Actually, people are complaining about how long MK8 will take... Plz stop. Only 2 years since MKA, thats the exact same span it took from DA to D to A. The only difference is that now they've settled on the graphic system. VF5 took 3 years to make and Tekken 5 to 2-3. Actually, I think VF5 was 4 years in the making. So if they want to make a really good game that would revive the series with a whole bunch of new things atleast release it until Feb-Apr 09. I mean, really. We all waited for D and A to come out after 2 years after the other one and we didnt really even enjoy the games... Just go out and play SC3 or Tekken. Go pick up Guilty Gear XX Slash, a great underated game. It has the 2D game style, you'll love it. One of the most, if not the most underated GAMES out there, not just Fighting games.
