Support NeoGAF

[Zafir]

They're actually going to target the PC again after the shit treatment mkx PC owners got...

I'd like to think they'd try making amends, but like that'll happen. :|

 

[Neonep]

I liked the story in the original. I probably won't buy it though. I got the 1st one on PS Plus and I still think Mortal Kombat isn't a good fighting game. Still feel stiff.

 

[ZeroCDR]

I'll only consider it if they make things right for MKX on PC, otherwise I have no faith in them supporting it.

 

[ZarKryn7]

You know what to do Netherrealm.

I don't know if Static was in those comics. But I really want him in! Phil lmarr

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Give some love to Nintendo!

I don't know if Static was in those comics. But I really want him in!

I think he's in the mobile version of the game.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I didn't mind the first game. Nice Plus title.

The fighting is a tad slow and clunky once you've become accustomed to Killer Instinct, but it still has enough in it to keep it interesting and has a shitload of modes. I like the multiple level thing from UMK3. It takes it to a whole new level in Injustice.

I'm hoping they don't just port over the MKX fighting mechanics.

 

[fernoca]

NRS Games oddly don't appeal to the Fighting Tournament scene though but Boon and Co. appear at EVO.

And poor KI.

Keep in mind that the numbers vary by tournament:

MK has never been big in the FGC, but the numbers has gone up and then stay at around the usual 100+.

KI was quite close to even Smash on this one.

Between this, WB Montreal Superman game, Return to Arkham, and possibly Shadow or Mordor 2, WB should have a solid E3.

I really want the Suicide Squad game they teased in Arkham Origins.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

please, please be true. I loved Injustice so much

 

[delSai]

I really want the Suicide Squad game they teased in Arkham Origins.

I'm just waiting for it to be revealed, Montreal had to be working on it for a while now.
Telltales Batman might also be at E3.

 

[Nasbin]

I expect that they learned A LOT from making the first Injustice. MKX is a massive, massive improvement on MK9, hopefully Injustice 2 represents a similar leap.

 

[Masterspeed]

I don't know if Static was in those comics. But I really want him in! Phil lmarr

To be fair, Harley Quinn was introduced in the Batman Animated series and due to the huge love from the fans, they included her in the comics and she's where she is now.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

Yeah this is the only reason I'm interested in this.

 

[Danneee]

Damn, I loathe the first one. Rise of the Robots levels of bad imo.
Stiff and slow gameplay, boring, ugly, uninteresting characters (in a fighting game).

Did the first one even sell enough (actual sales and not number of PS+ downloads) to even justify a sequel?

 

[Sinatar]

770k on PC, quite probably a hell of a lot more then that on consoles.

It was the number one game in the NPDs for the first two months it was on the market, and was top ten in the third; and that's before the Ultimate Edition rerelease, which seemed to do pretty well for itself, even aside form the Plus money.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

The question is, will Wonder Woman look more like Micky Rourke or Donald Trump this time around?

 

[Compbros]

Injustice sold over 3 million and that's not counting dlc sales.

 

[LaNaranja]

I really want another MK v DC. When is that coming?

Also Warner games are always so rotten with DLC that I will probably just wait until 2018 for the complete edition to be released.

 

[WraithWalker1893]

They'd better give us Constantine, Supergirl, Red Hood, Dr Manhattan, Killer Croc, Queen Mera, Black Canary, Mr Freeze. Would be such a sweet roster.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Well, since the first one had an Arrow costume with Stephen Amell recording a costume specific voice over, maybe the new one will have a Flash costume with Grant Gustin recording a costume specific voice over. Same with Supergirl and Melissa Benoist.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Give me Red Hood, Neverrealm. You know we need it.

WB might have a pretty killer E3. Looking forward to it. Hope we get word of that Suicide Squad game that's been teased for a while.

 

[Hasney]

Lol PC. Jesus, if High Voltage are working on it, I won't buy it on any format. Even then, won't get it until PC gets all the content of the other versions because fuck WB at this point.

 

[WraithWalker1893]

Give me Red Hood, Neverrealm. You know we need it.

WB might have a pretty killer E3. Looking forward to it. Hope we get word of that Suicide Squad game that's been teased for a while.

Ohh we'll get that Squad game. Been far too long since 2012. Some shit obviously went down with it. Probably got re-worked to tie into the Arkhamverse or the DCEU. DCEU seems more likely.

 

[MAtgS]

I just want tag team back with co-op story mode. DCU is a perfect fit for it.

 

[delSai]

Oh man a 2v2 in Injustice would be great.

 

[DrArchon]

Wish I could get hyped for this, but I've only got a PC and there's no way I'm trusting WB with a decent PC version of this game (or any of their fighting games).

Seriously, fuck WB for how they treat PC fans of NRS games. Injustice was shit, MK was shit, and then MK somehow got MORE shit. Fuck 'em.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Is this guy just some random member like the rest of us on here?

 

[Altairre]

I'd buy the shit out of that. Had a blast with the first one. Hopefully they won't fuck up the PC version again though I do have a PS4 for that case.

 

[Schweinehund]

Would love to see the roster. Hope they didn't cut Black Adam or Shazam for Batfam characters :/.

 

[Pandora012]

I hope they fix some of the characters. Wonder Woman and Raven come to mind.

 

[ArjanN]

I really want the Suicide Squad game they teased in Arkham Origins.

Yeah, I really hope they didn't ditch that for Superman, Suicide Squad seems like a far better fit for a game.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Would this be NRS' first UE4 game? I remember something about how WB's UE3 license had to run until MKX came out.

I like Injustice, but I hope they continue with MKX DLC as well.

 

[fernoca]

Well, since the first one had an Arrow costume with Stephen Amell recording a costume specific voice over, maybe the new one will have a Flash costume with Grant Gustin recording a costume specific voice over. Same with Supergirl and Melissa Benoist.

Next year will also have the Wonder Woman and Justice League movies. So also expect looks and voiceovers tied to the respective releases as DLC, like Ezra Miller's Flash.

 

[est1992]

Yeah, I really hope they didn't ditch that for Superman, Suicide Squad seems like a far better fit for a game.

Based off one of the leaks they indeed did stop production on Suicide Squad for Superman. I for one am happy about that but I can see why some wouldn't, SS is a great IP for games.

 

[Spinky]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Certinty]

Only fighting game i'll buy day 1. Loved the first.

 

[Alchemist]

Still being made on that clunky MK engine? I'll pass.

 

[SoulUnison]

Maybe this time they can make a Wonder Woman who doesn't look like some kind of patchwork Frankenstein.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Yeah, I really hope they didn't ditch that for Superman, Suicide Squad seems like a far better fit for a game.

Is there a supes game coming?

 

[Mesoian]

They're actually going to target the PC again after the shit treatment mkx PC owners got...

DON'T
YOU
BELIEVE
IT

 

[.la1n]

If they are targeting 2017 then I hope we get at least one more Kombat pack for MK in the mean time. Noob must return.

 

[Ryce]

Assuming there are around 24 characters on the disc (12 heroes, 12 villains) like NRS' last few games, there isn’t much room for change from the previous installment.

Using the heroes as an example, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Green Arrow are practically guaranteed, and I can’t see them cutting Shazam or Nightwing. That leaves only two (or three) spots for Raven, Hawkgirl/Hawkman, Batgirl, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, Supergirl, Black Canary, Static, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Firestorm, Swamp Thing, Rorschach, and a bunch of other popular characters.

I’m curious to see what NRS does.

 

[jdstorm]

Now if we could just get Dick Greyson bought back to life

 

[ArjanN]

Is there a supes game coming?

That was a rumor going around yeah. Not sure how credible it is.

 

[fernoca]

If should be improved over MKX which was improved for Injustice and MK2011.


**********


I kinda see them using the style variations from MKX.

Like a "Tech Batman" around his gadgets, "Brawler Batman" around closer combat and "Shadow Batman" around counters.


EDIT:
Probably a lack of cameos too. XD
The team got a ton of bad feedback from people asauming that cameo characters in MKX should be in the game just because. In some cases for free, since their logic was that Rain and Tanya are in the game already, so why charge for Tanya...

They did that just as cameos, but said that would condider not adding any cameos in future games.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

I stand by my Crime Syndicate/Forever Evil game idea

Let me be Owlman

There are far too many DC characters and only so many slots. Not everyone is going to be happy.

I think they might swap Nightwing out for Robin, as painful as that sounds. I also have a feeling that at least part of the roster will be made up of more obscure characters and/or characters appearing in upcoming movies.

 

[TreIII]

Last time, I really wanted Atrocitus (and Dex-Starr) to show up, but the most he got was a background spot. I wonder if his fortunes would fair any better in the sequel.

Or hell, if any more expanded Lantern-side personalities will show up, for that matter.
