AICN Games: Mortal Kombat vs. the DC Universe? Batman vs. Sub-Zero? AWESOME!

First? by The-Duke-of-New-York	Apr 19th, 2008 02:55:29 PM

Superman????? by Alex_Kenobi	Apr 19th, 2008 03:02:02 PM
How do you fight superman does this take place under a red sun? Kryptonite in the drinking water?
That said, I was ready to dismiss this upon reading the title... by googamooga	Apr 19th, 2008 03:02:41 PM
However, the game itself actually DOES look pretty cool. Shame about the fatalities, but that's the way of the world. Everyone's too worried about offending someone and/or looking bad.
Okay, now that that's settled... by The-Duke-of-New-York	Apr 19th, 2008 03:04:23 PM
I've known about this for a couple days. MK boards hate the idea because comics are "gay" and "subzero wuld freez batmans head at 100yards and decaptiate hm" Comic book boards seem to hate the idea because MK is passe and a trainwreck. I personally think to myself...awesome.
I guess no fatalities for Batman by Rufferto	Apr 19th, 2008 03:05:28 PM
Now he must feel dumb about that whole I don't kill thing.
My dork may be small... by The-Duke-of-New-York	Apr 19th, 2008 03:06:59 PM
but my geek is huge? I figure to get the full talkback experience I need to get first at least once. The scuttlebutt is that it's T-rated, but as hard of a T as they can manage. There will be finishing moves, but they'll be limited.
Then again by Rufferto	Apr 19th, 2008 03:07:05 PM
no one died in Mortal Kombat.
no fatalities by sokitome	Apr 19th, 2008 03:07:13 PM
having no fatalities would just make the game stupid and pointless. You CANNOT have a mortal kombat game without fatalities. THe popularity of the game was always the violence. The game play was never as good as streetfighter but it made up for it with its sheer brutality. Having a MK game without fatalities is like having Batsuit with nipples.

Because Star Wars and Soul Calibur wasn't crazy enough... by Xanthos Samurai	Apr 19th, 2008 03:09:42 PM
Could be interesting! I'm just wondering when they'll do Mortal Kombat Vs. Marvel Vs. Capcom Vs. DC.
That is über-cool by SpencerTrilby	Apr 19th, 2008 03:13:12 PM
now, just make an SNK vs. DC vs. Capcom vs. Namco vs. DOA vs. Marvel vs. MK, throw into the mix a few outsiders as secret, unlockable chaps (Solid Snake, Link, Kent Paul and Samus Aran) and remix catchy themes from said games à la Super Smash Bros. I'd buy that for a $. BTW I'm dead serious, no "geek sarcasm" in my post. I'd really pay to play that sucker.
Pointlees game by sickboy_ukuk	Apr 19th, 2008 03:16:01 PM
we all know Batman will kick there arse before it's even loaded in
That is pretty wicked by Super Rabbi	Apr 19th, 2008 03:16:14 PM
I hope they change their minds about those fatalities.
Haha Xanthos you beat me to it by SpencerTrilby	Apr 19th, 2008 03:17:05 PM
and I don't mind that much about the lack of fatalities: MK games were never THAT good, and the whole project smells like a marketing stunt in the first place; but if the final product is even half as good as a good ol' Marvel vs. Capcom it would be enough to calm my thirst before the SFIV release...
Stupid idea by Stalkeye	Apr 19th, 2008 03:17:56 PM
What the fuck? Superman and most of the DCU characters are not killers, so what would be their fatalities? This by any means will NEVER be as good as MVC. Capcom would have done another sequel had not Marvel asked for more money.Bitches!
Hmmm... by ollerom	Apr 19th, 2008 03:23:10 PM
I dont know how I feel about it. Kotaku.com has reported that there wont be fatalities. But on the other hand it would be cool to play as the DC characters. So I quess I will have to wait and see how it will turn out.
by deadshot07	Apr 19th, 2008 03:24:27 PM
I can't wait to stick Liu Kang between the eyes with a batarang.
DC characters that would work in MK by Rufferto	Apr 19th, 2008 03:26:42 PM
uhhh... Lobo ? Bane ? I honestly don't know DC from atom... How about the Joker? HHAHAAA. I know that wouldn't work but that just shows how the ideas don't really mix.

This would be awesome if it was still 1998 by blindambition238	Apr 19th, 2008 03:41:23 PM
When the franchise was still pretty good with MK3 and there was still hope that DC could produce a good video game.
Batmans fatality... by blindambition238	Apr 19th, 2008 03:43:18 PM
He sends his opponent to Arkham and ends up fighting them the next round.

He leaves the match to go lift stuff and his opponent falls asleep waitign for him to do something.
Wonder Woman's fatality.... by blindambition238	Apr 19th, 2008 03:47:08 PM
She doesn't have one.. who the fuck is gonna play as Wonder Woman? Oh wait... I guess she could snap their neck on live tv and turn emo.

I like WW and Batmans.
how...... by phalaughul	Apr 19th, 2008 03:58:16 PM
fucking stupid is this kind of idea... i mean really DC vs. mortal kombat.... what's next pokemon vs. digimon??? can't anyone think of a better idea of displaying a video game , instead of using the same characters and just adding them to a whole new dimension... why can't game developers come up with something new, instead of using the same old ideas or even making another sequel outta them. FUCK!!!!

DON'T GIVE A FUCKING SHIT by Gungan Slayer	Apr 19th, 2008 04:42:06 PM
who the fuck is excited about this? I've always been a huge DC Comics fan and a huge fan of fighters. If this was a sequel to Capcom vs Marvel I would be excited. God, if this was a DC vs MARVEL game my head would implode....but MK vs DC? The MK games have been average at best in recent years, hell, all Midway games have been average at best recently. No gore? No fatalities? These are like the two things that made MK different than all the other fighters. What, can't expose the little kiddies to have Batman's testicles or something ripped? This is just lame ass quick cash in job. Fuck you Midway and fuck you mortal kombat

JOKER & HARLEY QUINN BABY!!!!! by Dallas1701D	Apr 19th, 2008 05:44:04 PM
as soon as I realized this was real and not just some awkward title trickery my thoughts went immediately to playing as the Joker or Harley, fighting with electro-shock joy-buzzers and acid-squirting lapel flowers. I'd rather beat up Kano as Joker or Lex Luthor than as Green Arrow or Black Canary

Athiests vs. Figments of Our Imagination by Darwyn	Apr 19th, 2008 05:45:44 PM
Dawkings, Hitchens and unlockable obscure scientists (I'm pulling for Vygotsky) square off in the truthiest battle royale ever against unicorns, random cartoon characters and unique daydream conjurations! Hitchens's fatality will be turning into the Flying Spaghetti Monster and whipping his opponent with a noodly appendage into a mess of bloody mulch, while Dawkins will put his hands to his temples in intense concentration and through the power of disbelief, make his opponents soul evaporate! Truthality! Meanwhile, a dinosaur with Oprah's face eats you twice! Surreal Failed Dietality! Mickey Mouse cranks off on his opponent! Unnecessary gross imagality!

Reserving final judgement by DaKnifeOrDaGun	Apr 19th, 2008 05:53:36 PM
I swear. Some of you are cynical to the bone and never satisfied. MK VS DC may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's an intriguing enough idea that deserves the benefit of the doubt. I can live without having fatalities, if I get to kick and head butt batman about 20 times, while falling 200 feet through debris and finishing him off by throwing his ass through a temple for good measure before he goes down. It's DC's call if they feel the fatalities go against the image of many of their characters. Suck it up and deal with it. If you dont give a shit.. dont buy the damn game. Simple as that. Go play Rainbow Six and get your sadistic fix on a couple of head shots. I understand that everyone has a right to speak on how they feel but damn it's ridiculous just how many fucks get bent out of shape over the most tedious details without waiting for the finishing product
RE: Tedious Details by DaKnifeOrDaGun	Apr 19th, 2008 06:03:19 PM
I know that fatalities are a big deal with MK but we still don't know what the final product will be. If your decision to buy the game depends on the fatalities and it doesn't happen, then don't buy it. Perhaps that will let the makers of MK know in the future when they make licensing deals like this that they cannot give up the fatality option.
by ollerom	Apr 19th, 2008 06:33:55 PM
MKA didnt really have fatalities instead it had everyone one do the same one. So I guess not having them at all isnt that bad.
Platonists vs. Neo-Cons by Octaveaeon	Apr 19th, 2008 06:43:57 PM
Socrates, Plato and Leo Strauss get medieval on the morons that besmirched their tradition. Thucydides and Abu Nasr al-Farabi preside over the massacre. No fatalities: chicken-hawks and liberals don't know dick about war.
a ahole's thoughts... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 19th, 2008 06:50:18 PM
...this idea is stupid...sure Marvel vs Capcom was basically the same thing, but at least it was comic book chars vs a whole slew of different characters...MK vs DC...not the same...also, DC sucks hard cuz everyones a god (even Batman's a god)...might as well just do a DC vs Mythology gods game...
MORTAL = Death = Fatality by ruven76	Apr 19th, 2008 06:59:08 PM
So kinda sucks that it wont have them in. They should have worked something out in which MK vs MK fights had regular fatalities, but if DC characters are involved the fatalities could do something different. Like having DC characters arrest or take their enemies to jail/arkham, etc... using their powers. And MK characters could unmask/reveal identities of the superheroes. OK nevermind, thats gay.
That's the trouble with the DC Universe - by sean bean	Apr 19th, 2008 07:14:14 PM
Superman is just so ridiculously powerful that he could just stand there laughing and eating peanuts while Baraka tries to scratch him. He could blow Rayden's head up with heat vision whilst taking a piss. None of the MK crew can realistically touch him. I hope DC loses the rights to the character. At least the Sentry is a mentalist.

How Superman will work in this... by ZeroCorpse	Apr 19th, 2008 07:51:07 PM
Magic, baby. If they're in the magical Outworld (or whatever the MK tournament world is called) then Superman doesn't have a yellow sun, so he's running on reserves, and he's fighting magickal enemies, which happens to be his one real weakness. Superman's not the problem. The problem is if they include Wonder Woman, Green Lantern or The Flash. WW is a goddess capable of going one-on-one with a full-power Superman. The Flash should be so fast you couldn't see him on the screen. Green Lantern can do ANYTHING with his ring, and magic don't mean shit to him. The only way you'll stop GL is if the whole MK crew starts covers themselves in yellow. This is a bad idea. It will be silly and cheesy if they include the DC powerhouses. I could totally get behind an MK vs. DC game if they only used characters like Batman, Deathstroke, Bane, Nightwing, and Cyborg... But the godlike DC characters are just not suited to this type of game, with these opponents. Even weakened, Superman could rip Goro in half, and wouldn't be in danger from a Sub-Zero attack. AND HE CAN FLY. Why would Superman just stand on the ground and have a fistfight with Liu Kang, when he can fly a mile above him and zap the shit out of him with heat vision? The ONLY way this will work is if the MK characters get a serious upgrade, or if they cut out the mere mortal characters (Johnny, Sonia, etc.) in favor of godlike guys like Raiden and Goro.
Green Lantern.... by Autodidact	Apr 19th, 2008 07:54:57 PM

MK's Fatalities went downhill in MK3 by DarthFloyd	Apr 20th, 2008 12:25:26 AM
Thanks to Congress pissing and moaning about the brutality involved (and seeing Sub-Zero kill Sonya in MK1 brought the domestic violence groups panties in a big bunch). After that, the Fatalities for MK3 were severely watered down. Midway tried to recapture some of what they lost with the Brutalities in the home version, but it was too little, too late. As far as DC is concerned, Batman has killed how many? Superman? Anyone of the big names really killed anyone in the DC Universe? I think if they really want to do this right, they need to keep the fatalities and maybe make it more like Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Just my $0.02.

How to ruin a video gaming experience: Think. by Sithtastic	Apr 20th, 2008 01:47:51 AM
I think this conversation rivals some of the more riddiculous ones we used to have as kids, which went something like "Dude, can you imagine if Superman took on Darth Vader? Wouldn't that be awesome?" and the response to this always remains: Sure, if I'm convinced it can happen. I don't want to know what kind of twisted story they're building around this. I care only if I can play in arcade mode, dump the "story" and try to remember it's first and foremost a fighting game. Incidently, I watched a rabid MK fan on You Tube rant uncontrolably on this last night...they're not pleased.

Mortal Kombat hasnt been relevent since about 1996. The fighting mechanics in the new games are terrible. Quite simply its as dated as John Connor in T2. Ed Boon is and Ass Candle. Wake me up when they announce Marvel Vs DC.
oh by nobletoast13	Apr 20th, 2008 06:11:32 AM
And one more thing. The thought of the Mortal Kombat characters (and I use that term VERY loosely) being mentioned in the same sentence. As Batman, Superman etc. Makes me throw up a bit in my mouth....and im not even into comics that much.

Boon is quoted as saying... by micturatingbenjamin	Apr 20th, 2008 09:01:14 AM
The DC heroes will have something like 'Finishers' rather than Fatalities. They won't behave 'out of character for superheroes'...The MK guys will have their Fatalities, and their Finisher for each superhero, so, Superman's not gonna die at the hands of Shang Tsung (Though that shit would be fucking hot ass tits.) And Ender, you and I see eye to eye on this...Batman WILL kick the shit out of these fags..and if there's someone from Midway looking at this, make him an alternate fucking Dark Knight Returns costume, all scraggly and shit, and it will be the perfect game for me. Admittedly, though, I'm a Batman fanboy...

am i the only one who remembers Raiden's "Superman" move? by GiLL	Apr 20th, 2008 01:38:56 PM
HAYABABALAYYYYYYY would be interesting to see him use it on the real Supes. oh yeah, and Raiden's more powerful than Superman. he's a god, after all. but whenever he fights in any of the MK games, he fights as a mortal and risks his life. i'm assuming they'd use some similar shit for the DC characters. all the MK games have some kind of merger with realms so the DC guys start losing abilities. i think it'll be Batman's game though, like MK1 was Sub-Zero's. he just seems too suited to both universes. though from what i remember, Sub turned good guy with amplified godlike powers from that medallion and was dressed up like Shredder from TMNT. Maybe he's as powerful as Iceman from the Marvel Universe. Either way, all the characters can mix easily with tweaking, the issue is the GAMEPLAY. I liked the 3D MK games' gameplay on paper... the idea of using real martial arts styles and switching inbetween them seemed cool and the interface was implemented alright but it wasn't fluid. if they can make the gameplay fluid and seem natural, as well as balance it while retaining the complexity of mixing 2-3 styles per fighter, it could be good.
graphics by GiLL	Apr 20th, 2008 01:41:16 PM
they need to release some promo in-game shots. Unreal Engine 3 is drop dead gorgeous and screenies would look beautiful. i don't understand why they haven't already.

SUPERMAN Should Only Fight God-Level Threats by LaserPants	Apr 20th, 2008 02:21:10 PM
Since he is essentially a god, its ludicrous to have him square off against anyone who isn't a god. That goes for comics, movies, cartoons, what have you. If he's fighting regular guys, its stupid. I mean, what would you do if Superman caught you being a bad guy? Fight him? Right.

Batman & MK Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by crackerfarmboy	Apr 20th, 2008 04:10:30 PM
I'm not much of a DC fan beyond Batman and his rogue gallery though. I have my doubts about this one, particularly the "T" rating. But if they amp up the gameplay, story, and the violence then it could be really awesome!
3D fighting games kinda suck for me... by Johnno	Apr 20th, 2008 04:11:33 PM
This game ought to be more like Marvel versus Capcom. In fact Capcom is doing the smart thing by keeping Street Fighter 4 traditional while updating the graphics with 3D! That's how it's done!
Fatalities by jmac4ever	Apr 20th, 2008 07:13:18 PM
I watched the interview with Boon and I don't think he meant that fatalities wouldn't be in the game at all. I think he meant that there wouldn't be any "stage" fatalities that would kill your opponent quickly even if you are losing big-time. Meaning that you wouldn't be able to throw Batman into a bunch of spikes and kill him, but that doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to perform fatalities after he's already beat.
DC, knows this is Mortal Kombat, right?!?! by Violator90	Apr 20th, 2008 07:34:08 PM
You know, Mortal Kombat. The bloody game with FATALITIES! The game with the grusome fighting! Ok, if DC is just too "motherly protective" over its characters. Fine. It's ok if DC can't stand the thought of having its heroes getting ripped apart and splattered all over the screen. I can take that DC doesn't have the nutsacks to really have their "gods" be totally 1-on-1 with some of the greatest characters in fighting games history. Cool. Don't do it with MK, go see if POKEMON is up to getting Pikachu and the rest of the pokemon having their asses handed to them even before anything is really set in stone. Hey, maybe Dr Suess is up for the Cat in the Hat vs. Batman. Damn! I'll buy that for a dollar!
There will be finishing moves, idiots by torgosPizza	Apr 20th, 2008 08:45:47 PM
You guys need to stop going berzerk at every little tidbit that gets dropped and stop asking like every out-of-context nugget is truth. "According to Boon, there will definitely be fatality-like finishing moves, but they may not be called fatalities. After all, it's doubtful that Superman or Batman would be ripping out anyone's spines or hearts.
