Not to mention the fact that GameCube was the same generation as PS2 and Xbox, so MKD on it wouldn't be such a stretch. And the Wii is technically above PS2 and Xbox in generation, so the way Armageddon is graphically, it'd run on the Wii just fine.
But MK vs. DC graphically surpasses Wii's capabilities, which means they'd have to downgrade the graphics and that's even more work than upgrading them.

Not quite, a lot of problems that keep MK from shining can be traced back to David Zucker's poor business practices.

I'm not gonna buy a game twice. I am with purchasing DLC if the characters are to my liking.

Besides, whether people like it or not, this game will sell a million plus easily. Here's hoping that Midway can keep the momentum going with blitz II, the tna game, etc. MK no matter how much we love it, is not enough to keep a buisness afloat.

I admit, I don't have a clue how the guy ran the company, but I'm sure he isn't the guy who told the MK team how to make a fighting game.

Into the ground would be the answer to how he ran the company.

Plus, you're right, the mk team is the one making the games. They're just relying way too much on what the fans think. I'm still not thrilled at the prospect of mk vs dc, but, they broke through fan expectations and did what they wanted, something totally unexpected(for better or worse) and made this the most anticipated mk game since mk II.....here's hoping it pans out.

he (and his fellow executives) pushed unrealistic development deadlines on the MK team and those boys gave us the best they could in the little time that they were given. I find it odd that in 2002 the MK boys gave us something decent with MKDA and then after Zucker becomes CEO, just about every Midway release there after turns to shit. Coincidence? I think not.

Unless Zucker told them to abandon fluid gameplay, individual designs, a cohesive plot, forward planning, and a fresh approach, yes. I think it's a coincidence.

stop spitting bullshits,Midway is fine.
TNA impact is on the top ten position in every single US and European market both for sellings(ninth in UK) and renting(third in Italy).

The Wheelman and This is Vegas are announced masterpiece and already have the attention of the media community due to Vin diesel support and appearance.This is Vegas seems already very good and can't wait to play it.

actually i highly doubt that Mk vs DCU will sell so much...i asked a lot of DC only fanboys and they're not interested in MK.
so we have two scenarios:
1)MK vs DCU will sell due to the support of DC fanboys,but the problem will restart from MK 9 where this support is supposed to miss
2)this game won't sell well 'cause actually none from the MK side and none from DC side is interested in the game.
be honest a lot of you are going to buy the game only to support Midway thinkning that if you don't buy the game they will fail..how patetic,really.

actually Midway is far away from failure,the situation was tragic back in 2005/2006,but in 2007 Miday gets some breathe.
and about the topic:
no wouldn't buy a single copy of this game,maybe i'll rent it,try to image if i can buy it twice.
and BTW i'm a MK fan NOT a Midway fan,get the difference?
so yeah i really don't care about Zucker,Supporting Midway...etc
other software house never ask for the support of the fanboys,Atari was in high trouble and never ask support to anyone.
they released Alone in the dark,the game turned to be a great success and they managed to save their own ass.
the REAL support for a a software house is releasing
1)good quality games
2)what the fan want they should give(and actually nobody asked for a Mk vs DCU before we get the announcement).

in other words...Midway can fail for me,dissapointening is much more greater than satisfation with the game they released(area 51:black Site,stranglehold,mk armageddon,etc).
and last but non least i remember to anyone that in november GEARS of WAR hits the shelves.
and if you ask me what i would buy between the two...already know the answer.

I am going to buy the game. Not for DC, not for Midway sales but because it's Mortal Kombat and the gameplay looks fabulous.
I am almost certain some DC fanboys WILL buy it if not for Mortal Kombat then because it's the only DC fighting game at the moment.

I like the fact that you are that much devoted to the MK franchise.

However, I am not. I refuse to pay the price - LITERALLY - for the mistakes Midway makes. If Midway goes belly up, and MK is destroyed, I will be upset, but at least I'll still have all the good MK games.

"And THAT's what Nic-V has to say this time!"

Stealing Jack Burton's sign-out line? How DARE YOU! Just kidding, it's cool by me. You're on my buddy list anyway...

That aside, I just want to say that I will be buying a copy of MK vs. DC, and I will be buying the DLC that comes with it. I'm not necessarily out for the salvation of Midway itself (although I don't want it to go under, but hey, if it does, it does...), but rather for the continuation of the MK franchise. I agree with Detox's posts. I would point the finger at Zucker and his ridiculous deadlines for the problems with the last few MK titles. I also support Nic-V, as you can tell by the similarities in my post and his.

Let's face facts: the success of MK vs. DC alone isn't going to save Midway. Midway's other titles are going to have to do well for that to happen, and even then they still wouldn't be out of the woods yet (refer to the links to the article in the "Midway borrows money" thread). I don't doubt that this game will still sell well (wow, try saying that five times fast...). I think there is enough support behind it for that to happen. What I'm going to be focused on, aside from playing the game, will be the success of Midway's other titles. I know one of the last things Midway would probably sell to stay alive would be the MK license, but if they do tank, it's going to be up in the air. The question then will be over who picks it up...if you have opinions on that , go to the "Midway borrows money" thread...we've sorta started a "thread within a thread" about that very subject in there, so take your thoughts there.

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

One is good enough.The funny thing is I read about how alot of you won't buy one copy much less two.

Yet when the game actually drops,you'll at least get one copy.Sure the franchise has not gone the best direction in the past,but you'll still buy it.

No, and besides the fact I couldn't afford it if I wanted something else, I would do ti so that MIdway loses the MK franchise and it falls into someone else's, better, hands, hopefully Namco or Capcom. If Capcom got it, MK would be in capcom crossovers. If Namco got it, it would have a much better fighting engine, as in, a better mechanic with a better combo system, and some beautiful graphics. If a good company got it the MK would recieve a bigger budget, and if they were smart, would keept he MK team we know and love. Midway's going so broke, the MK team can't get the supplies needed for an extraordianry MK game. MK vs DC will be great, but not EXTRAORDINARY. So no, Iwon't buy two copies for the good of MK. And believe me, another company WOULD pick up MK, because it makes money.

You're saying it like Tekken 6 is extraordinary. Mortal Kombat might not have a perfectly polished framework, but the gameplay is a lot more epic than Tekken. Looking at the Gameplay footage of both, MK has dynamic close-ups, level transitions, klose kombat, it really does look like an epic experience.
When I saw Tekken 6 footage, despite better 3D models, or more solid gameplay mechanics, the gameplay, honestly, looked boring to me. It's the same thing we've seen the past 4 games, and although I hate to say this, because I like Tekken. But it's starting to get old.

That's not what I'm saying at all, however I personally think Tekken's combat engine is fun, due in part the the diverse movesets and large amount of combos.
