Mortal Kombat's creator: 'Dramatic' changes for game
(GameTap.com) -- Since its 1992 debut in arcades, Midway's fighter Mortal Kombat has been acclaimed by players and denounced by livid parents.
The superviolent fatalities and finishing moves put it front and center at the local quickie mart as a must-play arcade game, but those same moves also fueled parent groups, which used what they deemed as a growing out-of-control level of violence in videogames to help form a formal ratings system.
In April, Midway announced the eighth version of the super successful American fighting series, Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, debuting the likes of DC superheroes Superman and Batman along side Mortal Kombat characters Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
We caught up with co-creator Ed Boon who spoke about the new inclusion of DC characters, balancing Superheroes such as Superman, the new storyline, and the new face of fatalities and finishers.
