Following the buzz of excitement surrounding an image from Poland's NEO+ magazine, Kamidogu has obtained a high-quality render of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
The image shows off Scorpion's new fighting attire, which has seen a minor but impressive facelift. The image has also been turned into a wallpaper and is now available from Kamidogu's Wallpaper section.
Also of note are two new interviews with series co-creator Ed Boon by GameTap and Crispy Gamer, in which he continues to answer a number of questions about Mortal Kombat's newest iteration.
Special thanks goes to Midway for supplying us with this amazing render. |

Gamespot have published their first impressions of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, posting a teaser trailer and also a video interview with series co-creator, Ed Boon.
In the teaser trailer, Sub-Zero can be seen fighting head-to-head with Batman in a storm-ravaged arena. A new feature also visible is a new air kombat, in which a new game mechanic shows its first colours.
Ricardo Torres, the author of the article, expresses the feelings of many die-hard Mortal Kombat fans when he says that he was extremely shocked to see Midway's latest move. Not only will this game be the culmination of the Mortal Kombat and DC Universes, but for the first time the game will tone down its violence in such a way that it will no longer attract an M rating. Just what can be expected of this game is still unknown, but everyone should keep an open mind about the possibilites.
In the video interview with Ed Boon, Ed mentions a new story mode, where two options can be made. The story involves a cataclysmic event in which both forces clash, and gamers will have the option of playing through the game from two different perspectives. He also confirmed a total of four playable characters, including Scorpion and Sub-Zero from the Mortal Kombat Universe, as well as Superman and Batman from the DC Universe.
Perhaps the game's biggest downfall could be its departure from the spine-ripping violence that has made it so popular. From the article:
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. Stay tuned as we bring you further news as it develops. In the meantime, feel free to discuss this and other topics in our forums. |
