The above is what I assume will be part of a series of videos called Mortal Mondays. Quite amusing, then, that we got this on Wednesday. Nevertheless, it details some of the plot that will be going on in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Yes, the game still has a plot.

After the jump, we have another video called which shows Sonya vs. Catwoman and The Flash vs. Scorpion. Our very own Nick Chester reckons the game is actually decent, and I must confess that the battles look rather cool -- I'm digging the punch ups that happen as the characters fall to a lower part of the stage.

Time will tell if this game turns out to be better than expected, but I have a little bit of renewed faith, crummy Fatalities aside.

Scorpion broke Flash's arm but he kept fighting...this game seems to be turning out kind of shoddy

is it just me or does it look like most of the basic attacks seem to have little or no impact behind them?

haha did anyone notice when one of the guys said "THE RAGE!!!" he sounded just like a chaos lord from dawn of war when he says that or "The Warp!!" haha i think it may be the same voice actor, or effects...

@hoyt414: Have you played a mortal kombat game since 4? Its the new throws pretty much.


I dunno what you guys are watching. This honestly looks a metric ton better than the other 3d mortal kombats.

Wow, could they say the word "rage" anymore than they are now? This is awful...

Apparently theres something in the game called rage..... :D

I just wish that the characters didnt squat in a comical fart position every time they went into it...

I still find it hard to overcome the sheer awfulness of these MK games. How F*&%ing chunky is that game play. Even the woman are on steroids, er, RAGE. & that game sucked!

- Have I said too much? ….This game is CHUNKY!

Well, it looks like Rage has two advantages.
1: It makes you basic hits harder and faster
2: it also seems to be a parry/cancel for on coming attacks.

Even if you think these are bad, that grapple Captain Marvel has when he yell's SHAZAM is totally awesome.

Am I the only one who thinks this game spells the end of Mortal Kombat?

@Metal Slime: it won't be the end of MK, i think it's going to be a really crap game unless they change a lot of things though, but nevertheless they can always revert to good old fashioned MK next game

I don't know about the rage, but the ghey seems to be heavily influencing this game.

Also, its nice that instead of just throwing a bunch of stupid gimmicks in with no story (Friendships, Babalities, AGGRESSOR, etc.) They at least are trying to give a reason why these rage moments can be triggered. I my book, that's a step in the right direction.

Ain't a fan of either of the franchises but was happy to see an arm break but no visible affect after put me off again... hope the fans like it tho... this is a no no for me

I don't care about you guys but if the game was up with the level of violence of the previous MKs this could easily have been the best. Now I have to wait until I get to play it to be sure whether it's going to have much staying power.

Maybe it's just me, but the rage thing is so lame that it's actually kind of awesome. The combat looks decent; I may give it a shot if reviews aren't terrible.

They should NOT release videos if they want people to buy this piece of shit.

I'm only assuming it's a piece of shit, because every video for the game (except the ill-fated joker fatality that was removed) makes me want to play this less and less... I barely want to even rent it now...

Well I've canceled my preorder. I'll rent it or play a demo if they release one. I'm not forking over the cash for it, if it's as crappy as the ps2 versions as the videos seem to make seem to be. I was really only interested in DC characters, MK has been treading water for a long time.

I'll probably rent it. If only for the trophies.

The more trailers they release, the more and more turned off to the game I am. And I thought it was retarded the moment they announced it.

@ benjaxez Yeah I hope its not the end of MK too. BUT I think if they don't make any money this time around they will think twice before going MK again unless there is something really cool to bring to the table... imagine the extra cash they had to pay for the DC license

@ crunks Maybe this is the April fools joke everyone reported it to be when it was announced.

I've said it before but it bares repeating.

Who the fuck do they have doing the character animations? A blind, crippled ape? They look like shit. It looks like two gumbys fighting. People don't move like that. Ugh.

I'll just wait till someone youtubes all the fatalities and then I'll never have to waste brain power thinking about this game ever again.
