I just played the demo and I gotta say that Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe, was a much better looking game, way more advanced, better fighting, better everything really..

Mortal Kombat 9 feels like an early ps2 game..wtf?

I'm getting DC universe back, rather than waste money on this 'new' game...

When I played the demo I thought the same thing. Except its not as fun as the PS2 games. Just felt sluggish.

Never really got into the MK playstation games....Tekken and Soul Blade/Calibur are the only beat em ups like on it.

The graphics are good but the animation is very dated. They went back to their roots to copy Streetfighter 4's old school approach.

really? I dont think even the graphics are good..I think it's a lame effort at reviving a genre..even Mortal Kombat:Shaolin Monks was way better...there's nothing in this game that says 'new' or 'next gen'...it's a ps2 game in a ps3 box.

Well, a lot of it is down to taste. It's aesthetics in the end. Technically, everything is very good, with some really excellent stuff in there. But technical superiority is worth nothing if the artists can't make it look good.

I haven't seen it, but are they going for a classic look?

(again, havent seen it, maybe it is just shitty looking and not classic)

yeah a 'classic' look...or, as I'd coin it, 'a sh*tty half-assed look'....I don't see what excellent stuff is in there, granted I've only played the demo.

As I said, it looks, feels and plays like a ps2 game, I can confidently say, without any technical knowledge whatsoever, that the ps2 could handle this game or better.

If you've played Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe then you know how good they could have made it look. Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks was better again, with missions and MP fighting, awesome moves, a silly amount of Kharacters and a lot of background stuff and side missions etc...MK9, by comparison to either of those games, is a weak pathetic offering.

I won't be buying it, because to do so would be to endorse developer laziness, lack of imagination and general 'throw-it-out-there-and-hope-some-fools-buy-it-ness'

edited:I meant MK Shaolin Monks on the ps2...MK Konquest was the animated series I think...

Truth: Fighting games belong in the 90s.

Nah, Ronin's like that too.

Tbh, I'm picky about fighting games. I'm not really a big fans of the classic 2d fighting games where you just move left to right. Didnt like SF4 even though everyone loved it.

I like the "kiddy" fighting games. Super Smash Bros, that Naruto game, etc because you actually move around. You're not so limited in movement, and they're fast paced.

The reason I liked Armageddon was for the Story mode, just a good time waster and back when I played it I was like 12 so I wasnt too nitpicky. Plus I always played it with my cousin which made it more fun for me.
