Even though I have been gone for ages because of an amazing and wonderful opportunity that has been presented to me, I still have kept some track of this game.

It’s honestly looking better and better for me. I’m quite happy with almost everything we’ve gotten (WHAT THE HELL! NO JOHNNY CAGE!!!!!???), so I decided to stop by and make a few comments.

First, I’m extremely happy with all the coverage and attention they have given Sonya in the MKkasts, pics and news. It’s been awesome to see her presented in the same light as Scorpion and Sub-Zero have.

She looks absolutely gorgeous (wow at those abs, sexy face, curvs, and very sexy hair! No doubt the best hair style ever given in mk, lol), and I’ve still have to comment on that cool picture of Rayden pointing something to all the heroes (but NO Cage!??? That sucks.)

Graphics look great imo. Sure there are some things that stand out as damn awful as Kitana’s stupid ribbons and ugly hair and model (I thought she was going to be improved from the render and look as beautiful as she does in her VS pic) and Shang Tsung’s hair, but then you have the cool background and the well done models of Sub/Zero and Liu Kang (even if he looks too buff).

Overall, this pic is great, and my only disappointment and complain is that they excluded two of the most classic and coolest characters for this game:

Johnny Cage and Mileena. They should had been there.



I agree. Except that I love Kitana's hair in MKDA, its well done and looks brilliant! But they messed her up completely with the weird bad hair cut on her face and the hoge pony tail that blends in weird angles and that "sweet stiff looking" ribbon.

Hopefully we get to see Mileena in a much better portray and glory in the story mode...at least.

Interesting where they're going with this story. Very clever putting Shang Tsung RIGHT in front of Baraka so we cant fully see him. That's like a little teaser.

Sonya better be carefull, her breasts look like they're gonna pop out of her shirt any second.

Why? Its MK VS DC. So why would MK characters battling DC characters not make sense?

LOL!!!! So right! Im really loving her new look. She looks gorgeous and tough! Great combination.

Anyways, I forgot to mention I really like how cool it is to see Sonya steeping ahead and facing Mr. Tsung...specially because its Kano the one who is about to be killed.

Cool. The blond babe as tough and commanding as ever.

First of all, why are you calling me an idiot? It's not my fault you NEVER make any sense, anywhere with any post. It's just a disease I guess?

You're still not making any sense, by the way. I'm assuming you're a really agressive person, because you attack anyone you don't know. Last time I checked, Batman doesn't go around beating people up just because he doesn't know who they are.
If Batman isn't catching Liu Kang robbing a bank or committing a crime, why should they fight? If Liu Kang sees a guy in a bat cape going around fighting crime, why should he assume he's from outworld?

It's NOT like aliens, because they're (mostly) all HUMAN. It's not like Sub-Zero shows up in Gotham City with a huge sign saying ''FROM ANOTHER WORLD''.
Why would Batman know every single person from the DC universe, and Shang Tsung know every single person from the MK world? Don't new characters ever show up?
If you're Batman and you're used to seeing the strangest guys show up in Gotham City, both villains and heroes, if a ninja who can shoot ice shows up and he's not really harming anyone, why the fuck should he care?
Likewise, if Liu Kang is like, watching over China or something, and Superman pops up saving people, why should he have a problem? Why should anyone have a problem with Superman being a part of their world?

You're having an extremely limited and childish mentality. I'm not insulting you, it's just the truth. Don't call me an idiot, I certainly never insulted you, don't make this personal.

Everyone else see's it but you don't. According to what Boon is saying, the Batman in MKVSDC WILL be different from the one you're thinking of. I believe that in MKVSDC all of the DC characters will Know one another(atleast the ones in the game). I'm just stating the facts, so if you wanna dispute them take it up with midway, I don't make MKVSDC so...guess thats it. You can't speak logic to some people, they can't comprehend it.

Baraka is in there!!!!
Incredible!!!
MK villains and heroes united!
Oh my god, I am so happy!

Here's my two cents on the discussion raging above...

Batman, and the rest of the DC cast, are no stranger to crossovers. Batman seemed to handle the merger of Marvel and DC rather well. While the Marvel vs. DC "worlds collide" did result in a lot of heroes getting into fights, the majority actually welcomed the addition of new heroes. Only when they were FORCED to fight each other did the heroes truly begin an outright battle (and even then they eventually worked together to fight bigger threats.)

If you follow a character like Batman, it's absolutely insane to believe Batman would just attack Sub-Zero without any provocation. Even IF they felt that MK was "invading" DC (which is incredibly lame because, seriously, DC's got thousands upon thousands of heroes and MK's cast is, what, a measly 60 characters at best?), Batman would still not attack somebody without just cause.

And if you try to say that this "isn't the Batman you're familiar with", then it's not Batman at all. Ask any comic book fan what they hate most and they'll say "retcons" and "heroes acting out of character".

This entire concept still feels so incredibly forced, it's troublesome. Basically, it's a plot that's servicable, but one that ultimately is a petty excuse to justify spandex-clad Superman trading blows with soul-sucking Shang Tsung.

And, seriously, this game is going to have no ramifications on either universe. There's no way in hell DC's universe will be destroyed, and we all know Midway's too money-hungry to destroy their one and only cash cow.

Even if this were some pocket-universe where every event in the games and comics never happened, fans will still expect the heroes and villains to act in character. Superman and Liu Kang would never reasonably exchange blows because they stand for the same thing. Sub-Zero and Batman follow the same ideology. To compromise that is character suicide of the highest order, and if that's going to be the case in this game then Midway has sunk to a new low.

I'll withhold judgment until the game is out, as I'm fairly certain an alliance between the MK heroes and villains can't possible last through even a single game, but right now I'm not exactly happy either.

Oh, and Sonya's boobs are enormous.

Yeah, um...I agree with Zentile. I would much rather see good guys teaming up with good guys and bad guys with bad guys because it just makes more sense. I shouldn't have to justify this by explaining it, Zentile said enough on behalf of this idea and anyone with common sense would be able to see that.

Errr... I said it did make sense. However, I think it sucks.

The "it" I am referring to is, of course, the notion that the MK guys will all team up and go MK Armageddon against a DC Team. MK characters battling DC characters in a complex interplay of allegiances and rivalries while the big bad sets things up behind the scenes - cool, fine. Simplistic MKA style "LOTR armies" fighting each other just because some people from another realm have appeared. It's a bit pathetic making it seem like a war. It should be more like a terrible event which has effected both sides and there's confusion and nobody knows what's going on behind the scenes. This has nothing to do with MK character fighting DC characters, which should happen (duh, it's MK vs DC), but the way in which it happens. The plot, you know.

Honestly, going down this route, it translates as:

*Liu Kang and Shang Tsung are fighting in a deadly battle. Rivals for years, they hold a burning hatred for each other*

LIU KANG:
You'll pay for your sins, Tsung!

SHANG:
You'll pay with your soul, Kang!

*Suddenly, there is a loud crack and the arena is all jumbled up. Out off the wreckage appears Batman*

LIU KANG:
Wha happen?

SHANG:
I don't know...

LIU KANG:
Look! It's some kind of Bat Man!

SHANG:
He must have done it!

LIU KANG:
Yeah, and he's not from around here... Let's kill him!

SHANG:
I love you Liu Kang. I'll be glad to fight on your side against people who ain't from around here.

BATMAN:
...



OK. It won't be that dumb. All I'm saying is that it would be better if you get DC characters forming alliances with MK characters, and wild cards, and the heroes working together to fight villains. The hate between villains and heroes should be stronger than that between DC and MK. Maybe a hero team and a villain team if we must instead of a DC and MK team. A bit of interplay is always better.

The Rage. That could explain things. Dark Kahn is controlling the characters from different universes to fight each other. I still don't like it, though it is just a crossover at the end of the day.

So Batman or Superman won't fight MK characters even if it means the end of THEIR universe or existence? Thats the whole point, each side's universe hangs in the balance! So yeah, they are going to fight. Like I stated, the game is called MK VS DC for a reason. If you don't like the heroes fighting one another then oh well. I think the heroes from each side uniting with one another is one of the dumbest things ever.

Superman won't show up in "china" and start saving people, wtf. You guys have no idea what you're talking about. Midway have two comic book writers on the game and believe me when I say that superman and batman will certainly be fighting the mk characters, good or evil, when it comes to their universe or lives hanging in the balance(otherwise, why would they be in the game?). THINK people THINK. Now, I do think some heroes from both sides will allign with one another DURING the game, in that part I agree with you all, but to just say they all are going to be buddy buddy from the getgo is so dumb and retarted.

Where did I say that NO heroes should fight each other?

I just don't want to see a set and crappy MKArmageddon style team plot where it's ALL the MK characters versus ALL the DC characters. The picture suggests to me that the MK characters are going to team up and fight against DC and likewise. I don't think that's a very good plot, as it stands.





Indeed, wtf. YOU have no idea what I'M talking about.





Also, not something I said. I'm going to have break the harsh truth as nice as I can: get better reading comprehension. And the opposite end scenario of the quote is just as bad.

Cool out man. lol

Doin' too much.

I actually got two other humanoids I'm debating with, so i'm not just talking to you. Sorry for the confusion.

Predator, I'll chill, I haven't written soo much on this site in a long time, i never get into debates.

You know, it's entirely possible that the MK (and DC) side will try and team up but fail (and I think there'll be a lot of confusion. What exactly is this threat? Why are realms merging?) due to internal conflict. Now this would be very good indeed as far as I'm concerned. If they play it straight like they did in MKA, it'll be too contrived, and they'll miss a lot of opportunity to milk the material.

Ok, I get where you're coming from. Thats a good guess bro.

I imagine they'll do so at first, feeling threatened by this gradual universal merger, but they'll have a fall out, and heroes will join with other heroes against the villains.

Ultimately, it will surely be a team effort to beat Dark Kahn.

I sense that there is going to be betrayal by Shang Tsung.

Jack Burton stands with Garlador on this one...I can't even add to what he's said, so I'll leave it at that. He's made perfect sense.

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

Jax & Sonya at the base, suddenly the vortex opens
Sonya: What happen?
Jax:Someone set up us da bomb
Sonya:We get Signal
Jax: It's You!!!
Darkseid: How are you gentlemen, all your realms are belong to DC, you are on the path to destruction you have no chance to survive make your time


I'd lol.

Wow...is the DC threat that big??? Awesome! I do hope the in game cutscenes aren't as corny as Shaolin Monks, though I enjoyed them! Lol!

Yeah, Jack Burton loved MKSM a lot for moments like that (not to mention I loved Kung Lao). I really liked the cutscene when Baraka sets the monk on fire, stabs him through the head, and then tosses him at Liu Kang and Kung Lao, and they ask "Are you okay?"

I laughed my ass off!

Jack Burton loves moments like that...makes him giggle and whatnot.

How am I gonna get skulled hours AFTER the debate and we've all moved on? Plus what was there to get skulled TWICE about? Just because I was speaking heatedly? Oh yeah, I'm the only one who speaks heatedly on here? I heard ppl call each other much worse and NOT get skulled. I think i'm a target...and I don't like it..ok...w/e. sigh *woosah*...


Anyway, I just hope this game is better than MKA. Like I stated in another thread, I hope they rkeeping quiet for good reasons, midway.

The graphics look okay, but there is something extremely bland about the screenshot. Maybe it's the way the characters are posing. And I've seen some people already mention the hands of the character models. To me they somewhat convey a stiffness that's been plaguing the franchise since Deadly Alliance. It just doesn't feel natural.
