Dear Epic,

I tend to think we, the gaming populace, have been fairly civil today. Sure, there've been a few incensed comments about your Wii-bashing (and subsequent coining of the term "wiggling" in relation to the Wii -- thanks for that), and your lack of a Gears of War 2 demo, but for the most part, we've taken things in stride, shoulders slack and face contorted into a picture of nonchalance. But guys, you've crossed the line this time. Through a series of decisions concerning the Unreal Engine 3's non-presence on the Wii, you unintentionally and indirectly diffused any hopes we had for a Wii version of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. What's next, huh? You gonna kick sand in our faces? Punch a few toddlers? steal someone's Unreal Tournament 3 map (citation needed)?

Look, cynicism aside, Epic, you've done us wrong. A gore-less, non-spine-rending Mortal Kombat, replete with a smattering of freshly-inked comic book heroes seems like a perfect match for the Wii -- a console that, let's face it, skews younger than its next-gen competition. Plus, Midway (MK vs. DC's developer) is all for creating a Wii version of the game; they just need your toolset. Hope still breathes, though its grasp on life is tenuous at best. All we request is that you port the Unreal Engine 3 to the Wii. If you grant us this simple request, Midway will send MK vs. DC charging through the Wii's formerly un-breachable walls, and we will return your cat happily wrap our hands around the fruits of their labor.

Your friends,
The gaming populace.

linkage
personally i think this game will fail but he is right that epic is a bunch of ********

Looked retarded anyway...

Every Mortal Kombat game since Ultimate 3 has been ****ing terrible.

Dodged a bullet there.

yeahhh NO

everyone might as well sell their wiis right now since it wont be getting this (you can still get above the retail price for a wii on ebay!!!!!)


but yeah what more do you expect from a thread like this. if the wii owners cant have it they simply say things like: "it looked stupid anyways" "good, we dont need that" "its gonna suck anyways"

typical nintendo fanny responses...

^True, but really, the Wii dosen't need the game anyways so what's the point of this thread? (no offense vashivihan.) I'm pretty sure none of us here said, "Oh, I hope this game is on Wii!" The Wii has enough. We don't need a horrible MK game. Screw it I say.

Epic is an epic fail.

^Lol. Really. There's so many other things they could work on right now, but I guess they're stuck on the idea of Batman vs Scorpion.

Yeah, they need to just continue to work on Gears of War2 and leave this Wii stuff to the bloggers.

wtf.
its not epic's fault.
its the WII's fault.

this in no way concerns epic, they created the unreal engine to what it is. MK dev could use the unreal engine I if they want it on the wii, so its their problem.

wii isnt capable of running the unreal engine III..

I'm just saying there is no reason for them to say anything. They are a good company. Everyone knows that the Wii isn't as advanced as the other next gen systems.

No, but seriously, every 3d Mortal Kombat game has been ****ing abysmal.

I have Mortal Kombat for SNES. I don't need this game anyway.

I agree Mortal Kombat started going downhill after number 2
Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate were pretty good but the newer versions have been shite! just watch armageddon on youtube the fighting system looks like a pile of ass the characters look dodgy the graphics look shit i couldn't care less for Mortal Kombat anymore

To join forces with midway is to fail. Seriously UT3 does not do smooth animation for some reason? Then on top of this midway is making it even though they where never ab;e to fix mortal kombat. I mean really Epic better start making different types of games so their engine can be seen in a better light. It looks good but no one like playing these games. They better make a UT3 engine for the Wiiware service before it's too late!

Things are getting ugly and I think the comic book guys wanted this more. Is it me or does the HD systems really show where these developers really are vulnerable? I'm not excited about any thing coming to the HD stuff at the moment. The tools are fun yet no one is making any thing cool and fun. I mean It's like buying $40 spawn toys just to look at. You know thats all there good for because the story sucks... and how the hell does DC and MKobat work? Seriously does bat man have juggles now? Will that be in the movie? Also 3d fighter suck expect for rival schools and smash! I havn't played the new 3d sam showdown.

With the attitude I read, it just gave me reason not to support this company.

If all they want is a niche market within videogaming [certain consoles, certain folks, who like certain games] .... I guess they're fine with that. But if they think that the whole market is [in the future/now] going to be the same old group playing the same old FPS forever ... I think they've got another thing coming. IMO, gaming is expanding to many types of folks - and like has happened in video/tv/etc, folks who ignore the larger emerging market don't become larger companies with greater marketshare.

But to act superior ... fine, you can ignore this market and disenfranchise a portion of the gaming demographic.

I'm sure their investors love the poor attitude and telling a good % of the market to screw off.
