Injustice 2's graphics and production values (both on console and mobile) seem insane

Nah, this thread is hyperbole at its "best". If I never had the opportunity to actually watch some gameplay, going by this thread I'd probably wait for some Mortal Kombat 1 tier animations.

I disagree. I find those animations and the way the game moves too janky. And i'm not going to compare it with a 1993 game that uses 3 of 4 frames for each move.

It's a modified version of UE3, yeah. Continued on from the modified version they used for MKX.

Quite impressive - Can't wait to see what the next MK will look like, provided they stick with their new face tech. Fatalities on more realistic looking characters could be quite something indeed.
 
Some more images to nitpick and tear apart... ;)

I agree but as other said animations are bad and personally while women are definitively improved they can be better imo.
 
So many money thrown at this an still it doesnt have a castillian spanish dub when all the other WB games, DC, bigger or smaller than injustice have.
And they also have spanish voice actors that dub this characters always, like Caludio Serrano, the voice of everything Batman even in the WB theme park we have in the country.
And Injustice 1 and 2 are still dub in every major language (even latin american spanish with their shitty DC name translations) but not castilliam spanish. Is like someone in netherealm actually hates our language and tries to not have it in their games at all cost, it seems so strange with the dub pedigree of WB as a publisher and giant media company, because it makes no fucking sense.
EDIT Even Mortal Kombat does have voices in spanish now that i remember so its only Injustice. But why?
 
The animations are lackluster but the overall production values are immense for a fighting game. I'm glad that at least one fighting game studio is making enough money to put some money behind the product.

Lol there is never a finnish dub in any games. Would be kind of funny to have one big game with finnish dubs.The last game to have a finnish dub that I've played was Ratchet and clank: tools of destruction.
 
Visuals don't count for much if your character postures and animations are janky, especially in a fighting game.

We definitely need more fighters pushing the boundaries of both visual and animation detail, Xrd is really in a league of it's own in that area.
 
The technical aspects are solid but I feel like something with art direction like the Marvel Vs series serves comics better. It looks like plastic action figures come to life (which is fine if you like that.) Too bad kung fu action grip animations came with them.
 
Injustice 2 is going to be the best selling fighting game of the year. Capcom boys who stink up the thread go back to play SFV, a game with less content, inferior netcode and characters that look like this:

Capcom wish it was making injustice money. Maybe rashid's hair wouldn't clip thru his chest and the starting roster would be more than 16 characters
 
I guess i will wait for Tekken 7 and probably will buy I2 when they release the game of the year edition, season pass is too expensive and you need it to unlock 9 characters sigh, and people were complaining when Capcom allowed us to unlock characters for free in SFV.
 
I've met Jon Greenberg, their lead rendering engineer, on several occasions and he's a good guy, and super sharp. On the other hand I envy the cycles these guys have that don't need to be spent on PVS solves and arbitrarily complex scene graphs, given my vantage point form the world of FPS games. And with all that headroom, it better look amazing...

Eh... Ken might look odd in the character selection screen but on the whole the character models in SFV are pretty fantastic and animate beautifully.

It manages to look pretty nice despite the super bland art style (and some particularly awful individual designs). That said, the folks calling this the prettiest fighter ever...

Have ya'll seen Guilty Gear Xrd? That looks great outside of stills too.
Click to expand...
I honestly hate how Guilty Gear animates.
 
I remember seeing Injustice 2's Arthur for the first time, and being gravely disappointed and even very slightly offended. But Arthur now? Damn, son.

Seriously, though, mad props to NRS for the huge improvements!

I abhor the animation in NRS games and it isn't surprising that's the primary complaint against their titles. I legit believe it's the one area holding NRS back from dominating the genre (in more than just sales) and their stubborn refusal to address it is frustrating to witness.
Click to expand...

How do you know they are refusing to address it without inside information on what's going on in their studio? For the scope of their games and length of their development cycle, that's gonna take time.

Damn, did the past Injustice game thread have this many sour posts?
Click to expand...

That NRS animation video has given a lot of people who never cared for their games the vocabulary to back up their contempt. Or at least, a handy YouTube link that they can drop anytime an NRS title is praised.
 
Was going to pass, but this thread convinced me. Never enough fighters.

Downloading my PSPlus Injustice Gods Among Us and hopefully can beat it tonight. Also, that mobile game is surprisingly alright.
 
Gotta admit, it's a fucking massive improvement from Injustice 1, which is honestly one of the more hideous fighting games from last gen. Certainly puts SFV to shame, though maybe not Tekken 7 and certainly not Guilty Gear.

Too bad I hate how NRS games play.
 
Okay guys as an NRS fanboy no need to be calling people Capcom fanboys for not liking it.

I'm torn right now, was going to post a saltymessage but I decided not to as that not help anything.

The reason I'm torn is because that animation video, I'm sad because it became a buzzkill in threads like this as it will always be pointed out more than it did before that video and will flood these threads. I'm also happy that it's out there as it will push NRS to do something about it like they did with the netcode and faces.

While people may exaggerate it, the animations are a legit reason for people to complain I guess. But everything else I seen is either wrong or subjective

Outside of 2 chars really all faces are done really well, don't know why I'm still seeing this brought up.
 
Played through the Story mode on iOS and was pretty impressed. The story, the graphics, the cutscenes; all made it feel like a AAA game on my phone.

That being said, why the fuck is there only like 4 chapters for Story mode?? Is the rest just not finished or am I going to need to purchase it :(

They're said they plan to add in chapters overtime rather than altogether
 
This is weird it looks good and "off" at the same time. I vastly prefer the looks of street fighter 5, killer instinct, tekken and a lot of 2d fighters


I get it. Since it's DC they want a more realistic take then let's say a marvel vs Capcom but ehh. I mean even MvCI looks off as well.

Wish there were more colors and that it would pop more
