Mark Cook, Midway’s Mortal Kombat brand manager, has said that the genre is going through ”resurgence” and fighting back against the rise of adventure and FPS.
He says Super Smash Bros. Brawl ”was a fantastic game,” and points to others recently doing well. Halo and the like have ”dominated” in the spotlight in recent years.
Midway plan to capitalise on this new found love for the genre, and their first cash in on this rise is Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. ”I think there’s a resurgence in the genre, especially compared to recent years where other genres such as FPS have dominated,” said Cook.
Soul Calibur, Street Fighter, Tekken - they’re all coming back and picking up the momentum again he noted. Who wouldn’t enjoy pummelling some pixels, honestly?
