  • YME1280, on 08/15/2008, -9/+32When I read the title I was like wtf? After watching the video I def want to play this game.
    • carter1337, on 08/16/2008, -10/+1Same here. It's a strange mash-up, but as long as Christian Bale is on the cover, I'm sure it will be fantastic (lulz)
    • InSectWar, on 08/16/2008, -9/+1น้ำทะเลสูงขึ่น?
    • arcanesmile, on 08/16/2008, -2/+1coolest game i've seen in a while
  • deviantbono, on 08/15/2008, -11/+56Looks a lot better than it will play.
    • Gimjee, on 08/16/2008, -8/+19It looks like crap to me.
      • dandonia, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Yeah I don't think graphically it looks any good, but I think the new gameplay additions will be fun, though there seems to be an issue with missing moves when you pull someone in close combat. Each time they do it in that demo the guy misses the first attack which sorta sucks. Saying that - it wasn't a good video clip to show. The guy playing didn't seem too good at the game.

        It's something I would buy, though I hope it comes to PSN, becuase I would sooner download it than get it on disc, like my ultimate mortal kombat 3 on 360. I love mortal kombat games multiplayer, but single player - I only ever want to play like 5 minutes so disc swapping+loading for 5 minutes is hardly worth it. but if it's on the HDD already - I will play it more often just because it's easy to access.

        .. Am I lazy or normal?
      • Nyuura, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2well its not finished. but from what i've read from people who've played it, it goes back to good ole 2d gameplay. so naturally i'm excited since i've always found 2d fighting games to play better than 3d ones.
    • PeckerSlap, on 08/16/2008, -3/+8looks ***** awesome!
    • h4mx0r, on 08/16/2008, -2/+5Goddamnit Superman, stop using heat ray on Scorpion's balls.
    • dave8910, on 08/16/2008, -5/+6I never liked how Mortal Kombat plays..
  • darthsand, on 08/15/2008, -7/+11finally, im so hyped for this game
  • JesusTeaseUs, on 08/15/2008, -7/+20This looks pretty neat. But man I would love to see a Marvel Universe vrs. Soul Caliber Universe game. I've always found the Mortal Kombat games to be a bit klunky and sluggish in their controls. Hopefully this one will be different.
  • Ooddiey, on 08/15/2008, -9/+52Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 will always be the best fighting.
    • Kordras, on 08/16/2008, -1/+2I wish I could get it for my PS2 again for less than $80. :(
      • Ooddiey, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1I have it but i thew away the case....
      • ganymede2010, on 08/16/2008, -1/+4When i buy my first house that's the only Arcade Machine I'm going to buy. Marvel VS Capcom to. You can purchase the SEGA NAOMI boards from Ebay:) This game is a timeless classic.
      • KaliKot, on 08/17/2008, -0/+3Torrent and Modchip/SwapMagic
      • beefchi, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1beat me to it. i bought swap magic 3.6 and downloaded mvc2 off of demonoid, has faster loads times and is an extremely small file for being a ps2 game.
    • DarKEVA02, on 08/16/2008, -8/+4KOF is the best :P
    • Bakerer, on 08/16/2008, -4/+0Any suggestions for an emulator to play it? :)
    • bawitback, on 08/16/2008, -3/+2X-Men Vs Street Fighter - Sega Saturn 4MB RAM Cart first!
    • iMoth, on 08/17/2008, -1/+2one of
    • Mpwns, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1there is a MvC3 sorta http://www.capcom.co.jp/tatsucap/ there was a play test at evo for it but its still onknown if its coming to states. and ono said after sf3 is out on consoles he would like to make a MvC3 or a darkstalkers game next. also 2008 is the revenge of the fighters so many high profile fighters coming out this year, only thing missing to make this year over the top is vf6.
  • gbarberi, on 08/16/2008, -9/+33Superman > anyone from Mortal Kombat. There's just no competition.
    • bobbi21, on 08/16/2008, -0/+4Flash should be too. While the magic weakness does apply to superman, it doesn't counter either of their superspeed. But then again you never even see that played out well in the comics.

      Superman still should smash them all but its a game with characters from different universes. It's never going to be accurate.
    • aimhelix, on 08/16/2008, -1/+1I agree. Superman should take 0 damage hit points but be able to give 3,000,000% with a jab.
    • draegloth, on 08/17/2008, -0/+8Yeah, but Batman + Kryptonite ring > Superman, so Batman is king.
      • caracter2, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2Paper beats rock but it does NOT beat scissors. Batman wouldn't stand a chance against some of the more supernatural characters from the Mortal Kombat universe.
  • welliwonder, on 08/16/2008, -12/+16No Fatalities = :-(
  • sycx1, on 08/16/2008, -25/+4You are all idiots. the MK team is just trying to make some cash off of not only the hype already behind the DC universe, but ride on the coat-tails of the extremely succesfully CAPCOM VS games. I am never playing mortal kombat again.. MK2 was the last MK worth playing anyways.

    Besides isnt it a well known fact that 3d fighting games = fail?

    2D or gtfo.

    Buried cuz 99% of all video games made past 1992 suck.
    • bawitback, on 08/16/2008, -8/+3He speaks the truth
    • Urbanninja622, on 08/17/2008, -2/+2What the hell are you both talking about? Put down your SNES controller and play something modern danmit!
  • pdavda, on 08/16/2008, -4/+23http://digg.com/xbox/Mortal_Kombat_vs_DC_Universe_ ...
    • badwithcomputer, on 08/16/2008, -6/+36wow. can't believe i duped myself within a month...and with a significantly less clever title. sorry guys- i submit a lot of stuff and dupe check (for whatever reason) just didn't pick this up and i forgot all about submitting this video weeks ago. honest mistake. bury this ***** if you already saw it ~3 weeks ago and please be patient with me while remembering that badwithcomputer is by no means just a clever name. i'm seriously borderline retarded.
      • MasterTroll, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1Hmmm.....
      • Four20, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1i was gonna say. . .is it 2 weeks ago already
      • PRlME, on 08/16/2008, -1/+2thanks for the dup...i had missed it
      • FatPig78, on 08/16/2008, -0/+0yea this has been on gametrailers.com for about a month now since the end of e 3 and and beggining or comicon
      • LeviTheSmith, on 08/17/2008, -1/+1im boardaling reatarded tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
      • toasterweasel, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1It's ok, most of digg is borderline retarded too. That's why your submissions get so many diggs. Even the dupes apparently.
    • likwidtek, on 08/16/2008, -2/+4so good it was worth another submission
  • uncertainty, on 08/16/2008, -3/+36Does anyone else hear what is Superman's other weakness is? Is hear kryptonite, but I can't tell what the other thing is. I'm just super curious.
  • itsripitsrip, on 08/16/2008, -2/+7hopefully the gameplay will be better than the past 3D mk's..

    and the flash looks like he's going to kick ass.
  • xerograde, on 08/16/2008, -1/+3The movement seems a bit rigid, but some of the moves/combos look fun. I am still teetering whether or not I should buy this game. I think a rental will suffice.
    • Morac, on 08/16/2008, -1/+1The movement is rigid because that's an alpha version of the game that was demoed at E3. I'm assuming by the time it's released, they have cleaned it up.
      • Narishma, on 08/16/2008, -0/+3Unfortunately if past MK games are any indication it will remain as stiff as it is now when they ship it.
  • GTOFan350, on 08/16/2008, -3/+48Whats next, Hello Kitty vs Silent Hill???
    • bawitback, on 08/16/2008, -0/+2noice
    • CobaltBlue, on 08/16/2008, -1/+5I think that Hello Kitty Island Adventure vs World of Warcraft would be more fun.
    • arunforce, on 08/16/2008, -0/+2My money is on Hello Kitty.
    • likwidtek, on 08/16/2008, -0/+3Now that's what I call a sticky situation!
  • BoonSaibot, on 08/16/2008, -5/+0i bought armageddon the other day, didn't even play it, they need to go back and make mk trilogy online
    • wentwj, on 08/16/2008, -0/+3I think if you buy a game, and then go bash it before playing it, you need to examine your spending habits. Not saying it isn't a bad game, but... what exactly switched you from "hmm.. I'll pick this game up" to "hmm... this game sucks", without even putting it in?
      • BoonSaibot, on 08/17/2008, -0/+0well i first played it for wii, the air combo system was cool but the controls were horrible so i figured it would be better with the ps3 controller. The game isn't bad but it's not better than trilogy, i paid like $12 for armageddon so that wasn't the problem
  • LemonChicken, on 08/16/2008, -4/+18Kryptonite and WHAT?!
    • Vorsuc, on 08/16/2008, -0/+24Magic.
    • WhiteMike87, on 08/16/2008, -11/+3ya, it's gay.
    • wentwj, on 08/16/2008, -0/+18But magic is his other ACTUAL weakness, they didn't make it up for this game (or if they did, they just happened to get lucky), in the comics he is actually weak to magic.
    • bobbi21, on 08/16/2008, -2/+8That is one of superman's actual weaknesses. If you're a superman fan you should know this.
      • WhiteMike87, on 08/17/2008, -6/+1not superman fan so i guess we shouldnt
        marvel>dc
    • jc7012, on 08/16/2008, -8/+2^^^nerd.
    • tehknotte, on 08/16/2008, -7/+2LOL
    • JollyDumple, on 08/17/2008, -1/+1Magic? Really? I actually thought he said ninjas.
    • thegamingguy, on 08/17/2008, -0/+0magic of course, although that pretty much leaves the door open for just about anything.
  • MasterTroll, on 08/16/2008, -7/+3FINISH HIM
  • theshalit, on 08/16/2008, -1/+7Skorpion got ***** the hell up. Flash looks surprisingly fun to play.
  • Bakerer, on 08/16/2008, -1/+23I wanna see Sub-Zero rip out Auqaman's spine!
    • FreddieD, on 08/16/2008, -1/+3Hey so, can you get me a Dewers and Soda, and can you try to keep the salt water out of it? Im just saying TRY...
    • punkcat, on 08/17/2008, -0/+3its not in aquaman's best interest to fight someone who can freeze water.
  • Depravo, on 08/16/2008, -9/+4Wouldn't the game be better without the Mortal Kombat license dragging it down? You can paint a cowpat gold and call it a dubloon but it's still a cowpat.

    Come on Mr Boon, stop trying to polish your turd.
  • brokenworlds, on 08/16/2008, -10/+5This was on digg a few weeks ago
  • threepm, on 08/16/2008, -6/+1awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • PeckerSlap, on 08/16/2008, -2/+33why does superman punch like a retard
    • felipe82, on 08/16/2008, -1/+15because he is
    • Nyuura, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1none of the characters movesets are final. it could just be placeholder animations.
  • bigstinky, on 08/16/2008, -3/+8I think the game looks pretty darn nice. It's been a while since I've thought about MK. I was a Street Fighter II guy, but Motal Kombat was fun for me if was watching someone with expert skills. I never had the brainpower to memorize all the finishing moves...

    I know...Geek cred -3

    The physical motion of the fighters never seemed fluid to me in MK, but I like how this one looks alot.
    • aelias, on 08/16/2008, -4/+2SF4 is going to pwn this *****.
    • anachronaut, on 08/17/2008, -1/+1Never could stand the MK series myself... SF2-style fighters are much more fluid and natural to play, so I spent my time and quarters mastering those. This game itself looked pretty good, but the gameplay is going to completely suck (for people like me that hate MK) due to the MK-style mechanics.
    • Mpwns, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1mk went down hill when it went 3d. also i always disliked the block button and i think over time that also helped to kill that game. im sure if they got rid of it and moved blocking to the joystick like every other fighter people would go back to it. and don't get me started on the run button another pointless button that could have been set to the joy stick as well.
  • Ch3mn3rd, on 08/16/2008, -4/+4I can't even put into words how excited I am for this game.
  • Asianwaste, on 08/16/2008, -5/+13This vid is over a month old.
  • bawitback, on 08/16/2008, -8/+1Look like a Sega Dreamcast game, what happened?
    • AmericanGunner, on 08/16/2008, -1/+8you lost your eyesight in a terrible accident.
    • wentwj, on 08/16/2008, -0/+8they compressed it to play in a flash player on a browser.
    • tehknotte, on 08/16/2008, -2/+2did ur balls drop off
    • jdoo, on 08/16/2008, -0/+5dreamcast is awesome powah thats how!
  • riggs32, on 08/16/2008, -5/+1this kinda made me hope for a flash game.
  • fracaso089, on 08/16/2008, -3/+3not to say it's a bad vid, but its at least a couple weeks old
  • AzraDarkness, on 08/16/2008, -5/+3NERDGASM!
  • shoguner, on 08/16/2008, -4/+3they swing their arms like drunk hobos! i'll get Street Fighter 4 instead.
  • Amadeus2490, on 08/16/2008, -1/+4Crap.
  • swordphish, on 08/16/2008, -1/+5Kan we please stop replacing "c" with "k" everywhere? "Klose Kombat" - k'mon, I mean...really. I suppose Superman will be koming out of the kloset once he katches Batman karessing his kubes. Aside from that, the game looks awesome.
  • Solusar, on 08/16/2008, -2/+7Old..Buried.
  • humblechild, on 08/16/2008, -6/+6The graphics look like it could have been better.
    • Tommydukes, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2why would you get burried for this comment.

      its dead on.

      the graphics are choppy and very weak IMHO. The effects they tried to throw in such as stones flying up from the ground on some moves and the fire in the backgrounds looks like *****.
  • tehknotte, on 08/16/2008, -1/+4LOL @ when Batman gets subzerowned
  • bonjovisucks, on 08/16/2008, -0/+13the animations still look horribly choppy
  • SittinSidewayz, on 08/16/2008, -4/+1Looks awesome to me
  • b3astie, on 08/16/2008, -4/+2I had my doubts, and I normally don't play fighting games, but that ***** looks jawsome.
  • banido, on 08/16/2008, -2/+4This game would be better off without the DC Universe part. They just don't fit together... one thing I always liked about MK is the characters not wearing STRETCHY GAY COSTUMES. Superman and Flash look extremely gay next to Scorpion or Sub-Zero...Batman is ok though. Catwoman is just...stupid.

    I would rather have Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter.
  • Sterango, on 08/16/2008, -4/+2The only thing that looks interesting about this game is when you can battle it out in the air falling down to the next level, otherwise it's the same lame ass faux 3d MK gameplay and everyone still has a whopping array of 3 special moves. Wow.
  • LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/16/2008, -6/+1Um...wow...could this be an any more lame game combination?! Who the heck cares about ANYTHING with the MK moniker on it? Honestly????

    How LOW has DC sunk if they are licensing this kind of bottom of the bargain bin derivative cross franchise crap?!
  • rex84, on 08/16/2008, -2/+1Dude said Superman is vulnerable to kryptonite and magic, does that mean Batman can never beat him?
    • innocentsinner, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1Batman can't obtain kryptonite?
      • rex84, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1I don't know, I haven't played the game.
      • Nyuura, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2batman has already beaten superman. kryptonite gauntlets ftw.
    • HangoverBoy, on 08/18/2008, -0/+0I think the general magic brought on by the Outworld or Otherworld, or Netherrealm or whatever MK is calling it these days weakens superman. not the fighters themselves. Just the environment in general.
  • egthareal, on 08/16/2008, -2/+1ME likey
  • sgvprelude, on 08/16/2008, -0/+5Give Wonder Woman and Sonya Blade a pair of pillows and I'll buy this.
  • ireland88, on 08/16/2008, -0/+2I would be so stoked if they came up with a cool way to have the Wonder Twins in this.
  • chudgoo, on 08/16/2008, -0/+2Am I the only one that will only be playing MK characters and only fighting against the boring and predictable DC pretty boy characters?
    • Nyuura, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1i definitly wanna play batman and joker. i was big on kabal in mk3 and mk:d so the flash looks like he'll be a good one to play as.
    • thegamingguy, on 08/17/2008, -0/+0I am the exact opposite I am anxious to play as the DC characters rather than the same MK "Karakters" that we have been playing with for years.
  • version22l, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1the gameplay doesnt look as smooth compared with games like soul caliber or dead or alive
    • cylemmulo, on 08/16/2008, -0/+0My thoughts exactly, fighting looks clunky
    • Nyuura, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1soul calibur has smooth fighting?

      i wouldn't have known that from all the kilik players online.
  • helmz, on 08/16/2008, -6/+1Gameplay looks good. But looking at Mortal Kombat characters against DC's are no match for them, MK characters look stupid compared to DC, they are far more superior. Its my personal opinion, and / or I might have seen Superman and Batman go through so much and kicking lots of badasse$ in big screens.
  • christophe971, on 08/16/2008, -2/+2N E E D
  • DarkoKun, on 08/16/2008, -2/+3Wow this looked better then I thought it would.
