Ed Boon Reveals Cancelled Mortal Kombat: Fire & Ice

This has to be one of the biggest injustices against Mortal Kombat fans. Well, other than the actual games post-Mk3, as well as the atrocious spinoff brawlers MK mythologies and Special Forces.

Series Co-creator Ed Boon has revealed that a co-operative game featuring the series stalwarts ninjas – Sub Zero and Scorpion was cancelled. It was to be made by the guys who developed the underrated, but pretty darn good God of War-esque Shaolin Monks.

Wtf? You guys scrapped this, but did MK V DC? What the f*ck? As much as I love DC I am puzzled right now.

MK vs. DC sold over 2 million copies and is one of the most successful Mortal Kombat games released on a financial standpoint. The Dark Knight made Batman "cool again" for the masses and Warner Brothers helped out with marketing so it was a smart decision to make the game at the time for Midway. MK games usually sell over 1 million units.

Regardless, this was being made by their San Diego studio not the Chicago one so I doubt the game had much of an impact.

Ed Boon tweeted this so I'm sure there is more to the story.

Correction - Heath Ledger made Batman cool again :P

Blaine5406d ago

Christopher Nolan made Batman cool again.

Dragun6195406d ago

Correction: Batman was always cool.

Ninjews5406d ago

Correction- oh wait that's right.

zeeshan5406d ago

I know this probably won't ever happen again but I loved Shaolin Monks and I wish that they'll make a MK:SM2 some time in the future!

"Correction - Heath Ledger made Batman cool again"

yes.. by dying like a pathetic drug addict before movie release.. DK was boring as hell.. but hey the dude died lets hype his mediocre performance

omi25p5406d ago

he died a drug addict? wrong he was taking the pills to carm him down and he over dosed he wasnt addicted and arent you brave abusing the dead. piece of shit.

NeloAnjelo5406d ago

STFU and speak of something you know about. People like you two can only watch mindless bull. Nolan and his brother created the Joker's image which Ledger pertrayed perfectly... and he wasn't an addict...FACT!

I guess you prefer "better" films like Iron man 2, and transformers 2... all style, no substance... GTFO. Joker, Batman, the whole story matched the comic book world with films perfectly. Something not many other films have done. Go read The Dark Knight Returns, Dark Victory, The Man who Laughs... etc... Oh sorry that might be a bit too hard... Stop dishing insults like its a competition. Two can play at that game. If your puny mind can understand it, go watch a little film called Mememto by the same director. Stop critising something because you didn't understand it.

Omegasyde5406d ago

Then why the hell did Heath Ledger win an Oscar for Best supporting Actor?

Don't tell me it was because he died because many actors/actresses died during a movie year and won jack squat.

And honestly the Joker made the movie great. Just look at this scene:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

He even does magic in it.

PS360PCROCKS5406d ago

insulting the dead? especially with insults that aren't even true? You obviously don't enjoy great films, because the dark knight is one of the best movies i've ever seen. There is a reason it has a 94% on rotten tomatoes. It's universally regarded as the best comic book movie ever made, and it made A BILLION DOLLARS. Heath Ledgers performance was incredible, if you can't respect that I feel sorry for you.

darren_poolies5405d ago

After what you have just said, I kinda hate you right now. :)

AssassinHD5405d ago

If by "mediocre performance" you mean "flawless performance" then I totally agree with you. Oh and if by "boring as hell" you mean "incredibly entertaining, thanks largely to Heath Ledger's performance" then I also totally agree with you.

I think they are retarded. Two of the most popular characters in a Shoalin Monk type of game would have been bad ass.

ReBurn5406d ago

I feel like there hasn't been a true Mortal Kombat game since the series went to textured polygon models for the characters. Man how I loved going to the arcade and feeling the floor shake from the sounds of the pounding hits and cracking bones coming out of the Mortal Kombat II machine. It was so awesome for its time.

I wish they could recreate that feeling with a new title.

Scrooge5406d ago

Actually, MK: Deception was pretty good, definitely the best so far among the polygon generation. I agree with you though, it was fun being a kid and getting excited over the arcades.

Omegasyde5406d ago

Armageddon was ok... but the create-a-fatatilty was really cheesy and you could tell that the developers were more for quantity over quality.

If anything, go back to the MK3 finisher forumula, were everyone had 2 fatalities (some 3?), a friendship, and a animality.

Leave the babytalities out of course, and replace them with deceptions suicides (Hara-Kiri) which are really funny.

Also quan-chi was a decent bad guy but pales in comparison to the shao kahn. That dragon God in Armageddon was also cheesy.

Snakefist305406d ago (Edited 5406d ago )

DAM It wud be an awesome playing scorpion and subzero together in coop it wud Much better than shoalin monks.The game would be BAD ASS!!!

R2D25406d ago (Edited 5406d ago )

I remember that little prick would pop up on the right hand of my screen in order to unluck smoke.

Am I the only one who thinks that most mortal Kombat charater all look the same. Look at sub-zero and scoprion - Millena and Kitana - Barraka and Kano Riden and the dude that has the jigsaw hat.

Jamegohanssj55406d ago

ROFLMFAO! Don't talk aboot Noob like that >>.

Coming from a Street Fighter fan, it isn't any different on Street Fighter's end. Ken, Ryu, Akuma, Gouken, Dan, Sakura, etc. all have the same moves.

Been there since day 1, and the first beta, same with GW2. 20 years and they never said oh now we need to charge a monthly fee, and they only made Guild Wars no other games. I'm going to assume GW3 will have the same business model.

I got to 50 I believe but never got into it very much.It was fun but all of my friends were still playing EQ. Good to see it’s still going though.

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos4d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto4d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba4d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz3d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u3d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
