    Looks cool, not a big fan of all the reused animations dating way back to MK Deadly Alliance though. I just hope the fighting system isn't completely broken like the last few MK's.

    I hope they add more characters, like Doomsday and Shao Khan. The environments are looking great. I hope the fighting controls are like in the old mk2 so people other than gamers can enjoy the damn game. I think that's what ruined the newer games, the went in an changed the moves. Refering to MK4 and up. WTF. I hope the Fatalities are more like the ones in Mk1 and Mk2, in other word over the top. there is not point in saying rated M if they are not. If DC didn't want blood in the game they should of gone with Pokemon or Disney. WTF... LOL

    To be Honest the best game would be Killer Instinct vs MK with freaking good fatalities. Why haven't you pros thought of this yet it can't be harder than building a Superman game.

    It's a cool idea but art really lets it down.

    The character modeling is pretty good from what I've seen. But man, the animations are a huge let down. They feel so stiff and mechanical. And they're recycling way too many animations. I mean, wtf, even idles are shared across the board. The characters are totally devoid of any character 'cause they all move the same.

    Even with the constraints of game play balance, there so many fighting games out there have really nice, smooth, and dramatic animation.

    Hey Jesse, your sig says you are at Raven? What's the story? Is some of the art being contracted out to Raven, or is your sig out of date and you are in Chicago?

    Just curious.

    EDIT: NM. I checked out your resume.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. This game looks absolutely horrible to me because of the animations. I think they were going for that old school MK animated style, but to me it just looks like crap and it's a total turn off when SC4 is out and Tekken6/SF4 are on the way.

    Yeah, after seeing the other characters in action.. it looks stiff, like the older DA/Deception games. Fluidity is key to making an attractive fighter. A lot of the animations look like blends between poses in an instructional book.

    Some of Joker's stuff fits him, but other things look odd.. like watching Stallone doing floor gymnastic exercises.. o.o;;
    There should be UNIQUE fighting styles for the characters.. Joker shouldn't know <insert martial art here>.

    I am working on updating my site with all my latest work from this, Blitz, Rock Band and a few other titles. Some of my work is in the Bat Cave, Special Forces Hide Out and Oan Senate.

    I'm gonna have to pass. Midway isn't getting anymore of my money for what looks like a recycled version of their last 3 MK games with a new skin on it.

    Feetal's Gizz! There's no Lobo? Figured he'd fit right in. Guess it's better this way, it'd be a shame to see the Main Man doing a T-rated finisher.

    Actually, Quake 1 used single pixel textures for their blood and other particles. Snobby joke fail :(

    unless it plays like MK2 or MK3 i won't be picking it up. Didn't midway also lay off the development team on MK vs DC?

    Congrats on your game release Jesse!

    Yeah there are some major downfalls to this game.

    Many of them.

    But hey it's a title shipped and I made some cool stuff.

    Water under the bridge.

    and yeah...big layoffs at Midway Chicago.

    Hehe, congrats on making cool stuff.

    Though I wouldn't call any major downfalls of this game as water under the bridge. The rest of us are still potential buyers, you know.. :poly121:

    Well not the whole MKvsDC team was laid off, though most that are still around are waiting to be assigned to their next project. The lead and senior character artists got laid off (one was at odds with management and the other wasn't very good, or so I've been told).

    Anyhow, congrats on another shipped title Jesse :)

    I didn't mean water under the bridge in the sense as in I don't care about this because this was an awesome game to work on and do some stuff for. More of doesn't really matter too much to me since I left a while ago to pursue other interests more so.

    I actually liked the game, or at least what I got to play at my friends house. Maybe its because I havent played any of the more recent MK's so I dont have anything to really compare to...

    but I thought the animations were quite nice, really fluid....again havent played too much SC4 or virtua fighter 5. So no comparisons there.

    I only wish there were MORE DC characters, fuck...they coulda taken out the whole MK cast, filled it with DC characters, still call the game MK vs DC and id still be happy!
