I feel like I'm dating myself every time I mention the OLD MK games, the ones that were in the arcades. Believe me, it's not going to happen the MK vs DC game, trust me, I know that it's a gag, or if anything it'll be some minigame or even koncept art. You have to know how boon is, and I love what he does, but he knows what the true fans want, and it's not this, so don't be shocked to see that it's all a joke.



It makes more sense to not be a joke if the game is exclusive to the Wii (i'm not talking about if its the case where an MK vs. DC is released on all 3 platforms) looking at the trouble Midway is in, i wrote a lengthy post on Midway's motives in the 2nd page on this board 'neither midway nor boon can be blamed'



I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm sure they will not stoop to that level just yet. MK DA was one of the highest selling games in history of the PS2/Xbox generation. With the new systems, I'm sure that Midway games, which I still believe some should be brought back (Killer Instinct/ Primal Rage) are doing well, as Midway has been around a long time, and show no signs of stopping. Boon succeeds because he listens to/reinvents the game the way the majority of the fans want, MK is popular as it is because fans have helped the game along, and have made it the franchise it is today. We've even invented characters like Ermac, and we even made them create Khameleon for the Wii, because we are just a part of the MK universe than the creators. Not in any previous games has the majority of fans have such a control and sway over the video game put out to them. Believe me when I say this: it's a joke, because Boon is renowned for doing these sort of things, just go with the flow, and if in the off chance this becomes canon, then sales will diminish substantially, does Boon want to kill MK? If he does this thing with DC, he will, because the core fanbase will not like it, and it will be like MK Special Forces, a flop that will become a relic in the game's history. Believe me when I say this series still has a lot to go on, without throwing in gags, like an epic storyline, a great cast of characters, and that it's always being reinvented, and reworked that the game will become etched in time as one of the greatest fighting games in history. Now if the arcades still existed, to even seal the deal would be to make limited cabinets to creatain arcades, that would be great.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I just hope you're not right. You seem like someone who's been with the series for a while, or at least you've grown to acknowledge a lot about the series as a whole, and I just want to say that I've written blogs, won tournaments, and dedicated a lot of my gaming to solely this game, and would love to continue my love of this game when I get a PS3. BTW, I've been only wanting a PS3 for this game, GTAIV, Silent Hill 5 and MGS 4, but this is perhaps the game I've been wanting most, since Armageddon was a disappointment, but still a fun game nevertheless. Come on, who didn't find the gokart style amusing?
They need Konquest Mode again, which is another theory that maybe the characters are just part of Konquest Mode, and like I said, they can confirm something doesn't speak for the entire game .
Alas, we'll just have to wait and see how the events unfold. Hopefully you're incorrect, and that it's all just a joke, and God help the series if it's all true sad

honestly im thinking it is a joke aswell and could even be a KAK just showing improvements in the system
Hey that gives me an idea what it it's just a hint that there's gonna be some DC stuff in the KAK parts so you can make true representations of some DC characters?

I was going to say that dc has had some brutal comics out before but something has caught my attention check back later


actually you do, look up on google "Superman is a Dick" those were real comics, and he does kill people, in fact, I don't even consider him a true hero, as he is always mocking and harming the so-called "innocent" he's a shady character as well, don't let the bright spandex fool you.

I hope i'm wrong too and yes i'm an MK original in a sense, my first game was MK2 when it was released and then later I played MK, I owe a lot of my time growing up to the franchise

WT? That sounds more like Supreme from Image.



Actuly Image would probly bled beter with MK then DC would with characters like Spawn, Pitt, The Savage Dragon, Shadowhawk, Supreme, Cyberforce, and The Darkness.

Remember technically nothing has been announced only speculated, Midway have yet to announce anything

They did however there are 2 other possibilities:
-They were told by Boon to keep the rumour going
-They werent allowed to mention MK8


I pray and hope that it's indeed either of these cases.

Same here.

But do you really think DC would allow Midway to just toss their name around like candy simply for the sake of pulling fans' legs?

I think that was Midways plan.... to confuse us all and keep us speculating and talking about it right till the end. I mean think about there's an embargo on all information, but they release an image that gives the whole game away..... that doesn't sound right to me.

This ultra-secretive schtick Boon and Midway love to pull may have worked ten years ago, but not today. We waited weeks for a blurry picture and a scrambled message that about 1 in 100 really gave a rat's ass about? Give me a break.

See, you're not a true vet I suppose happy We've put up with this before, I remember When Armageddon was first talked about, and I've been coming to these forums for over four years, so I'm pretty well aware of not only how to never take anything for real until the day of release. You'll be shocked how far Boon will play you, and you have to admire that I suppose, but don't expect the truth to come out today, wait a few more months happy I've owned every single MK game, every action figure, collectible, I've even bought an offical, regulation size Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 cabinet not too long ago, about four or five years ago. I love this game, and I am certain that this is not the road they are taking, unless of course Boon hates his fans, which I'm sure he doesn't happy
