I also suspect that it may have originally been a third Injustice, considering there are so many comic characters in the dlc. That part I think it's safe to toss at the feet of WB, assuming that's how it went.
Official word from NRS is that they decided to skip their usual MK/IJ/MK/IJ cadence and do two MKs in a row because they had to redo all their engine customizations for a newer version of Unreal Engine, so if they did that for an Injustice 3 it'd be a really long wait for a new MK. And that decision was made before COVID remote work slowed everything down even more!

When a new Tekken, a new Street Fighter, and several second string fighting games have come out in such close proximity, all of very good quality, it's kinda no wonder NRS is quiet.

mk1 came out after sf6

read further up and i guess the point is that they havent done enough post-launch? idk, i played the story and uninstalled, like every nrs game. i thought it was really fun though.

Yeah the story was fun and the game looks nice. No argument there. I play primarily online and don't like how the game is shaking out that way, personally.

To the SF point, all I mean is that a lot of newer games are doing a lot of novel things that are cool and interesting, and 1 isn't really. That's not a direct knock on it but the muted reception and post release decisions are probably impacted by that fact.

It ended up being the worst Mortal Kombat in quite a long time. Its pretty loving dire the state the game is in compared to the last few NetherRealm titles.

Wasn't there rumors that the Xbox BC team was going to start back up again this year? I think they did as much as they could license-wise so I'm assuming that if true it's either to do more FPS boosting or perhaps the rumors of the next Xbox being ARM-based are true and they're gonna start working on ensuring XB/360/XB1/Series games work on the new architecture whenever it launches?

What was the latest on new hardware? I've got a sneaking suspicion that GTA6 will run fantastically on Series X+ and PS5 Pro and will be the first major incentive to upgrade.

Bit early for a new gen/console refresh isn’t it? I can’t imagine a pro version of the current consoles being anymore than an incremental upgrade

Its 4 years since launch of the PS5, which is how long it took the PS4 pro to show up

It's always early for a refresh because they're bullshit but:

PS4 2013, Pro 2016

XBone 2013, XboneX 2017

So depending on how you choose frame it PS5 Pro is either already late or still on schedule to come out same time as last gen.

I definitely see the thing that happened for the first time ever last gen and wasn't particularly successful as precedent-setting

There hasn't been any such rumors as far as I can tell, at least, not with any substance behind them. Probably more wishful thinking post-Activision acquisition.

While back-compat has ended, the book hasn't been closed on FPS Boosts IIRC. The reason they stopped releasing those is because their One Cool Trick they were using ran out of games it worked on and they need to figure out new tricks, likely on a per-game basis.

We absolutely don't need a refresh right now but why wouldn't they make one if it's going to sell out within minutes?

A few pages back there was an in-the-know goon that did a great write-up on why "Pro" consoles were very unlikely this gen and that's been my take ever since. That aside, I'm still not entirely sure what needs to be upgraded so badly about the current line, especially because devs can't seem to pump out AAA games quickly enough and there still aren't any games that have pushed the SX/PS5 to their limits.

Imagine working on a mid gen refresh Xbox or PS5 knowing that the thing the world is screaming a revised Switch sort of in the neighborhood of base PS4 spec

4k TVs came out last time, and that’s why I bought PS4 Pro (but as an upgrade from a PS3). The only thing you’d get from a refresh now is 60 FPS and RT at the same time, and that wouldn’t be enough to get me to upgrade, especially when the better move is for more devs to do a 40FPS mode like the Spider-Man games do.

It’s only on Xbox (for now) and it’s probably the biggest win gamepass ever scored.

It’s a big win.

It’s been updated to the same version as of a day or so ago afaik.

That was also a MS problem which is something they need to work on.
