Remember when Capcom and Marvel did those crossovers? Haha! What the Hell was that? Nobody liked those games. Right? Am I right? Those games weren't good or popular. Amirite?

You...you mean fighting game crossovers with superheroes can...work? Gee, I wouldn't guess that reading a typical MK fan's reaction to this news! Somebody better tell them.

im not saying it would work in this case but it did 10 years ago. Midway is way too late. unless they did a Mortal Kombat vs Killer Instinct game

The difference between MK:DC and Marvel vs Capcom is that street fighter had no hardcore violence or blood. Midway is stealing a concept, the idea is unoriginal.

Midway is just doing this as a cash grab. I sincerely doubt they took fans of the series into any consideration.

To me, this is not MK8. How is this even going to relate to the storyline?

What about Armageddon? How will this game's story relate to the last one? Unless, yet again, we get no storylines for the characters.

Midway, you make me want to vomit!

No, you kept saying every character will be killed off.

Having a few return might actually save this game from being a flop, but the idea still sucks a$$.

If its a huge crossover, they might not kill any off at all, if it serves Midway's purposes...

So archfield, if Tremor being in MK8 would have stopped MK vs DC, for whatever reason, would you want him in?

That is a hard question...I suppose I could accept it if the majority of the MK fanbase were desperate (self-sacrifice). But Tremor had better be radically changed so he's not a flippin' orange ninja with the ability to throw a rock.
