Fatalities Confirmed for Mortal Kombat vs DC

Well, finally, the fatalities are back.

"GameSpot: Have you made any more headway on the fatality versus finishing

Ed Boon: Yes we have. All of the MK characters and all of the DC villains will have fatalities. The DC heroes who don't kill that often will have brutalities that will function just like fatalities but don't actually kill the opponent."

[predator]

thank god

[MK_Red]

Thank God indeed.
I can finally perform fatality on Superman using Lex.

It's really cool that at least MK cast has fatalities. DC villains could have really sick ones too (I'm looking at Joker :D ).

[pharmd]

yeah, i couldnt see a game deserving MK in it unless it had fatalities, they are part of what made MK so awesome in its hay day

[Nevers]

Cuz a ton of people dropped interest in MK without FATALITY! Let alone that they were crossing universes... IMHO This is great news.

@MKRed> yeah Joker's gonna be sick...

????Have we heard of more chars? Bane? Doomsday? Riddler? Flash? Cat-Woman? etc?

[MK_Red]

pharmd, so true. Now at least the game partially deserves the name MK.

Nevers, yeah. A lot of people lost interest in the game after initial news but this might bring some back.
As for villains, no one is announced yet but hopefully Joker and Doomsday make it (I'd love to crushSuperman with Dooms!).

[sonarus]

awww mkred is happy again. MK vs DC can only be played on a playstation 3 due to the 360 silly d pad structure. When i push down sometimes it goes left and right WTF. Plus only the playstation 3 can fully realize Midway's vision for a 4d MK game

Vote sonarys for fanboy of the week:D

[juuken]

I'm glad too.

[InMyOpinion]

Lol!

You don't get my (dis)respect until I see your @ss in the open zone!

[P4KY B]

Who would win between batman and sub-zero?

I can't wait to find out.

[MK_Red]

True but I got a feeling that you'd be rooting for Batman. Just a wild guess :D

Scorpion and Sub-Zero for me. MK-Rules!

[wolfehound22]

Interesting when I first heard of MK vs DC I was like most of you WTF. Now as new details come out I get a little more interested. Fatalities is defiantly a plus in my book. This is on my list but defiantly its leaning more towards a rent. Lets hope it turns out great and gets some solid reviews. At the very least lets hope for a demo.

[MK_Red]

Well, even though I'm still hating Midway for betraying fans that have been waiting for ages for a true Mortal Kombat sequel and were promised a dark and gritty next-gen MK...
Lack of fatalities was BEYOND insulting. This is definitly a plus in my book too.

[MK_Red]

Time to rip Superman's spine out. Ok... I know DC won't allow that but still, being able to perform fatalities on DC heroes using villains like Joker an Lex Luther is definitly welcome.

[Nitrowolf2]

Thank you now i might purchase this game

[MK_Red]

1. Sic avy.
2. This is indeed good news and may increase this games status from rental to purchase though it's still pretty early to call it.

[dachiefsman]

Question how can you have fatalities with a TEEN rating? or at least GOOD fatalities.

had to do my Dwight Schrute for the day.

[MK_Red]

lol, they might put a huge black box in front of the fatality with whtie censored words on it!

Or may go the SNES way and use black & white fatals :D

[Fishy Fingers]

First time we get a HD Mortal Kombat and they go and tone it down. Still not happy about that.

[MK_Red]

I'm with you Fishy Fingers. With Unreal Engine 3 that the game uses, it could have been goriest and most satisfying MK to date...

Still, some fatalities is better than no fatalities. Also, Boon as confirmed that after this he will make a proper and pure MK game. One that will push the limits of M rating.

[Fishy Fingers]

Really?!?! Can you link me bro?

Silly though, him saying that completely puts me off wanting to buy this, should I bide my time and hold out, or should I risk the Mk/DC that might leave a nasty taste in my mouth?

Early days, but I think I'm going to need a demo.

~side note~ played MK1 on PS3 last night against some guy online, I like to think I'm "alright" at it, beat me 25-3 o_O

[xionpunk]

WHoa whoa whoa... you can play the original MK with online multiplayer? That's pretty friggin sweet.

[MK_Red]

Don't know where was the link but it was in one of the early interviews. Crispy Gamer or GT interview.

Also, good work on MK1. I can hardly win against normal AI let alone real opponents. So much for someone with MK in his username :)

xionpunk, I think he's using one of the MK games from fan community. They have released all original 3 with multiplayer as fan projects.

[cr33ping_death]

now...this just got interesting :)

[Mwaan]

But they better bring back Kung Lao. It looks like they're only bringing back characters that would be good rivals to DC characters. Is there a DC character that would be a good rival to Kung Lao?

[ChampIDC]

They'd probably have to do MK vs. James Bond Universe and have him fight Oddjob =D

[Mwaan]

Kung Lao would own him!

[TrevorPhillips]

Yay fatalities is back now im buying this game for sure :)

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

wouldnt one punch from him be a fatality already?

[dachiefsman]

I could wish!

[Polluted]

Yup. Modern Superman is pretty godlike, but old school Superman used to get phased by things like tear gas. So maybe it's old school Sups. He was pretty weak in the Bruce Timm cartoons too.

[TheWiseguy]

you guys need to read! DC Villains and MK Characters will have fatalities....DC Heroes will not. You will not be ripping limbs off with Batman and Superman.

[Wolf873]

that DC Heroes who don't kill will NOT perform "Fatalities" but will have "Brutalities". He doesn't mentions that you can't perform fatality ON DC Heroes.

[ChampIDC]

I have a feeling they're not going to want to kill superheroes, though. People that grew up with them would probably not be too keen with that. I guess we'll find out for sure soon enough.

[Mighty Boom]

But the game is still a T-rating. Although Boon says he pushing the T-envelope. Like I said, good news but Im still a little wary.

[ChampIDC]

I guess if it's T rating, then they're going to have stuff like Scorpion burn people, Sub-Zero freeze and shatter (with no blood), and other similar things. Personally, I want to see Superman punch somebody and send them over the horizon. That would be epic.

[Old Snake]

This sounded stupid in the first place. Superman and Batman in a fighting game? None the less Mortal Kombat, the most gruesome fighting game ever.

[TrevorPhillips]

Mortal kombat vs DC Universe i hope they make Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter now that's interesting :) that's only if it ever happens :)

[LostChild]

There will have to be two games of MK vs SF

MK vs SF made by Midway with Fatalities because it is a MK game and
SF vs MK made by Capcom with the New SFIV animation no Fatalities because it is a SF game. This is the only way I see this working out for both parties.

Back on topic. YAY! Fatalities are back...somewhat. Good news indeed.

[Altis1]

I hope this now will get an M rating.

[etownone]

oks, this game is back on "must buy" list.

I decided not to buy at first when i heard no fatalities.

hhmm.... now what about soul caliber? still not a must buy for me....i own a 360, and i want to be able to unlock or download Vador, so I can have matches of Vador vs. Yoda.... and i'm sure if you own a ps3, you'd want to download or unlock Yoda so you can whip his little green butt all over the place using Vador.

Those two are two of the most definitive characters in the star wars universe plus one represents the 360 and the other a ps3.

[Ri0tSquad]

And knowing Midway it'll be another broken Mortal Kombat game under their belt.

[Mutley416]

Finish HIM!!!

[Enigma_2099]

Mortal Kombat without fatalties... what the hell were they smoking?
