Take a look at Mirror's Edge's upcoming demoMortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has responded to claims that fatalities are to be removed in the forthcoming MK vs. DC Universe, revealing that the popular feature will instead be modified.
Speaking to Gametop, Boon stated, “There was never any statement on our part that fatalities will be gone or that finishing moves will be gone.”
“We did acknowledge that we won’t be able to do the same kinds of outrageous moves, like tearing someone’s head off and the spine being attached to it.”
“But there are a lot of assumptions that there will be no blood in the game, that there are no fatalities in the game. It’s an assumption that, because the DC characters will be in there, those features will have to be dropped. My response is that, no, we’re modifying fatalities,” he added.
Despite this, Boon noted that the level of violence for this feature has yet to be determined, but assured gamers that they could look forward to traditional finishing moves involving a series of quick button presses at the culmination of a battle.
“But I have every intention to keep finishers. You know, to let gamers do a really cool secret button combination and follow with a really outrageous finishing move to end the match. The names of these moves, and the level of violence we use, are to be determined. But it’s certainly not a feature we plan on eliminating from the series.”
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is due out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 later this year.

if you eliminited the gory finishing moves the oly reason to play mk is because sub zero pwns :P
Boon can suger coat this all he wants. Basicaly it will be a watered down version of MK. I'll be passing on this one.
no matter what he says,this is going be worst MK series by far.
i want to see what he's talking about.
c'mon do fatilities and make it a good ps3 game. rockstar can do hookers why can't your rip someone spine out. i have the MKII for snes
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn
Tommyboy ;)
Boon: You've not only sold out the MK franchise, but you've also neutered it. The gods of Gaming hate you for it only a little less than the fans.
boon's not sugar coating it but the dc universe are super heroes and they dont kill nobody i respect that.dc universe are heroes and if they had them do fatilities then there reputation as super heroes will be questioned and shot. heroes don't kill.
i have mugen
Scorpion makes FRIENDSHIP with Batman.
End of fight!!!!
Its not gonna be the same. To be honest I was looking forward to this title until I heard (hope im wrong) that the intense blood and gore was to be removed. I remember playing MK II on Sega Genesis; some badass fatalities right there. I guess there will be something worse than the MK Movies.....jk!
fatality and brutality. that's all i need.
This game is going to be crap!
I normally don't make up my mind about a game before it comes out...but as a hardcore fighting game player, this seem like it will be HOT GARBAGE!! from the start.
My favorite Mk is shaolin monks, it got amazing 2 players gameplay and an innotive combat. i wish they would make another one like it. I could not digest Mk armageddon.
Fatalities move ia the signature of MK if they take it out it will just be another boring street fighter game...
