D.A.N. Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Why DC let NetherRealm have this license is beyond me. Potential to be a disaster is very high here. The character design looks very odd. The environment gameplay that Ed Boon keeps building up makes me laugh. We saw the exact same shit in Dead or Alive 3 over ten years ago. It's not groundbreaking.

It's not groundbreaking. ^ Only part I agree with. NetherRealm probably still have the license from MK vs DC maybe? I'm buying this on Day One. Comic Fan must-buy. It seems like the character designs are mixtures of The New 52 and DC Universe Online. DC Universe Online being the main influence and the New 52 for the armored suits. Almost everyone has armored suits now. I think Black Canary, Green Arrow, Sinestro, Hal Jordon, Joker, Clayface, Bizarro, Superboy, Nightwing and Lex Luthor should all be in.

A game about comics simply existing doesn't make it a must buy for comic fans. It looks like a generic fighting game right now. I love comics too and this doesn't even have me mildly interested in it. There isn't anything must buy about seeing NetherRealm go for round two with DC characters in a fighting game when they already failed miserably on it before.

Alex. Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm buying it regardless of how it turns out. MK Characters is the only thing that held me back from buying MK vs DC tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honor Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm getting it for a playable Soloman Grundy. I hope Deathstroke is also in this one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Why? They'll probably reuse his MKDC model like they did for Arkham City Lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honor Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'd hope not. I was thinking something more along the lines of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Øhlin Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'd hope not. I was thinking something more along the lines of this. This! I really like how Harleyquin looks. I'd love to see a few Vertigo guys make the game like Rosarch, Dream, V, Swamp Thing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'd doubt any Vertigo guys make it, however it is possible since I think the Vertigo and DC Universe are actually one right now. Swamp Thing is probably the only probable person. This game is expected to have 28 Characters, so don't rule out Red Hood, Deadshot, etc or anyone that uses guns/archery.

DarkestBug Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Gameplay doesn't seem that different from MK2011 with the added car throwing/smashing through buildings...and I assume the X-ray counterpart involves big ass moves such as when Superman uppercutted Flash into space lol. Gameplay doesn't seem something new but it doesn't always have to be "ground-breaking" Netherealm should stick to their guns, the MK2011 gameplay was great. It will be better then making another MK vs DC game anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vunter Slaush Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 The first screenshot looks god awful. Superhero fighting games are never really a thing for me, Marvel vs Capcom was okay but I still never bought it because the only fighting game I'll ever play a lot is SF3: Third Strike.

D.A.N. Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ed Boon has confirmed the game will be 2D which is at least some good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 It seemed that way to me in the trailer. I just noticed that Wonder Woman is wearing pants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.N. Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I just noticed that Wonder Woman is wearing pants... Which is surprising since this is a NetherRealm game. One would expect her to be dressed like Mileena. Still looks better than Flash, Batman, and Superman though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.N. Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Anyone think Doomsday or Darkseid will make the roster cut? Darkseid should be the final boss. Both would be very viable picks for a game like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maskedmaniac Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 This game doesn't look anywhere near as bad as some people are saying. As for the way the characters look, it's pretty much in the same style as MK9, in that game I always thought Liu Kang, Raiden and a few others looked kinda odd...

D.A.N. Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 After seeing the gameplay during E3, it's almost carbon copy of MK9. No reason for people who enjoyed that not to buy this. The dashing, animations, lots of the stuff is ripped straight from it just like how MK vs DC had DC characters using throwaway movesets from MK Armageddon. Not happy about it, but the gameplay still looks solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Boomtubes. 'Nuff said. Also, I never played any of those games you listed so it'll be a good new experience for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharmalove Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hopefully Aquaman,Jonah Hex, Cheetah, & Poison Ivy are in it. And everyone who was in MK vs DC Universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok_3000 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Anyone think Doomsday or Darkseid will make the roster cut? Would love to see both featured in the game, as well as Bane. I may get this game, but it's not gonna be a day-one buy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
