@Henninger I would LOVE a DC and Marvel crossover. That would be EPIC beyond words.
However, I don't want Netherrealms touching a single bit of it. I don't even want Netherrealms to even THINK of considering it. The last thing I want is the DC and Marvel universes being portrayed in a shoddy Mortal Kombat graphics style that has a very toned down, monochromatic color palette, just as what's being done with Injustice -- which merely looks like a Mortal Kombat sequel with DC costumes slapped on the MK characters.
The developer I would like to work on such a huge undertaking is Rocksteady of the Arkham games or Beenox of the Spider-man games.
@vegeta2002 Yeah I don't get it with the stiff animations in Mortal Kombat games. They really do seem like action figure stop-animation type animations mixed with some mo-cap... or rather stiff mo-cap.
My assumption is that Netherrealm does not want to hire outside talent to do the animations, most likely not by anyone from Japan. But since they're connected with Warner Bros., they can at least ask them to broker talent from Rocksteady, who did a stellar job at animating the Arkham games.
My advice is to not do something outside the realm of your expertise. So Netherrealm is great at fighting games, perhaps then create a deep brawler (like Final Fight, Double Dragon style, etc.), and not a genre that's too out of scope like an RPG or a first person shooter.
So in reality ... there really is no advantage to playing as Stan Lee. The least they could have done was simplify his acrobatics so it seems more like an 89 year old man swinging and flopping around uncontrollably.
@NightKiller34 Gotta give them props for trying to have an attitude. The fact that they have to try means that they are not natural jack***es, unlike those editorials in Kotaku in which jack***ery comes naturally.
