Gonan be shown today. Prolly embargoed for a day. Wonder what supermans fatality will be

(Got no idea how DC fucking allowed it)

demi · « **Reply #3 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:03:24 PM »

I've got people saying that's straight up false, I think GamesRadar is just generating hits

Grecco · « **Reply #4 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:04:46 PM »

Does gamesradar make up shit for hits?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #5 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:06:39 PM »

google turns up lots of hits starting in september of last year

demi · « **Reply #8 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:14:38 PM »

Reasons why that is fake:

* The new Mortal Kombat will not have a Goro
* MKDC actually means Deadly Coalition

Eric P · « **Reply #9 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:17:32 PM »

even if it's false, it's a weird bump considering the time line

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #10 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:29:10 PM »

i'd buy it if it had plastic man and captain marvel (shazam)

ferrarimanf355 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:34:27 PM »

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... :'(

demi · « **Reply #12 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:36:39 PM »

Lots of conflicting reports on what this actually is, so fuck it, no use but to wait.

Robo · « **Reply #14 on:** April 17, 2008, 02:58:49 PM »

I really hope this is true. Has the potential to end up as one of the most awesome shitty games ever made.

demi · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2008, 03:04:34 PM »

Now that EA Chicago shut down and their Marvel game got cancelled, this has the running lead

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.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2008, 07:54:24 PM »

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

TVC15 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2008, 08:49:18 PM »

Will only buy if I can play as King Mob or Lord Fanny.

Jabberwocky · « **Reply #26 on:** April 18, 2008, 03:04:30 AM »

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?).

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #27 on:** April 18, 2008, 03:08:43 AM »

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.

bork · « **Reply #28 on:** April 18, 2008, 03:28:42 AM »

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.

bork · « **Reply #29 on:** April 18, 2008, 04:04:25 AM »

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.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #30 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:01:31 AM »

This is going to be the greatest game ever. DAY ONE.

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?

Raban · « **Reply #35 on:** April 18, 2008, 11:23:53 AM »

are games selling so poorly in the fighting genre we gotta do shitty crossovers like this in every new game?

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.

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.

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."

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)

demi · « **Reply #52 on:** April 18, 2008, 04:13:56 PM »

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
