EA/Dice, take note: This is what happens when you just keep trying to pump out Mortal Kombat (or any other franchise) titles.

we knew this was going to happen, didn't we?
when that dude bought the company for like $150k or something silly?

all the awesome game developers are going down the toilet :(

end of an era :(

when I heard about Mortal Kombat vs DC Comics I knew something wasn't right, I had a feeling that they were in trouble and made a last desperate attempt to ease the pain/pull them out.

I think the real shame was that MK vs DC could have been awesome, but instead was marred by so many poor decisions...

The whole franchise was pretty dated.

I can't even guess to how many sequels Ed and Tobias made.


RIP MKII

Include sega/nintendo in that list for recent sonic/mario abominations.

mario abominations

wait, wat?

Yer, Sonic has been a bit of a fail-cake recently but Mario has been largely successful. Even his titles that don't review so well still sell.

I hope the Midway IP finds a good time. They might have lost the plot with Kombat for the most part, but they still had some redeeming features.

Also Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is still _the_ best co-op beat-em up I've played in the last 10 years, I rate it above The Warriors.

I can't even guess to how many sequels Ed and Tobias made.

The 'vs DC' project was originally named "MK8" if that gives you any hints..

It's strange, Shaolin Monks from 2005 was apparently the 9th. Maybe a branch.

Could be that the 'MK8' referred to it being the 8th in the 'beat em up' series. There's been a number of non-1v1 fighting MK titles..
