I support this one



And this one too.



I'll second this one as well.

============

Great job on catching that first posted question out there EagleClaw and MKFLegend.

Did that on purpose, just so we can have a realtime example of how this thread will work.

@dan,

Your question has been addressed twice by the MkTeam. Once in the Ed Boon interview with ]{ombat, and once in the 1st, 2nd and or 3rd MKast. I remember vividly, because I wrote a bunch of stuff out of appreciation for them addressing the issue.

The answer is simply that they will consider them if nessassary, but would rather go in trying to release a game that has minimal need for patches. Boon said : "It's not out of the question".

That's about as much as we can get for an answer from them right now man. I know how ya feel though, cuz it wasn't exactly a straight forward answer.

What direction will Mortal Kombat be heading in after MK vs. DCU?

Attention!

Every now and then, I will use a post like this, to try and answer the questions that seem like common sense, or that have been answered already so:





They said they will not answer stuff that blatant this early in the 4th MKast.



1. Too early to tell. Special Moves & Fatalities are what they're working on right now.

2. Ditto #1.

3. This is a T rated game. It's not gonna happen..as much as I agree with you.

4. Too early to tell.



Sry, but Nope. Boon answers this in ]{ombats interview.



Yes, we already have a couple of them back in there.

Remember, this is a game about "iconic" stuff from each franchise.



Don't be so vile will ya? Keep it civil and your concern will be more likely to be shared by other users, and addressed by the MKTeam.

As a matter of fact, they addressed this in the 4th MKast (I think it was the 4th).



Yes, we just have to wait on it. Personally, I am enjoying the entertainment.

Patience is your best friend.



"Not out of the question for future games, but not in MkvsDC".



I think this answer is somewhere in on of the E3 Boon interviews. Something to the notion of "probably not" or something.

I'd recheck MKF. But I'm pretty sure we got this answer from an interview. Gamespot would probably be the best place to start, cuz they have the most stuff collectively speaking.



Mortal Kombat 9 Mentioned at Comic-Con!(NewsLead in the Future forum)

=================================

That's all for the first page.

Also everyone, since this thread is doing well, keep your eye on the top of this forums main page. It may become a temporary stickie.

I'm gonna go ahead and start the thread over on the MIDWAY boards. See you here, and or there!

Will there be a normal arcade mode, with character specific endings?

Can we expect any kind of Reversal, (MKDA) Breaker, (MKD-MKA) or Parry, (MKA) System. To go along with the block button? I see WakeUp's (MKA), are back again.

Question: Will the game support custom soundtracks?

YES: The kind where the music becomes directly part of the game-- such as each level having its own custom music-- the select screen having its own custom music-- maybe even giving the fatalities its own music-- etc...

NO: Not the kind where one song will play through the background the entire time you are playing the game. The song won't change unless the entire song is played and finished-- and will even continue during the loading.

Since the XBox has had In-Game XMB for a while, and the new PS3 firmware gave the Sony owners a chance at custom music-- I think this feature would be a great addition, especially to the fighting game genres where I would love to blast some metal and kick some MK/DC ass.

Will we be seeing any new fatalities soon?

Thanks for the kudos Pred.

Dan, You are right and I didn't mean for your question to get taken down. I totally agree with what you had to say in another thread about "its not that they don't test their games, but don't know how to test them" They won't listen to their true fans. That's why I lost faith in this series a long time ago.



This may only answer part of that question but if you scroll down to the bottom of the first post of this thread:

http://forums.midway.com/mortal_kombat_vs_dc_universe/b10806/28858534/p1/?33

and go to Recent Q and A with Ed Boon, you will see that he gets asked something along the lines of this question.


I don't want to quote everyones question that has been posted on here that has been answered in the link I put up, but I believe some of the answers you guys seek are there. You can rely on this thread providing accurate info as it has been stickied and edited by a moderator.


Some new info (at least to me) I got from that link is:

The game build that was tested showed a beaten and bloody Superman, but “Lead Character Artist” Luis Mangubat admitted that the build had not been approved by DC yet. MK character damage levels will go far beyond DC’s, with Sub-Zero’s and Scorpion’s mask being able to be shattered as an example.


The Boss of the game will be two characters merged together from an MK and DC character.


They go into pretty good detail of the character builds, they seem very proud of it. Every material in the game was built to act independently from everything else. They have different properties for each material used, such as, leather, satin, skin, metal, plastic; each one with it’s own defined weight and light reflective property. (I'm not exactly sure what the poster meant about defined weight)

im new to posting but i have one question. it really doesnt concern the game to much but i am wondering what hints is boon talking about that we havent discovered. but to be more specific, im interested in the one that have been already answered such as TOBIAS. what has been a hint that went under the radar that we havent discovered in time. thats all thanks.

Simple, and to the point. I'll support this one.



Very good question. I'm running with this one too.



Simple, and to the point. I'll support this one too.

======================

Well, we have 12 questions up right now. Hopefully we can get some more really good ones in there. We need the simple ones that are not too intrusive, but to even it out, we also need some thoughtful questions too.

Best time to show them that we're not all "blood" infatuated is a situation like this. Great job overall everyone...

KEEP 'EM COMIN'!!

Will you be able to side step attacks?

Will only scorpions mask be breakable?...bc sub zeros has never been shown detached.

Uhhh... Chief?

haha i meant in mk vs dc...he has not been shown maskless...even though he has been shown after he has taken a lot of damage.

Heres the questions that I really want answered.

In general, how many "normal" moves can we expect to have for each character? Will it be more per character than in one of the more recent MK's?


Will you be bringing back past MK stages based on how popular and/or how wanted they are by the community, or how will it work? Can we expect to see any new MK stages?

Apparently instead of his mask breaking, the lower portions of his chest is exposed throughout the course of battle. Just a hint of areola, nothing too saucy. And yes, they're blue.

I think it's safe to assume destructable masks will be a standard, but I suppose it's a good question. I'd be interested to know if the same technology being used for destroying clothes and accessories might be used for arenas.

I don't know if this one has been asked or not but..

How are you going to explain Captain Marvel in the game? Does he have any weaknesses the MK characters can exploit?

Will there be more than one fatality/brutality to a character?

What's up with Wonder Woman?

Will she be in the game?

Reptile is a highly anticipated character wanted by many fans, and is largely iconic. People all around want him in the game. What is his current status/chances of getting in?

On the topic of Reptile, his costume. Many fans want his ninja suit, and some want his reptilian/MKSM suit. In MK4 he had an alt where he wore the ninja suit, and had the scaly, reptilian skin beneath. Sort of like MKSM, only he didn't look like a bandit. Could we possible expect something like this to make it into the game, playable or not? It looked like this:

Few more questions I have:

1. Repost, cuz I think it'd be really cool:

Will there be "living" arenas? Talking about "things" creeping around in the arenas during a fight. (the graveyard, hell, living forest...Supermans fortress with the faces of his father and all that) Seems appropriate with what the UnReal Engine has shown us it is capable of. Arenas//Worlds should be secondary "characters" in the game to compliment all the action.

2. Alot of people interpret Jax as a "quota"//"token black guy"//ect character. So,

a.) [Question] - Will Jax be interpreted as a more realistic soldier this time? Hector said he was in the air force or something like that. He should know what a soldier is about.

b.) [Comment] - MKTeam, the stereotypes and bad voice overs are killing that character.

Don't want a "black" character. But rather, a GREAT character, that happens to be a black person. I prefer Kai now because of these things. I'm black btw, if that says anything..heh.


3. Any footage of the story mode(s) coming soon?

a.) +^^Actually, when described, why does it seem as if we will not have more control over the story mode? For instance, why does it seem like we will not be able to choose who we want to, and take them from beginning to the end? Doesn't have to change the outcome does it? That is, if it's anything like an Open-World or Role Playing Game(RpG).


@ Tobias:

4. What's your take of the initial shock created by MkvsDC?

5. Do you currently, or have you ever gotten on any of the forums to see some of the threads concerning your possible return? What do you think of what you read?

6. Can you speak on what "dark & gritty" means to you? Just want like a vague opinionated description or something as co-creator of Mortal Kombat. Not trying to get you "in trouble" or anything.

==========

That's all for now.

What about the marketing for the game....Will we see action figures and/or statues/ busts?

I support this

[Edited] Will the other characters that didn't make the game, like those not so iconic have an impact on the game or be mentioned in some way? Like in the bios or endings of the characters in the game?

For example, let's say Kitana is in the game but will Sindel being her mother and not being in the game be mentioned, acknowledged or have any effect on the actual game?

====================================================

I support this also.

Will "Endings" be FMV or at least cut scenes movies?
