I just saw the trailer and watched an interview with Mr. Boon, and I am actually a bit excited for this game. Anyone else looking forward to this title?

SushieBoy · « **Reply #1 on:** April 18, 2008, 04:51:05 PM »

I hear they'll be no fatalities and very little blood.

Glorb · « **Reply #2 on:** April 18, 2008, 07:23:52 PM »

Dude. Awesome. I don't care if there aren't any fatalities (well, I do, but not too much), this looks just too cool. Now we just need a modern Robocop vs. Terminator.

SolidShroom · « **Reply #3 on:** April 18, 2008, 08:19:19 PM »

I thought that the fatalities were the main selling point of MK, because the fighting engine sucks hard, and the SNES version with no blood proved it, because it hardly sold.

Not me.

^ Yeah. Cross-over fighters = Not my thing.

Good Lord, I thought this was a movie for a second... nearly had a heart attack.

So I guess you don't like the Smash Bros. or Marvel vs Capcom series?

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #7 on:** April 18, 2008, 09:17:27 PM »

I lol'd when I saw "Smash Bros." in the sentence. Pwned.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #8 on:** April 18, 2008, 10:38:33 PM »

What's your point? Other than that Smash Bros. isn't a "fighter" in the traditional sense and that it doesn't include comic book characters.

Suffix · « **Reply #9 on:** April 18, 2008, 10:45:14 PM »

Counter-point: Win! I was going to point those two things out myself, but they were put ever-so-eloquently.

I am not looking forward to this title. I didn't look forward to the Marvel vs. Capcom game, either.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #10 on:** April 18, 2008, 11:52:35 PM »

The thing is, Marvel vs. Capcom is actually great fun.

Suffix · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2008, 11:58:00 PM »

I forgot to mention I generally have little interest in fighting games. I wouldn't be surprised if it was fun; I just didn't look forward to it.

Anyway, I should mention that I emphasized "not" as a result of my great distaste for Mortal Kombat as a series. Emotional scars and all that.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #12 on:** April 19, 2008, 12:59:45 AM »

I have very little interest in fighters as well.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2008, 06:27:56 AM »

It's a good thing this is a new game, because in the Silver Age, Superman would own them all.

TEM · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2008, 09:14:41 AM »

This game is a terrible idea.

Glorb · « **Reply #15 on:** April 19, 2008, 09:27:49 AM »

It's true, but I'm still getting it. It might just be stupid enough that it's worth playing for a while. I expect the inevitable comic book tie-in to provide more entertainment, though.

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2008, 09:00:49 PM »

I love DC, and I'm apathatic towards MK, but the idea of playing as Batman in what's probably going to be a decent fighter wins out over how inferior Midways fighter is against Capcom's.

Then again, there's very few fighters that are better than a capcom produced fighting game.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2008, 10:21:14 PM »

Every time I see this thread, I start thinking of some fictional game called Mario Kart Vs. Donkey Kong.

Glorb · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2008, 12:40:36 AM »

That's actually that I thought when I saw the title.

The Chef · « **Reply #19 on:** April 20, 2008, 08:30:04 AM »

I'd much rather see Wario vs. DK myself.

CrossEyed7 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 20, 2008, 11:12:11 AM »

I thought of Mario Kart vs. Dreamcast, which doesn't make much sense.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #21 on:** April 20, 2008, 09:58:11 PM »

^ ...Great, now that's what I think of every time I see it!

jmdblazer · « **Reply #22 on:** April 20, 2008, 10:24:37 PM »

what does the MK stand for?
(i don't really know much about this)

Not mortal combat, but

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #26 on:** April 21, 2008, 08:15:51 PM »

I always hope they'll eventually wake up and realize how stupid the whole "K" thing is, but I guess not.

CrossEyed7 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 21, 2008, 09:21:05 PM »

I thought Donkey Kong and the U.S.S.R. held a joint kopyright on unnecessary Ks.

I really hope they do this well, it's truly a great concept.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #31 on:** April 22, 2008, 03:02:23 PM »

Since when has a game involving DC comics characters been a good game (I say this with Superman games in mind)?

missingno · « **Reply #32 on:** April 22, 2008, 05:00:38 PM »

I was leaning more towards Batman, actually. Superman's a junky superhero. I'm aware Batman had some bad games (Forever, obviously), but the thought of Batman and MK characters duking it out seems cool to me.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #33 on:** April 23, 2008, 05:19:13 AM »

1. Superman used to be cool.
2. I didn't say the concept wasn't interesting, but they have to do it right.

missingno · « **Reply #34 on:** April 23, 2008, 01:29:48 PM »

Yes, but I doubt they'd use who Superman used to be, plus Superman wouldn't be that hot in a fighting game.
I really hope they do it well.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #35 on:** April 23, 2008, 03:48:01 PM »

They should just have Golden Age Superman. He would beat everyone with one punch.
