Tells what theyll be showing at E3, and other stuff.
This stood out:

GS: Have you made any more headway on the fatality versus finishing moves?

EB: Yes we have. All of the MK characters and all of the DC villains will have fatalities. The DC heroes who don't kill that often will have brutalities that will function just like fatalities but don't actually kill the opponent.




Sorry if old already

Wow. That's unexpected. Is it an M rating now?

[Edit] EB: Going into this, we've had a number of conversations with DC about what people's reactions will be. We have been pleasantly surprised as to how cooperative DC has been with us. They understand that their universe isn't as violent as Mortal Kombat's and that there would be a lot of assumptions that the game would be a "watered-down MK." So from that standpoint, we know that is where a lot of player's concerns would be. With that, our discussions with DC are mainly based on individual items that may or may not be too violent or are not in brand with their characters. Certain animations, blood effects, and sound effects that we have in the game are really pushing the T-rating envelope.

Guess not. Ah well.

And all those who supported this game saying: "I was getting tired of Fatalities", and "Finishers are better." are now going to pretend they didn't say that.

FANTASTIC!!!!

Quote from Ed Boon regarding FATALITIES:

Ed Boon kindly said:
Yes we have. All of the MK characters and all of the DC villains will have fatalities. The DC heroes who don't kill that often will have brutalities that will function just like fatalities but don't actually kill the opponent.

........On the other hand, the people who have assumed things like there will be no blood or fatalities in the game have been totally off base. Unfortunately, this assumption has been made by a good number of players and even some of the press, but you really can't fault them when so little information has been officially announced. Again, over time, all of the details will be revealed.


There will be villians, haha!

Quote from Ed Boon regarding the STORY-MODE:

Ed Boon kindly said:
We've also been cranking very hard on our Story mode, which is really going to tell a great story from two perspectives (MK-side and DC-side) that answers all of the questions people have about how these two worlds collide.


All the interview is filled with excellent news and a very happy and nice Ed Boon regarding his fans. Thanks Ed!

I only hope they stop using the same characters for the promotion and do some awesome pics of the rest of the cast. More of Flash and Sonya would be nice. Im getting tired of Scorpion being overused, yet again. lol. tongue

No. I doubt it.

I guess that old rummor of being able to do fatality ONLY to Mk characters was true.

Im sure you can do Fatalities to DC villians as well, but not the super heroes.

Here's an idea.. UPDATE your websites with the info and they wouldn't have assumed.
