For me, I think downloadable content is entirely possible. For a company like Midway, it may be slightly harder for them to achieve it than say a bigger company. In the end, I always thought we would be more likely to see stages than characters.

Characters would be an awesome bonus tho, and would definatley breathe new life into the game. If they were to release, say, two from each side, I would love to see:

MK: Johnny Cage, Reptile

DC: Lobo, Black Adam (Lobo would fit MK perfectly)

Pros: is that the customers are more satisfied.
Cons: this might lead to less profits since they want to include these characters in next MK.

I'd want to see more alternate outfits. Especially Dark Knight costumes for Batman and Joker.
I kinda wish I could import my kreate-a-fighter into this game too. Not the mode or anything, just the fighter. I made some cool characters for MKA(who didn't?). Jason Voorhees was the coolest one. It's highly unlikely though...I thinkconfused

I definitely feel DLC is possible and a must for this game. I would pay good money for Reptile, Black Adam, Kung Lao, and Martian Manhunter. Alternate costumes would be sick also, as would new stages. My only concern is that the more time they spend making DLC, the longer it would take for MK9 to come out. But other than that I definitely want to see DLC.

Well since most characters will no longer exist in the next MK we can remove that cons. Besides that they had Bo' Rai-Cho in both MKDA and MKD. I'd really like to see Fujin, Kintaro or Brainiac as DLC characters.

As anxious as I am for the next REAL MK game, I hope they spend A LOT of time on it, i.e. more than 2 years. I want to be wowed. Blown away.
Downloadable content would be great for this game... more fighters, more arenas, alternate costumes, etc... but frankly I would prefer the MK team to focus more on MK9. This series needs to be reinvented, and the new unreal engine is the catalyst it needs.
I'd rather see a though-out, graphically gorgeous, perfect Mortal Kombat game rather than trying to appease the fans for this non-canon test drive labeled as MK8.
Please, Boon... focus less on the additives of MK8 and more on MK9.
Rant ended. Goodnight everyone. grin

Adam West Style costume for batman!

I wouldn't want to see new characters introduced with content. I don't think it would happen anyway due too adding the content for online play (renders, wire-frames, fighting styles, moves, extra)

The roster has been completed. Just keep your fingers crossed for you favourite characters in the next game.

They're probably giving MK8 one alot of focut right now since it is aiming for a broader audience witch means of course more money. This is bringing together two fanbases together.

I'd like to see a team option. That's one of the things MKA lacked. 60+ characters and no team battle. Soul Caliber 2 had a mode where you can play as up to 8 characters on each team.
As for the characters, we may see more than one MK vs DC. If your character doesn't make this one...maybe the next. My guess is that Quan Chi and Doomsday would be contenders for end bosses.

First and foremost, Jack Burton agrees that time is a must for the next canon MK game...

What I disagree with is this notion that this MK vs. DC game is MK8; THAT IS NOT THE CASE. This game is a crossover game; the storyline isn't canon. Therefore, this is by no means MK8. The game we are able to call MK8 is going to be a straight MK game that takes place right after the events of MKA.

As for this game, I'm in full support of it overall. I think this is a potentially good title the way it is shaping up. I would love for there to be some DLC, but I can see where it would be a bit difficult for a company like Midway to provide...I hope they give us something, though. I'm all for the Dark Knight costumes idea, as well as alternates for everyone. Characters would be a delightful bonus to be sure. I personally have my fingers crossed for Kung Lao. But hey, if it doesn't pan out, I won't be too disappointed. I'll still play it.

And THAT'S what Jack Burton has to say at this time.

They are probably calling it MK8 cause its the 8th version of the arcade style game.

Probably easier for them to call it MK8, like microsoft calls their projects Longhorn and Mojave.

I am sure they called it MK8 for a long time before coming up with MK Vs. DC. Probably habit.
