Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski is one of the most outspoken developers on Twitter. He's fun to follow, as his humor and enthusiasm for games makes him often seem more like another fan of games than a developer. Today, he had an exchange about the possibility of putting a Gears of War character in the legendary Mortal Kombat fighting franchise.
Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
The fighting genre is full of mini-games, from Street Fighter's car destruction to Tekken Ball. Here's the best Mortal Kombat mini games.
Cultured Vultures: We've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games across the series' history. Special Forces is clearly number one.
My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.
MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.
I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
Then you gotta pay up.
Look I like This guy ...But Nobody is as badass as Kratos... That would be so sick to be able to BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF A CHARACTER SO HARD IT TURNS THE SCREEN RED WITH BLOOD!
also I dont think any of the gears games can even touch the quality of GOW story wise... but thats just my opinion... Why is gears a AAA game all of a sudden? Is it because its the only recognizable game out for the 360 next year? I could not stand its story and its online was unplayable and not enough players to be on par with Killzone... The same was the problem with other games like Battlefield bc2 and Uncharted 2 so im not a fanboy here Im just exposing the fanboys... The game wont be half as good as Killzone and resistance Im in the Killzone Beta and it is the best FPS I HAVE EVER PLAYED....I know the fsnboys will disagree But Im all out of bubbles anyway!
They should put the Berserker in as a Boss type character, would be awesome!
Eh...Someone from Gears in MK? I just cant see the mix coming out good. Kratos makes sense hes a plain and simple no mercy rip your spinal cord/head off dude. Kratos always had that gore and tone of MK to him. The guys in gears are more like hey i got this gun with a chainsaw on it and im gonna shoot you up.
oh ohhhhhhhh let the blood bath beginssssssssssss.......fanboy warssssssssssssssssss
