A bit of interesting info revealed:

Make sure you go at 10:50 time for the MK related info

* Sonya Blade is his favorite character.

* He says that six characters for E3 was a good amount: “We picked the really cool ones”.

* He comments (swears actually) about his nightmares about the game being badly received by the press and gaming sites.

* When talking about Special moves, Hec reveals that it made sense to translate some “borrowed” MK moves to some DC characters, and that included Kabal’s speed. He says that a lot of the people who will be playing the game wont be familiar with Kabal, so it was OK to incorporate or mix moves that suited the DC guys...a comment that most certainly hints that Kabal wont be in the game.

* He kept on going about special moves and talked about the casual gamers not recognizing some of the “borrowed” moves, like Jax’s ground pound, and thinking they are brand new...for only the real MK fans will know some of those are really borrowed...again, another comment that most certainly hints we wont be seeing Jax in this game.

* He adds that the moves were upgraded and all, but that it should be realized that if we have a character like Flash, gamers will want to run and do dash moves with him, so it only made sense to borrow those moves and upgrade them.

* Catwoman and Shang Stung will definitely be in the game.

* Catwoman has a lot of “sexy moves”.

* Two new MK characters and Two new DC characters will be revealed. By the looks of it, this guys might not be Liu Kang and Captain Marvel if Hector insists they are really new.

I think those are the main bits of info revealed.

I won't mind Kabal and Jax not being in this game honestly, Flash has Kabal like moves and Jax is just boring....sleep

I'd rather and happier to see Sonya in there over Jax assuming that's what they chose from.

I just hope at some point either in this game or the MK vs.DC 2 since they signed a 2 year contract have Fujin or Ermac in one of these games, I know one of them will be in either Ermac is too cool, badass and Fujin just has some sweet powers.

But we'll see. I don't expect to see Fujin in this game since Raiden will most likely be in.

I hope like hell there isn't a MK vs DC 2!

Anyhoo, it's cool that Jax and Kabal aren't in there. They're really not fit for this type of game.

I believe Boon/DC confirmed it at some point within the past few months via a few interviews. Hate to break the news to ya lol.

I don't mind as long as they bring in newer MK/DC characters in the next game.

No he didn't. He said he'd like to see two franchises. Mortal Kombat, and Mortal Kombat Versus.

Also, "Shang Stung"?

Yes, he did....it's confirmed within some of the past older interviews it was even posted on here by a few users. It said it's very likely especially if this game does well.

I think if this game does very well, we can expect to see a MK VS DC II game again.

It would be cool actually, as a separete Universe I suppose......as long as we get a real MK as soon as possible, and answers to all the horrible plot wholes of MKA.

Well, if after the MK vs DCU, the Versus saga will be developed by other MKTeam, and the original MKTeam again make only the MK canon games, it will be fine.

no its not, when its making Cash please explain how its a waste of time and money?? thats just a stupid silly comment..


anyway.

1 ~ i didnt hear him say or even imply or hint that jax or kabal wont be in the game. infact i feel now more so they'll be in the game.

2 ~ now we all know why Sonya was the first female revealed wink and why she was at E3. shes Hectors fav. i was worried that the MK team actually thought she was the main female fav by fans..

3 ~ i was actually thinking that all this 4 characters to be revealed at Comin con would just be Liu, shang, Cat, and C marvel. however when he said after Comic Con 14 will be revealed that does mean 4 new unrevealed will be shown. sounds like Big time characters.

1 ~ Wonder Woman
2 ~ Green Latern
3 ~ Raiden
4 ~ Kitana or Mileena

I'm just upset.

Even though I'm psyched about this new game, I still want to know what really happened at the pyramid. Unlike many others, I actually like MK's story.

Of course, of course. Because he alone makes such major decisions, and because we all know Scorpion and Sub-Zero are just there because they are also faves from the team and because of no other reason at all, I mean, who in the world would think carefully about the fans? Oh! And lets not forget that Ed has said Sonya is also one of his faves. Oh! And how could we forget she’s also been the chosen female in other events before mk vs dc such as in MKDA (along side Li Mei, wow, a new female character and only one classic, why would that be?), MK4, Mk3, etc. And how could we ever forget that people are allowed to have personal faves? Oh! And lets not forget your comment has obviously nothing to do with the fact that you hate Sonya.

Oh My GOD! It’s a conspiracy!!!! The world is against you!

Really, stop being soooo bitter and resented she is in and always used more then others. tongue

*shakes head* I guess if it makes you feel any better, you can keep telling yourself that.

From Comic-Con's official website:

11:15-12:15 Worlds Collide: The Making of Midway's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe— Ed Boon (Mortal Kombat) and Jimmy Palmiotti (Painkiller Jane) discuss how two billion-dollar entertainment franchises collide as Mortal Kombat warriors battle DC superheroes for the first time in this highly anticipated video game. Ed and Jimmy provide an exclusive look at never-before-seen gameplay, unveil key characters on the game's roster, and answer your questions. Room 6B


I think we're likely to get some storyline information at Comic Con because of Palmiotti being there alongside Boon. I'm going to guess that we'll see "big bad guys", at least one from each side, at this event. It's already been confirmed there will be 4 new characters revealed in total, so that isn't new info.

Why would it be a waste of time and money? If MK vs DCU sells well, it could sell well too, so it wouldn't be a waste of their time and money, and, assuming it ends up good, it wouldn't be a waste of our time and money either. Plus, we could get more MK games than ever in a period of time.

Yes. There was even an interview with Ed Boon some time ago where he confirmed that in Comic Con, fans will finally get some real news about the story. Things that havent been said or revealed will be given some light there.

I totally agree with both Dan and Mewzard, it's a great idea especially if MK vs. DC does well which it will I believe, then why not bank on a sure cash cow, big hit?

First off, the MKVSDCU franchise will not affect the main MK franchise, so whats the big deal? Just don't buy the MKVSDCU games, problem solved.

But I'm not liking the whole "borrowing" moves thing, atleast how they made it sound, they made it sound sneaky and really makes me think the MK team are lazyfurious

Sonya is in every mk game because shes one of the favs of the MK team. still doesnt make her a huge Fan fav. Characters like reptile, cage & Raiden have a bigger following.


i was actually starting to like her again until i was reminded of why i started to hate her, Her fans are the most annoying of any character.

She is the most uniqe after all wink

Really Dan, with all respect, your comments were unfair and immature. Anyone who reads what you’ve posted above will obviously get your bitter vibe.

You are biased. Honestly, that’s all you like to believe. Just because you hate her doesn’t mean everyone else does.

If she was *just* another “mk team fave”, be sure she wouldn’t be around if she didn’t have the big fan base she has. You just don’t like that.

i was actually starting to like her again until i was reminded of why i started to hate her, Her fans are the most annoying of any character.


Really? I find that extremely hard to believe.

But without wanting to, you’ve just confirmed to everyone the very fact and only reason why you don’t like Sonya. And that’s sad because you keep saying otherwise.

But hey, if you are actually telling the truth. Then why are you so childish and immature?

We are the most annoying? With the thing you wrote in your first post I find it sad and immature that you even wrote this. Don’t be such a distressed victim and take a look at your post again, please. And Im being VERY POLITE with you, so please draw back any claws. *gives you a cookie*

How about you take a deep breath and accept that your comment was a direct attack to the character and fans and it was absolutely not needed, at all, because you are bitter Sonya is getting all this attention, yet again. Why did you say something like that? No one said anything about your fave females! No one attacked you, man! Or did Hector personally attacked you by saying she is her fave? You must hate Ed for that reason as well, and the entire Mk team as well. That's not fair of you.

Man, KITANA IS IN THE GAME!!!! Your WONDERWOMAN is IN THE GAME!!! THEY ARE LIKELY TO BE RIVALS!!!!

So calm down will you?

There is just no way to deny that your post above was a direct (and on purpose) offensive attack to Sonya and her fans because you are bitter and resentful she is always chosen.

Dan, I just don’t get why you’d go on and say something like that when everyone is practically calmed and happy about the characters. Everyone is in peace for as long as you allow it, you know?

Im sure Kitana is in, and thats great news! But just because she isn’t used and promoted as Sonya is, doenst give you the right to go and attack the other fans.

And if you really are liking Sonya, then stop denying it and think for a second about what you are going to say before actually getting burned. You are not being fair.

You do realize that we wouldn’t be having this conv if you wouldn’t had made that explicit attack?

At least I know that when Kitana is confirmed and shown, that I’ll be sincere about her and like how awesome her costume could look or how amazing her weapons will play (cant wait for the steel fans!). And I’ll be happy for the sweet Kitana fans who enjoy the character.

Im not going to play around and pretend to hate or dislike a character. That's seriously a waste of time.

Again, Im being polite to you, but if you are going to pretend you hate Sonya, dont attack people because they like her.

It all comes down to whether you want to stop the hate. Im all for having a nice conversation with you smile, but if you don’t want that, well, please, stop being rude.

Being kind and respectful doesn’t make you less of a man or weak.

{reads part about MK vs DC 2} that's the last straw. Fuck Boon, fuck the MKTeam, and fuck DC. I swear to God if the next MK is indeed MK vs DC 2 nothing will ever make me buy an MK game ever again unless it's completely flawless in every way possible. They can have free-fall boxing and dipping people in lava they want and i'll still avoid it like a fucking plague.

Wow I've got some hate problems I need to work out..
