From Kotaku:
Anyway, it's been changed up a bit, toned down to just slightly less than awesome to secure that highly coveted T-rating that Midway and Warner Bros. are so adamant about. In the latest build, Joker still whips out his prank gun, a "BANG!" flag unfurling. Unfortunately, you won't see the follow up of Joker shooting someone in the face; that actually happens off screen now, the headshot safely out of sight.
Joker's not the only one to get thrown through the rinse cycle:
Another Fatality that's seen some revision was Kitana's, one that involved her opponent being impaled by her trademark blade-fans. Initially, the first fan went into the torso, the other into the forehead. That second was a T-rating no-no. Double fans delivered to the chest, however, that's a T-rated way to end someone's life.

But what're you gonna do I guess.

Although I am kind of starting to believe the people who claim Midway is 'selling out.' Not that it matters.

True. They were initialy upset, but then happy once the fan reactions were so positive. I think that was from one of the mkasts or something.
... this is terrible.


Joker's fatality was by far the best thing I've seen in this game so far.

People get shot in the head all the time in t rated games.. couldn't they just take out the blood or something?

Hopefully the actual gameplay (ya know the feature that's actually important ) will make up for it.

Hell I don't really care. Sure it's not as good as actually seeing him shoot them but the gameplay is more important than the fatalities so...

You're going to drop the game because of a fatality? No offense but isn't that a bit shallow

no..the only shallow thing si that in november we have plenty of 5 star games such as far cry 2,dead space,gears of war 2,fallout 3,etc...
should i have to spend money for these masterpieces or for a "good" t rated game?

sorry man,i'm going to buy dead space.
just two years ago i would have brought a Mk games over any other game,even if it sucked(like armageddon).
but now this game is not going anywehere good..the gameplay it's nothing special either,but i'm not going to continue and avoiding off topic things.

sorry for the ones who wants to buy and play the game...

For god sake. Just when I thought this game was looking more promising than I first thought, they go and do this - WHY WHY WHY? Why did they do a game with the MK cast in it if they were gonna get so upset over fatalities. Totally agree, including DC in this game was a BIG BIG mistake if they are going to ruin the essence of MK. What's Sonya's fatality going to be, slap them to death ? furious Please Ed rethink this please, it isn't fair on the MK fans at all.

That would be fuckin' ownage. Hurracanrana -> high mount -> GnP with a million vicious open hand slaps until blood starts leaking out of their ears.

Why would it be shallow to not get the game because its missing a feature that is essential to the franchise ........

So missing a key portion of the fatality is shallow ?

How well did Manhunt 2 do after the censored the shit out of it ?

How would Street Fighter do if they got rid of projectiles ?

How would Halo do if they got rid of Multiplayer ?

Since when was Mortal Kombat about gameplay ?

The first one didn't become a smash success because of its superior fighting system of Street Fighter 2. It was the attitude, the presentation, the blood , fatalities and the STORY !!!!!!!

So far MK vs DC goes against everything that the series stands for. Toned down violence, lack of story ( seriously think about Kano vs. Superman, how fucking stupid is that ? ) and the attitude.

This game should have just been called, " DC universe fighting game brought to you by out of touch development team who has abandoned their fanbase ".

this makes me wonder about raiden's fatality. i doubt very seriously that if joker and kitana's fatalities were censored than raiden's definitely will.
