Rumor Mill: Next Mortal Kombat to be a 'Versus' Title?

I'm a big MK fan, and I hope this rumor isn't true. I don't think MK makes a good match up with super hero games.

What is going to be the fatality on Superman, find some kryptonite and stab him with it?

I disagree

Bring back digitized characters with HD Graphics... That's what I would like to see beying made.

I REALLY miss how MK feels when playing MK1 and MK2, especially the more realistic and less colorfull MK1 version. And it felt like a real tournament.


This is Mortal Kombat

No way this happens, flat out. It doesn't make any sense. And the idea that they would go away from fatalities and the extreme violence is just ridiculous. Not going to happen.

They already have a very good cast of characters with good story lines. It just wouldn't really make sense. I can see them starting over with all new characters, but I would bet they would throw in a few of the classics. But a versus game? Doesn't make any sense.
 
I personally think MK crossover with DC, marvel, or any fighting game franchise sounds incredibly retarded and can't possibly fit in at all.

Edit: Dark Horse's properties may work though.
 
I'm guessing MK vs Unreal/Epic, since Ed Boon mentioned a Gears-alike gritty artstyle, and I recall MK characters appearing in Unreal Championship 2 previously.

What are some recognizable characters in the Unreal/Epic-verse?

All he did was write the story...which was laughable at best.
WRONG. Tobias designed the fighting engine and worked on character/level design for MK1, 2 and 3. Nice try tho.
 
*******'s picture for their post on the rumor really nails how I feel about this idea.

edit: Joystick is a good blog. It's stupid to ban a good blog.
 
Wouldn't it be awesome if it was really Mortal Kombat Vs. Street Fighter? I mean logically they would have to go back to 2D and then maybe it would be a good game again.


However, I have a feeling its Mortal Kombat Vs. Tekken
 
MK with no fatalities? Ok, any interest that would have been had in seeing a new iteration of the series has now evaporated.
