Support NeoGAF

[Tensketch]

I want this but I know I'm going to have to buy it for PS4 instead of PC and that just angers me.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Game needs some Shazam. Was Shazam in the first one?

 

[Salty Rice]

Gorilla Grodd and Atrocitus! The 2 i wanted the most. YES!

 

[Zelias]

Not sure how I feel about the gear system. Could be ok if done well... more likely to turn out kinda terrible, though.

But still, hyped for more Injustice!

Game needs some Shazam. Was Shazam in the first one?

Yes.

 

[Setsuna]

The dark gritty style seems to be standard between this game and the DC cinematic universe. I am not a huge fan of it.

You have Marvel vs capcom 3 for your colorful mess

 

[Hot Coldman]

I hear there's a new comeback mechanic where you say "Martha" to abruptly end a match in a draw.

 

[Alienous]

Where, not why

...

oh.

Failed.

Yep.

 

[Nabs]

No PC version it seems.

lol. I'm sure something will happen down the line, but this is still funny. Instead of trying to do better, they just pull support entirely.

 

[IconGrist]

Game needs some Shazam. Was Shazam in the first one?

Yes.

 

[ZeroX03]

Loot drops? I swear to god if there are microtransactions I won't be buying this.

Bad news: there's a 100% chance there will be microtransactions or some kind of bs monetization.

Good news: there's a 100% chance there will be an all DLC included/everything unlocked version later on like every other WB game.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Injustice 2: Superman is Pissed... Uhhhh... Again.

fixed?

 

[Tizoc]

No PC ver. ain't a biggy.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

FUCK YEAH.

NOW GIVE ME ZOOM and REVERSE FLASH

DC TV villain DLC pack - Zoom, Reverse Flash, Deathstroke.

Please?

Or screw the DLC part and just have them in the base game.

 

[Ashtar]

GORILLA GRODD CONFIRMED

who's an atroticus?
Eh not feeling to good about gear and loot, but I'll probably rent it to play through the campaign

 

[deim0s]

Players can play from the biggest DC roster ever offered in a fighting game, from classic fan favorites such as Batman, Superman, Supergirl and Aquaman, to astonishing new villains like Atrocitus and Gorilla Grodd.

Bleez plz.

 

[Valahart]

Boring, eh?

Why is it still allowed to make a game reveal with a pure CG trailer?

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

I dont care at all for fighting games but what is the reason there's no PC version? If I was a pc gamer and I loved fighting games I would be pissed off. What good reason is there to just skip pc? Still Warez or just no profit?

Because they've outsourced all their fighting game PC ports to High Voltage and all 3 were absolute horse shit. HVS couldn't even complete the last gen ports of MKX and were eventually fired completely by WB.

I guess rather than find a replacement porting house... they've given up on NRS fighters on PC. I'll stand by that though... rather not play the game at all than have a terrible version of it on the platform that should have the best version.

 

[Illucio]

The gear thing is interesting. But I thought they were using that to even the playing field against superman....

I'm disappointed everyone has it now. :/

 

[Askherserenity]

It's so dark, it's literally in a sewer and you can't see shit.

This is like a parody of itself now. Everyone gets an armored redesign.

It's a comic. Almost every comic character has an armored design.

 

[Allforce]

The Gear System uses RPG-like mechanics to reward you with loot drops every time you play the game. With each loot drop, you will earn character-specific gear to outfit and power up your roster – changing not only the look of each character, but your fight strategy and your personal approach to every match. As you gear up your characters, you’re building a roster of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains that reflects your choices, and your preferences, which can be vastly different than your opponents. A few play sessions in, you can expect your Aquaman to look and play different than anyone else’s Aquaman you may come across.

This reads less of "Play a lot and get the suit tha tlets you do unlimited X-Factor/Critical Art/X-Ray/etc" and more like a way to have multiple styles for each character like MKX. Only now you're unlocking it. So "Dawn of Justice Batman" or "New 52 Aquaman".

The first game had those skins but no gameplay changes. With MKX and all their different stances and styles for each character I think they're just going to try to implement that here with a progression system, which is ok.

I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a persistent online "faction war" thing just like MKX where you can play solo or even have a team of shadow players out there battling based on your play style ala Killer Instinct.

 

[Hero]

So everyone is Iron Man?

 

[Deathstroke]

Looking forward to seeing some in-game footage.

 

[The Elite]

It's a comic. Almost every comic character has an armored design.

Yup, and I have always found them to be shit.

I tend to hate armor variants on non-armored super heroes.

 

[wamberz1]

Leader of the red lanterns of rage.
I hope Dex - Starr is an assist in some form

 

[ZeroX03]

who's an atroticus?

Red Lantern powered by rage.

The new additions are fucking great choices so far.

 

[jediyoshi]

Why DC characters always gotta fight each other tho

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Boring, eh?

Why is it still allowed to make a game reveal with a pure CG trailer?

More exciting then Gameplay only for me. Wait until the weekend to get your Gameplay.

 

[Tizoc]

Give me OMAC or gtfo.

Aw snaps, Supergirl.

 

[Nuszka]

Seems silly to premiere a fighting game with cg trailer that has not much to do with the final form of the product. NR is known for their robotic animation so my expectations are low. This gear system smells like a bait of some sort.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

So Supergirl is in this time.

 

[Already Torn]

On one hand, dumb looking smart-phonesque gear and microtransactions.

On the other hand, Gorilla Grodd. Hmmmm

 

[Cheat Code]

Loot drops/microtransactions that explicitly mess with gameplay, and also look stupid?

Fuck off WB.

 

[wamberz1]

hell yes

Short hair kara = best kara

 

[Tabby]

I feel like the gear thing will just be something like MKX's form switch or something along those lines, just changes skills and not actually upgrading your stats.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

So WB/MKStudio sucks at PC gaming so much that they rather not release it at all on PC.

 

[Garlador]

We all Iron Man now.

You know, I'm fine with it. It'll probably be unbalanced, but at this point I don't even care. I'm thinking of it like Smash Bros with the sticker system. Should be fun.

Now watch as Zack Snyder gets confused again and thinks Injustice 2 is the main DC universe. Again.

 

[Krammy]

Every battle defines you in a game where players personalize iconic DC characters with unique and powerful gear earned throughout the game. For the first time gamers can take control of how their characters look, fight and develop across a variety of game modes.

This sounds like trouble just waiting to happen. After Injustice forcing you to unlock costumes by playing their mobile game, and Mortal Kombat X having those atrocious microtransactions, I fully expect this to be more of the same.

Coupled with the CGI trailer instead of gameplay, this is one hell of a disappointing announcement.

 

[friskykillface]

free the freakazoid

 

[SSReborn]

Yup, and I have always found them to be shit.

I tend to hate armor variants on non-armored super heroes.

Maybe you can go armor less? I mean technically its your choice what gear you bring into the fights.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Who's the voiceover supposed to be? Definitely sounds like Cranston.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Man I don't care about any of these scrubs. Blue Beetle when?

Boring, eh?

Why is it still allowed to make a game reveal with a pure CG trailer?

Because it's 2D fighting game? You know how it plays. I know how it plays. Everybody knows how it plays. The specifics we can figure out later.

 

[shinkai]

Red Hood confirmed.

Red Hood where? Unless your talking about when Batman goes full armored in the trailer.

 

[Coffee Dog]

This reads less of "Play a lot and get the suit tha tlets you do unlimited X-Factor/Critical Art/X-Ray/etc" and more like a way to have multiple styles for each character like MKX. Only now you're unlocking it. So "Dawn of Justice Batman" or "New 52 Aquaman".

I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a persistent online "faction war" thing just like MKX where you can play solo or even have a team of shadow players out there battling based on your play style ala Killer Instinct.

It reads like "Boot up the game every day to open your daily Gear Container or pay $5 to buy one".

It's warner bros.

 

[LowRoller]

Boring, eh?

Why is it still allowed to make a game reveal with a pure CG trailer?

It makes sense when you look at the views they got from the mkx cg trailer. We'll probably get gameplay next week.

 

[delSai]

I feel like the gear thing will just be something like MKX's form switch or something along those lines, just changes skills and not actually upgrading your stats.

Yeah, like a "Create your Variation" or somethin' like this.
I understand people have their doubts, especially with WB doing all this but maybe we should wait till we get more info on that system.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Superman kinda looks like Ray Liotta.

 

[kulapik]

I was going to make a Martha joke but I was beaten to the punch, just like Zach Snyder's reputation.

 

[Elginer]

day fucking one

 

[Zerojul]

I'm in if SP is good. Atrocitus is hype af.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

...Please oh God did they just announce a fighting game with microtransactions
