Any idea when that Boon interview is gonna be up, Jeff?

I believe that Patrick is working on writing it up and transcribing the audio as we speak. The site pages are ready for it, just awaiting the meat.

I can tip off a few things that I heard from the raw recording.

- No weapons / fighting styles.
- No mini-games like Puzzle or Motor.
- No fatalities, but some cool finishers that take into account of each characters' powers.
- Superman is vulnerable to magic and kryptonite. Plenty of characters in the MK realm use magic. (Ed mentioned sorcerers, so maybe Quan Chi)
- Said that the majority of the characters are mainstays. I'm paraphrasing here: 'If you can name off the top characters in MK and in DC Universe, you'll have about 90% of the roster.'

I won't blow any more of it, just have to wait for Patrick to finish, which might not happen in the next two hours. He's scheduled to be in the air in an hour, returning back to Chicago. So I might just have to blow more stuff out.

P.S.: Oh one more thing, Ed did mention his favorite drink, but he was holding it during the interview, so the response might have been influenced. It was MGD. Not Midway Gamers' Day, but Miller Genuine Draft.

Tsk @ sites ignoring the embargo, if TRMK had known they were gonna do that you guys could have had the world exclusive. =P

Although I'm apprehensive about MK vs DC, I'm not going to be narrow minded and write this game off before I've had a chance to see more of it. It's a new direction a change in the series, people fear change but without it everything becomes stagnant. Kudos to Boon for taking a risk, I truly hope this game will be worth my money.

Can't wait for the interview, I'm hoping some juicy details will be revealed. ; )

Thanks for the update. I'm still... apprehensive, but I'm gonna at least try to give the MK team the benefit of the doubt until we get the rest of the info.
 
I've been following the MK series ever since I was three for this to happen?

I know we all wanted a Versus game with MK, but DC? Gay!

It's cool for Ed to stick his neck out, but with everyone (including reviewers) *****ing about the MK series' shortcomings as of late, this could be the end of MK as we know it! But alas, this took us by surprise so it's expected for people to complain. We'll have to see what happens.
 
Like i said in another thread. After seeing the interview and the trailer, i'm warming up to this idea. Boon seems excited about it too. You can tell he's always wanted to do this. I wasn't against a VS game, i just didn't want it to open up the series on the new consoles, but hey if this one scratches then the real MK will, hopefully, be even better. Plus, a lot of my friends love fighting games but are not into MK. They also love comic book characters so maybe they'll actually want to play this one.... I just really hope i can kill superman.
 
I just want to see more screens/characters. Boon said think of the top players in the MK and DC world and you have 90% of the roster so if that's the case what do ya'll think it will be?

Sub-zero= confirmed
Scorpion= confirmed
I would put baraka, shao kahn, and liu kang as definitely being in there even though i'm not fond of two of them. As for DC characters... i have no clue. Flash is popular but i don't see him fitting in these settings.
 
I just got off the phone with Patrick. It's going to take a while. In fact, he projects that the entire transcript with accompanying audio clips is going to be complete sometime tomorrow.

Question 1 is already done and in the hopper, but the rest of the 12 minute interview is still a WiP.

So, now it's up to me to give you guys something tonight. I'm going to listen to the raw audio (which we have decided not to release because it really needs to be cleaned up and produced since it was recorded outside and there were PR people interrupting with time checks) and pull out the meat of the question and answers. So stay tuned and I'll have a story up on the front page in a hour or so.

My guess would be most of the characters from the first two games, as they're the most iconic of the series. I'm hoping that'll include Kitana, but even with that being the case, they've still got a long way to go to sell me on this thing.
 
Awesome thanks Jeff. You guys are doing awesome. I'm really glad you guys did the minute by minute update. You guys deserved to get that photo up first it's too bad though.

So do you mean you aren't releasing the audio at all or your gonna fix it up first. I wouldn't mind hearing how he answered some questions :P
 
Ok screw this...I'm going to transcribe this thing up myself. We will only have audio clips for the first two questions, but I'll have the entire interview up in a couple of hours. Yeah I'll miss the magic 6pm CDT embargo lifting hour, but hey, I have a day job.

You mean something bigger is going to happen at 6? On what site? Worldscollide, noob, here? Jeff you're such a tease.... and i don't mean that sexually... unless that's cool with you. ;)
 
No. No tease. I assume Boon will update shortly after 6pm, but I just wanted to have something for people when the flood of information from embargo-abiding sites start happening.

Ok back to transcribing...this is like the one time I need one of those foot pedal audio controllers.
