was going to be more serious. Okay, how is this more serious? Is it because they get to fight super heroes now instead of… each other?
What made Mortal Kombat really unique was the amount of blood and gore that made all those mommies turn their Nintendos and Segas off and curse Midway to hell and back. Would you really believe that DC would let their franchise characters get maimed the way MK characters do in every installement? Well, neither would they.
According to kotaku.com, an informant told them that there would be no fatalities, and little-to-no blood. Okay, what the fuck!? So, in essence, this isn’t a Mortal Kombat game. This is a game with DC and Mortal Kombat characters. Then why not just take any other characters from some other genre with flashy enough characters and dump in along with the DC folks? This title may just kill what we most adored about Mortal Kombat games.
Though, if you look at it from a different perspective, one could be quite excited for it. Because, you know, Batman would have a fatality of throwing a batarang through someone’s face, but oh wait, I. At least, you could make Wonder Woman bleed! But oh, wait, there’s no blood! BAH!
This isn’t so far fetched, though, if you think about it. Hell, Yoda is gonna be in Soul Calibur IV. And before that, Spawn was there, as the Xbox exclusive, if I’m not mistaken.
And that turned out pretty okay. I mean, for the most part.
Besides, I guess this is DC’s and Midway’s way of saying "HAHA! There won’t be any more Marvel VS Capcom games that everyone loved! BWAHAHAHA!!" But really, they’re a few years too late for a cross over like this. Capcom’s already beaten them to it. SNK has already beaten them to it. Namco has already beaten them to it. Their market strategy is "Hey, the product life cycle for crossover games is dead! Let’s release a cross over! Those bastards will never expect it!"
Oh well, here’s to hoping that it’ll be good enough to spend some money on. Oh, and that it gets released for the Wii.

First of all, zOmG did Fatima Camiloza just commented right before me?! *giggles*
Uhrrm! (regains composure)
It’s true that Mortal Kombat won’t be as “mortal” if no one dies at the end of every match. And if I see Batman’s head getting punched off by Scorpion then that’s it, I’m gonna join the commies in Soviet Russia and we’ll form a band which will sing praises to Satan.

You know, I was actually expecting someone to say that, I just didn’t think it’d be you. Batman slash is really damn popular, it seems.
@Steel
Yes, yes she did.
Don’t you already sing praises to Satan in your spare time? And in Soviet Russia Satan praises you.

Well, on a more serious note, I think it’s becoming a trend- this crossover thing. It’s like people are making money off of being really random nowadays.
And wait, *no* fatalities? I already know I’m not going to like playing this.
@steel
In Soviet Russia, praise sings you!
Haha j.k 
IMO the reason why Soul Caliber didn’t bomb despite the cross-over characters is that Soul Caliber is *still* Soul Caliber - they gave Spawn this small ax weapon so that he’d fit in.
now a bloodless Mortal Kombat? wtf? blood *is* MK’s trademark.
i wonder how good (or bad) the fighting system will be…
Posted by arc at April 21, 2008, 6:33 pm@ Fatima > iknowrite. What’s the point of MK if there’s no fatalities?
But the freefall gameplay system sounds nice. And the trailer is awesome, actually.
Posted by Ade at April 21, 2008, 7:54 pm@ Fatima
It’s really obvious that Midway’s just juicing comic book franchices for all they’re worth, but let’s just hope it isn’t so bad. And, yeah, they wouldn’t let Scorpion rip Batman’s spine out, and vice versa.
@arc
You’re absolutely right. It wasn’t a SC vs Spawn, right? It was still SC with an additional character. This is absolutely different.
Hopefully, it’s better than the last MK installment.
Posted by comicology at April 21, 2008, 9:58 pm@comicology
yeah. depending on the platform, SC2 has a different ‘guest’ character. that freefall thing? nothing new. you can see that in God of War II, arguably one of the best games in its genre.
i saw the trailer. maybe it’s just Batman against the entire MK universe. and we all know how that will end - Batman wins.
just because he’s the goddamned Batman.
Posted by arc at April 22, 2008, 1:06 am@arc
Yep, just guests. My favorite’s still Heihachi and Link. Those guys fit in quite well. The new SC will have Vader and frickin’ Yoda. BAH!
And I really think the freefall thing is going to get really old, really quick. Gimmicks in fighting games tend to do that. They should just refine what brings the players, really. Like VF or Tekken.
Posted by comicology at April 22, 2008, 1:53 amthis game is gonna bomb hard…big time….. someone needs 2 rethink this thing through…cus u r gonna have a bunch of pissed off mk fans if they don’t have the blood or fatalities…someone needs 2 make a blood code or fatality code for it….or this will be a game that only lil kids talk about…

And if they do put there a lot of blood and whatnot, they’d damage the DC heroes’ reputation. So, yeah, this is going to be difficult to pull off. Hopefully, they find a balance.
