The Mortal Kombat Team Has A New Fighting Game

@Rapid said:

A T rating interesting, well I guess DC wouldn't allow their characters to be fatalty'd since I believe this what happened with Mortal Kombat vs DC

There were fatalities in MK v DCU. More than likely, its just about the spectrum of appeal. Moms might buy the new game with Superman in it for a child as young as six. Slap an M rating on there and that's a much tougher sell.

That's a shame, Capcom are the best at these vs. games.

my GAWWWWD. I AM SO HYPED FOR THIS. CANT WAIT!!!!

also people complaining about power imbalance...... its a freaking video game MVC has done that for years, the rage mechanic in MK vs DC was sufficient enough mechanic for a videogame to justify the power imbalance. I see something like that happing here

UMvC3 is actually very well balanced with plenty of people getting places with lower tier characters. A guy using Viewtiful Joe/Frank West/Rocket Raccoon won a major tournament not long ago. All of those characters are considered mid-low tier.

MvC2...well yep that game is basically dominated by 6 or so characters.

I just hope this does not play the same as MK vs DC. I was not a fan of the mix of 2D and 3D gameplay.

E3 is over, nothing can top this. MK team making another DC fighting game, it's over.

LOL

Im pretty sure they are referring to how strong the characters are in the comics. Like Harley Quinn would never beat Superman, etc.

ugh christopher nolan batman.

So this is basically DC Universe Vs Mortal Kombat again, except they're stripping out the MK guys.

Main problem still remains, though: Power imbalance. It's worse in DC than in Marvel simply because their primary characters are so... well, they've got Superman, who can pretty much kill anyone with one arm tied behind his back, Batman, who's just a regular dude, and the Flash, who shouldn't ever even get hit.

Are they going to bring back that stupid "Rage" mechanic that leveled the playing field, allowing Batman to go toe to toe with Superman? I guess they're going to have to at least do something like that. I mean, Harley Quinn vs Wonder Woman? Wonder Woman is bulletproof, and bullets are all harley has. She definitely has no chance putting her in a full nelson or whatever it was she tried in the trailer. She's a pushover even for Batman, all she generally has is thugs and hyenas and I doubt she has that here. Harley vs Superman? That just gets ridiculous at a certain point.

But the DC guys are constantly fighting against each other. Flash can take a hit from Supes without exploding into pieces; Flash has also dodged almost every one of Supes punches in a fight. Batman has his wits, gadgets, and superior fighting skills and knowledge of everyones weaknesses. Harley is insane and unpredictable. I don't think WW is bulletproof, just her bracelets. Yes, DC hero's are imbalanced, but there's at least some credence to them fighting each other since it's been done before in their own fiction.

here is hoping for some of the robin dynasty to be in the game.

-red robin

-robin

-nightwing

-and red hood

The lastest MK game was the first fighting game I've ever owned. I hope Injustice can be my second. I like fighting games but it's frigging impossible to get into them without a buttload of dedication.

I really the character and costume design. The outfits have this punctuated look to them.

Love the visual style, that's got to be the best looking Batman I've ever seen. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

I don't remember Batman punching dudes through buildings in the Batman movies.

OMG this is awesome!

In my version he does.

I think this game looks neat, and I've not played a fighting game in ages (since street fighter on my playstation).

boon is the rain man of video games.

Well, at least they didn't try to mix Mortal Kombat with DC again.

And after the last Mortal Kombat, i have all the faith in the world in these guys.

Probably won't be getting this game, because i'm not a DC fan, but, it'll probaby be a good game.

And i'm fine with these guys switching between Mortal Kombat and other fighting games.

We don't need a new Mortal Kombat every 1-2 years, give it some time for us to miss it.

I think Nether Realm just spoiled the ending of Dark Knight Rises.

I dont see what the fuss is all about, the last time the Netherrealm guys worked on something DC related it turned out to be garbage.

Eh, I already have enough fighting games to play.

There better be some classic costumes an not this "New 52" crap...

I will admit that alot of the fun with MK for me was the gore factor.

I just hope they can make the hits in Injustice have the same impact as the stuff you could do in MK.

Justice league is still the best super hero group and we all know it. Evil Justice league... that's a fighting game I can get behind. But we need Gorilla Grodd, Brainiac, and Joke character Toyman.

You guys liked MK vs DC right? Now here's JUST DC! Wait, what?

@kpaadet: What was so wrong about Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe?

haha, the exact same cinematic as UMvC3.

I liked the singleplayer aspect of the last MK, but their fighting system isn't my cup of tea(I need my frames yo), still hope it turns out well.

now answer with a non-versus marvel game, capcom!

MK vs DC-esque gameplay mixed with the epicness of a proper Dragonball Z game?

Take my money now.

Superman is such a useless character.

Total agree that the character designs look really really dumb with the armor.

@Paindamnation said:

So will this be another Marvel Vs DC nerfed fatalities game?

Whoa. Are you from a future where the game you just mentioned is real?

I don't like how Gamespot does interviews if that's how they do interviews. I feel like there are too many points where Jeff would've laughed if he was conducting the interview where Ryan Mac Donald said nothing and, additionally, I find the way questions have been edited out (presumably) pretty disturbing. 
 
I like an interview where the interviewer acts like a human. I suppose that's why I'm here and not at Gamespot. Game sounds really cool though, can't wait to see more of it including an interview with Jeff and Ed Boon.

MK9 was really nice so I'm pretty interested

Another DC fighter?

@TheMasterDS: Some interviews are different because they are dictated by PR as to what can be mentioned, and what can't. It's not a GameSpot thing, or a Giant Bomb thing, or whatever ... a lot of the time the interviewee rambles along for 20 minutes, and then says "Oh, lets not talk about that just yet."

Fuck yeah.

It's really weird to realize that I'm far more interested in the story of this game than actually playing it. I hope the narrative branches off of the events of MK vs DCU the way MK9 kind of did. I've never been a huge DC fan so I can't think of many characters I might want to see in the roster besides Swamp Thing and The Question. MK9 made me a believer in what Nether Realms can do with fighting games so I am very excited.

Its looks like it could be fairly cool, but man... did they have to go with the "New 52" costumes? They just scream "the 90's" in the very worst way possible. Really the Wonder Woman costume is the only one that is any good at this point.

I mean Superman is wearing armor! What the fuck would Superman need armor for? So bad! I used to like Jim Lee but he has lost more than a little something since his days or redesigning the X-Men back in the day.

@takkun169: Yes, exactly, the whole thing seems disjointed. I don't know why they would do this again, I don't know, I'll just skip this and wait for the new MK.

That superman uppercut was pretty damn cool.

Sort of in the middle here with this release, for two simple reasons-Mortal Kombat was awesome. Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe was not. 
 This environment stuff sounds interesting, but I am far more interested in what the core gameplay actually is like (oh, and costumes).

All over this when it comes out. Can't wait. Love me some DC.

I'm digging the return of shifting battlegrounds and the supposed background object interactivity. Probably jack the game up for high-end competitive play, but that does not mean it cannot be extraordinary fun.

I'm intrigued, hmm maybe fatalities to seal the deal.

@iAmJohn: same problem i have with all ignorant marvelites: besides some, most are incredibly freaking ignorant

I'm tired of all this dancing around. Just do a Marvel vs. DC and MK vs. Street Fighter and get it over with!

I loved MK 9

Im in

@jointron33: In general, though, Marvel succeeds where DC fails in establishing character faults and pathos in a way that makes their characters feel closer to human beings than generally unlikable demigods.
