Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

Wow almost 4 months since they have shown anything.

I know they were focused on MKX during NYCC, but it wasn't even there playable.
Wonder what that was about.

Even if it had steady reveals, and as a big Injustice 1 fan, can't say I would be that hype for it either way.

After MKX I was expecting something better.
 
Maybe they just showed it too early and at TGA/PSX we'll get a full game re-reveal where they've upped it from the original incremental improvements to a MK9 to MKX level jump and redid the returning characters stuff.

Or you know, not.

At the very best all I can see is them maybe touching up the facial capture tech.
To get away from uncanny valley.

Maybe some of the weird universal animations from Injustice 1 being replaced.

That's about it though.

Maybe Ed is just going insane?

No idea who that could be, a friend told me it could be The Hamburglar? But yea, we're definitely getting a new trailer today. No doubt about it.

The creator of the Big Mac died yesterday. I don't think that Tweet means anything.

Ah shit. :( The injustice news drought has me speculating over hamburgers now. How embarrassing lol.

EDIT: I was going to say this could infer something like "big cheese" as in like "the boss". You know, Darkseid. But it's a fucking hamburger.

Ah i didn't know that someone died :/

To be fair it seems like a weird Ed Boon tease, plus he didn't even put in Text so without Context it seemed even more like he was teasing something.

Yeah, that's what got my curiosity. Usually when he pays tribute to someone he at least throws some text on there. Thank you for making me feel better lol.

Sooo... PSX then? :(

That's what I'm hoping for. So much for the VGAs. :( When they do a new reveal I hope we get a substantial info drop. Characters and more on story, modes and customization. I would hope after this long they give us something good.

How do we get SpaceWolf a Job at NetherRealm? We could meet in front of their Office and hold up signs or if someone here knows how, invade Eds dream and plant the idea to hire him, Inception style.

My favorites are Beast Boys clashes with Deadshot btw, made me laugh. Somewhat simple yet very effective. Once again, good Job dude.

Thing is, i dunno if they want to give time to both Comic Fighting Games and Marvel is obviously more important. Oh well, we will see tomorrow.
 
That was incredibly good SpaceWolf. I'm telling you, you have a legitimate talent for this stuff.

It all really felt like something those characters would say and kinda fit the tone of the game and the characters.

The lack of an NYCC reveal is still really weird. It's the second biggest comics event of the year.

I don't know maybe they don't want to show anything too early again after the reaction to WW and BB.

Or maybe they had a change of heart and wanted to significantly alter things.

I don't know, but even for NRS who is usually terrible at marketing and hype, this is kinda unusual.

Isn't the game set for Q1 2017 release? I don't see them releasing in that time frame with how terrible the marketing and hype has been. Missing NYCC, The VGAs, and if they miss PSX is going to give the impression to the fans that something is off. I'm really looking forward to it so even the smallest bit of news would be wonderful:(

Doesn't have a actual release date yet.

But most assume Q2 which is April

Last game by this time we had a release date and proper box art.

WB is on the list of publishers attending PSX so I think it's safe to say that there will be some sort of Injustice 2 presence there.

Not only did we have a release date and box art but we had the pre-order bonus for MKX in this time frame. This has been really slow even for NRS.

Those intro dialogue mockups were great, SpaceWolf. But when did Kate Kane become Bruce's cousin? I don't remember that being the case.

Reptile in I2?

Honestly, i'd take Reptile over Sub-Zero as the MK Guest Character.

Going by the polls, I expect more than one MK guest character. Considering how well Scorpion sold, financially it's a smart move. If MKX is an indication, I think we might get four guest characters. Maybe more.
