Injustice Ultimate Edition announced for PS4/Vita/PS3/360/PC [NA: 11/12 | EU: 11/29]

The only reasonable scenarios IMO why this is on PS4 and not X1:
1) Sony provided extended support and pretty much paid for the Vita version's development as a solid to do whatever they can for the Vita while still pushing out a PS4 version (the main sell).
2) They simply wanted to take it slow, and if these plans were made quickly when Injustice got caught in some of the worst months in a decade for video game sales, only could afford (time/manpower available quickly) working on one next-gen version at a time, of which you would choose the PS4 obviously because of better prospects and less competition ATM.
Or a combination thereof.

PS4 version will be mine. I don't see how they could screw up the port and not make it better than the current gen.
Pros will probably be playing on PS4 now if all goes well.

Gee, I hope so. Not all the characters were showered with multiple skins.

What is different on Ps4 to ps3. the features theyre talking about are ps4 options (streaming, videosharing) but theres actually no real difference engine wise, framerate wise, graphic wise?
What has begun?
Valid point. Could very well be Sony's attempt to compete with killer instinct at launch.
And Killer Instinct is a 20 dollar downloadable title with a free-to-play option at launch. Injustice will be a 60 dollar retail title. You could be right, but I doubt MS cares enough to block a port of it. This is either a case of moneyhats or others are correct and Sony actually paid for the ports to be done.
Not if you actually want the game to be portable.

To be fair, why do you need to use both GPUs with the game? Unless you're trying to supersample to hell and back, you're gonna get rock solid performance with even average hardware like I have.
I agree however that the port wasn't fantastic.
That is definitely a possibility. Sony does not have a competing game in the genre at launch. They could have funded it.

The Adam West and Knightfall skins are exclusive to PS3.
Also, playing as the Joker was PS3-exclusive in the original Arkham game. That never came to 360, even in the GOTY version.

Dave is single-handedly saving the vita
They are making MK10 right now.
I don't think MS is blocking anything either. Just saying the two situations aren't really comparable.
It's quite possible that the devs said to Sony and MS, "If you provide the devs(or cash) to port the game you can have it at launch." Obviously Sony would be more inclined to say 'yes' since they have no fighter, and MS would effectively "block" it by not agreeing to port a game themselves (or pay for a port) that will directly compete with KI. I could see that being the case.
Thats why i think ill go PS3, game was built for PS3 thats where ill play it.
MK10 will be my PS4 game

nah, xb1 just isn't powerful enough to handle High Voltage's shitty programming.

Even when the PS4 version is 1080p with no jaggies or frame drops?
I think the only thing to worry about is online code and possibly post-release support.
Or Sony went to the devs and said "we need a solid fighting game on our new platform. Will pay you to port it". Both are valid scenarios.
Money hats are rarely just payouts. They're usually promotional funding, development support, co-publishing deals and so on.Seems like a reasonable scenario.
Kind of the "good" version of money hats
What you consider the "good" version of money hats is essentially the only version of money hats.

i wanna see PS4 footage. hopefully character models get a bit of upgrade.
Considering how much everyone is complaining about High Voltage's previous work and they're the ones put on the _only_ next-gen port that's happening, that seems to be the most plausible explanation. i.e. next-gen ports weren't a high priority for WB/NR until someone offered them a deal for it.

It probably means the PS4 version is ported from PC.
If the port is good, I don't understand why you would go with the inferior version if you have the option not to do so.

maybe to give Ki some breathing room?

Rofl this is a fucking trend!
I'll not buy KI on launch. I'll wait for KI [insert cliche] edition.

KI free edition? Because that's day 1
Haven't bought Injustice yet, so if they do the work and the PS4 version is 1080p/60fps and looks like a PS4 game (aka looks like the PC version will look based on how great MK9 looked on the PC) should look, I'll probably go in on this, especially since it'll have the Vita remoteplay.

There's apparently no reason to buy this if you already have the base game though. No new game content was announced that isn't already available through DLC.
New to fighting game threads? That's a common sentiment.
It's not exactly a new concept for fighting games.
It runs at 60 frames now im pretty sure, just how much different will the port be seriously? i don't think you will see anything but a total copy paste of the game to a new console for a last ditch cash injection for the game on a new console.
And like i said, MK9 is UNPLAYABLE online for PC and High voltage are responsible for that marvelous port also, even with the PC bells and whistles it looks the same as it does on consoles pretty much.
If you're worrying about jaggies in a fighting game you are playing fighting games for the wrong reasons...

I doubt it is to give some room, Ed Boon had a shocking face during KI trailers at EVO, but again doesn't surprise that much since the crowd booed the XB1 logo. He might think that not MK or Injustice will compete against KI in XB1.
