Multiple Platforms Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe

[GFX Guilder]

The new Mortal Kombat game will also have characters from DC Universe. There will be 20-22 characters in this game, half is MK and half is DC. The characters confirmed for it will be Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Superman, and batman. At E3 2008, Ed Boon showed some gameplay and he announced some more characters for the game. He announced The Flash, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, Sonya, CatWoman, and Captain Marvel(he is going by Shazam in this). The game looked amazing and it has ral rime damage which means, whenever you get hit or cut or whatever, you're clothes will be torn and you're face will be messed up a little. Ed Boon said that there will be 2 storylines in the game. One is the MK point of view when DC Universe people start showing up and how they showed up and the other story is the DC universe's point of view when MK people start showing up and how they showed up. Ed also said that you will be able to fight in Gotham City, Metropolis City, and the Batcave. If you want to see some gameplay of the newer announced characters, watch the 2008 comic con on TV because Ed Boon said that he might anounce some more characters and he will show a lot of gameplay. New characters were announced at ComicCon, they are Jax, Green Lantern, Kitana, and The Joker.
Edit: I forgot to add this in, but there Will be Fatalitys. The fatalitys will be different because DC comics doesn't want their characters to be killing. The game will be rated T because DC comics doesen't want their superheroes in a M rated game.

The game actually looks pretty cool. From what I've seen, it still retains the dark vibe common in MK games despite having characters like Catwoman and Superman present. Not sure how crazy I am about the T rating or lack of killing. I play MK games mostly because of the violence. They aren't the best fighting games around in terms of gameplay, but they're fun as hell to play because the players are utterly disemboweling each other. Still, the game's looking good.

Seems like 2008 is going to be the year of Beat Em Ups.

I'll admit though... with MK V.S DC, I was absolutely disgusted at first. I'm still skeptic about the whole thing, but it's seems somewhat more appealing after I saw some of the actual gameplay. The graphics are nice too, but most importantly, a lot of the DC characters have proper moves that correspond with their traits from the comics.

And with the small new little additions they've done, the game looks NICE. Although, I'm curious as to HOW the finishing moves will play into it. Fatalities ARE there, and Midway has promised that they'll STRETCH the "Teen" rating as far as they can, but still... Can you really imagine Joker ripping Super-Man's head off?

And the whole: "Super-man has two weaknesses... Kryptionite AND magic" thing is just... ...... ....

What? Those are his weaknesses...I don't understand how half the characters in this game are going to randomly pull out a chunk of Kryptonite or know magic or w/e...but who knows...? *shrugs* I hope they pull in some interesting Vertigo characters (The Endless?!?)...or maybe Wildstorm! Gen13! FUCK YEAH! Probably not gonna happen though...*shakes fist at Jim Lee*
