Personally I have little interest in stage content as far as death traps or weapons, etc. I never used the weapons in MK:D and I always turned the stage traps off in MK:A bc of how glitchy and inconsistent they were.

What I would like to see for the stages is real artistry and detail rather than content I won't use. From the renders and concept art so far it seems that is the way they are going and it's exciting for me. I haven't liked any MK stages since MK:DA.

Good idea Minion. I personally would like to see some stage weapons in the game again. I feel it brings a little bit more depth to the game. Especially since MKvsDC is not going to have weapon stances it would be nice to see a random weapon or two in some of the stages.

I would like to see the Pit(1) return,but this time I would like to see a button pusher.That mean when the oppenent does his/her stage fatality,why not have a button pusher to get them in postion and then do it.And instead of those things thats sticking out from the ground,why not have the bottom to be stone.So when they fall,they die from the stone.
Environmental traps:
1.The Bat Lair:Since this is batmans lair,they should include a bat weapon to it.And when the a person picks it up,Batman would appear and help the person who picks it up.

They should have special areas where if you do Klose Kombat you can slam your opponent into things {fire hydrants, rock things, pillars}. Even have it so if you hit them with a hard uppercut or kick in the right spot they fly through a wall, enabling Free Fall Kombat.

This new engine has reactive physics I believe, so it would do good for the breakable objects. They'll break in different ways, and the body's have skeletal physics apparently (like Euphoria), so they'll react naturally to any event. I just want to kick a Ninja onto a table and have it split in half as he rolls over it.

sup MINION,been a whi8le huh? anywho, the announcement of this game (as it did to most) dampend my mood. if they really HAD two combine two compinies,WHY DC!?!? its a waste,but on-sub id love some deathtraps in there considiring my hatred towards Batman and Superman. nothing would please me more then to send clark flying into a wall/pit of spikey doom.

I couldn't agree more.

better! spikes made of kryptonite (which is also a good song). but seriously some deathtraps i wanna see are like:
Hydrolic Press
A set of six tubes that periodicly shoot flames (for Flash stealing Kabals move)
One of those giant full-body metal casts that are filled with (kryptonite)cement for making statues
A super speedy convayor belt that shoots you into a wall...........made of kryptonite (teehee)

since magic screws superman up we don't even need kryptonite anymore

Giant drills that plunge into an opponent's back.
Buzz saw machine that traps limbs and cuts them off
Pinhead style hooks that tear your opponent apart

too bad DC sux too hard to allow it.

(teeny bit off subject,just a scentence or 2) i find it fitting and amusing that only MK characters and DC villans are getting fatalitys. as Boon said,the heros brutalitys wont even "kill" the opponent (technicly). back on-sub. the ship stage from MKD with a few more bodies,deathtraps and being able to kick your (superman)opponent out a window would be nice. (the idea just got in my head that mabey if superman listened to "Kryptonite" enough,hed explode.....nah,back on topic) i rather enjoyed the falling earth stage from MKA. im infuriated over the bat cave being a stage,but perhaps the ability to run batman over with the bat mobile

I would like to see Shao Kahn's Throne room mixed together with Darkseid's Area or whatever.

First post in a year, I'm in Iraq.

From what I've seen the game is promising. I like how they have combined stages like the graveyard and the Living Forrest. I'm really hoping for this trend continues. So if SS is in the game. It looks like the soul chamber is back it would be cool if SS palace was above it.

I would like to see them combine DC and MK levels like Supermans level have the roof top of the daily planet. You can knock them off to the street. Then slam them through the street to the subway level from MK.

1. Shao Khans Battle Arena
2.Roof top, Street, Subway
3.Damit I want WEAPONS and DEATHTRAPS and GORY FATALITY's

Why the hell is hell a stage? I hate battling in the neatherrealm, it's just so uninteresting.

A great stage would be the original MK shrine. I think all the original MK characters should make an appearance, and having a stage like the MK Shrine would be so awesome! It can show some decay or stuff, maybe the goro statue could be broken in half, the ninja statue should be busted thanks to Ermac, etc.

Subman, I totaly agree with you. The warrior shrine needs to return!

it would be great to have a pit type fatality on top of the LuthorCorp. tower ending with a car smashing the victim

Im dissapointed in the stage designs from what ive seen so far. They just seem too plain, boring, lifeless etc. And the graphics also look a bit dated.
Especially after looking at how great Soul Calibur IV's graphics look and how amazing the level designs look in that game. Perhaps my expectations were just too high for the first MK game of ths generation.

Can some one post pics of these stages from the DC side. Thank you

The Edenian Palace is a stage I'd like to see. Edenia has been talked about and mentioned so much in the past games and yet we have never truly seen a decent fighting stage located in that realm or on palace grounds. You got to explore Edenia in the Conquest mode of MK; Deception, but ehh, just isn't the same as it would be as a arena with all the beautiful details

I would love to see the Warrior Shrine in this game. It was my favorite arena in MK1, and I think it would add to the "iconic" nature of the game that they're going for.

i would like more death trap i can care less about stage weapons

I also would like to see the Warrior Shrine. As well as the Living forest.


Speaking of... I wonder when they are going to release another stage? They've released a good number of characters, but have kept us in the dark about stages. Showing only three (not counting concept drawing of the Batcave, or the Air Base and Wushi Academy backgrouns seen in the renders as we haven't really Seen the two their entirety.) I'd like to see a couple of stages released. Am I alone in this?
**Edit** I also agree with WarriorPrincess, I'd like to see an Edenian Palace stage. Sounds cool.

I'd like to see a little bit darker MK arenas. Look at the Wastelands in MKII vs MKA. In MKA it's purple with fog, gates, and a fire. In MK2 you had bodies in the background on pikes, somthing like you would have seen in front of Vlad Tepes castle. Or Goro's Lair, where the original (and a few of the 2d with a little bit from MK4) had bones, yellow eyes, and a skeleton hanging by chains. In MKA you could see for a distance, removing the dark aspect and mystery of the lair. Or the UMK3 version of Hell where the skeletons are the prominent instead of mere background props.

Avoid the colorful stages of MK, make them dark and dangerous looking while the DC arenas are a little more colorful and better lit (like Metropolis or the Bat Cave).

For DC I could See Oa as a great stage and Arkham Asylum as Joker's stage.

There are alot of Dark places in the DC universe.

Like Darksied world apokolips or Mongols War World or even Gotham is pretty dark.
