Boon promises Mortal Kombat 8 will be "real serious" |

Ed Boon tells CVG that Mortal Kombat 8 from Midway will be "a real serious Mortal Kombat." Okay, that got CVG's attention - and ours - please explain.It's going to be a fighting game, definitely, but after that anything can go. 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.
Ed suggest that MK8 will be grittier and dirtier than before - helps to have Unreal on your side, perhaps - "We're not going to joke around in this one, it's not going to be like jokes."
Ah, something about the PS3 now. Yes, they're looking at ways to take advantage of SIXAXIS motion-sensing. But as to peeking at that, and at the game in general, he says that even a first reveal is most likely "a year away."

Be "real serious" about competing with the Tekken series and I will take a look.

I'm still waiting for a respectable revision of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon to come out for the 360 and PS3, but I guess I'm just holding my breath, huh?

if yes, they'll be my choice. motion sensing feature useless for beat em ups i think. maybe for the wii because of the controll sheme of it but mortal kombat for wii is more a fun game than a professional fighting game.

And i think 1,2,3 and trilogy were the best all the 2d mortal kombat were amazing i even enjoyed 4 and gold it seems like deadly alliance and deception and armageddon just really looked cheasy they were all real bulky and everyone looked like a wrestler in them games and most of the woman fighters looked pretty ugly also they just need to start over from 1.

Without John and Ed on a team we will never see MK the way it started out. Is Dan Forden still part of the MK team? if not we need him too. Bring back the live actors, 2-3 fatalities for each character, i actually liked the friendships. A few stage fatalities, not every single damn level. And get rid of the 3000+characters. 18 is plenty no more than 24.

Go watch an interview with any company, their people will usually use the word "like" incorrectly and many other slang words.
