"We sat down with Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon tonight to chat about his latest project, Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe. Once again, we pestered Mr. Boon about the scrapped version of Mortal Kombat 8, once described by the long-term Midway dev as being heavily inspired by the look of Gears of War.

While that grittier, darker version of MK didn't make it far beyond the technology development stages — Boon told us there was little in the way of concept art for the grimier spin on the series — the next next Mortal Kombat may strive for more blood, more violence, more of everything that warrants an M-rating.

The artistic vision of a less saturated, less Superman filled fighter is still swimming around Boon's head, a title that may rest on the success of MK vs. DC. We spent more time with the crossover fighter tonight and talked with Boon about plenty of other MK-related topics. Tune in tomorrow for the rest of our conversation."

I like MK VS DC but would have rather had a full fledged MK game.

They have a great cast of fighters in Mortal Kombat.

They just need to put them in a decent fighting game. -_-

BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD! Give me a break! It's been on the franchise since the beginning you think that would be a given by now not a hyping point,  what about giving us some f*cking decent control? Oh and stop with the "mature" crap, it may work on the 13 year old with acne but your franchise got a much older audience incase you didnt notice, the game are juvenile to the extreme and with like it that way!
