Everything looks super exaggerated.

Some more than others, but I'd rather they lean toward that than expressionless robots.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Can we get some more facial gifs up in this thread?

That doesn't sound very SFW.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Huge step up. First Injustice was something scary.

I'm loving all the positive press for Injustice 2. I'm sure it's driving a certain group crazy, which makes it even sweeter.

?

 

[Lucifon]

Ha amazing. I didn't realise how that sounded at the time!

 

[Khezu]

90% of the budget seems like it went to Harlys facial animations.

Considering her popularity, it's not super surprising.

 

[Lorcain]

The animations for Harley in this scene are nuts. She looks real.

 

[Stormhammer]

it looks like harley is saying shitbird

 

[Zok310]

So, that's where the facial animation team from ME:A went....

 

[PtM]

?

He's in a holy war with Street Fighter.

 

[Skronk]

I guess they use mocap on this?

You mean Mokap right?

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Looks good but kinda weird at the same time. Might just be the mouths being really big for everyone. MGSV had amazing stuff as well. TLOU also still holds up well.

That's disgusting.

 

[oneida]

I thought people didn't like ME:A's facial animation? Didn't really pay attention to the release honestly. Injustice 2's facial animation is terrific.

 

[Tankard]

It's seriously impressive, mainly after MKX in which the non-human characters look good, but the humans are terrible.

 

[Ahasverus]

No Kotaku, it's so good it's good. We're at a point where we ABSOLUTELY shouldn't diss efforts to up the facial game a bit. The general state of the industry in this aspect is sad. That is tech that hasn't reached the level of the rest.

 

[KingBroly]

The animations for Harley in this scene are nuts. She looks real.

You should see what they do in other scenes. They are not afraid to zoom all the way in to show facial animations. And it's all pretty damn good.

I think the poster means it looks so good, they must've stolen the team meant for Mass Effect Andromeda.

Stolen from the IJ2 main thread

 

[aBarreras]

Nah, not with those eyebrows

EDIT: Although that might just be awful acting tbf, the lips and everything look good.

why is wonder woman amy schumer?

 

[En-ou]

Injustice 2 has very, very good animation.

Um. What animation are we talking about here?

Jesus Christ, I don't know why people keep posting this image.

They both look exactly the same, NRS really needs to up their female faces game.

Some faces are better than others, but Harley is definitely at the top of the pile.

Oh god, cannot unsee...

 

[Symbiotx]

I actually noticed this from the trailers. Really impressed by the faces, especially for a fighting game.

Except ypu wouldmbarely notice these during the main part f the game, being the actual fight matches

 

[Mauddib]

Man what does it really matter if the cutscenes are directed like trash.

(End Scene SPOILERS) Just watch this clip.

Everything about it is terrible. The music dips out. The lighting looks like trash. The character costumes are so bad they're offensive. It looks like the 90s Power Rangers movie really.

 

[Nemesis_]

Why are people so quick to shit on this game? I don't think I've seen more desperation to bring a game down than with Injustice 2. Well in recent times at least.

I love the look of the characters in the story mode, the production values are through the roof. Most of that carries over to the actual gameplay too. Most of it.

Just gonna link to the endings of the game? Come on.

This seems to be a NeoGAF thing.

Whatever is getting the most threads on Gaming, SHIT ON IT!!

It's DC, they're not the cool guys.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

There's a scene where Catwoman makes this kind of sarcastic grin when an opponent talks about how easily he'll defeat her that I swear has to be a jab at that dumb blue shrek looking character from ME:A.

Dude wtf, not even spoiler warning to the ending
Game is amazing and looks amazing. Haters gonna hate.

Last year, upon the news that Pokken outsold Street Fighter V in its opening month , there were a lot of people here taking shots at the game. Even though Pokken legitimately had better matchmaking.

 

[RedAssedApe]

can someone post david schwimmer as bruce wayne. in the eurogamer review it says batman looks like ross from friends and it almost ruined the game for him lol

😂😂😂💀💀💀

I really feel like Injustice 2 does a better job at making the DC brand appealing than any of the films

 

[jett]

It's really impressive they achieved this on a fighting game no less.

On topic, that is some scary good facial animation.

 

[ajanke]

It's weird how every positive thread about this game somehow gets turned negative lol.

 

[Kinyou]

I'd love to know what kind of tech they used here

You know when you posted this in the last I2 thread you got your post removed, right?

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Looks surprisingly good to me. Wasn't interested before, but kind of am now.

what? there has been tons of praise for this game. those people are probably just playing right now or in the OT

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

good, but still very deep in the uncanny valley, obviously.

 

[Human Trashcan]

Every cutscene with Harley Quinn creeps me out because her facial expressions consistently look too real.

Her look and her voice don't match at all it's so jarring. It can't decide between photorealism and comic book aesthetics

 

[Khezu]

can someone post david schwimmer as bruce wayne. i think i read that in the eurogamer review

Unmasked Bruce kinda looks like the Prime Minister of Canada to me.

 

[disappeared]

That looks insane.

It's Ivy.
