  • I'm sorry um.....This is just odd pairing....

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

yeah right....you know what happens....batman takes ten minutes to figure things out and wins.....oh also it seems to be T rated.......soooo confusing....could be awesome....probably will be terrrible....but they did bring in good writers frm DC to work on the "storyline" so I'm even more weirded out....

Worse things have happened to DC's characters (see: the '60s), and Mortal Kombat has been a joke longer than it was relevant, so, really, where's the harm?

Oh, like Marvel vs Capcom isn't a weird pairing? In fact, I think Midway is just running out of ideas and stealing theirs.

My thoughts exactly. Midway ain't nearly the developer of fighting games that Capcom is, so I don't have much faith in this

ugh....they hired one of my favorite writing teams to help out with everything....for some reason I just keep wanting to get excited....but can't because of the whole....Ed Boon thing. then again I always wanted a DC fighting game and this is bound t be better than yer old super nintendo classic shitpile......

Midway has not had a decent game in YEARS, unless you count Unreal Tournament, and even then UT isn't the type of game you pre-order or run out of your house to get on release.
Shadow Hearts: Covenant was their best game in recent memory.

LOTRO is Turbine; Midway is just the publisher as far as I know.

Does Midway actually "make" games?

They did for sure. They were, if I'm not mistaken, the biggest arcade gaming company back in the 80s, they have a HUGE back library and they were done in-house.

I do remember hearing something about either them or Acclaim being solely publishers now, though. Can't remember exactly, though, so don't quote me.
