You tried Ed, you tried.



As you can probably see in the post below, the announcement of Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe is one of epic proportions, and as you can probably se below I soon realized that it was too good to be true.


Since then a teaser trailer and interview with creator Ed Boon has come out, and as much as I want to like it, I can't and here's why.

  • Art Style : Simply the art style they've employed seems too abstract, too saturday morning TV. I appreciate MK for it's funny yet mature stylings, yet the way that Batman looks is very old-school 1960 and maybe with the stylings of McFarlane (see long, flowing cape), and to see a Batman with a very different art style is disheartening.

  • Power Explanation - Rather surprisingly I like the way Boon and co. have tackled this hurdle, rather than have a storyline that actually attempts to make sense, he left us with the simple :
"A cataclysmic event causes the DCU and MK universe to start merging"

However I was less than impressed with how there is going to be an explanation that Superman can't fly, heat ray etc. Something about Superman's abilities having been paired down. Now why would they even meddle with DC canon, simply put you either give him full abilities, or paired down ones yet there is no need for a justification for this, I personally see this as an assault on the character.

It's not all doom and gloom however, reports that there would be "little or no blood" seem to be unfounded, as seen below.



I know it's bad to judge this so early however I feel that even though I love both of the univeresi that it could be amazing. However I still have alot of faith in Ed Boon who seems really animated and enthusiastic about the project that I just hope it turns out good.

I have to admit the trailer made the game actually look promising. In the end it will be based on a slower based Midway engine compared to the M vs C engine so it probably won't be a game i'll be looking to pick up.
Onto E3 !

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to
my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
