Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe - Gen. Discussion & Info.

[quote name='ITDEFX']It is possible to overcome that problem. Since this is a fighter game, there is no huge level with textures or 30 enemies on screen at once for the CPU to handle. It's a bit tricky because long hair can do some crazy shit when you knock it around. The psychics engine (Havok?) has to calculate all those strains of hair as individuals or as a bunch and still make it look believable and natural flowing. If more R&D is put into it, it can happen.[/quote]

Havok is good and all, but I think the companies are starting to use that Euphoria engine now. It's just that these are just all physics stuff, but I'm not cramming for long hair chicks with wavy hair or what not. DOA beach volleyball tried that, and it's just on par with the weird over jiggling boob physics.

Also for the "guest" fighters like sc4, midway isn't going to get like manga artist like how sc4 is doing it. Well those are actually bonus fighters. Man it seems like Tekken and Street Fighter are going to be the only fighting games that don't have these fighters that are in no way part of the canon of their series.
 
[quote name='The 7th Number']Friday gamespot is going to show new gameplay footage and reveal 2 new characters.

SOURCE!!!![/quote]

Thanks for the heads up!

So by tomorrow we will already know half of the characters that are going to be in the game.

Hopefully tomorrow we'll see Kitana vs Wonderwoman.
 
I'm thinking Reptile vs. ?????
Reptile vs. The Joker would be sick.

Actually, I think they'd save that for E3, so I'll also say Wonder Woman vs. Kitana.

If they can give me Poison Ivy, Wonder Woman, Kitana and Mileena i'll be happy. Along with the current Catwoman and Sonya ^_^
 
Personally i think they are going to stay away from adding more ninja clones. We already have Sub and Scorp. So i dont see Chameleon, Reptile, Ermac, Noob, Rain, Smoke, etc in the game. There are only 10-12 MK characters, they probably wouldnt want to waste it on a few ninjas and leave out someone like Raiden, Kang, quan chi, shao kahn, baraka, or other more unique characters. I could be wrong.

Plus with Sonya already in the game, i think there would be only 1 maybe 2 more female MK characters. Same with the DC side. I think we will see 2-3 female characters per side depending on the overall roster count. Mileena and Kitana seem like the way to go. But i personally love Jade. So i hope she is in. I also wouldnt mind seeing Nitara.

List of hopefulls.

MK
* Sub Zero
* Scorpion
* Shang Tsung
* Sonya
Raiden
Baraka
Quan Chi
Liu Kang
Kung Lao
Goro
Jade
Nitara
 
[quote name='The 7th Number']i wonder about what time they will reveal them. :([/quote]

Im wondering the same thing. Im assuming it will be a lot later. Maybe sometime around 6-7 pacific time.

Here is the render of Shang with background, its not the high res version as its not available yet on worldscollide.com. This one was provided by one of the mods on the midway boards.

 
Captain Marvel and Lui Kang are in the game. Confirmed by MKcast #2.

Supposedly the 4 characters that will be shown at Comic-Con will "set the world on fire" and will have a huge impact.

Edit: I'm assuming that the gameplay shown later today on GameSpot will feature both Captain Marvel and Lui Kang.

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']after seeing sonya's nipples, I very much look forward to a powergirl render.[/quote]

I have this feeling that she's going to be an unlockable, requiring some insane feet to get her to be playable.
 
The new Mkast says there are still secrets on the page noob.com. But i dont see anything. I can only see the hat which looks like Kung Lao, or there is a small red period under "there will be blood". Otherwise the poster looks unedited, and the source code reveals nothing.

I did just realize that the lightning in the noob.com pic doesnt have a reflection. Hmmmm.
 
I'll check the noob.com website later on.

GameSpot just added a second trailer:

http://www.gamespot.com/video/943567/6193703/videoplayerpop?

I just saw the trailer though and it was ok. Def. better than the first one though. I like the last part were you hear "Finish Him" and Scorpion then pulls up his mask and goes on to toast The Flash, but then the screen goes to black so you don't actually see it.

yeah, looks decent... I am scared about the whole concept of "pro moves" as well... it's basically what you call "just frame" moves in other fighters, but knowing boon, this might be bad.
 
The animations look kinda goofy sometimes, but at least they're pretty smooth. I'm a bit worried about the fighting mechanics for this game but its not like MK has ever been a groundbreaking fighter.
 
I know ths might not be related with the Xbox 360, but since it has to do with Mortal Kombat I thought Id post it here.

There is another Mortal Kombat game coming out titled "Mortal Kombat Kollection" and will be out later this year. GameStop has it listed for pre-order:

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=71986

EDIT: this might either be the old classic games, or MK Deadly Alliance, MK Deception, and MK Armageddon bundled.

Looks like we will be hearing some new information tomorrow.

IGN's E3 coverage will be showing off MK vs DC Universe tomorrow at 3:30pm (Pacific Time).

http://livewire.ign.com/2008/e3/index.html

Also G4TV will be having an interview with Ed Boon tomorrow. I guess thats when we can expect to hear about the two new characters that will be shown.
 
IGN just showed the game on livewire.

- Catwoman is a villan and will have a fatality.
- Each character will only have 1 outfit, but an alt color if you both pick the same character.
- The select screen had 20 slots only.
- DLC may be used for new characters/levels.
- They are trying to give each character more than one fatality/brutality, but time may be against it.
- Boon said flash owns from the DC side and Scorpion owns from the MK side.
 
Woah, G4TV is showing some footage on it, and damn...looks pretty awesome.
Too bad the guys playing couldn't pull off any fatalities/brutalities. :/

No new characters announced.

Oh yeah, when boon was showing the game for IGN livewire he did say there were 20 characters, a BOSS, and maybe hidden character.

Flash's alternate "color scheme" better be Professor Zoom. How hard would it be to add Professor Zoom? Really now.

I'm more so hoping for the black Flash outfit. Like the one in the comic book that appears before any speedster (or has any part of the Speed Force) that's about to die. Though Zoom would still be badass since not many villains I can think of that kill twins that still in the womb...

Oh, that is another good idea, Bardock-kun. :applause: I dig it. It would be complementary to Noob.

Hmm well the only good thing from this is the idea of DLC and being able to download additional characters.

Weren't they going to be revealing two more characters during E3?

The 2 characters were Liu Kang and Captain Marvel. Comic Con will have 4 new characters.
 
Ahh ok, well they should have at least shown some gameplay footage of the two during E3. I was actually hoping for two more but oh well.

Comic Con better not dissapoint with the characters they are going to announce. Im still waiting for Kitana, Wonder Woman, and the Green Lantern.

Catwoman and Shang Tsung will be playable at Comic Con.

BTW, here are screenshots of the select screen.

 
I played some of this game earlier today, it is pretty fun. I saw Scorpion's Fatality against Batman, it is just him taking off his mask and torching them like in the trailer but he just got kind of black and crispy and screamed as he died. I also saw Superman's Brutality against Sonya, he basically drives her into the ground like a nail and keeps pounding on her till just her head is sticking out of the ground. The damage model is really cool looking with all the rips and bruises appearing. I will be posting a few more details on my site later but playing this really got me excited for the finished product.

Thanks for the screenshots.

The character models look really nice in those screens. I just think the Select Screen looks rather generic at the moment. Im sure its not the final one, but so far its lacking some personality. It looks dull.

Yeah, maybe in the final game they will have a better background.
 
Was watching the MK vs DC stuff over at Gamespot.com.
They actually pulled off a fatality/brutality! Awesome.

Also, they said they're going for the darker side of the DC universe.
I hope that means that Joker (if there is one) will bare no resemblance to the Joker from that new DC Universe game. :puke:

Hmm. Batman seems like a kind of bland fighter. Unlike a Flash or Superman.

This was my Game Of Show with everything I got my hands on. It surprised me the most and I couldn't stop passing by the Midway booth to get some play time with it.

Yes, Flash owns. The first time you make him do a flurry of punches was just plain old awesome.

I also got to meet Boon and that was a real thrill, let me tell you.

Also yes, Batman is somewhat bland it would seem but I didn't see much of him or play much either. I saw Scorpion's fire breath fatality and Superman's Brutality. The layout of the levels are great. Falling and the running through the walls thing are points in the game that break from fighting and turn into a little mini-game of sorts. As dose the close combat stuff too.

It will be on display and playable at comic con where two to four new characters will be revealed, more again at G|C and then whatever's left will be revealed a bit before the game's release.

Expect a demo.
 
Awesome. I hope they do something else with Batman, though.

Also, after watching The Dark Knight, I really hope they go with a Heath Ledger-esque type of Joker. If there is one.
