Mortal Kombat wants to get "real serious"

What happens when an undisclosed number of game developers stop making the same blood-drenched fighting games and start getting real? A terrible Real World special. That's what. After Armageddon, MK creator Ed Boon said the next title in the franchise will be more realistic-looking and "not going to be like jokes." Indeed. It'll be an edgier move, grittier, dirtier. Darker? Whatever they plan, they're planning from scratch. Other than the idea of it being a fighting game, anything after that is open for consideration. No kart-racing, please.Boon added this about the upcoming (read: end of 2008) game: "We're not putting any restrictions like we HAVE to keep weapons or we HAVE to keep fighting styles and stuff like that... we're going to... try to introduce as many new characters as possible, new features, new stuff like that and take advantage of the amazing presentation, graphics that all of a sudden you can do, things that are a lot more real." New characters are always welcome, really. As far as features go, Boon and his Boonies (teehee, it's like Goonies) will try to incorporate the SIXAXIS controls in there and use the next-gen consoles as fully as possible. We look forward to seeing what gets revealed... next year.

How about getting serious on fixing the PS3 Mortal Kombat 2 game? That game blows chunks! Controls blow and the game is so hard! And I even got it on the easiest level! ( I'm good at games btw) I'm not the only one to say this either. Most of my PSN friends from across the US say the same thing.

Are U kidding me?
Mk2 on the ps3 is a waste of time. Which company has the #1 online network? Um that would be Microsoft with the xbox 360. They released Ultimate MK3 on the Xbox live arcade and it scored big. In fact it won the award for online fighter of the year and earned Ditil Eclipse some heavy props. So Y put such a gem on this soon to be extinct console is beyond me.
And if you dont think it's going down, heh....It's ging down. Get over it Sony is finished.
