''What the kids learn?'' Well, they learn a lot of moves of his favorites characters (I recommended to know the moves before play it) My god! what question!
I was playing this game when I was 8 years old and I beat mortal kombat 1 when I was about 5 or 6. I have no criminal record, I'm a family person, I'm in college and doing well.
That news anchor simply tried to get them to admit it's violent by saying, "What are kids learning from this?" Apparently, he did not know about the ESRB which informs gamers about the content as Ed Boon stated. It is the parents' responsibility, not the game developers to see who's playing.
The news guy is a weasel. He tried to make it sound like kids were getting violent, but in reality, he just wanted parents to side with him so they'd give a good word to his boss and he could get promoted.
I would have most likely answered if I were in their position: If kids or whoever plays violent games like mortal kombat isn't smart enough as to know it is fiction and only a videogame and that your life keeps going after you're done playing you better stay away from any kind of framed construction that displays images(monitors)
Only butt hurt mk fans who wanted more violence, hate this game. You should have realised it wasn't gonna be a pure MK game with the inclusion of Batman and Superman. Hell DC's rawest and bloodiest material is like the first 30 seconds of any mk fight
that news reporter has no idea who their talking to... their talking to Noob Saibot, well it is actually true, i mean say Noob Saibot backwards and you know what i mean
no learning value? hand eye coordination, overcoming obstacles and reaching goals, and fucking memory skills...you need to have good memory to pull off all the fatalities haha
Boon said there's a point where he'd draw a line in video game violence; obviously having two guys split a human being in half crotch up, while the victim is still alive, like a Thanksgiving wishbone is not that line yet.
lol i like how ed boon says that there will be a line to how violent it gets when the new one just came out and its arguably the most graphic and gruesome MK of them all
@91aztecking He did say they will draw a line, but he never said what that line was or that they crossed it yet. He was also not under oath here. And even if he was, people often do what they said they wouldn't do after it's been 10-20 years since that promise. Times change.
@infinity34 oh yeah totally ... trust me i love all the mortal kombat games (even the failures mythologies and special forces) i especially love the new one ! :D
THEY'RE TREATING ED BOON LIKE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A FUCKING BABYSITTER!! IT'S THE PARENTS JOB!!!!! TO KEEP THEIR KIDS AWAY FROM VIOLENCE OR ANYTHING THEY DON'T WANT THEIR KID EXPOSED TOO NOT THESE POOR DUDES! UGH TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF HOW PARENTS EXPECT THE MAINSTREAM TO RAISE THEIR KIDS UGH DISGUSTING!!!
@Echo7521 Lol alright bro. It justs makes me mad because MK fans like me, have known this most of their mk lives, and almost every video someone posts it. Just bugs me, that's all. lol
Ed Boon... YOURE A LIAR HAHAHAHAHAH!!! Take a look at the new mortal kombat hahah. But thats what mortal kombat should be. over the top violence and action. I swear if i could, id take mk (new one) go back in time, interupt the interview and say hey pal, play this. The old man probably woulda fallen over and died. haahahahah
@yoe91 dude can I give you 20 thumbs up? seriously you are so right, some people just think that humans are dumb enough to not be able to tell apart what's real and what's fabricated, I can look at heads being blown off, guts spilled, and decapitations in a GAME because I know that nobody is getting hurt, but me and everyone else who got used to seeing this are smart and sane enough to know when to cringe or feel concern when it's a real live human getting killed, old people basically suck
@4everSolidSnake Yeah man. Basically, the point is "do you feel the same way about blood on the screen as you do in real life ?"
No joke, I JUST came back from a blood test, they filled up 7 tubes off my veins, felt like I was going to die. But MK fatalities leave me indifferent, as it does all kids. No controversy here.
@yoe91 completely agree, I find it annoying how older people find shows/movies like The Sopranos, Scarface, The godfather, etc. to be masterpieces (which they are) but disregard that there is violence and malevolence in those movies/shows,seems hypocritical to me, some games (just like movies) have a good story with the gore, others have mindless, but fun (as it's intended to be) killing which just serves as entertainment, besides...older people hate not being in the loop of video games imo
@4everSolidSnake As a matter of fact, the so called masterpieces about Italian American gangsters and mafia are real, based on a reality.
I'd say it's more shocking to watch a guy wake up with his own horse's head on his blood-soaked bed (knowing mafia people actually deal that way) than seeing something more brutal but 1) fictional and 2) in 3D graphics.
Maybe in 20yrs, the PS-17 will be out and display graphics as real as a film. Then, that might be problematic...still fiction though....
@yoe91 good point on the visuals, I can easily feel indifferent to an exaggerated character like a big gears of war guy, or an ice ninja in mortal kombat getting chopped in half, I suppose when every game looks like L.A. noire or Heavy Rain with brutal violence is when i'll cringe a little, but like you said, still fiction, look at the Saw movies or any other horror movie, still fiction, maybe in our eyes, but people will always complain...people should just have a little more trust in us!
Hey, imagine if Seta Corporation's "Super Real Mahjong" strip mahjong series was released outside of Japan. Players would be influenced by the game to make underage girls strip down to their panties -- topless -- and screw them endlessly. Wanna know why? Because the majority of the computer opponents are underage girls as young as 15.
I think we owe it to the government that they've banned strip mahjong games featuring girls under the age of 18.
It still aggrivates me to this day that the controversy about Mortal Kombat's blood and fatallites steemed from a misunderstanding caused by parents, teachers and others who never played the game
The Parent Groups and Reproters from the 90s would have rioted in the streets at the sight of games like Grand Theft Auto, the Call of Duty Series, MK9, God of War, Gears of War, Bioshock (the moral choice system) Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead
I hope critics now a days realize that kids know the difference between seeing someone get killed in a game or movie and seeing someone actually get killed right in front of them.
"of course we're gonna draw the line" well that was a lie, good for you Ed. I never want him to draw the line. As soon as you do that, the critics win.
"You're very young guys." O_o Was that news anchor hitting on them? LOL Anyway, Boon looked like he wanted to smack that guy in the face...LOL. Sure they'll draw the line...when they stop making video games... LOL. 2011 and not we're getting a game that would probably put people in the late 90s into like cardiac arrest. No need for digitized "real" graphics...=P Ed Boon FTW!!!
haha what the fuk over exposed to violence now? try being like 100 years ago having your fukin town raided by an enemy an they rape you family n shit lol like wtf
im a huge mk fan dont give a fuck about wat they say i'll play when ever i want to so all you adults who thinks mortal kombat is to frekin bad go play manhunt 2 that will change your little sensitive minds....jklasdfjklfjhas XD
Actually, they draw the line... Boon says in the interwievs of the new MK, that all the fatalities are tested and revised, in the phase of "design"... he says: "We know when the fatality is going to far"... Tanks to the Elder Gods (XD), the line is higher than rip te arms, and use them as weapons for decapitating your oponent... O man... Thats MK.
@chipmunx Aparentely... yes. XD... but thinking about it... and that in mk armaggedon are moves like the fatal one of backstab the oponent from the ass... XD... i do not know... How much is too much for them... jajajajajajajajajaa. I want to know what was kick out of the skectches period. XD
If i was Ed Boon i would of never granted an interview with any news media scumbag. First of all, they dont really care for the person they are interviewing, they just care about their stupid ratings. Telepromter-reading whores have no valid opinion on the video game industry.
Ed Boon felt a bit "cornered" when this guy asked him "will you draw the line due to the violence" in the next MK4 game? Boon answered, "yes" with an unsure nod to come after. Well, look at how far MK has gone with the violence since then! It's the year 2011 and MK will be ripping off heads, torsols, arms and many other body pieces! NO ONE CAN STOP THIS! Hell yeaaaaahhh! MK 4ever baby!
would you take your seix year old to see halloween or friday the 13th or my bloody valentine? NO!! so why the hell would you buy them mortal kombat! its the parents responsibility to say NO
MK provides me a virtual world to be violent in instead of reality dipshit. And who the fuck are you to criticize these guys over violence?! You're the fear mongering fuck that lives by the motto "if it bleed it leads". Go die a slow death of a thousand cuts at the edge of Scorpion's undead spear... Bitch.

Damn I dont know why is it people attack video games but dont say shit if it was a movie, or TV show. If u dont want ya kid playin it dont buy it and STFU!
@THANUMBA1NIGGA Word my nig. I be on MK vs DC and i hear a bunch of little kids voices on the heatset. Kids trick their parents on buying M rated games for them, then the parents bitch about it. "I see niggas getting their head decapitated, but ill buy little jimmy whatever he wants" Fuck outta here.
If I were Ed Boon, I would have answered the first question like this: "OK, asshole, first of all, the game is NOT supposed to be played by kids, and second, they learn the same you do when you get wasted and go out with whores, NOTHING. This game is for entertainment. Stop talking to us like we are criminals. End of interview."
He was like: (All right, i'm tired of this guy being overly dramatic about violence and gore, so screw it, let's get out of here) "Yeah we'll draw the line" (In your dreams, D*CK) And then when they left: "GOD, THAT GUY WAS STUPID"
heh Bullshit, fuckin dudes ripping legs off and beating the shit out of em. Mk4 was like a "FUCK YOU" letter to that faggot Bob.
I played MK when i was 3 and i never got a criminal record for ripping heads off, hard to believe these dumbfucks had the balls to bitch about violent videogames when people are constantly fed stories of murder through antenna channels that no one pays for.
Because everyone is going to try to turn into a dragon and eat a dudes head off, because that violence is completely possible, STFU news guy and get the hell off these guys backs
that reporter can suck on my fucking harry dick kids should play violent games the lesson is that if someone picks on you / you say get the fuck over here and kill them
Children shouldn't be playing M rated games so what the hell?? these news casters want to ruin our fun by bitching about this shit knowing that there are major issues out here, children should just stay off of video games period! why do you think i never let my little brother play my M rated games
that news caster is a dick. If i was ed boon i would be like" a, well in mortal kombat, there is no drawing a line, it's called put more violence in mk4 and future mk games."

Violence itself isn't to blame.
e.g.: Someone yelling at someone is "violent" to some extent.
Then there's a few levels above: i.e. ripping the torso off, head off, burning body...etc.
But MK doesn't desensitize; we still find it horrible in real life to see a dead body.
And it never goes beyond the "limit". That limit is pretty well defined after all: no incest/rape/pedophilia/actual torture etc...

If i was Ed Boon i would of never granted an interview with any news media scumbag. First of all, they dont really care for the person they are interviewing, they just care about their stupid ratings. Telepromter-reading whores have no valid opinion on the video game industry.

Ed Boon felt a bit "cornered" when this guy asked him "will you draw the line due to the violence" in the next MK4 game? Boon answered, "yes" with an unsure nod to come after. Well, look at how far MK has gone with the violence since then! It's the year 2011 and MK will be ripping off heads, torsols, arms and many other body pieces! NO ONE CAN STOP THIS! Hell yeaaaaahhh! MK 4ever baby!

MK provides me a virtual world to be violent in instead of reality dipshit. And who the fuck are you to criticize these guys over violence?! You're the fear mongering fuck that lives by the motto "if it bleed it leads". Go die a slow death of a thousand cuts at the edge of Scorpion's undead spear... Bitch.

"I see niggas getting their head decapitated, but ill buy little jimmy whatever he wants" Fuck outta here.

If I were Ed Boon, I would have answered the first question like this: "OK, asshole, first of all, the game is NOT supposed to be played by kids, and second, they learn the same you do when you get wasted and go out with whores, NOTHING. This game is for entertainment. Stop talking to us like we are criminals. End of interview."

I've been playing the MK games since 1992 (I was 8 at the time btw) and all I've ever gotten was two speeding tickets (clean since 2005).
Hey Idiot Parents, the reason why your children become criminals or losers is because you sucked at raising them, not video game violence.

I played MK when i was 3 and i never got a criminal record for ripping heads off, hard to believe these dumbfucks had the balls to bitch about violent videogames when people are constantly fed stories of murder through antenna channels that no one pays for.
