"[Baraka and Deathstroke] are the only two characters that we know of that have weapon and stance options, not unlike what was introduced with Mortal Kombat 4, then later explored in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance."

Hm. Command activated stances like in Tekken, Virtua Fighter, etc?

"Jax will finish you off with his sub-machine gun, [which is] noticeably bloodless."

Gah. Trust Midway to give my favourite character the shittiest fatality in the game.

"The entirety of the plot should be considered off-canon. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is a standalone entry..."

Ah! Thank Christ.

"And speaking of Elseworlds, Boon brought up, when we asked about alternate costumes, that they're trying to secure some of those alternate reality outfits for the DC side. We should just expect palette swaps for now, Boon said."

Woot. I'm just glad we have alternates period.


All in all... kind of relieving/interesting news to help assuage the general aesthetic disappointment. I just hope they spend as much time competitively playtesting the game to ensure that it works properly as they do working on this single player shit that nobody is going to care about after they play through it in four days or whatever.

Nice stuff.

It really sounds like they're up for DLC so that's good. This was a very positive preview, even more positive than the Gamespot one which is surprising since I find Kotaku more... Pessimistic. I can't wait to see how it all comes together

Goooood. Goood.

From KOTAKU:

...we got a peek at the spectacular single-player story mode

The story mode really sounds amazing. Everything we read about it sounds FANTASTIC!!! I cant wait to see how the mode plays out.

a look at the new Combo Challenge feature

The way they described this sounded like a lot of fun!

and serious eyes-on with Sonya Blade's in-game model, thanks to the included model viewer.

LOL! The pervs!

Anyways, this sounds awesome!!! I've been dying to have something like this ever since MKDA because it truly allows you to appreciate the work and art of MK. It would be glorious if a similar thing for arenas was also included, not just the characters.

Good to see them giving Sonya more light.

Catwoman will break necks with her whip and Jax will finish you off with his sub-machine gun, both of which are noticeably bloodless.

Well, we obviously have to see them to judge, but so far, Catwoman's sounds very very cool while Jax's and Kitana's sound boring. And Joker's news about his fatality being censored sucks.

Cool new pictures btw. Baraka and Deathstroke look fantastic.
