Anyone excited?

Thats from Gamesrader they have the exclusive alledgedly.
-
You had better be kidding... are you serious??? lmao
-
Gonan be shown today. Prolly embargoed for a day. Wonder what supermans fatality will be
(Got no idea how DC fucking allowed it)
-
I've got people saying that's straight up false, I think GamesRadar is just generating hits
-
Does gamesradar make up shit for hits?
-
I would both lol and roffle if it were true.
-
ugh
-
google turns up lots of hits starting in september of last year
-
Reasons why that is fake:
* The new Mortal Kombat will not have a Goro
* MKDC actually means Deadly Coalition
-
even if it's false, it's a weird bump considering the time line
-
i'd buy it if it had plastic man and captain marvel (shazam)
-
I guess Ed Boon was looking at Vader and Yoda in Soulcalibur IV and thinking, "How could I one-up THAT?"
Boon better be working on an XBLA port of The Grid to make up for this... :'(
-
Lots of conflicting reports on what this actually is, so fuck it, no use but to wait.

GAFfers seem convinced that it's true and are bracing themselves... :-X
-
I really hope this is true. Has the potential to end up as one of the most awesome shitty games ever made.
-
Now that EA Chicago shut down and their Marvel game got cancelled, this has the running lead
-

Even more awesome than Daikitana? Heresy!
-
Well, it will at least use Unreal Engine 3...

-
I probably won't like it (haven't liked MK since 2, aside from a brief flirt with UMK3.)
but if this is true, it'll sell like 4 billion copies.
-
Batman is a DC character, no?
would be awesome if he mounted his opponent sexually then strangled them with his utility belt for a fatality
-
Will only buy if I can play as King Mob or Lord Fanny.
-
Confiremd according to mkonline.com
Game of the Generation!
-
please be a fake please be a fake
-
i certainly didn't expect this
-
I'm going to impale you guys on my GREEN LANTERN SPEAR!
This game damn well better have GL in it
-
It's like seeing Robocop turn PG-13!
-
I knew it was going to be a VS. game, and I had a feeling it was going to be against a comic universe. For a while I thought Soul Calibur or Tekken, since Namco seems extremely cameo-happy with SC4 (random anime chicks, Yoda and Vader... wtf?).
-
They'll come up with some replacement for fatalities and blood. Just look at the "finishing moves" and sweat in MK1 Snes, they weren't so ba--BWAHAHAA even as a 12 year old I could tell that 80% of the fun was missing.
Ed Boon can't create a decent fighting engine his way out of a paper bag. Science fact.
but the game will sell trillions.
-
LMAO.
Marvel at least got to have CAPCOM make some fighting games for them, and they rocked as we all know.
But this? YUUUUUCK. I feel bad for DC. :( Especially after the last Mortal Kombat game. Maybe if they scrap EVERYTHING they did before, start over, and ape a good game, it might be decent. Maybe.
-
Design tip for DC- Please lose the "underwear on the outside of the spandex" look for your male characters. It looks so cheesy. Marvel has already done this.
-
This is going to be the greatest game ever. DAY ONE.
-
But Superman has a code against killing.
"SO I'LL DO THE JOB FOR HIM"
-
This idea sucks so bad, I don't even know where to begin bitching.
-
better than soul calibur 4 and star wars lol.
-
Sorry, but no blood, no buy. I'll stick to Ultimate MK3 on Xbox Live Arcade, kplzthx.
Any news on Midway making more XBLA titles, btw?
-
are games selling so poorly in the fighting genre we gotta do shitty crossovers like this in every new game?
-
Why are MK games still being made?
-
better than soul calibur 4 and star wars lol.
Not really. The Star Wars character being inserted into Soul Caliber 4 doesn't force them to change the tone the series is known for. You could probably play the game and just simply ignore that they are even there. Where as putting DC character in a series known for its over the top violence will probably take away the one thing that it had going for it.
-
...
SC :(
-
AHAHA YESSSSSS
This is going to be the greatest game ever. DAY ONE.
:rock
-
This really is one of the dumbest. I mean. You sit around and go, "Wouldn't that be cool?" but you never expect anyone to take you seriously and for good reason.
-
Only potheads think Scorpion versus Green Lantern is a good matchup

edit:
from your link: "The visuals in the game benefit from a tweaked out Unreal III engine, which has allowed the art team to go to town."
-
Look at that video dude, its straight ripped from their past games
-
Alright I'm starting to change my mind
I am convinced this game will be so bad and just bizarre that I have to buy it on that alone. You look at my shelf and see "MORTAL KOMBAT VERSUS THE DC UNIVERSE", that is guaranteed pussy

This game is absolute genius, I can troll both comic fegs and kombat fegs all in one swoop, just by either buying this game or pretending I care about either thing (while pretending to hate the other thing)
-
10 DC characters, 10 MK characters
No Bizarro
Shazaam is in the game (who the fuck? edit: wikipedia says its Captain Marvel?)
Lex Luthor is in the game
-
10 DC characters, 10 MK characters
Not bad but used to be

THIS GAME IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT VERTIGO!
-
Captain Marvel, aka Shazam:
(http://www.hillcity-comics.com/poster_misc/ShazamAlexRossPoster_BIG.jpg)
big superhero in the 1940s, for a time outsold even Superman
along with Plastic Man, my favorite comic character
now i have to buy this piece of shit
shift 8 sigh shift 8
-
There will be a Metropolis level
-
Well, at least that new game with Vin Diesel in it looks good. :-*

I will buy this game if it has Booster Gold in it

is booster gold some sort of illicit substance? It sounds like something out of a bad scifi dystopia novel.

Booster Gold is a loser janitor from the future who steals some superhero gear from the superhero museum and travels back in time with his robot companion Skeets, only since his robot has an encylopedic knowledge of the present day, he uses it Groundhog Day style to stop crimes before they start and develop an inflated reputation for himself, which he quickly parlays into a lucrative career on the talk show and promotional tie-in circuit.
He's totally awesome, at least as redeemed by Grant Morrison in 52 (and continued by Geoff Johns in his ongoing series).
We should actually make a buy-bet thread where we promise "I will buy Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe if it has C-list Character X" in it. :D
-
they will probably all have multiple unlockable costumes, too
golden age green lantern > *
that's where you might see bizarro

i wanna play gorilla grodd

But cap marvel is not shazam. Shazam is the wizard that gave the kid his powahs.

DC Comics

They have to call Captain Marvel "Shazam" on comics covers, because when DC comics sued Fawcett (the original publishers of Captain Marvel) out of business in the 1950s, the copyright on the name lapsed, and by the time they brought Captain Marvel back in the early 1970s, Marvel Comics had already established a new copyright on the name
they can call him Captain Marvel inside the comics he appears, but they can't use the name anywhere on the cover
-
and let's not even GET into Marvelman/Miracleman
then OR now

if they could clear up all that and put out an Absolute Hardcover of Miracleman, I would prostitute my anus to get it

The Nerdiness of Spencer
-
no fatalities, shit/bin.
-
yeah, you would think DC wouldn't care about having fatalities, considering how violent their mainstream superhero comics have been over the last few years
-
What? Are you kidding me? You think they'd make a videogame where Superman could potentially kill Batman? C'mon.

There will be two different stories, one told from the side of MK, one from the side of DC, where each universe is invaded by the opposite universe’s characters. Names familiar to comic fans, Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray are writing the story to help lend the proper voices to the DC Characters. These stories will be told in a new version of the traditional single player campaign.
The story will be used to balance the fights more evenly, and will do so using established mythology. For instance, the story will feature magic factors, to weaken Superman against a character like Sub-Zero.
I'm so glad that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe won't break continuity.
-
You of all people should know how crazy diehards take this kind of shit!
-
What? Are you kidding me? You think they'd make a videogame where Superman could potentially kill Batman? C'mon.
uh, he's done it in comics before
-
Shazam? Wasn't that the name of that awful movie by Shaq?
-
That's the best excuse they could use to nerf Superman? :wtf

Ted Kord was awesome in the prelude to Infinite Crisis. Too bad I and many other people didn't find out about him until that issue.

Did you read these?

I'd like to go back and read those old JLA comics. I was never much of a DC fan and always stuck with Marvel in the 80s and 90s. Gave them both up in the mid-90s and went back to the them a few years ago, but then quit reading again when I moved to Japan. Occasionally I find some scanned comics to download though. Loved Marvel Zombies. Anyway, I did find an imported issue of JLA (they started over AGAIN?! It was #18) with a bunch of characters I didn't recognize in it, plus the League was acting like a government-sanctioned organization just like what Marvel has done with the Avengers and the X-Men previously. Yuck. When I was a kid, I also remember hating the art (I cared more about the art back then) in DC comics so much. It seemed like they were still stuck in the 80s during the pin-up bad-pose art of the early 90s. Now they seem to have caught up. Ed Benes, man...what happened?
But hey, Power Girl is getting her own series! Big-boobed blonde haired character in revealing outfit, yeah, been there and done that 209394349032094309 times in comics, BUT it's Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner doing the story and art. 8)

you're in luck
both the giffen 80s version and the morrison 90s version see extravagant releases this year

Giffen, yes. Morrison...I dunno. I'm not the biggest fan of him. And when he teams up with Frank Quietly? VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT. The weird thing is I loved the Authority when they were doing it. It was the move to X-Men I fucking hated.
-
the JLA he did is considered a good run for JLA, but if you're not a morrison fan, this won't change your opinion at all.
looks like the giffen HC is out
