Is that all true?
Seriously, were they really afraid that a DC-only Fighting game would NOT sell?
Ninja Scooter said:from the video it looks like they're reusing the same ol' engine from last gen. Combat and graphics look the same. Thats a shame.
Totally different engine..Ninja Scooter said:from the video it looks like they're reusing the same ol' engine from last gen. Combat and graphics look the same. Thats a shame.
The other games had them (even bruises and cuts in their faces as the fight went on), this will too....Xater said:Yeah and how about some facial animations?
As a fighting game, yeah, I guess Deadly Alliance had better balance and a better move list. But MK4 felt like MK2.5 to me in a lot of ways, so nostalgia probably made me forgive its faults. It was just good, stupid, arcadey fun. Deadly Alliance also had the misfortune of being released right after Soul Calibur and Virtua Fighter 4 locked down the console fighting game market.De-mon said:Code:Best MKII MK4 (It's a good game!)

MK Deadly Alliance >>>>>> MK4
That depends though..SapientWolf said:As a fighting game, yeah, I guess Deadly Alliance had better balance and a better move list.

MK vs DC is going to have the same problem if it releases in 2008. It will be going toe to toe with SFIV and Soul Calibur IV.
Yes way! MK1 is too old now, I still love it but I'm not picking up my Game Gear version (since my Mega Drive is out of commision) anytime soon. I hated MK3's cast but UMK3 fixed that, but I've always liked MK4 better.Insane Metal said:wat
MK4 ahead of MK1, 3 and UMK3 :O
NO WAI DUDE
Deadly Alliance is shit, one of the worst collectaton games I've ever been hyped for. There was some awful combat engine in there somewhere.De-mon said:MK Deadly Alliance >>>>>> MK4
Prime crotch said:Until Tao Feng I've always thought John Tobias was the one responsible to make MK 2 so good, now I think it was some kind of weird combination between Boon and Tobias since they've never got it right again when working alone.
As far as favorite MK goes mine are:
Best
MKII
MK4 (It's a good game!)
UMK3
MK1 and Trilogy
MK3 (worst cast ever)
Armageddon
Deadly Alliance
Deception
Worst
SketchTheArtist said:After seeing those screengrabs from the trailer, I'm saddened that Street Fighter IV's the only 3D fighting game from the past few years with facial expressions.
Also, I need a new Killer Instinct. Stats!
EvilMario said:Agreed. Mortal Kombat II is by far the best, and Mortal Kombat 4 is actually a decent game. Not to mention having those terrific endings. I had fun with Ultimate Mortal Kombat, and Trilogy.. but after enough years of playing, the lack of quality even in the 'good' Mortal Kombats is very apparent.
The series created a few decent characters, but it's beyond repair now.
Dina said:How you guys score MK4 above any MK3 iteration is beyond me.
Street Fighter 2 alone outsold every MK game combined.fernoca said:That depends though..
On the mindset of the "hardcore gamer" yeah, SCIV, SFIV and VF5-R are going to be God inside a disc/Blu-Ray...while MK is shit. sucks, lame, whatever..
Yet, sales wise..MK never had any problems outselling them....we'll have to see if adding 'DC Universe' to the mix either helps it..or breaks it..
The high scores of these games were more due to all the little modes they put into them, ie puzzle mode, chess mode, story mode, etc. If the games were rated entirely by its fighting engine, they'd be way lower.Shockgamer said:According to metacritic:
MK: Deadly Alliance: 81, 81, 79
MK: Deception: 81, 81, 77
MK: Armageddon: 77, 75, 71
I dunno guys. Those scores aren't amazing, but don't jive with the current GAFpinion.
Maybe... Maybe... in the U.S., but total worldwide sales? I'd like to see some numbers as I'm pretty sure for all intents and purposes, MK doesn't even exist in Japan.fernoca said:That depends though..

btkadams said:ew.... defintiely not buying this. why cant they just make a new 2d mortal kombat.
Prime crotch said:This is why.
I'm not saying the game was bad, but it's far from being my favorite, it's more than just the awful new characters and removal of the old ones. The dial-in combo system sounded like a great idea but it was broken, since you could just mash your way into victory, but overall it just wasn't as appealing as MKII.Insane Metal said:Kabal is one of my favorite characters in the series. Strikers is a good one also. I really don´t understand this MK3 rant. Game is great, the combos system was a nice addition to the series and the best until now.
I got to agree, but damn that's harsh. :lol :loldisappeared said:The game looks awful, but you have to give credit to DC for allowing Midway to rip apart big name characters like Batman.

I liked MK better back when there weren't massive combo move lists to remember.Segata Sanshiro said:What baffles me is how people can call the recent games shitty while still praising the originals. The original MK games (YES EVEN MK2) were unbalanced and broken. The controls were passable but more than a little stiff in some aspects.
I'm curious as to what charges can be levied against the recent games that wouldn't apply equally strongly against the originals besides "I'm tired of MK" or "this isn't precisely the same game I played in my youth".
Uno Ill Nino said:I'm there. I think it'll be cool. Marvel vs Capcom made some boring Marvel characters suddenly come to life for me. Now maybe this MKvDC thing will do the same with DC characters.
