I figured there might be a chance RH or Starfire might appear in the story mode (like Tanya did in MKX) but with how barebones those character bios are I doubt they'll show up at all.

yeah that's just like

who those characters are with zero relation to the injustice universe

I mean, they didn't seem to worry about that with the other 28 characters.

It would be tight if Red Hood ends up being the secret protagonist and most of the game revolves around him.

All the other bios are establishing why the character is in the position they are in at the start of Injustice's story. These are basically just the intro paragraph you could find on Wikipedia for the character.

Sub-Zero's doesn't even go as far as Scorpion's does from the last one in tossing off a token explanation for his presence in this dimension.

Starfire was trapped in the Phantom Zone by Superman along with Red Robin, Superboy, and Wonder Girl in this universe, so unless the Titans escaped she probably doesn't have a story role.

LOL I remember how loving bad that victory pose was. Man we've come a long, long way from MK9/Injustice 1. I still think the first Injustice is the worst of the 3 NRS games, but now it looks like the sequel will be the best of all 4. This is gonna be a long-rear end 7 days.

Unless I'm wrong, I think NRS said that they'd periodically patch in more gear as the year goes on? That's a pretty cool reason to keep playing. Between Metaverse and leveling guys up, playing dress-up, farting around in arcade mode/tourney mode, this is pretty much on par with Guilty Gear Xrd for longevity with the modality and options.

yea I kept MKX installed on my PS4 for ages just to occasionally gently caress around in the towers and poo poo, I'm sure this will have a long life too considering how devoted NRS' fans are normally and how much poo poo will still be moving around post-launch.

Well now I don't feel bad about not going to Toryuken, looks like everyone in the Toronto scene is going to have a weeks+ head start for a game that should only be a few days old by the time the tournament starts.

Pretty cool how NRS dropped the story mode straight into mobile like that. I wasn't expecting it to look that good.

It looks like the mobile game has the first chapter in it, so if you want to see it yourself you can grab that.

It's also a flashback, so there's not much to spoil.

Yep I ain't touching story on the phone game.

In fact I don't even want to play the phone game, but I am a slave to the unlocks it will give me for the console version :(

So far I think it's just the Grid premier skin for Cyborg. There might be announcements forthcoming, I think they mentioned they'd do a stream that had more about the mobile game.

After MK9, NRS moved away from ridiculous beachball breasts. The comparison between MK9 to MKX is starkly notable and is way better.

those are still giant titties though so idk what else to say

True but it's still notable that they're within the human(oid) norm, Wonder Woman in the last game was swinging bowling balls.
