you guys need to take into concern the new mk fans the ones who never played the 2d era games and only know the 3d style if they go back to 2d they will lose a lot of fans from kids ranging from 15 and under who never got a chance to go to the arcades and have a crowd behind you rooting you on i wish those days would come back but technology is too advanced for primitive arcade games


That is why MK will never reclaim its former glory.

Ok look at street fighter.....it has the same old fans plus new comers. Old fans will always be there because its just like the old stuff but new, however it has the same feel as the old school. New comers love new games and all the attention its getting..

mortal kombat lost its old fans and the new ones doesn't appreciate mk the way the old mk fans use to...now days its just consider an O.K fighting game while back in the day mk was the ShiZnit! everyone would meet up at someones house, or at arcades to play to see who is the best and everyone can get the basics down...its not like that anymore and people give up...

but not street fighter.. thats stickin to its roots and that is why it sells.

MK take lessons from street fighter and your day will shine once again....

Exactly. Street Fighter IV was perfect. Capcom knows not to turn its back on their oldschool fans. SFIV maintained the classic gameplay while adding fresh, yet subtle additions to it. MKvsDCU introduced ridiculous gimmicks that took away from the competitive nature of the game and turned it into a thing of luck. The lesson that MK needs to learn is that you shouldn't try to fix what isn't broken.

I say both, so the games can finally be fast again like mK4. Where you are moving 2d in a 3d area and 3d characters. And maybe press a certain button to dodge to the side.(a roll)

mk 4 wasn't doing well at all with arcades which why the arcade scheme for mortal kombat died.

mk 1-3 arcades were a big hit. I use to remember seeing a grouped of people surrounding the arcade. Thats what made mk what it was... having no arcades out really is a let down...street fighter 4 has arcades and its the #1 spender of 2008 for arcades..

Just leave it how it was in MKvsDC then we have a choice so that everybody wins


So we might as well just continue playing Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon, and MK Vs DCU then if MK9 is going to be 3D just like them.

They are all 3d but have different fighting engines, the most related ones are MKDA, MKD, and Armageddon, but they differ from each one in more than one thing, MKvsDCU's fighting engine is totally different.

and thats my point, why does mk have to change, heck I hate how the moves are different every time a game comes out..look at street fighter its always identical so its easy to pick up on... I notice i keep bringing up street fighter but hey they are doing something right! even boon was on evo live and watching how people were enjoying street fighter 4 and he posted on the chat room, "I like how street fighter looks and how people are really intrigued by it" and "get ready for mk9, this time I'm running the show for its biggest impact ever!"

hopefully boon wasn't kidding.

Well assuming that they are just modding up the MKvsDC fighting system you con probably expect MK9 to play a lot like MKvsDC did which isn't a bad thing. I just hope that its not quite so buggy and the online is rehashed because MKvsDC online is poooooooooooooooo lol

2D and 3D? Both? Interesting idea, but I like it. Or if it will be in 3D only, that will be great for me, too. But 2D? Hell no! rolling_eyes I don't really like games in 2D.

lets explain this again. Mortal Kombat is a 3D fighter. it is not a 2D fighter anymore. there is no reason to go backwards here since MK is very successful as a 3D fighter. Street Fighter is a 2D fighter. Street Fighter 4, imo, just sucks. MK vs DC, though not the best MK, did better then any MK in sales. weather that being because DC was involved, the T rating, or the hype is unclear. MK vs DC had some great graphics. I would love to see an improved version of MK vs DC as MK9. M rated of course




BINGO!


Why would you backtrack. That's like going back to grade school when you are 25.

I haven't played MK Vs DCU, but I've read about it, and watched it online... and I have seen enough, to be honest with you. To me, that is as 2D as a 3D game can get; more than I like it to be. I just think that Mortal Kombat should have more STRATEGY than all of it's previous installments. Simple was good in the past. But if the series wants to thrive along with it's modern counterparts, I think that hype will never be enough. The series has been hyped up for the past few installments, but rarely ever delivers fully on it's promises. I want to see MK become a real martial arts fighting game, although it's more than just martial arts, but mythology, realism, depth and diversity.

That's not true actually. I've been a Mortal Kombat fan since the first Mortal Kombat to this day. Also there are many others along with me.

You've got a point though, many former Mortal Kombat fans got really mad when they found out Mortal Kombat 8 is actually Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe. I, for one, remained open-minded and wanted to see what will it be like.
