I understand, but what's more to discuss? I have no more words... I just hope they go bankrupt for all I care and maybe the franchise will be bought by another company that actually gives one dime about their fans, and maybe then the mk franchise will be reinvented. I'm sorry but last night was just awfull

All I have to say is in the MKDCU forums. I hate Boon for what he has done.

I also hate the decision ed boon made with this first mortal kombat game on the next gen but im staying positive that the next game after this one That Ed Boon and the Mortal Kombat Developers will make will be back to the old Mortal Kombat we all know and like.

Haha, how random. I would of never expected DC to be in the same game as an MK game. The trailer was pretty funny too.
Batman fighting Sub-Zero = Lol.

Have you guys watched the HD version of the trailer? The graphics look quite impressive. As for the concept of MK vs DC and these new fighting mechanics they're introducing, I'm a little skeptical about.
I mean this is a totally new direction for MK, if DC had been introduced with the old fighting mechanics the game would have without a doubt failed miserably. However, with these new fighting mechanics the blend of MK and DC may not be as incompatible as we all think.
I'm reserving judgment for now, all I'm hoping for is a game that's fun to play. Here's hoping Midway exceed my hopes for once. =P

HD trailer can be downloaded from www.worldscollide.com! (TMK only hosted the standard version, as we are having file space issues atm)

I'm one of the ye-old Lurkers here who doesn't seem to do much, but I figured I'd put my two cents in.
First: Violence factor.
It has been shown from the small clips of Subzero and Batman beating the hell outta eachother that blood is still a factor. This is a good sign, seeing as this may get rid of the T rating they were pining for.
The main thing, however, is that characters like Scorpion would stop at nothing to defeat their opponent. A fight between Superman and Scorpion would not end until one of them was dead. Superman would want to show mercy, but Scorpion would take that moment to shove a flaming hot spear into S-man's chest.
If fatalities, the hardcore violence as you said, were to be removed, then the MK characters would fall apart.
However, the ring of hope here seems to be the two peticular DC writers they got. Painkiller jane isn't exactly a T rated comic ya know, or are the other comics they had to do with.
Sadly, we'll have to wait and see how this turns out.
Second: Story:
The story, as I'm gathering so far, works for me.
The relm of Mortal Kombat/Outworld is a nexus of a varying Multiverse. It would stand to reason that, a cataclysm would potentiall cause two worlds to "collide", causing a crossover.
Third: Characters:
I too am rather worried about the potential character roster. Not so much from the MK side, but the DC side.
I don't see this going very far if JUST heros come from DC. What about Villens? We got crazy stuff like Doomsday who "killed" Superman even WITH all his powers.
For the DC side not to suck, it's gonna need some of the villens showing up.
I hope this comment/shout is heard by ya TMK.
I may not seem like much... but maybe I can provide a little insight?
I know a lot about the DC universe as my father is a comic geek.

Boon has already said that DC side will contain heroes and villains as will the MK side. Blood won;t rid the T rating though, its graphic depiction of death that gets the M rating.

True, but this goes back to character defining fighting styles.
Could you honestly see Scorpion chasing someone down, beating them into submission, and NOT killing them?
This goes double for characters such as Shao Khan, the Shokan, the Oni, Onaga, the list goes on.
The only ones who COULD show mercy would be a handful of Earthrelm fighters.
Once again, this isn't so much about missing out on the gore factor, but rather worrying that our MK characters won't be horribly deformed.
I mean, I have no problem with a finishing move that is not gory and is more flashy martial arts (like Kang's cartwheel finishing move), but it has to fit into a character's personality.
I simply can't see Scorpion NOT, in some way, evicerating his foe with his clan's signature weapon.

If MK crossed with SF, I think I would honestly cry in horror. The SF series (As in SF2 and it's thousands of clones) were so mindless and easy.

Can you actually ever see Street Fighter progress to proper 3D?

I sure can't/don't want to see SF and MK. I lost a lot of respect for SF all because of their stupid rehashes SF: Turbo, Zero etc etc. DC isn't a bad idea, just came up during a not so welcomed time you know? Lots of people are curious about MKA's events. Not to mention the absence of Fatalities.
