Franchise Crossovers

[Dave Gray]

Do you like it when two intellectual properties come together to form one story?  ...like if a show you like brings characters into another, unrelated show?  It happens in comics a lot, and it happens in video games now, too.

I saw a story today that the next Mortal Kombat is called "Mortal Kombat vs. DS Universe", with MK characters fighting Batman, Superman, etc.  Kinda weird.

So, do you like this stuff or just think it's a corny gimmick that diminishes both groups?

I enjoyed the Kingdom Hearts games.

I Think on what it is,and how it's done....If we're talking about Crossing over Star Trek,and Star Wars....Ewww...No way....

I think franchises like Alien Versus Predator...Both of those series were done with,and it's very gimmicky ( not worth my my time, unless it's 3 am on TNT and there isn't anything but Infomercials on )

I was never a fan of the fighting games like Street fighter,and Mrotal combat...So I don't like the idea of this game in Dave's example....

Well, the capcom, snk and marvel crossovers were all spectacular, but this is midway we're talking about...

Capcom and SNK (alongside sega) are the greatest fighting game developers out there. Midway is one of the worst. Let's say I'm not looking forward to this one, but in most cases, I like crossovers.

Anyway, how can sub-zero decapitate superman? ridiculous.

That is a pretty wierd crossover!  The only thing they have in common is their fading popularity.  Whats next Loony Toons versus James Bond?
