I know I don’t care, the only fighter I care about is Tekken. I didn’t like Street Fighter IV or MK vs. DC and SoulCalibur was just OK. I can’t wait for Tekken and I hope they include the bowling mini-game that was in Tekken Tag Tournament for the PS2.

Sounds great. The Mortal Kombat series has definitely gone downhill, but that doesn’t mean they can’t pull off a comeback.

man Mortal Kombat I haven’t played that since PS1 era. I believe the one on the PS1 was the best and the others are no where close.

The only good MK’s in my opinion is MK3, MK trilogy, Ultimate MK3

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was by far the best of the MK series IMO. I could play that forever with friends.
What they really need to do is implement the run feature again, and make combo’s ridiculous how they used to be.

Wait and see for me.

Mortal Kombat is a prime example of beating a dead horse. Where’s the new Killer Instinct???

wow, I guess no one here played Mortal Kombat 2, that was the SF2 of MK. MK3 was just a successful sequel (unlike SF’s sequels). Animalities and Brutalities can’t stand up to Babalities and Friendships.
anyway, I hate how Job listings sound so over the top. “revolutionize online play” (to translate into common language that isn’t overhyped) Online play without lag and maybe an average ranking system.

Mortal Kombat 2, on the PSN, had online.
Also, this article has a pretty homoerotic title at first glance.

if its like deadly alliance I would play it

guys..guys..back to roots obviously doesn’t mean 2d graphics and sprites. I hope that “revolutionize” strives to perfect the small bugs of online gameplay in MK vs DC. Bugs simple as Lag error, it is impossible to execute our highest % combos and user created combos online because online lag errors are disabling users from connected special moves. Please throw enough players in this game, Please have alt. costumes. We learn the combos, we master them, then we just play eachother til the clock ticks 0. We need more characters, DLC, something!
