Seeing how this game is a crossover into the comic book world I thought it would be interesting for the storymode to have been told in comic book format with voice acting, think Max Payne. This would have saved alot of memory to the game and included more of our favorite characters.

It would have been very fitting too considering DC is a comic book company. Imagine if Frank Miller or Alan Moore wrote the story for MK vs, DC and collaborated with John Tobias? That would sweet.

I can't even imagine Alan Moore writing the story for this game.


And Frank Miller....well, if you've read any of All-Star Batman & Robin, Frank Miller's kind of lost his mind. I suppose it would be funny, if nothing else.
You'd end up with Scorpion blurting out "I'm goddamn Scorpion! Now get over here, god dammit!"
Or Sub-Zero & Kitana stopping to have sex in the middle of a battle...
"We keep our masks on. It's better that way."

Actually, you know what....Frank Miler should write MK vs. DC. It would be epic.

Silly rabbit. We're into the double digits now, so as people probably should've expected, something resembling a purpose to everything is emerging.

I have no idea what the original post is referring to, though.
You mean hand drawn panels with voice overs?... Eww!

The narrations should be voiced over too, by that typical comic narrator voice:

Panel 1: "It was a typical day in Outworld. Everyone was happy killing each other."
Panel 2: "Suddenly..."

That would be interesting to see something like this to progress it forward smoother, but I think it would be good if there's interaction after each scene.

If that's what MK cinematics were like, we'd be back to the good ol' days of Digitized Actors. I'd love to see John Turk reprise his role as Sub-Zero in a photographed comic.

Yeah that pretty much is what I was thinking... sad

The idea seems very fitting for a game like this. The story could have played out like a cyber comic, think of the visual style like that of Twisted Metal 2 with the narration told like Max Payne.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked the anti-Deathstroke. But wasn't that Joe Kelly's writing?

Anyways, comic panels don't really appeal to me. In somethingless technically adept, like TM2 (Which is over a decade old),, Comix Zone (A rather cool brawler for the Genesis), or even a more contemporary game like Max Payne, they're fine, but they strike me as something of a cop-out in modern games.

Granted, Midway's all about copouts, but I can't really see what they'd do to add to the experience of the game.

I guess, to be fair, for MK it'd be an incremental step up from the two/three panel endings, but otherwise... Pretty low rent. What ever happened to the promise of FMVs for every man, woman, and child?

This generation is full of rubes!
