I honestly think that people are expecting way too much in regards to DLC... not just for this game. Just look at whats out there now. Soul Calibur had some worthless costume parts and yoda (vader for 360). 1 $5 Character. That's pathetic. Oh, they also had weapon packs that unlock weapons that you can normally unlock by playing the game. (I personally can't believe that someone thought that charging for that was a good idea).

Most games are getting really small add ons. Like song packs for band games, and maps for COD4. Hell, they're even charging for costume parts for little big planet. A game where you're supposed to be able to make everything, and be uber creative. Well, all except for that I guess. That will cost you. Star Wars Force Unleashed just got some new skins....woo hoo! I guess they're trying.....

I'd love to see additional characters or stages in mk vs dc, but from what I've seen so far on the ps network... it is not very likely. We'll probably get a pack of production photos. lol. And if we do get characters... expect at least a $5 price point on each one. But I'm not holding my breath.

I am a little annoyed that they spent all that time showing off Quan Chi in the story mode and then didn't give him to us as a playable character. He looked great. :(

I'm also a little confused on where all the 'secrets' went in this game. It seems pretty straight forward so far. What you see is what you get. Past mk titles had krypts, and unlockables. For me, that was one of the lures of mortal kombat. Personally, I can do without the minigames. But I've always loved getting caught up in the rumors of characters showing up at certain times, and stuff like that. Especially stage fatalities... oh, stage fatalities... where have you gone? And I'm not talking about the predetermined (and colorful) zones from MKA. Whatever happened to just knocking someone into a pool of lava or into a spiked pit with a meaty uppercut?

All that being said... I think mk vs. dc is a beautiful game that plays really well. And I'm a sucker so I'll buy whatever extra stuff they put out. I'm just not getting my hopes up real high. We'll probably just end up with a santa costume for scorpion for xmas....

I have a feeling that they will include at least four new players, two to each side. It would be amazing if they included a fatality pack. I would buy a fatality pack in an instant if it included at least one or two new finishing moves per player.grin

SCIV had a create-a-character mode so there wasn't really any need to release additional fighters. On the other hand with MK vs DC what you see is what you get. More fighters for it would be a boon (no pun intended)

They should add new characters. Hot Shots Golf has some good add-ons I haven't downloaded them yet I want to but meh haha. I think it's got 3 new characters including Kratos from God of War and a new golf course.

You're right though I have noticed some downloadable content is just new skins or colour's varied

I'd like to say Reptile and Cage. What I expect is a slightly modified superman with alternate move properties that we'll call Bizarro. grin

Wow, well let's see:
-Song packs are BIG for band games, since they ARE the game, and to release that many EVERY week is good, and hard to do.
-Maps are like levels, and require extra programming.
-Costume parts for LBP ARE new characters because they aren't unlockable. And they ADD those to add to the creativity. I took the MotorStormer costume and made Master Chief.
-S(W)TFUNew skins = new costumes.

So basically, they CAN make new characters, and hell, they will. Face it, just because no ones done it doesn't mean it won't be done. Hell, Yuo forget that for the PS3 game PAIN, they've already released like 5 new characters. So dude, I don't mean to sound mean (even though I probably do) but know everything before you rant about impossibility
