MK Fans: (apparently there are some out there)
- wasted oportunity to add new characters that belong to the MK world
- won't do anything innovative as a fighter- will almost certainly be 'toned down' to accomodate the expected crowds of dc fans rushing to buymust... resist... obvious... MK putdowns...
- not even the game the developers wanted to make; this has 'publisher dictated cash cow' written all over it
- you're getting this instead of a real MK game. Why wait until it gets released to get bitter / pissed / disapointed about that?
DC Fans:
- The DC licence gets second stringer status in the title, how the fuck do you think they're going to treat the characters?
- DC continuity takes another pasting... Earth MK? lawls.
- There's lots of companies out there who would love to make a decent DC game, but Midway are going to squeeze this turd out on an annual basis for the duration of the licence
- Is going to go lowest common denominator on character recognition and pick super heroes who would never dream of killing someone as it goes against their core belief systems (Superman, Batman) in a game all about killing someone just because you beat them in a fight. Now, if this game had picked characters who have no qualms whatsoever about killing off the opposition (Manhunter, Black Adam) you might have something interesting, but...
All good points, agree with you on all of them.
Regardless, still curious to see what a hi-def MK game will look like, perhaps they'll make an unrestricted version when this one bombs.
PS - The fighting system might actually be as good as the earlier ones, here's hoping!
