Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: More fatalities revealed

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: More fatalities revealed photo
     Xbox 360

Midway has revealed some brand new Fatalities for its upcoming franchise milker, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. This week, Sonya Blade, Catwoman and Sub Zero each get their chance to dish out the pain, while remembering to keep things as blood-free as possible.

These particular Fatalities are a little dull, to be honest. It really is a shame that DC won't let Midway go all out with these, because I'd personally like to see more than necks being broken and ice people getting shattered. Midway is capable of greater sadism, especially with characters like Catwoman thrown into the mix.

Anyway, hit the jump for the video. Not suitable for children and all that bollocks.

Subzero is still a badass, even in a T-Rated pile of crap.

Hold on, hold on;

It's not crap because it's Teen, it's a MORTAL KOMBAT thats rated Teen!

Why not make a Teen Metal Gear or a Teen Gears of War or Teen God of War???

I might be wrong, but damn! Talk about "meh".

And yet again the mortal kombat franchise has decided to dissapoint its loyal fans with not keeping to its roots. Blood and gore, Its what the people want.

Wow. I think that they're desperately trying to redefine the word "lame". Of course, we all know that they're wimping out for the sole purpose of avoiding as much controversy as possible.

Cowards.

I thought they weren't allowing any death? Spine and neck breaking is okay, then? Anyway, it wasn't anything too special, but- OOH BREASTS I LIKE BREASTS.

That was pathetic. Seriously, is it too much to ask for them to include Johnny Cage beating someone to death with their own arms? Now that is a fatality. Not just a neck-snap or bloodless freeze-smash deal. C'mon Midway, give us something to talk about!

Subbies was... all right. Catwoman's was just bloody awful. Superman's (Not shown) was the only pretty cool 'Heroic Brutality' I've yet to see.

Still, I will buy this game.

Man, this game is going to be gay. I mean, how can a game rated less than Mature be any good? I only play Mortal Kombat games for the Fatalities. I usually have a friend play most of the match, and then, at the end, I hop in and do a Fatality. It's hella fun. I also only play Gears of War for the chainsaw kills and Fallout 3 for the critical headshots. You know, where the head goes KAPLOW! I can find no value from this game, solely based on the fact that the game isn't as gory as it was in the past. In short, I'm an idiot.

SARCASM!

If it was Marvel vs. MK, Wolverine would be cutting people, Hulk would crush people, Gambit would charge someone up till the exploded...REAL fatalities.

Agreed these fatalities are kind of lame. But I don't necessarily agree that the game is. Anyone who's actually played it will tell you they were pleasantly surprised. That's not to say it's going to replace your favorite competitive fighter, but you should check your expectations. And those expectation should be "I expect games to be fun."

That video was laughably bad. Mortal Kombat has never even been a "good" game. The reason why everybody (myself included) was the retardedly gruesome action. Even the old ones seem tame by today's new standards, but the Teen direction will NOT bode well for the series.

Wow, that was weak as hell. SFIV's ultra combos are waaaaay more brutal than these so-called "fatalities".

There are way too many good fighting games coming out to waste time on this fake-ass MK.

I'm going to play MK2 now; the last MK game that had actual technique AND fatalities.

I thought Sub-Zero's was pretty cool. They could have came up with some better shit for Sonya and Catwoman, though.I'm not going to bitch and moan about this game being T-rated though cause I know it's not like they want it to be so much as it most likely has to be with the inclusion of the DC heroes.As cool (and technically right) as it would be to have Superman pull someone's arm off and proceed to pummel them with it, it's just not happening.
