Mortal Kombat Kreator Konfirms Next Kombat Will Be M-Rated

Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon confirmed that the upcoming Mortal Kombat 9 will return to the series' tradition of featuring over-the-top M-rated violence.

Long-running fighting series Mortal Kombat took a Teen-rated turn for the slightly-less-bloody-than-usual with last year's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, which dropped the series trademark decapitations and spine-rippings for seriously lame stuff like an arcade machine dropping from the sky [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sfJ2Xf_DrI] to kill your opponent. C'mon, what is that?

Well Mortal Kombat k/creator Ed Boon has enough of that T-rated garbage. As work progresses on Mortal Kombat 9, the next Kombat game, Boon has revealed through his Twitter [http://twitter.com/noobde] that things are getting a little bit krazy. "Motion capturing special moves & fatalities today...they are kind of sick!!" he said yesterday afternoon. "I hope we aren't taking these too far," he said hours later.

"People want an M-rated MK...dammit we will give them an M-rated MK," Boon declared. That's right, dammit. If the people want it, the people are going to get it. And hey, how about some really crazy stuff? If we're going to get xtreme here, let's go all the way, right? No? Apparently there's a limit even for Mortal Kombat. "Yea....I don't know where the line is to make MK an AO rated game," Boon said. "But we definitely don't want to kross it."

Pressed for more details about Mortal Kombat 9, which has remained shrouded in mystery pretty much up until now, Boon would only reveal the subtitle of the game: "No the fatalities we are capturing...sorry, kapturing are for the next MK9: Attack of the Nuns: Get in the Habbit!!"

This is why I love Twitter.

Seriously, though. Is MK still viable as a series? I fell off the wagon when MK3 rolled around. Anyone out there actually looking forward to this?

You just need to add MORE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS!

I'm not expecting much, but yeah, this could be fun. I think it was deception that came out that I used to play with my friends, and it was always fun to uppercut them into a trap and watch tons of blood flow out of it, and hear a scream that lasts two or three minutes.

Yes, 60 wasn't nearly enough.

Actually, 60 really wasn't nearly enough, since about 50 of them were the same ninja-type character.

How about making the game good? That might even help boost sales, Ed.

Of course. I'm always looking forward to more Mortal Kombat. Everyone should be.

I share the same sentiment. Unless they actually try to make a sufficient fighting system, rather than stuff the game with so much useless frill (gore included), I only slowly shake my head at the idea of another Mortal Kombat game.

Love the use of the Ks. Well i expect a few complaints when this game comes out, although as long as it doesnt have boobs in it you could murder children violently and no one would complain.

Conversely, I hate the use of the Ks, and think you (and OP) should be shot.

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

No, people DON'T want an M rated MK, they want an MK thay doesn't play like an AIDS infect McDonalds worker just wanked on your big mac.

Oh, it's all in good fun. Simmer down now.

The k's were klever at first, but then (of kourse) they got annoying.

Anyway, I'm actually looking forward to a new MK game. Why? A mindless bloodbath with some hot women and awesome dudes kicking people's faces in.

Shot? Well i guess, but id like to see a man who says "adieu" grow some balls and give it a try. Then again Who takes these things so seriously.

Oh, come on! That's the only thing I actually look(ed) up to the French for! Under Napoleon, they kicked some serious ass... for a while, at least.
