I for one am not. Not that I can't see why people would be. But I have been so let down that I can't even be forced to care. Obviously I'll kep up with the updates so I can discuss. But I really don't get this whole concept.
I mean, they're definition of "NEW" is not only old but INCREDIBLY old.
Not only are there NO new characters from MK, but characters from DC that are older than almost all, if not all, the users on this site.
And no matter what sense they make from Armageddon into this DC crap is not going to be either cannon or acceptable. I can't express my anger for this two year wait to come to a screeching halt like this. I know I'm not the first person to say this but goddammit I won't be the last. I just had to get that off my chest and I feel like this whole let down shouldn't be accepted... I know, I'm a little bitch.

Voted no because I hate the idea. But now that we all know that big money is in this, I only hope the storyline to be non-canon, and this game be a spin-off or something.

I feel that some of the reasons for this game are weak. The everybody says its something new when it really isn't. But I can understand how this could be a way to iron out any bugs for future MK games but seriously how many bugs did they iron out over the console trilogy? If they really wanted to iron out bugs they should do that during the test period of the game. Damn and I thought I was all out of rant lol...

I of course voted for the no option. I know some people on this boards are gonna give the game a chance by renting it or buying it before they judge themselves on if they like the game or hate it. But like i said im not even giving the game that chance. Like i said i kind of know when i'll like a game or not just by the information or what it's gonna be based on. And A mortal kombat game vs DC Universe characters just is not my type of game. Yes im hoping this is just a test game for Ed Boon to see how well he can get stuff done on xbox 360 and ps3 so the next game he makes will be the mortal kombat we want.

I don't like Superman. That is all.
Oh.. and the fact that I can't rip his head off makes me even sadder.

Voted, I hate the idea.
This is not the new fresh MK we all wanted.
I will not buy this game, or rent it.
I will play it if I see it at someones house, but in no way
will I financially support this garbage.

I did not vote.
Yes, I'm a bit disappointed, but I'm not going to simply condemn the game before playing it.

This poll really could have done with a third option, like "I don't like the idea of a crossover but I'll give it a chance"
That's exactly how I feel, ideally I would have much preferred a full on sequel a continuation from the events of MK: Armageddon. Something with new fighters, new engine, new story, new everything.
Unfortunately my dreams of such things will not be realised with the latest iteration of MK being a crossover. So I have to let go of those hopes and move on to new ones. I'm now hoping MK vs DC will be a great game to play, I'm impressed with the graphics and proposed fighting mechanics thus far. I only hope it's not canon. However if it is to be canon I want a good storyline and I want it to be canon in both MK and DC universes. It'd be unfair to us if DC could sweep this under the rug but we couldn't =P
That is my view on the whole thing, and that doesn't leave an option for me to vote in. =/

All I gatta say, is it's still just sad on how the majority of fan's reactions are negitive, then when confronted into debate, all they can say is: "Well I got better things to do with my life then worry about a video game". And to anyone/everyone who's ever used that excuse, why would you even care about the video game to give a reaction in the first place.
Now, those who've known me around here know I am a true lover for cannon story as well as being the odd man out when it comes to enjoyment (the fact that my favorite MK character is Stryker should give that away), and another is speaking my mind fully and truthfully.
The concept of a VS is indeed not old. But, it is a new concept for MK. This is like when MK first came out: Ed Boon and co. were just testing the waters. They sure as hell didn't expect MK to become as popular and loved as it did and they sure didn't expect to be making more after the first one. So, they make more and more games, and EACH GAME delivers something new to the series; weather it be characters, secerets, game modes, game play features, ect... MK vs DC is just that. It's a new game that's bring something new to MK.
So, now we see it's MK vs DC. Well, just how many media forms out there do you think could blend well with MK to begin with? The only ones that really come to my mind involve Anime and Other Videogames, which I am sure would piss off fans just as much, if not even more then if it were DC.
Now with this game, it's breaking more ground for MK: it's going to be the first new MK on a new gen console, as well as the first MK to feature the concept of fighting anywhere and CQC fighting. (Close Quarters Combat). Which I am amazed to hear about, as I've always wanted a fighting game to deliver these kinds of attributes, and the closest one was Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi series (Which sucked balls, no pun intended). And if it works well, we can expect these things to be in the next MK game.
As for the matter of story, obviously the story will be altered to a degree so this whole thing can happen, but I highly doubt any of it will be taken as cannon for MK8. But, what this does do even more for MK8, is give the creators a chance of pace from their usual work. Ask any writer and game maker how nice it is to make a side story/game for fun; it's a great feeling that you retain to your next project. This break from regular Mk will also give the writers a chance to further work out stories and bios. Know how everyone was pissed that only Premium edition PS2 users got character bios? Guess what, this gives them more time to fix that problem for next game.
Which brings the next issue: people who complain "It's just for the money" or "It will bring in money". No fucking duh. If Ed boon and co weren't interested in making money, guess what? They'd just give the fans the new MK games. Why do you think there's paying MMO's and Free to Play ones? Because people who own the monthly fee ones are out to make money, while the ones that are free to play while giving players the option to donate, are doing it because they love making games, and really aren't out to make cash.
Now, as for where I stand on this idea, I am looking forward to the game. I can't actually say I hate it, because I've never played it. I doubt both MK and DC will let this game suck, as they both have their reputation and money ridding on this game, especially after all the 'hate' that this game has been generating, so I can already expect this to be a damn good fighter. But wether or not it will, I will have to wait and find out when I buy it.

A point that deserves an answer. When I made that excuse, it's really my way of saying, " don't want to allow myself to argue any further about it because theres absolutely nothing I can do now than to bitch bitch bitch and since that gets pretty old fast and also drains the energy of fans who want to give this game a chance, in respect to them and to those who got tired of hearing others including I, complain, I decided to just stick to the ol' "im too busy to get into it anyways" routine. 
But deep inside, I totally have so much more to say about it when confronted. But again, it won't do any good. I don't care to confront fans. Just the game producer. I've nothing against fans, even the ones who love the idea.
My only hope now is that when this game is released, I may be able to bring myself to stop and look at the damned thing from the window of a game shop. Maybe even try it. Ugh..
But the pure fact that there is no fatality and that this is now indeed confirmed MK8 by Ed Boon himself (saw the video posted at MK central which was iterviewed by one of MKO's staff), Im really not that interested.
Mr.Boon said that he basically no longer wanted to continue the mythology of Mortal Kombat as we all know it, but instead, create whole new outrageous concepts of it to keep it shocking and fresh. Due to fear of sales dropping from being stagnant in the creative department. 
So for those who are hoping for cannoncy in the future, forget it. 
I still have some love for "old MK" left in me, but this, much like how i felt with the newest Transformer movie, never ended up being one of my favorites regardless of it's success. The movie was a piece of poop and I knew it would be from the very start. And the funny thing about that is that I actually allowed all the positive hype get the best of me and I even came out saying "that was a cool movie". Months later though, I got back to my senses and felt like i completely lied to myself. That movie sucked.
And this just happens to be one of those cases or atleast feels the same.
We have a while before this game shows up on racks, so till then, I really won't be saying anything new.

Damn so basically the whole Mortal Kombat games that will be made will always be stupid Mortal Kombat vs Insert type of other named characters from a different company. Oh well with him confirming that the Good Mortal Kombat we once knew and loved is now Dead. This is a sad fucking day.

Well he didnt say anything about more vs games but this will surely open new doors for more outrageous vs titles. He just wants to get away from everything we knew and loved about mk.
Basically dude, we will see manequins wearing the scorpion and sub zero costume, but it wont really be them. Just copies of them.
No fatalities man. Thats like..weird. I mean..fatality makes Mortal Kombat what it is. My own dear mother knows Mortal Kombat because of the fatality thing.
How do you not include fatalities!? This is just another cheap novelty fighter and when that novelty runs out (and it WILL) what then? What then Mr. Boon? God I hate that name right now. Boon.
nooB! >
....shit, Im ranting again.

Yea but don't worry man you have the right to rant. I mean all me and you and honestly everyone on these forums wanted was a great mortal kombat game for next gen.
One that would of made us hyped up for a new era of mortal kombat on the next generation sorta like how rockstar has always gotten me excitied for each of there gta games and iv is no excepetion.
But what Does Boon go and do he goes with a idea made up all by himself and doesn't let fans tell him if we'd like that idea or not. He just automatically assures he will make the game good enough that this new game will attract fans. And no Fatalities and it being a teen game is just more sickening seriously It feels like he ripped the hearts out of us mortal kombat fans and there is the fatality on that.
