Put on your reading glasses and take a looksy at the new video embedded above showcasing a solid four minutes of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe fighting footage. The game actually looks rather intense, true to form and with the addition of free fall combat and close combat scenarios, it could be a winner. Take in all the video goodness and cheer for the Batman. He and his newfound wealth are all the rage right now, don'tcha know.

did Scorpion and Batman learn at the same dojo? i could swear they both share the Scissor Takedown move.

Meh. I've been saying, this game just looks like they slapped DC character skins on the models. The animations all look identical except for a couple of special moves.

they've literally said that's how they've been going about it.

Looks extremely lame, is anyone really that interested in the "Fight" genre anymore.
emotaku @ Jul 28th 2008 2:42PM
Nah, infact SF4 and SCIV are gonna be such failures the genre is gonna be blacklisted by companies in the future from development.
ccc @ Jul 28th 2008 4:02PM
Both of you smoke crack. The fighting genre is going great with the exception of this garbage.
SF4 is gonna sell mad and be played alot. Soul Caliber 4 also is gonna sell like crazy.
Plus lets not forget about upcoming arcade releases Samuri Shodown 2 and SSF2THDR.
The in Blazeblue and KOF12.
Like I said you guys are on crack.

I'm sick of the fighting genre I was a hardcore MK and Samurai Shodown guy at the arcade but they bore the hell outta me now. No matter this new MK game looks like CRAP!!!

Sarcasm doesn't pick up well with you fighting game enthusiasts.

"Superman has two weaknesses, Kryptonite, and MAAAAGIC" I've heard he is particularly susceptible to the disappearing pencil trick.

Lol I love that movie.
Mr.ESC @ Jul 28th 2008 3:06PM
No fatality / Brutality demonstration = Fail.
Eh looks good though but I would have been happy with an Armageddon version that didn't sucked.
Midway is trying to hard to pull a “Marvel vs Street fighter” here. I don't think they will succeeded.

I have to say, I was totally on the "who gives a shit" side of the fence when I heard about this at first. But that gameplay video just looks so fun. I love the MK universe and although the series is just laughably out-dated at this point. I can't help but get a little excited watching Scorpion throw his harpoon. I just need to write myself a reminder to rent this game and not purchase it.

This game looks awesome and completely next-gen. As for SF4....come on....it looks totally awesome.
ccc @ Jul 28th 2008 3:59PM
Wow, They actually have the balls to show us the terriable gameplay.
WTF is wrong with you Boon?! You're fucking FIRED.
Get the fuck out now.
Seriously WTF?
H Choi @ Jul 28th 2008 5:50PM
Wow, Superman flails his arms like a sissy.
Mr.ESC @ Jul 28th 2008 6:18PM
I would've said like a Ken doll but yeah same thing really.

It's easy to hate on a game that hasn't come out yet... especially when the gameplay video they show is this poor. Their characters have absolutely no life to them, they looked like plastic dolls with little to no articulation. The animation was passable--maybe 5 years ago... Welcome to the next generation Midway, oh wait, no--after looking closer at your game, you aren't welcome. You aren't even in the same console generation are you? The Xbox and PS2 deserved better than this and you want to release it on the 360 and the PS3? Seriously? Where do they get off thinking this will pass in today's day and age? I personally really enjoy the fighting genre still--when it's done right. Mortal Kombat hasn't done it right in a LONG time. Ultimately sales will decide if this game fails or not, but from what I've seen, they won't be getting my money for this lazy cash-in...
