Interview with Ed boon.. Just something someone might want to know. Seen lots of people talk about MK vs. DC Comics. Some people are still unsure about how many people are being killed off and is it actually going to start over? Well..

Click the link below as well to view 20 Questions Gamers Blog asked Ed himself..

Speaking to Game Informer, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has revealed that the visuals of Gears of War had a tremendous impact on the design of the next-generation Mortal Kombat, which also uses Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3.

"To me, when I saw Gears of War, I was like, 'Holy s___!' That’s the look that we’ve been talking about.” Visually, that’s what we want to do."

But gameplay wise, the game won’t be about taking cover or using a chainsaw attachment on a rifle. It's all about starting from scratch.

"We’re not going to have three fighting styles, we’re not going to have the same punches and kicks and the same kind of control scheme. Everything is getting trashed. We’re reinventing everything from the ground up. We really think that’s needed—you know, we’re on Mortal Kombat 8, in a sense—to kind of wipe the slate clean every once in a while, and I kind of feel that now is the time."

Boon promises we’ll learn more about the look and feel of Mortal Kombat 8 soon:

"Our visual presentation and our game presentation and our thing that you’ll hear about very soon are all going to be new to this game. It’s going to be nothing like you’ve ever seen before."

But, when can we expect to see the next-generation Mortal Kombat on store shelves? Unfortunately, for such an ambitious project, we’ll have to wait nearly two more years.

“It would be around the fall, Novemberish time of 2008.” Boon explained.
