Cliff Bleszinski responds to Kratos in Mortal Kombat 9!

Bleszinski Wants To See A Gears of War Character In Mortal Kombat

Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski is one of the most outspoken developers on Twitter. He's fun to follow, as his humor and enthusiasm for games makes him often seem more like another fan of games than a developer. Today, he had an exchange about the possibility of putting a Gears of War character -- perhaps Clay Carmine -- in the legendary Mortal Kombat fighting franchise.

Today, Bleszinski retweeted an exchange with one of his followers, who had commented "Clay Carmine for exclusive 360 character in the new MK would be an AWESOME contrast to Kratos." Bleszinski responded by saying, "I agree! Midway, where u at?" before catching himself with the followup comment, "Oh yeah, Midway dead."

After another follower suggested he take the matter up with Ed Boon's Mortal Kombat team or Warner Bros. Games, the current corporate home of the MK franchise, Bleszinski responded again, "Yeah. Must figure out a Gears char in MK!"

While this is by no means an announcement of any sort, it's pretty cool to think about the burly macho men of Gears of War invading the gonzo world of Mortal Kombat. Here's to hoping.

What do you guys think?

I think Master Chief with an energy sword would be better

It should be Dom. His fatality will be whining about his wife.

I always thought Stryker looked kind of like Marcus.

Who would choose a freakin' COG? They'll be so slow paced and clunky compared to the rest of the Mortal Kombat Cast.

Kratos makes sense because he's quick and brutal.

Marcus or the other COGs can't even Jump.

COG soldier would be wierd in Mortal Kombat (but I can totally see a Lancer Fatality coming).

chainsaw fatality would be pretty sweet but im not sure how gears of war character would work in MK

Cliff is a DOUCHE....that is all

All I read there was Cliffy having a free stab at Midway.

LOL are you serious CB. You're such a 360 fanboy it isn't even funny. Put it this way there is no better person from any 360 exclusive title then Kratos from GOW.

for an MK game? Probably not but damm Kratos has been an over-rated character since the second game.6matt6

Which is a bad thing when he's an actual character.

Let's not go to the "Gordon Freeman is a great character because he's YOU" ****storm

If you're going to bash a character and a game at least get it right. It wasn't Master Chief in DOA4. It was some random female spartain soldier that has never been in any Halo game to date as far as I know.

[QUOTE="ItsBriskBaby"][QUOTE="hiryu3"]I would say Master Chief is the most overrated character IMO but to each their ownkeech

That's giving me the urge to play mortal kombat 2. But it's on 8 floppy disks. :(

And people ask why I hate this moron. I almost feel sorry for Cliff and the way he is. It's like a disease of Douche. millerlight89

Kratos is clearly a better fit for MK

dont kid urself Bleszinski, we all know u got a hard on for GeOW but damn...

Maybe I'm missing something here but, what did Cliffy say that is pissing so many people off? It's hilarious. He was only agreeing with what SOMEONE ELSE said.

Twitterfan: Hey Cliffy, one of your characters would be great in MK9 !

Cliffy: Sure! Why not?

SW: Cliffy you douche.

WTF? lol. He wasn't responding to Kratos at all, he was responding to a response.

Cliff is looking out for EPIC. EPIC owns the GeoW IP, so that would mean a payday for EPIC, so this is just smart business.

Carmine is a poor choice though.

"Oh yeah, Midway dead." i dont think it was nice of Cliffy :(Ratchet_Fan8

Since ME is still exclusive to MS platforms, why not use Saren? I personally think that would be bad ass. millerlight89

Well, it seems you cut off the offending part...that's why :P. He called Midway dead ("Midway, where you at? Oh yeah you dead"), and that is what people don't like. I'm indifferent personally, but I can see Midway or MK fans not liking that statement.

You seemed to jump the gun or missed the part people didn't like some how.

It should be Dom. His fatality will be whining about his wife.

Yeah, I agree I wouldn't mind Ramm or someone "cooler" than a Carmine. :P

No other character can match Kratos in brutality, when of course it's unleased to its full potential, Kratos and Mortal combat makes perfect match, I dun like MC games tho.
