Who will care? THE GAMERS WHO WANT MK, THAT'S WHO! Mortal Kombat is pretty much just as needed as Street Fighter is in the fighting genre. Sure, Midway has produced a lot of miss games, but when they hit, it's good. Every other publisher which ever existed has had many flops, so for the author to come out and say "who cares?" is beyond stupid.

I wish they would make a good MK game again.

Mortal Kombat vs Killer Instinct o_o

DC VS MK ruined it for me and how can u sell a MK title with a "T" rating? Teen rating defeats the whole purpose behind the game. What were u thinking Ed Boon?

Gamers will care, Midway has plenty of awesome franchise, there problems were they didn't have the budget to polish them up or the skill to advertise them well. With Warner Brothers they get both, I'm confident they will do better now.

Look at Atari under Warner, that was some of Atari's most profitable years. Warner knows what they are doing, the problem is they have a track record of bailing when times are tough.

@redbadger: Was it Boon who made the call of a T rating? I have a feeling it was more like publishers and whatnot. The DC owners and publisher of MKvsDC were probably the ones pushing for a T, just so that the DC characters wouldn't get brutalized during a fight, or become too violent when doing their finishers. Just imagine if Wonder Woman used her Golden La-so (sp?) as a fatality, wrapping around an opponent so tight, their abdomen caves in and explodes! Or Batman using a baterang to decapitate/dismember his enemies. THAT, in my book, would/SHOULD have been what MKvsDC became, instead of a watered-down version of a fighter KNOWN for brutality.
@Murderdolls: That line-up would be a sure hit with EVERYONE who has ever played either MK or KI. They are similar enough to be in the same type of fighting game, yet different enough to not feel repetitive and keep the PLAYERS on their toes (not fighting the same MK characters over and over.)
And finally, @Eleven6: WB should be wise to what an MK title needs. Just because ultra-violence (Clockwork Orange reference) is not the MASS appeal of all gamers, there is a HUGE majority who look for more in a fighter than just SF-type moves and opponents. Cash cows may be great for a while, but after the MKvsDC debacle, WB needs to be sure that their leverage and say in what they are publishing does not step on the toes of the devs. Taking the game back to its roots would be ideal for both Midway and WB.

WB will turn MK into an even larger turd than it already is, and that is no way for the series to end.

just look at that game. It returned to the old ways which is still fun. I say that they should return MK to the 2d style fighting game with 3D visuals, and outrageous gore level, one heck of a dark story...music that actually fits the game like in the days of MK 1-3.
