With Midway’s financial problems, people have been wondering what would happen to the Mortal Kombat series. Regardless of what happens to Midway, it seems that MK co-creator Ed Boon is convinced Mortal Kombat will return, and this time with bloodier, better fatalities.
Tentatively titled MK9, there isn’t much info on the series except for what Boon reveals through his twitter feed. Many posts are jokes, like this tweet: “No the fatalities we are capturing...sorry, kapturing are for the next MK9: Attack of the Nuns: Get in the Habbit !!”
Others seem serious: “Motion capturing special moves & fatalities today….they are kind of sick !!”
The last entry in the series, Mortal Kombat vs. D.C. Universe, was rated 'T for Teen' and featured fatalities that were less bloody than the rest of the series. Most fans find the old fatalities much cooler -- erm, kooler.

Yeah all of the MKs have sucked since 3. And MK2 was the best. Why do they insist on making it goofy and cartoony? Why not something more akin, in terms of "realism" akin to Tekken, Virtual Fighter, or even UFC. That would be a revolution of the franchise.

Exactly my thoughts as well. It's been proven that 2d fighters stay succesfull by keeping it 2d! SF4, KOF12, Blazblue, these are all 2d because they have historically been 2d, and it doesn't mean they can't look great either. Tekken can remain the king of 3d fighters, I think MK will have much more success with another 2d game.

i hope we see Repitle,scorpion, and sub zero. like in MK 2 bring back the baby fatalities and friendship and regular fatalities. if the game looks awesome and way better than MK VS DC i will buy it. i hope there's online rooms lik MK Vs Dc, i want them to introduce new charachters too.
motion capturing will be awesome! i'll be watching what they do to this game!

The Blooody Fatalities were the Best! i'll like To See them Back but In my Opinion, the Best of the Mortal Kombat series Were the Early Games with the The Whole 2D Fighting.

About time! The last good MK game was MK Deadly Alliance in my opinion hopefully it has alot of characters from the original MK returning maybe a prequel before MK2 and MK3? The fatalities I would care less about as I never has a fan of them since most of them were not good or bloodly enough. Hopefully this MK game has DLC for it.
