Why would Superman need armor?

 

[vg260]

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.

I thought there was a slim chance they'd try a Windows 10 UWA version if they were going to do a PC version. I would have thought Microsoft would have been encouraging that to developers if their Xbox/W10 platform push made it easier and essentially the same code base, but I guess that was even too much effort.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Right now Jim Lee is masturbating to the transforming armor designs.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

If it's like Smash 4, the game probably will let you select a stock unarmoured character, and also give a bunch of slots for your customised characters. Armour and outfits will probably change various stats. They may do something bullshit like a complete armour set or outfit giving a character a new special move or two. And armour will be dropped in loot boxes piecemeal.

 

[Kai Dracon]

Given that Injustice and MKX provided so many multiplayer modes and even the ability to toggle off stage interactions, I'd be pretty shocked if this doesn't have a fixed competitive mode with vanilla characters.

The specter of badly designed microtransactions is always awful, but there's no reason fighting game mechanics can't be used for stuff like this in single player modes or non-competitive multiplayer playlists.

 

[Moaradin]

Lol I can just tell all the designs are going to be terrible with that heavy armor look.

 

[Phloxy]

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.

Except for MK X which had fantastic animation and the cg trailer was pretty close to the game in terms of visual style and mechanics. Just like last year, cg trailer a few days before E3, gameplay reveal during a conference, live streams of extended gameplay throughout next week I'm sure.

 

[Syntsui]

The lack of armor was not an excuse for them to not fight between themselves on the last game. I just don't get it.

 

[Boke1879]

All in for this. Can't wait!!

 

[Hex]

Can't wait, day one!

 

[Alienous]

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

Fuck off WB.

Injustice EVOLVEd

 

[ZeroX03]

Gems 2.0

Because they worked so well the last time

 

[Hot Coldman]

free the freakazoid

No chance of this obviously, but on a tangentially related note, I'd love to see Static Shock

 

[BlackBuzzard]

I imagine the award being a big bag of money.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Injustice EVOLVEd

Funny. Isn't the term "Evolve" used in the trailer? Lol.

 

[The Giant]

FUCK OFF WITH THE CGI!!!

Expect 80% of Microsoft's conference be nothing but cgi trailers. Maybe less for sony.

 

[Endless]

HQ version of the trailer https://mega.nz/#!EAFznBrY!qNqYahm_8p55xXpE3LH_5oYfO3Pxm-fCIk5l6YdzBxg (.MOV | 229 MB)

 

[NightShift]

Who is the guy that looks like a gladiator?

300 guy. Zack Snyder's bewildering influence in the DC universe extends outside of movies.

 

[Slayven]

No chance of this obviously, but on a tangentially related note, I'd love to see Static Shock

His name is just Static

 

[LewieP]

Utterly hilarious that they're just dropping PC support. Is there anything else WB can do to demonstrate their contempt for PC gamers?

Where is that interview where someone from the developer said they were planning to do right by PC customers?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

So everyone has armor now? Guess it allows for more skins to sell.

 

[Effect]

That sucks. No PC versions means I'll have no way to play this. I doubt the NX is getting a version but I hope I'm wrong. I really enjoy the Wii U version I picked up several months ago. Was willing to buy a sequel day one if it was available. Especailly with the new characters. I still want Power Girl but I'll take Supergirl instead.

 

[ReaperXL7]

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.

And Blizzard, and many other developers.

 

[Ginger Hail]

Not big on the loot system. Sounds immediately like something the tournament scene will want to avoid. Can't wait to see if my main (Adam) is cut or not, but Grodd should be fun.

free the freakazoid

I didn't know how much I wanted this until now. They'd probably manage to fuck him up though, so maybe it's better left undone.

 

[Hot Coldman]

His name is just Static

Slayven, why you gotta shame me.

 

[ZeroX03]

"Each time I enter the pit, I emerge, reborn."

Cranston for Ra's? It sounds like it's talking about a fighting pit, but those are specific words for the DC Universe. He did then say "Devil" and not "Demon" though.

 

[RootCause]

Liked the first one, so I'm in. I expect MKX level of graphics, but with DC chars, just like the first one.

 

[Santar]

Just plesae don't make the game online only Ed please let it all be playable offline!!
I'm worried they might tie the loot drops to a server.

 

[strafer]

"Each time I enter the pit, I emerge, reborn."

Cranston for Ra's?

Nah, im betting he's voicing Superman.

 

[Sub Zero]

Please no more fucking guest characters this time. DC has a huge pool of interesting heroes and villains to choose from, so don't damage the Injustice brand like you did with MK

 

[SargerusBR]

it's soo dark, I can hardly see anything

DARKNESS! NO PARENTS!

 

[……forgetit]

Ew. That sounds like SFxT gems, only worse.

Balance? The fuck is balance? It's like the fighrers for smash without the option to turn it off.

 

[RellyRell28]

Just give me Static please

 

[NastyBook]

Armor looks like TRASH. Here's hoping for good DCEU and CW variants.

 

[DieH@rd]

Very nice trailer. Blur Studio never disappoints.

 

[Mariolee]

That Bryan Cranston?

What if he is finally playing Lex Luthor, but in a video game lol

 

[delSai]

Please no more fucking guest characters this time. DC has a huge pool of interesting heroes and villains to choose from, so don't damage the Injustice brand like you did with MK

This. We dont need Mortal Kombat characters in Injustice.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Loot drops? Meh.

I enjoyed the 1 st game, but not enough to buy at full price. I'll buy it after a price drop. But please allow us to use our legacy sticks like in MKX.

 

[Syntsui]

Please no more fucking guest characters this time. DC has a huge pool of interesting heroes and villains to choose from, so don't damage the Injustice brand like you did with MK

They already did in the first game. It's a given it will happen again.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

If Bizarro weren't playable, I'd pay $5 if it meant I could somehow get him.

 

[Nudull]

Did that kind of sound like Bruce Greenwood narrating the trailer?

 

[GinoFelino]

I thought publishers got the memo that people hate CG reveals. Now we get Watch Dogs 2 and this bullshit.

 

[Nabs]

Utterly hilarious that they're just dropping PC support. Is there anything else WB can do to demonstrate their contempt for PC gamers?

Where is that interview where someone from the developer said they were planning to do right by PC customers?

I think you're looking for that Ed Boon / Angry Joe interview about MKX.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

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.

Fucking christ. Every goddamn game doesn't need microtransactions. Building systems around microtransactions is fucking terrible.

I'm pissed if you couldn't tell. Injustice was the only fighting game I fell in love with.


There are places where microtransactions are okay, Uncharted multiplayer for example since it isn't the main focus. A fighting game is just as much about its multiplayer as it is its offline.

 

[Slayven]

Slayven, why you gotta shame me.

Cause people don't go around calling Superman "The Man of Steel Superman" or Spiderman "The Web of Spiderman Spiderman".

Static Shock, name of book and cartoon

Static, name of the character

 

[SmellyHoundRedux]

I just couldn't get into the gameplay of the first. It felt like I was merely entering a code for each move then watching it play out, there's no fluidity or organic feeling to the combat. Games like Street Fighter/Guilty Gear feel like I'm part of the moves, this really didn't.

 

[Cmerrill]

We really should put "Cgi trailer" in these thread titles so we don't waste our time watching them, expecting game play, from a game announcement.

 

[MMarston]

Kryptonians need armor?


Huh?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Why would Superman need armor?

We all Ironman now! Gotta chase Tony Stark money.

 

[Z3M0G]

Complaining about CGI trailers adds nothing to the discussion and is getting really tiring.

CGI trailers add nothing to knowing what a game will be like.

Alll this trailer is tell me "There will be an Injustice 2". Telling people this in a tweet with a handful of text characters costs far less than producing a trailer like this...
