Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

Post by Senor_Grunt »

Saw this in the June 8th Xbox Magazine. I can't fucking wait!!
Xbox Magazine wrote:"I grew up reading comic books and clearly remember when the Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man comic came out," says Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon. "I could barely contain myself, because a crossover was something I never thought I'd see."
No doubt MK fans are thinking the same thing right now. With Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe leaping from rumor to Unreal Engine 3-powered reality in a single bound (the image here was rendered in-engine), is Sub-Zero really going to show Batman his own spine? "DC has been really good at letting us do our thing, but they obviously have to protect their properties as well," explains Boon. "I don't suspect they would have been too keen on us ripping Batman's head off!"
And while writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, fresh from DC's Countdown mega-series, are making sure the story jives with comic lore, we can't help but wonder how the hell these two worlds are compatible. "They are not compatible!" agrees Boon. "Thats what makes this pairing so exciting, and that's part of the conflict when they meet. Each side looks at the other as the enemy, which is cause for a lot of the discord they face. As far as the game is concerned, since it's being designed by the Mortal Kombat team, you can expect a good amount of brutality in it. We Definitely want to push the envelope, but again, we aren't going to have Superman rip Sub-Zero's arms off....as much as we'd love to!"
That was taken from Xbox magazine. This is the image they were referring to:

No.
There are no fatalities.
They are selling out.

$5 to the first person to get me a model/texture extractor.

WHAT?!
I thought it was just the DC characters having no fatalities?

Edit:

You're right. Damnit.

I only the mortal kombat that was on the sega mega-drive (that the right one?). I've had no interest since then. I also don't have any interest in comic books at all.

So this isn't a good mix. If it were two brutal fighting games against eachother it could work out. But the no fatalities just to help "preserve" these characters kinda sucks.

Killing superman without kryptonite or ripping out batmans heart would be fun.

Armageddon took out character fatalities anyway, so I don't see what's new about MK sucking.
