There's a trailer out and an interview.
And, of course, people are complaining, saying how it's stupid and how it "ruins" Mortal Kombat. Seriously? What the hell? I thought everyone already knew Mortal Kombat was ridiculous! Did you guys miss the second movie? Did you notice Dan Forden coming from the side of the screen screaming "Toasty!" And the over-the-top, unrealistic gore?
I was reading the official forum for this new game and one guy was like, "MK is from my childhood and you ruined it." Pshh. MK is from my childhood. Batman is from my childhood. I'm sure if I had any Mortal Kombat action figures, I would've made them fight my Batman one(s).
This game has the potential to be a lot of fun. Some great characters kicking the crap out of each other. It shouldn't be seen as anything more than that...however all this talk of the idea being "ridiculous" or "nonsensical" is ruining all that.
First there were people complaining about Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur, now this. THEY'RE GOD DAMN VIDEO GAMES!
