Awesome news, this should be good enough for Midway to pay off their debts and hopefully learn from this ordeal and focus on quality over quantity.

Doesn't anyone else miss the gore? To me, that is what made Mortal Kombat

Totally agree Mr Bun. Mortal Combat without gore is like Madden without passing.

I sure hope their next MK will be a glorious return to MK1 and MK2 times. Dark humour, gore, no respect for life, bah, full disrespect for life. I miss good'ol' MKs.
Personally I would like some more mature games. Playing the same games with kids in my nephew's age is a bit weak... Mortal Kombat 15+? Come on... I'm not gonna swallow that.

Daver: Do the math, also include TNA Impact and the causal line up Midway released in Q4 which did extremely well.

I enjoyed MKvsDC but I really hope this is a true MK sequel, with true Fatalities.

The Next MK needs:
-More diverse moves for each character (not more button combination)because each character still have the same punch/kick moves.
-Bring Create a Character back, that will top SoulcaliburIV
-Secret guess appearances from other FIGHTING games, SC, TK, DOA, SF, KOF, KI etc
-Better single player story with a NEW Never before seen Boss being the threat.
-Better online play (Tournaments, online Survival challenge, Online world tour mode)
-Better Fatalities. Fatalities have become pretty silly in the past few games.

And where the hell is Shaolin Monks2?

the only thing I enjoyed about MK vs DC was the story mode...

the next MK game ...needs to follow the SF4 route.and go back to wat made the franchise so great and stop with the whole robotic feel to the combo system

I agree m8, the whole lets imrove the graphics and add another 10 or so moves (button combination combos) is getting boring and is making the animation systme in pace feel really boring.

Bring back the days of MKIII (Trilogy)!!! And whilst there at it add in a decent enough story for each character ala Tekken, SC etc.. and a whole lot of unlockable features other than character art, and dev diarys.

Still possibly my fav 2d fighter of all time. :D

Ever since (in my opinion) the series has went 3d, it hasnt bn up to scratch in comparison to other games that made the jump, or to those that were born in the 3d generation.

Hopefully this new one won't suck.

I like the fatalities in Mortal Kombat but i couldnt get accustomed to the fighting system. I was more into Street Fighter and King of Fighters, but its just me and this will be good news for MK fans everywhere.

How about bringing it out in the arcade only. I'd like to see something bring back the cades here in the US......

8 - I'm just hoping for a Mortal Komat that...
...has all the Mortal Kombat characters and now guest stars from other figthing games. Just focus on Mortal Kombat for a change!!

A great adventure mode that's better than the one in Deception.

Don't need that create a character...I hate to see all those lame costum characters that people create and think that they are cool.

A great online mod would be awsome too.

And a huge roster of characters. Like in Armageddon.

Nope it sold that many copies on both systems combined if you go and check out the vg chartz. Even a sony rep if I can find the link said that the game was a good seller for their system lol

vg chartz would be the last place to check anything...

I skipped it cause of the T rating. No dumbed down MK for me.

I didn't buy this one, but I loved the previous gen MK games. Is it worth getting? I loved the weapon and multiple style in Deception and Armageddeon, is it here too? Or has it been cut back?

EDIT: I just thought, they should totally include Vin Disel in the next one as a secret character because of The Wheelman, isn't that Midway?

Give us the 2D gameplay back. For the past decade they have been releasing these 3D MK games and they all fail to have the gameplay formula in MK2 and UMK3 that made MK an amazing fighting game. We get these fighting games at least every 1-2 years and they are short lasting and the gameplay sucks and it's extremely broken.

What game have you been playing mk vs dc does have the 2d feel. Then you say you wish it was more like MK2 and UMK3, well if you really played this game you would notice that this game plays exactly like MK2 and UMK3 combined. I have played and own every single MK game that has come out and yes even the old tiger electronic game Lol and this game is one of their best ones yet. The reason people hate on it is because it has Dc characters in it, which I did not mind since I'm a huge Dc comics fans as well. If it sucked it would not have sold as many copies as it did, even the dude that was pissed about the announcement of this game and went on to rip the game on youtube had to take back all that he said about this game when it came out because of how fun it is lol

I didn't buy this last MK game because I didn't think it was a real MK game. I've been a fan since the early '90's. It's redemtion time for Ed Boon or the MK francise is done for good IMO. I want blood & gore back along with some nice fatalities. No more kreate-a-fatality crap.
