After they went 3d...
I never bought another MK since.

Bring back the "realistic" 2d sprites, CEREALS!

The funniest thing about no fatalities is that the DCU is the place where they were killing/maiming characters left, right, and center there for a while.

Tubatic hit the nail on the head for me. 2Xmeh = do not want

This is like bad fanfiction. Seriously Star Trek vs. Killer Instinct makes about as much sense.

Mortal Kombat pretty much is Midway.

No fatalities means No buy for me, simple as that. next u tellin me theres no blood in the game!!!

They will absolutely without question use John Stewart as Green Lantern. Ucch.

Somebody heard Marvel Vs. Capcom was good and decided to do a cheap knockoff. Move along folks, nothing else to see here.

I'm interested.. need to see more game play footage though

poop

Best idea ever, if the somehow decide to allow fatalities. There are few things in life better than DC comics and Mortal Kombat. Superman, here I come...I can't wait!

Maybe the people at midway couldn't get this stuff out on time for April fools?

Just being optimistic.... ;<

fuck this shit. Call me when Mortal Kombat vs. The Breakfast Club is announced. Or Kombat Kart Racing...

@c0dek:

Sad enough, Midway have already done the Kombat Kart Racing...

Copy/pasting from the other thread because I missed this thread at first and nobody'll probably bother reading the earlier thread now:

I'll say it again. Just... wow. Exactly when did gamers, generally speaking, get to be this fucking jaded? I mean, I know it's kinda been that way for a while now to an extent, but when and why exactly did it become so? It's not like you guys are going to be fucking strapped to a chair and forced to play this or anything, if and when it ever comes out. I, for one, hope this ends up rocking everyones' faces off, fatalities or not, and I refuse to write it off as fail until it is actually shown to be fail. I mean, I can see why people would be hesitant to get all gung ho about this and all, hell I'm going to reserve judgment until I see some gameplay and such myself, but I seriously don't get all these declarations of "OMG epic fail!!11!`!12!!" when it's hardly even out of the fucking gate though. Seriously, at the very least the concept of this is not any more or less retarded than Marvel vs Capcom, and those turned out okay, so why is this getting the bum's rush right off the bat?

And for all of those saying that it's only the fatalities that make MK what it is: Bullshit. Anecdotal evidence: My high school had an UMK3 machine in the cafeteria back in the day, and because the administration were pussies they had the blood and fatalities turned off (which was retarded because the year before that they had a MK2 machine in there with everything enabled, but I digress). Yet, despite this, the UMK3 machine was still always packed, while the other contemporary games there were mostly vacant. The only games that came close to the number of players were NBA Jam TE, Raiden II, and D&D Tower of Doom. Yes, it would have been better if they'd enabled the blood and fatalities, obviously, but many many people still played it regardless, despite the fact that there were other, equally (perhaps even more) viable choices to be had. Honestly, I preferred ToD myself, but I still played more than my fair share of gimped out UMK3 as well.

Also, the thought of Meat or Mokap kicking Superman's or Batman's ass is absolutely ludicrously hilarious to me, as much as would be, say, Aquaman vs Sub-Zero or something. If the game allows for these scenarios, I will be content. Unless the game sucks balls, that is, in which case I won't give a shit.

(And here's my second post from immediately after that)

FWIW though, I'm still just waiting for something like this to become an actual official game and not just a fan-made flash thing.

@Im OK,

Yeah you are right about ppl claiming the baby's dead before is even born but hey, this game has a lot to prove... even more now that the concept is stupid and the selling point is unavailable.

This needs to be better than "Marvel vs Capcom" for a lot of reasons but its very very hard to be better.

I hope is good since I love fighting games but my money is going to Soul Calibur 4 and SF4

makes me wanna break my copy of the old 3D mortal combat movie made before the live-action Crhistopher Lambert-filled movie even came out.

And just for the love of Mr. lambert:

I can't imagine that anyone in the mortal kombat universe could possibly do a ingle thing to superman- I mean seriously, if you want to be accurate to his powers unless they have kryptonite weapons superman could pretty much stand there and do nothing and take no damage and finish them in 1 punch......

How can it be MORTAL kombat without fatalities?
