MK vs. DC to have 20+ characters, download support

by Jason Dobson { Jul 16th 2008 at 10:30PM }

Even cynics like us have to admit at least a passing curiosity with the nerd orgasm that is Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and its cross-universe roster. Earlier today we approached the game's production coordinator, Hector Sanchez, and while he would not let us in on the game's complete lineup, he admitted that the team is looking to feature between 20 to 25 characters, "split up evenly half and half, and then split up again between heroes and villains."

Additionally, while talking about possible alternate costumes or other unlockables, Sanchez told us that the team is "planning to support downloadable content," before stopping short and saying he "was going to say something" but couldn't. Downloadable characters seems the obvious source of his pursed lips, making us continue wondering what comic book icons will be further ground beneath the heel of Midway's floundering franchise.

I'd be happy to pay for downloadable Batman appearances through the ages

That's nice, but how about a downloadable version of The Grid? Am I the only one who noticed how [Yahtzee]STONKIN' GREAT[/Yahtzee] that game was? Everybody should play it once in their lives...

THATS NOT BLOOD, ITS KETCHUP, JUST SO YOU KNOW.

I can't wait for this game. Well, I'm looking forward to both MK vs DC and Street Fighter 4.

A nerd orgasm? I believe the proper term is nerdgasm.

I'm not excited for this game at all.

seriously...how many fatalities does one need to perform in a lifetime? they day that i pick this up is the day that i go out and find NBA Jam TE (tournament edition for the non hipsters). I'd rather "heat up" then get on fire then do the same old liu kang bicycle kick

If Booster Gold is a downloadable character(or even better, on the disc) I would be happy to fellate each and every one of the devs. No homo.

Couldn't give two sh!ts about this game. No one but the dev team ever wondered who would win between Batman and sub zero. I can't wait for this to be released so someone rips out frames of this game and turns the DC characters into respectable Mugen entities. Then we could find out who wins between Batman and Wolverine!

I am SO SICK of Joystiq negative-nancy articles. This is really getting ridiculous - they have become that which I hate...a review site that thinks they get credibility by making snarky and sarcastic remarks.

It doesn't work - go back to being relaxed. We as readers don't need bad attitude - only honesty.
