Bleszinski Wants to See a Gears of War Character In Mortal Kombat

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.

[ComboBreaker]

Then you gotta pay up.

[MAJ0R]

is he just saying that because Kratos is being featured in it?

[Active Reload]

"None of the characters in Gears of War are iconic enough to be in Mortal Kombat."

What does iconic mean to you? I find it rather ironic you say this when Kratos has been included in MK. Kratos does fit in MK better than a Gears character...for the moment. But to me iconic in video games is paralleled with sales and Gears does more numbers that God of War. Meaning more people are familiar and like Gears.

[SMOK3xFFx]

I dunno man a Chainsaw fatality could be pretty nice.

[ExplosionSauce]

Umm sales don't exactly mean "iconic".
The character also has to fit in to the genre.

[Active Reload]

"Kratos does fit in MK better than a Gears character...for the moment."

In case you missed it. Read the whole comment instead of what "you" want to read.

And I was pointing out that that person might've used the wrong word to describe why Gears wouldn't fit in MK. A blind man could see he was trying to discredit Gears as a whole. Who wouldn't want God of War to do the numbers Gears does? ;)

[gamingdroid]

'Umm sales don't exactly mean "iconic".'

Actually, iconic means recognition and high sales number does indicate "iconic".

[Man In Black]

"What does iconic mean to you? I find it rather ironic you say this when Kratos has been included in MK. Kratos does fit in MK better than a Gears character...for the moment. But to me iconic in video games is paralleled with sales and Gears does more numbers that God of War. Meaning more people are familiar and like Gears."

Gears may sell more, but Kratos is more recognisable than any individual Gears character. I think that's what he meant.

[Theonik]

Cliffy is jealous. He mad.
Sorry, Cliff GeOW fits MK even less than GoW does. Not to mention Kratos is more brutal :P

[ShinMaster]

Then Mario would make a perfect addition.
Because, you know, he's much more iconic.

/s

[DasBunker]

Kratos fits because hes somehow a mythical character kinda like some in MK universe.. plus hes brutal..

what are the roided dumb@$$'s from gears without teh shanezaws guns?... it would be stupid if they included what his name? joaquin phoenix?

[Longrod_Von_Hugendon]

Me too! Me too! So sad. lol

[darthv72]

it started with soul calibur on ps2, gc and xbox. Moved up to DOA having a halo character. Namco did the old yoda/vader thing for their respected platforms (i know its not the same but...)

So MK will have kratos in it. I would garner that it wont be in the 360 version (lol if it is). So maybe putting in something more iconic to the 360 is doable.

What's so wrong with a Gears guy? Or better yet...instead of a chainsaw fatality. You get that homing nuclear beacon beam thing (name escapes me, sorry) that radiates a focused beam on your opponent.

That would be AWESOME!

[gamingdroid]

"Then Mario would make a perfect addition.
Because, you know, he's much more iconic.

/s"

I did NOT proclaimed that any iconic character would fit into the MK universe.

I simply said there is a correlation between iconic and sales. Not how you drew that conclusion from what I said....

[Ju]

One is a hack-n-slash character the other one from a shooter. Maybe if there would be some great hand-to-hand combat in Gears it would be more fitting?

[karl]

kratos is the only one who can fit mortal kombat... everytime he fights someone in all the GOW games he ends the fight with a fatality

we all seen that.. now what other character does a fatality in every fight he has besides kratos.. that its not in the MK universe?

anyone? =D

[Lightsaber]

GoW characters work better in MK the that crappy GooW guy who is just a rip off of Qu'an Chi. Ed Boon even said before that he was inspired to make a darker MK cause GoW.

Personally I think RAAM would fit great in to MK

"homing nuclear beacon beam thing (name escapes me, sorry)"

I think your talking about the Dawn hammer

[ChickeyCantor]

" But to me iconic in video games is paralleled with sales and Gears does more numbers that God of War"

Our definitions don't mean a sh/t.
Its about THE definition.

Kids these days.

[Masamori Sumimura]

Cliff jealous that kratos is in MK? if I ask him if he would like one of his characters to be in the game on twitter and he answer me yes. Wtf does this have to do with jealousy or loving his games too much? You guys have effed up way of thinking seriously. biased mofo

[darthv72]

Yeah. the hammer of dawn. I dont care if the hand to hand is crap for a gears player in an MK game. They did do choke holds and close combat kicks and beat downs but ultimately they could use the chain saw and or the hammer of dawn for a fatality.

Picture it, the opponent is standing there all wobbly and in that moment to do a fatality. The gears guy pulls out the hammer of dawn and locks on to the other guy. Then you see this massive beam of energy just frying the opponent from above.

With what it can do to a berzerker I can see it doing to sub zero or raiden.

[ReBurn]

As I think back to Soul Calibur 2 and think of Link in the Gamecube version, all I can say is that this statement is right in principle, but in practice it doesn't necessarily apply.

Marcus Fenix would fit into Mortal Kombat just as well as Sonya Blade or Johnny Cage would, especially if fighting on the side of humanity.

[Biggest]

Why are people so opposed to Dictionary.com? Iconic does not have anything to do with sales. Michael Jackson is an icon. If you saw a silouette of him toe touching his loafers, you would know it was him. If you saw the number 109,000,000+ you would not know what it was for (estimated sales of Thriller). Kratos on his own in recognizable by the general gaming community. The general gaming community doesn't know any of the characters in Gears of War on their own. The Gears franchise may be iconic as a franchise. None of the characters are distinguishable by the general gaming community, and therefore not iconic.

Edit: Please remember that you don't get to change the definition of words to suit you. Your opinion doesn't matter.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

HE'S JEALOUS

[Army_of_Darkness]

I'm down;).... It's just to bad they're exclusive charaters to they're respected consoles...

[HolyOrangeCows]

There's already a GOW character in Mortal Kombat :)

Generic muscles with guns don't belong in fighting games.

[cooperdnizzle]

Active Reload. Iconic has nothing to do with sales! Kratos is more iconic than any of the characters in gear or war. He is the star of the game in which he is featured. There is a hole cast of characters in gears of war. And more so he is actually character, he has a personality unlike the characters in gears of war. And last he is actually huge face of the PlayStation brand, has been around a lot longer than any character from gears of war. Now don't get me wrong i love gears of war. Not for the story single player or the characters but for the amazing online game play. The charaters in gears of war, suck balls, and that is telling the truth. Plus god of war has actually sold more than gears. God of war has five games out and gears only has two. So you loose there too.

[SixZeroFour]

if stryker can be in it with his weapons, then im sure gears characters fit in aswell...however, their physique doesnt exactly match, might have to tone down the muscles a bit

[darthv72]

Like biggest stated. Iconic has nothing to do with sales numbers.

Master Chief is iconic. He would be easily recognized even by those who never played his games.

Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man. Those are just a few of gamings iconic characters. Marcus Fenix...not so much but could be depending on how much Epic and MS whore him out.

Can anyone tell me who this "iconic" figure might be?

[ShinMaster]

I hope Kratos gets the Cestus!

[Lightsaber]

Darth I still think RAAM be cooler he had all those Kryll with him. He Could summon them and have them ripping the fresh right off of someone or could have a finish move where he start to want away then a Berserker runs in and crushes the person. The hoard have a lot of very cool and nasty looking thinks you can work with.

[No Way]

I would LOVE Mario in Mortal Kombat!!!!! :D

But, nawh, really.. I don't think a Gears character would fit in well.
However, I think Kratos wouldn't differ too much from others.

In fact, he kinda reminds me alot of Quan Chi.

[Bereaver]

None of the characters in GeOW have the right aura for Mortal Kombat. If he truly means what he says, then it appears he doesn't know much about mortal kombat.

Unless he's not talking the good guys.

[Coffin87]

GeOW characters are not iconic at all. They're placeholders for brutal things you can do, placeholders for a big guy with a big gun and a big chainsaw. They're an avatar, completely exchangeable - exchanging them wouldn't change anything at all, noone would even notice a difference.

Kratos is a LEGEND, he stands for something, he has character, his face stands for countless painful things he has not only done but also experienced himself.
He is like 100 times deeper than all of the GeOW characters put together.

EDIT: @1.1.29
I really hope you're a fucking troll.

[Shepherd 214]

Actually if you guys are saying Kratos should be in MK because he is iconic, then Master Chief destroys Kratos in every sense of the word "Iconic". Chief has been around longer, sold more copies, and has enjoyed the same great reviews that Kratos has.

So for anyone who is downing Cliffy wanting a Gears character in MK, watch what you say.

Btw, its great to see Kratos in MK, but you people need to quick puckering your assholes and sipping your vinegar. It would be great to have huge characters from different franchises, including Gears.

[No Way]

I'm really not sure what your post directed towards me is about..
Can you honestly tell me the two do not look similar?

All I'm saying..
Is they needa do something about Kratos, to make him different.

[ShinMaster]

For all we know, Master Chief doesn't have any flesh.
And that'd be lame in Mortal Kombat. It would mean he'd have to remove the armor and helmet for him to work.

NICE TRY though.

Doesn't matter how much more iconic you think he is. He still doesn't work for that type of game. Period. Common sense.

[Shepherd 214]

First of all, Master Chief does have flesh. The official novels explain his origins and they are very good. Pick them up. And if that isnt enough, when you die in the games as Master Chief, blood comes out of him. Do the research before going into geeky specifics, because you wont win like that.

Anyways, my point is that no one here cares whether a Gears character would work in MK, they are bashing Cliffy and Gears in general.

No one here is saying "Hey, Gears is great! But that just wouldnt fit in MK." They are saying "Cliffy is a big mouth and Jaffe isnt! Gears isnt that great anyway. blah bloo blee blah".

Get it? Nice try though.

[ShinMaster]

I wasn't the one who just went into "geeky specifics".

[BiggCMan]

I think Cliffy loves his game too much. None of the characters in Gears of War are iconic enough to be in Mortal Kombat. Above all though, it wouldn't make much sense. The characters don't use combat, they use guns with the occasional curb stomp. A character from Dead or Alive would fit better for the Xbox version. And Kratos for the PS3 version.

[ExplosionSauce]

Plus, I think Marcus would have to get rid of his armor to be able to Kombat with the rest of the characters haha

[theonlylolking]

Cliffy is too cocky too.

[theIMP]

@ the_only_lol_king, really? I want to know what you think of David Jaffe? I hear people dis Cliffy all the time on this site, but the same people always talk about Jaffe like he's not the biggest douche in the world. I'm not saying you feel that way, I was just curious. Your thoughts? I personally think they would both be cool to hang out with, but out of the two, Jaffe is a much more cocky, yet every time an article shows up on here about him, there's 1,000 people on here,with his d!ck in thier mouth.

[the_1080p_guy]

I think we are forgetting the most important thing : Gears of war characters cant jump, u know kratos can actually double jump with Icarus wings and shit...

[No Way]

"Gears of war characters cant jump"
That's what they say about white boys..

^_^

[Kurt Russell]

Put General RAAM in Moooooooooooortal Kombat!!!

[Cheeseknight28]

Gears of War is a good franchise sure, but none of the characters are a good fit for Mortal Kombat. I can't really think of too many Xbox characters that would work for a brutal game like this. Maybe Saren?

[ceedubya9]

When i think about characters like Jax, Sonya, and the cyborg ninjas that have been in the MK series throughout the years, i'd think a character from Gears wouldn't have too much of a problem fitting in.

[Cheeseknight28]

But all the characters in Mortal Kombat can jump 6 feet and do backflips. Marcus Fenix... can't.

[NeutralGamer]

Now I know that Dead Rising is not a xbox exclusive, but maybe Frank West?

But I know that capcom cant make a character apear in another game as cameo..

They wanna do a whole Capcom vs. Mortal Kombat..

[typikal82]

I dunno how I would feel about the butch woman that is Marcus in the game

[TheBand1t]

As I said below, that dude from the 2nd game with the chainsaw spear (the boss) would probably be a good match. Or an Elite from Halo.

[ExplosionSauce]

[removed]

[Bull5hifT]

Yeah and they need mastercheif, and super mario, and zelda and donkey kong and CJ from san andreas and that Mass EFfeckt GUy, and yo momma , and wario, and nathan drake and some COD charcter with a Fawkz hawk and a Killzone 2 character with a Fawkx hawk, and Cole from infamous, and call it , Fugg'N ePIK BatTle 9000

[dgonza40]

lol i would actually buy that game, and they better keep that damn title.

Characters from console exclusive games going at it sounds cool

[Kurt Russell]

Day 1 purchase

[NiiGhTx]

Oh snap! Bleszinski and Active Reload are jealous

[Christopher]

Usually people wait to be asked to have a character in another game. I highly doubt the MK team was paid to put Kratos in the game. Kratos fits in perfectly with the MK theme and they're doing it as fan service, nothing else. A game revolving around shooting things isn't likely to have a character that fits in with tournament combat. Maybe in a Marvel vs Capcom type of game, though.

[UnbiasedTroll]

good idea.

Kratos - PS3.

Gears Of War Character - Xbox 360.

All though Gears Of War characters are shooter type, Kratos seems to fit MK exactly.

[No Way]

He does fit exactly.. but, he's already in!

Meet Quan Chi, UnbiasedTroll. (click picture.)

That being said, if they put Kratos in..
I hope they at least change his weapons.
The swords would resemble Quan Chi, too much.

[lazysey]

Mii 2 cliffy .... mii 2 ...

[xAlmostPro]

kratos would own the gears characters anyways :)

[MisterNiwa]

Well, I'd like Dom chainsawing through Bakara.

[JUDALATION]

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!

[WetN00dle69]

Ummmm.........yeah whatever helps you sleep better........i doubt you have ever touched a Gears game before. Your Wall of text rant says it all, you seem to be more of a fanboy than a multiplat gamer. I liked Both Gears just as much as i liked KILLZONE and God Of War games.

[dragon82]

I am a multi-platform gamer and I have to say I agree with him. Gears just doesn't do it for me. Neither does Halo these days. I used to love playing Halo 2 all day long with friends but the newer ones just don't do it for me anymore. I think Killzone 3 and Resistance 3 will both be better than Gears 3. It probably wont stop me from buying Gears 3 though. If not I might not have much to play on my 360 next year ad I buy all multi-platform games on PS3 for the trophies.

[Active Reload]

^^^^^^^^^^^
When has Resistance ever been as good as Gears?

[NeutralGamer]

Whos more badass than Kratos?

Batman lol...

[ExplosionSauce]

Since when have the two games been comparable.

[nycredude]

Just a thought. If reading his posts give you a sore head, maybe you should stop reading them then?

OT: I don't see how a Gears character would work in a fighting game.

[Active Reload]

Yeah dude, the ignore button is your friend =)

[Tainted Gene]

Not to anyone particular...

but it seems that everyone has forgotten about Stryker from MK3 adn UltMK3. He was a cop/security officer; he used a baton, grenades and even had a semi automatic pistol.

Marcus, Cole, or etc could easily fit into MK games if characters such as cyrax, jax, styker, or even sektor made it. (note: each of these guys had a projectile ballistic weapon/move. But that doesn't have to be a requirement).

[BiggCMan]

This was seriously off topic. So far off topic, it made him look like a fool.

[ExplosionSauce]

Nvm

[UnbiasedTroll]

lol @ Judalation so much fail.

@NeutralGamer

Wesker

[Bloodlyte]

They should put the Berserker in as a Boss type character, would be awesome!

[KillerPwned]

That i could see for like a bonus type of deal i think that would work.

[KillerPwned]

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.

[WetN00dle69]

Thats true, good ol Kratos is a close combat killing machine while the peeps in GEARS are Long to Mid Range combat specialists. They wont fit in.

[TheMutator]

oh ohhhhhhhh let the blood bath beginssssssssssss.......fanboy warssssssssssssssssss

[blasian]

I havent played gears so idk if they have a character that does what kratos does. I mean Kratos fits perfectly with the gut ripping and head tearing. If Gears does have such a character then why not.

[I Call 9MM]

Reminds me of what happened when Soul Caliber 2 came out last generation, each console got an exclusive character.

This time around, we'll probably end up seeing at least one exclusive in each version of the new Mortal Kombat. Really, God of War is a given for a PS3 exclusive, and for the 360, I think a Gears character would be a decent fit. They already did a Halo spartan in another cameo, Dead or Alive 4 I believe, Gears works here. Sure makes more sense than say, Banjo Kazooie.

[theonlylolking]

I would rather have master chief in mortal kombat than any gears character.

[Dark360]

General Raammmmm....

Microsoft,Epic and Mortal Kombat team. Make this happen.

[GoldPS3]

Did he just say Midway is dead? LOL now he has to pay alot for that comment even though it is true. Gears isn't related to MK at all. Just add Dante. 360 don't have any character that is badass like Kratos.

[Silly gameAr]

Get General RAAM in that b***h.

[Dark-Cloud4]

i don't think this is a good idea ...

[ijkabob]

I've played a little gears with my housemate. I just can't see any of those characters fitting in. They seemed to generic, mind you I only played like 5 levels or so on the second Gears, but I don't recall any real characterization. They seemed like generic soldiers. And i don't think they would fit into the mortal combat universe.

And the most obvious thing is that they arn' mellee fighters...

As much as i'd love to see characters crossing over i don't think this one would work out at all.

[Arup02]

General Raam

Case Closed

[mcmmaster]

I reckon a locust would suit the game fine, maybe RAAM, because we don't really see the Cogs use fists do we, we always see Locust torturing, ripping arms off, stomping on heads, etc

[Dark-Cloud4]

i don't think this is a good idea ... if they put gears character then i want sackboy in little big planet :D , imagin what sackboy do xD

[mcmmaster]

you mean you want sackboy in mortal kombat
FAIL

[Dark-Cloud4]

it's a joke XD

[theonlylolking]

sackboy can slap to death

[xtremeimport]

all gears characters do is wear bulky armor and shoot people.

how would they make good characters in MK?

[TheMutator]

your display picture says all

[visualb]

not really...thats a helghast soldier, and although THE icon for KZ franchise, they aren't main characters like all the bulky armour wearing characters in Gears.

to compare a helghast soldier is to compare the bad guys in Gears, which tbh, are also far more interesting than the main characters imho =)

[Der_Kommandant]

Dom's Wife vs Kratos!

[outwar6010]

LOOOOOLLLLZZZ that would be hilarious her fatality would be to turn to ash that covers kratos to give him a more healthy complexion

[Snakefist30]

HAHAHAAHAHA!!!

[AKissFromDaddy]

Characters from shooter genres do not fit as characters in fighter genre. It's still weird, for me, to see & play as Master Chief or whatever that thing is in Dead Or Alive 4. Just sharing my thoughts.

PS. Skorge, from Gears of war 2, maybe a suitable character but I can't personally imagine any characters from an Xbox exclusive game fitting in MK9 b/c they're mostly shooters, right?

Besides Ninja Blade(I like that game), what exclusive action game is only on Xbox? Someone probably knows. In addition, maybe Team Ninja, will propose Ryu Hayabusa or Hayate as the filler for the Xbox version. Do you like it?

[XabiTheHumble]

Off topic: just a question how do you guys know if the twitter of these celebs are really theirs. Basically how do you confirm its there twitter.
On topic: A Gears of war character,at least the protagonist, in MK doesn't make the least bit of sense. Like, what the hell was this guy thinking when he made this comment?

[Arup02]

Off- Real twitters of famous ppl have a symbol on the side of their names, like this- https://twitter.com/#!/ther...

[clintos59]

I think they should use kinect as their MK Character & let the Fatality be. Finish Him! http://www.youtube.com/watc... LOL.

Ok jokes aside its obvious the 3 best character choices for the 360 should be marcus or cole train or masterchief, it makes sense because of potential sales.

[Whitey2k]

well for mortal kombat but dont they make an exclusive character for both consoles 360 can have the bad ass dude from Gears and the ps3 can have krato's its simple :D

[Inzo]

And so the followers do what they do best.......they follow.

[Jellzy]

IMO Kratos is a perfect fit and it makes sense to have him in it as a PS3 exclusive character.

As for the 360... No one really stand's out. As previously mentioned all the core 360 characters are all in shooters and wouldn't really mix into the fighting genre.

Proportionally Marcus or Coletrain just wouldn't look right in the game. Masterchief in terms of overall size and proportion would be a better bet, but I doubt Microsoft will be keen on letting the Spartan partake in a bit of the ol' head ripping gore fest that is Mortal Kombat.

@ AKissFromDaddy (above)

I know Ninja Gaiden is no longer exclusive but Ryu Hayabusa is a good shoot for the 360's exclusive fighter. Fit's much better than anyone else and would be believable contender in the fighting genre.

[CobraKai]

I can see some cool fatalities using the Lancer and some of the new weapons from Gears 3. I think it would be a great idea. Won't get it over Kratos, but still a great idea. The only negative would be that he may have a "Striker" quality to his character.

[TheBand1t]

what's the name of the dude from the 2nd game who had the double chainsaw spear? The boss guy? He'd be perfect

[artsaber]

Like the old Jax character. Although, the idea seems a bit forced while Kratos is a natural fit in the game IMO. I'd like to see Shepard from Mass Effect 2 for some reason. But the 360 doesn't have any "exclusive" super badass characters that fit this game IMO.

Now that I think about it, I'd like to see a Mortal Kombat style game made from all the God of War game characters combined and have MK characters make special appearances. Imagine Hades and Zeus in a MK style game.

[Heavy_Rain]

I am telling you just like another poster said - Greenberg is the exclusive character for the 360 version. He will be the final boss. I cant see how there can be anyone more repulsive and scary to be the final boss.

I do hope they include Master Chief or one of the gears characters in the ps3 version somehow. Imagine whooping Master Chief with Kratos
and finally getting to perform the fatality - http://media.photobucket.co...
Ah that will be awesome! :)

[RockmanII7]

Whats with all the hate for including a Gears character? You don't have to use him and if you buy the PS3 version for Kratos he won't even be in the game.

[visualb]

there's a fair amount of pointless hate...

but...I disagree

the chars would not fit MK at all =| think about all MK chars, then fir in Gears chars...if anything the enemies fit best.

[RockmanII7]

Look at Super Smash Bros.'s own Captain Falcon. The only thing he does in his games is drive a car around, yet in SSB the devs were creative and gave him his own moveset and now one of his attacks, The Falcon Punch, has become a meme. I'm saying that even if a character doesn't fit the fighting mold perfectly they could still work if the devs are creative and I trust in the MK devs.

[visualb]

i know what you mean, but Super Smash Bro's is a bit more of a marvel vs capcom game, crossing universes

MK seems to be more based on a "style", and Kratos' just happens to fit.

I don't think adding Marcus or whom ever would be a bad idea, I just see one of the enemies fitting in better =)

still, we'll have to wait and see. I'd def. prefer a Gears char over, say, Master Chief =|

[REDHULKSMASH]

Marcus and/or general raam would be cool.

[Rhezin]

I'm all for it, give an exclusive character to 360 owners while Kratos is on ps3. It's kinda like Soul Calibur 4, with yoda on 360 and vader on ps3.

[DlocDaBudSmoka]

only the xbox wont ever see kratos. not as DLC or anything.

[Treyb3yond]

hahahaha!

He's butt hurt and is crying "me too please!" like a lost puppy.

[way2fonky]

The only gears character that I could see in mk is Skorge.

[DirtyLary]

Lame idea. So many better exclusive characters to choose from.

Arbiter!!! . nah

[macalatus]

My fellow Sony gamers, don't the forget the fact that the awesome, last fight between Zeus and Kratos in GOWIII seemed like...a Mortal Kombat fight over The Pit stage.

So yes...the new Mortal Kombat with Kratos with surely rock!

Sony Gamers Lead the Way!

[xino]

Cliffy B is jealous man!

Gears character are not even fit for MK, plus they shoot not fight hand to hand.

Kratos is more suitable, he wasn't even suitable in Soul Calibur Broken Sword. Kratos is brutal and bloody just like how MK theme is!

Can't they get someone exclusive from Xbawks 360? oh..there's not one brutal like Kratos on Xbawks!

the only other person exclusive for Xbox 360 is Ken Ogawa, Ninja Blade. He is definitely badass but not brutal, he doesn't even fit MK theme.

[offdawall]

lol sorry cliff .. mortal combat is a fighter.. kratos fits because he has direct hand to hand combat ..unfortunately anyone in the gears universe wouldnt fit

[jbiz320]

Sounds like someone is a lil butthurt about Kratos..lol I actually think it would make more sense to have one of the Gears characters as an add on rather than Master Chief.

[Kos-Mos]

I don`t want any stupid looking characters in a slightly enjoyable franchise like Mortal Kombat that actually has soul compared to many other games like gears.

[Tainted Gene]

Not to anyone particular...

but it seems that everyone has forgotten about Stryker from MK3 and UltMK3. He was a cop/security officer; he used a baton, grenades and even had a semi automatic pistol.

Marcus, Cole, or etc could easily fit into MK games if characters such as cyrax, jax, styker, or even sektor made it. (note: each of these guys had a projectile ballistic weapon/move. But that doesn't have to be a requirement).

[CYBERHATER]

Why not? Sounds like a good idea.

[dorron]

Is he jealous because MK devs chose Kratos over Marcus Gaynix?

[KaiokenKid]

That would be stupid. kratos atleast makes some sense.

[horndog]

save it cliffy. The MK series has gone down the sh*tter since MK3, your better off leaving the characters in Gears and not mixing it in a pile of sh*t. Krastos would fit in there just perfectly.

[theroadtoruin]

they are trying really hard to ruin this game, how about just MK characters in a game thats supposed to be a reboot of MK.

this isn't MK vs Gears or MK vs GOW its a reboot, keep it that way. if they're gonna do this make it optional DLC.

[crazydrummerlad1]

they can put whoever they want. HOWEVER, there is NO ONE that can top KRATOS!!! kratos is the perfect character for the MK series. id say hes more qualified to be a character than even some of the main characters in MK

[rlm41]
