18-04-2008 8:34pm#1First trailer out now....Gamespot wrote:MK vs. DCU will introduce several new elements that the team is hoping will make battles more dynamic. The three major ones that are ready to be discussed are Klose Kombat, Freefall Kombat, and stage interaction. Klose Kombat is a mode you'll initiate which pulls in the camera in close and has its own separate mechanics. Basically, when you initiate the mode you'll be the aggressor and your opponent will be on defense. In this closer view you'll be able to attack your foe's upper body with different types of blows for a set period of time, the exact duration of which is still being ironed out. To keep things fair, your opponent will be able to perform a number of different defensive moves to dodge your attacks, provided they're fast.
Freefall Kombat is another change of pace, tied in part to stage interaction. The mode is another player initiated sequence which is kicked off by you flinging your foe off a stage. Unlike previous games you won't just follow them down or watch yourself drop. Instead the camera willl come in and you'll be able to fight on the way down. You'll have a slightly tweaked set of possible attacks in this mode, much like Klose Kombat. From what we've seen, it appears your big motivation in these sequences is to gain the advantage on the way down and land on your opponent, for an added damage bonus. Part of this mode is tied to the stages, which appear to feature a different basic design than the previous games. The fighting areas will be a bit wider, to support throwing your opponent through walls and, in some cases, much taller, to allow enough time for fighting during freefall. Since these new elements should definitely change the flow of battle, the team is spending a lot of time figuring out the right amount of time for them to last. In addition, the fighting moves of the MK cast are getting an upgrade to let them go toe-to-toe with established and powerful characters like Superman.
A more potentially controversial change to the system is the game's fatalities. According to Boon, there will definitely be fatality-like finishing moves, but they may not be called fatalities. After all, it's doubtful that Superman or Batman would be ripping out anyone's spines or hearts. That said, the team is hellbent on pushing the limits to what they can do with the DC characters, so you can expect to see blood and some level of damage accumulate during a fight.

Anyway Mortal Kombat has always been a rubbish series, i don't see why people are acting surprised that this one looks horrendous.

Would obtaining an English degree in those 21 years helpthelordofcheese wrote: »Ahh, the "I'm soooooooooooo mature" approach.
Nice one.
But, i'd re-think how you've spent those twenty one years seeing as you are having troubles with basic reading comprehension.
Kharn said only someone who had never read any comics would make such a stupid statement, not "only somone who isn't currently reading comics".
I perfectly understood what he was saying, smart arse. 0 -

Well done. Was there a module in condescension? :pac:
I agree with your original point though, most people don't read comics, so most people wouldn't know many DC folk beyond Batman, Superman, Flash and Green Lantern tbh...
I don't agree with you trying to make out that people who read comics are immature. Makes ya look kinda bad coming out with that kinda tripe.
After all, you are posting in a gaming forum, which a lot of older people would regard as something for children. :pac:0
