Do you think this game will sell enough copies to save Midway? I've been hearing some talk of Midway's last hope being this game. They want to profit from it next quarter.
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
Game » consists of 12 releases. Released Nov 16, 2008
The supernatural kombatants of Mortal Kombat collide with the superheroes of the DC Universe in this crossover fighting game by Midway.
Can MK vs DC save Midway?
Midway has made good and bag games over the years, but I don't want them to die out, and I doubt they will. I'll probably buy MK v.s. DC Universe even though I kinda suck at fighting games, the game concept intrigues me, and I want to support them..
And if they do get so low that they're close to going completely under, the game industry tends to buy out failing companies with good IP's and history.
I doubt it. Like jakob187 said, pretty much no Midway game has been good for a long time and MK vs. DC just reeks of desperation to a lot of people, not to mention how the game itself still looks as clunky and outdated as the last MK games, so I can't see it pull them out of any kind of crisis and, to be honest, I don't care.
They need to merge with a new company and make a brand new company with a new name. I think Midway has sort of tarnished there own name with the mediocre game line up so they need to make a new company and start out strong!
"They need to merge with a new company and make a brand new company with a new name.

They have outdated franchises that they fail to give a good facelift because, again, they bully their developers around. I talked to Romero for hours on WoW about how bad they fucked him over on Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows because he wasn't making another Dark Legacy or Legends.
At least they have nice PRs though.

You have no idea that if Midway makes a new company by merging with another company, whether or not they can start out strong. They can start with a new IP, and that could get the ball rolling. Also, this is the adult business world... You don't "bully" people..."They need to merge with a new company and make a brand new company with a new name.

"jakob187 said:Sorry to say but its a term used to exemplify what companies do to their devs, Basically it means long hours, no breaks and you better get this done on its your job. Weither a new company made from Old MK folks or not comming out strong isn't the point midway is nortorious for being a small company but trying to use EA tactics EA atleast has multi million dollars behind the projects enough to cover up their ""bullying"" of devs where as midway does not."LiquidPrince said:Okay, what is it with you and trying to oppose me on everything I say?
