    Hey, wanted to quickly let everyone know that we'll have more stuff on MK vs. DC Universe later today. Ed Boon and crew came through the office this morning for a pair of interviews, so we'll have video, a special podcast, and more words about the game itself.

    So 5PM pacific is like the middle of the night here. DAMN YOU TIME ZONES!!!!!!

    Here's an idea, we should force the whole world to work by GMT, and force all you americans and canadians and such to get up and work in the dark and everything. Viva (pinata) la resistance!!!!!!!!!!

    I'll watch it, but I would be more excited if the game wasn't prepared to suck. This new MK looks terrible.

    It doesn't have QTE's......that is the system where one player presses different attack buttons, and if the other player hits the same button as the other player it will counter them. Its just visually showing what buttons each player were hitting.

    I don't understand all this hate, I for one am happy to try something new, and even a little quirky as this looks in places. I agree some things looked F up, like the free fall fighting, but if it's implemented well and are done in a way that results in fun, I don't give a fuck. This is MK, me fan, this is DC, me fan, for others like me none of us are going to give a fuck about little else when we can put Luthor up against Superman LOL.

    This shit is destined to bring the kid out in me, and that's what I really want from games these days I am finding. SF4 will likely make me more happy but I think this will hit the spot elsewhere.

    I think this may very well be the first fighting game I'm actually interested in. I'm hoping you do the review, Jeff. I'd love to see how the game turns out.

    Free fall combat looks fine, as it's definitely something to do than to just watch a couple doods falling (although if it went by a tad bit quicker, that would be nice).


    It's the CQC crap after you grab someone that's going to end up bugging the shit out of folks, I guarantee it.

    Yeah, that's a QTE.

    Personally, as an MK fan, there is a lot that they are messing with that wasn't broken in the first place.  I followed MK even when I shouldn't have:

    MK Mythologies (Sub-Zero AND Special Forces)
    MK 4
    Shaolin Monks
    Armageddon

    Nonetheless, despite my dedication, this is the first one that turns me off.
