Injustice 2 - The Lines Are Redrawn

Even iconically. Bet more people recognize Joker than Magneto. This is using the strict definition of iconic being "easily recognizable" and let's face it, popularity does lead to iconic status.

I mean, he is a green haired, chalky white skinned killer clown. He is incredibly recognizable

Again, not worth debating here. My Lex point is still relevant though.
 
So is this even getting a PC port or is WB throwing in the towel on porting to PC?

Nothing's been announced yet, but it looks as though they've had a bit of a turn around on their PC titles. They worked with QLOC on the MKX PC update, which is very solid, so I see them working with them from now on.
 
Honestly this looks pretty believable.

It would suggest that they view the primary target audience of the game as, in order of relevance:
1.) Arkham Asylum fans
2.) DC TV show fans
3.) Comic book enthusiasts
4.) People who need to be teased about future games like Warner Montreal's Damian Wayne game

The only weird additions on the list were the ones like Power Girl, John Stewart and Mr Freeze where they had incredibly similar characters on the roster. Now that we know the list includes the premier skins, it all makes a lot of sense.
 
I mean maybe... It doesn't change the fact that Injustice 2 won't feature any top tier super heroes though... :/

Like Spider-Man or Ironman or Captain America ...

Like I want to like Injustice 2... I do.
But I find I tend like the more well known and beloved super heroes.

A game featuring Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman doesn't have any "top tier super heroes"?

Is this a troll post? I'm genuinely asking. On what planet are Batman and Superman not top tier, well-known super heroes?

Basically you like Marvel heroes more than DC.
 
Hmmmm I'm more than likely wrong but I get the feeling them 9 characters it's just pack 1!!

Like they release 3 chars at same time with a premium skin then rinse and repeat.

Sounds too crazy.

I'm not a fan of advertising DLC chars before release but I do hope they keep adding more in as they go to keep the game alive

WBs shitty practices gives it a bad look, but from those who played MK9, I1, MKX already know the games where super rich in content on release.

Don't know why there is this stigma of you can only do so many DLC before you get dirty looks
 
Again, not worth debating here. My Lex point is still relevant though.

I guess not. But I would argue that villains like Braniac and Darksied also occupy mind share of "most recognizable superman villain" while Joker completely dominates "most recognizable batman villain"

I feel the reason we can't debate is I don't know how you are defining iconic, since I am using recognition and 2 I am not a frequent comic book reader. I only read things that interest me.
 
So the character part of the Injustice website has 20 more locked spots for unannounced characters. If you remove John Stewart, PeeGee, and Zoom from the leaked roster, that's only 19. That means we still have one more that hasn't leaked. Also, what's the deal with Mr Freeze? Is he going to be his own spot or an alt for Captain Cold?
 
... ... ... Isn't his super power that he's discustingly rich and has a cool car?

I don't know... That doesn't sound very top tier to me.



😁 I know... I'm terrible.

Right, so you're just trolling to start some Marvel vs DC shit. Got it.

Brainiac isn't more recognizable than Lex as his design is constantly shifting and Darkseid isn't a Superman villain.


Maybe I'll make a thread.
 
That sounds like Iron Man, who you just described as top tier.

Ironman, who had the amazing intellectual ability and engineering know how to build a fucking suit of armor that flies and shoots lasers and has a built in portable nuclear reactor...

Batman took his money and asked an R&D department to give him some cool tank cars and some new age fibers to make a hang glider cape. Woooooo...

No contest there.

Basically you like Marvel heroes more than DC.

This is probably true... Yes.
Although Supergirl looks particularly brutal in his game... I'd probably main her if I buy it...

This is what it looks like when people don't care about the history of characters decades old and form opinions from 2 or 3 movies.
 
Also, what's the deal with Mr Freeze? Is he going to be his own spot or an alt for Captain Cold?

Gotta wait and see. I hope he is an alt., because 2 Ice-Gun Dudes would be kinda weird but other than both having Ice Guns they would be rather different. Freeze would be slower and all that.

Basically

"I have a solid grasp of 75 years worth of history a character has based on watching the Christopher Nolan movies that tried to ground Batman in reality"

I'm very familiar with the decades old history of Batman.

I hope they have this skin in the game...
Adam West Batman is best Batman. Right?

Basically

"I have a solid grasp of 75 years worth of history a character has based on watching the Christopher Nolan movies that tried to ground Batman in reality"

And the Tim Burton movies, and the Joel Schumacher movies, and the 1960's Adam West TV show which was in syndication during the 80s when I was a child.

Batman was my hero... Until Adam West at a signing at an autoshow refused to sign 4-year-old me's Batmobile toy as "Batman"... Douche signed it "Adam West"... I cried for weeks.

Don't you know? Comic characters are only as relevant as the live action media they were created to promote, so it's not like there's any other depth to them.

Sony typically does a spend $100, get $15 back in February, which might help if you pre-order, although don't do it with Sony unless you're OK getting locked in with no chance of refund.
 
Regarding the PC version, the first Injustice was released later. So keeping that in mind and what happened with MKX, this should be out on PC by next year.
 
Did Citizen Cold look any different than pre Flashpoint Captain Cold? I honestly don't remember.

No he looks the same.

Not looking forward to edgy armored Captain Cold. His classic look is fine but they will absolutely overdesign and throw the custom system on top of him for this.
 
Only issue I have with this trailer is the end showing Darkseid as a preorder bonus. Hate that shit, love me some Darkseid though, now I got dilemma.

Can't have Snart without the parka, that better be an option.
 
I find it odd that Flash wasn't in this trailer considering how more popular he's becoming now today. Instead they continue to focus on the usual Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. At least Supergirl is getting her due.
 
$40 for 9 characters and 3 skins? That's absurd.

That's cheaper than buying 9 characters at $5 a pop. Plus the extra stuff. Seems in line.

Plus you can probably get it cheaper at launch via Best Buy or Amazon Prime with their discounts.

Sony will probably also run a spend $100/get $15 before release for digital. Not much on the Xbox digital side, though.
 
I really don't understand the pricing. The digital deluxe edition is $80 -- that's $20 for 3 characters and a premium skin. That's more expensive than MKX's DLC. It appears that you can "save" $20 by purchasing the $100 bundle, but it's $60 if you want to buy the three character passes individually.

CP1 ($20) - 3 characters, Power Girl alt
CP2 ($20) - 3 characters, John Stewart alt
CP3 ($20) - 3 characters, Reverse-Flash alt
