1. It will be a crossover. I was hoping this wouldn't happen, but it did.
2. It will be rated T for Teen. Less gore, etc.
3. NO MORE F-ING FATALITIES. Due to the T rating and the fact that it has superheroes, no more blood, no more gore, no more fatalities.

Good bye, Mortal Kombat. We will miss you.

Still very defencive you mk fans are.
The guy is just pointing out that it will inevitably be a toned down version of MK, ontop of being a gimmick crossover.

Boon already seems to have alluded to the fact that they are making changes with the gore, and it is rated T.

So it does seem to me that they've taken one of the few things that made the game worthwhile out of it.
Because, without the over the top cartoony gore, whats MK have going for it?
Superior gameplay? tongue

Man, the whole no Fatalities and T rating is the last thing on my mind when I think about why I hate the idea of this game.
My reason is story. One thing we all love about MK is its story and this is just such a joke to the whole MK mythos.
Ee were promised that the new game would have only a hand full of survivors from Armageddon and the rest of the cast would be new,
and now, or for right now tha tis all down the drain.

Major props. My same reason is story as well. Unless this game will be considered noncanon or a spin-off the MK story is jacked and that is where all this downfall of MK is. And to add salt to the wounds, making this T and getting rid of fatalities, the very things that make MK, MK. We'll see though.

Well it isn't all down the drain...

They are going to have 10 MK characters (probably the survivors of Armageddon) and 10 DC characters being the NEW characters...

lol...so they didn't lie...:)

Oh wow, so a little change will ruin the entire series forever. Boo hoo, boo hoo... Seriously, overreacting about something that's not even out yet is just utter bullshit.

Yeah so what if it's a crossover. We all wanted a change in MK and here we have THE CHANGE!

Quit whining about something so silly of a game and go back chewing bubblegum out on the front porch and drinking Hi-C punch with your friends.

There's no crying in baseball.

Give things a chance instead of judging a book by its cover and just see what its like. Then after the release, complain all that you want.

The gore will be there it just won't be so over the top and fatalities have sucked since MK3 so I say good riddance. They have also done something with this title they should have done when Tobias left and thats hire a fucking writer.

to all the people who whined about me stating my opinion:

You're all full of shit. If you didn't want to hear "whining" all over again then why did you open up this thread? All I did was state my FUCKING opinion and then like ten people jump on me. Can't you just accept my view on the topic? Just accept it and move on? Sad, really, that I can't state my opinion on anything without fifty people calling me a retard.

And SO WHAT if I'm whining? I have every fucking right to whine about this topic! I'm upset that they chose men running around in spandex to be in the game, and not new and exciting characters, and that they took out the main icon of MK: FATALITIES! So if you want to bitch and whine about my opinion, then just screw off and do something else with your life.

Seriously, people!

I don't understand why people think MK vs DC 'is' MK8 anyway. Marvel vs Capcom was never labelled Street Fighter 4. It's just a crossover, a side project. At least as far as I can see. I mean, unless anybody has any quotes from Boon where he actually states that this IS MK8, I see no reason to assume it is.

"Every console generation, we like to wipe the slate clean with Mortal Kombat," Boon said. "With this generation we're starting new with both our fighting engine and, as you can see, our story mode."


That enough for you? That pretty much confirms that MK vs. DC IS MK8, with the story tying into MKA.

I agree that the story is what's going to have this game ruin MK. MK needs to find a way to dig itself out of the grave it's dug itself with MKA, and a stupid gimmick like a crossover isn't going to do that. Plus, with most crossovers, the emphasis is put on the franchises that's being crossed over; Marvel vs. was more about the Marvel characters than the Street Fighter or Capcom characters. GI Joe and Transformers, GI Joe was the main focus. With MK vs. DC, the DC characters are likely going to steal the spotlight from the MK ones. Plus, crossovers only work when they're considered non-canon, with no relevance or impact on either of the two franchise's individual continuities; that's not happening with MK vs. DC, which means any story they come up with to try and justify the crossover will sound contrived and retarded.

So much, Negativity on this Forum, It's just annoying.

Even if this was an all MK game i bet you would all still find something to complain about.

Atleast it's not MK vs Disney or something stupid like that :p

Erm... How? Something about a story mode, and a new engine... No mention of Mortal Kombat 8 or game continuity there. And how recent is that quote?

Shibata your right. This is not the MK8 its just a crossover game. On G4 they were saying a new fighting game has been announced by Midway. It said that it will feature MK characters and DC characters, so obviously the title is MK vs DC universe.

And for this to ruin Mortal Kombat, No, its just a wacky crossover game that really doesn't count toward any story because how can you keep this cannon.
Its MK8, get over it. Watch the interviews. He says it is.

I don't understand you people...first you are complaining that mortal kombat is getting stale and you want something new. Now you've got something new and you are still whining!

If you ask me this is a one off thing to boost the mk teams profits for the game afterwards which will most likely be canon.

Besides I see a new idea for Shao Kahn. He's after Gothem city now.

The fact that it is going to be rated T and only is enough.
Bye bye intense violence, rich blood, gore, decapitations and hot women outfits, like Mileena's MKD alt costume. sad

ESRB ratings

I bet the next MK is aiming for an EC rating.
