I was going to say they have done a full reboot but then I remembered the intro to MK9 actually starts with the events of MK:A

It's great.

ImpAtom posted:The thing that amazes me most about mortal Kombat is how goddamn consistent they are about their insane lore built up over literal decades of fighting game endings and random sidestories. They could have done a full reboot and nobody would have blinked an eye but nope we're going to keep that poo poo and continue to acknowledge it without blinking an eye. It's weird that I live in a world where Mortal Kombat is a good, useful example of how to handle a long-running series's continuity. You go over to Dead Rising and they can't keep their poo poo straight for four games in ten years.

I suppose that's one way to cut corners but it would be dumb to just blank one of them out. "shared characters" makes sense for some non-kyle raynor green lanterns and Power Girl/ Dr. Zoom but idk who else it works for.

I believe they did kill off a lot of the C-listers in the comics that take place between MK9 and MKX. I know Mavado and Reiko bit it, and I think Drahmin and Havok got killed as well.

He'll probably be an alternate to Poison Ive. Cuz plants. Cythereal posted:To be fair, everyone who died in MK9 came back as an undead wraith in X. Only a few of them were actually resurrected later. So we're getting Undead Wraith Joker in Injustice 2.

ImpAtom posted:Baraka technically did die between games, he dies in the flashback chapter of MKX. I think that section is an optional QTE that gives you the choice of killing him or not killing him, so that'll give them an excuse to bring him back if they really want to. (That and he's one of a million interchangeable fang-men.)

I really really liked that guy. They can always consider the comics non-canon. Or since this is MK, people dying doesn't mean they're gone for good. It wasn't just the characters that sucked in the 3D games. It was the games. But now we seem to have some competency back and we can have good stories and good gameplay and we can make characters that were originally questionable into ones that are fun to at least see in action, if not play as them.

It's ludicrous as gently caress but you know you're at least getting a complete game full of modes and features. SFV, at launch with the season pass, was almost the same price and had like three times less poo poo. Doesn't make it any less loving insane but hey some people literally bought PS4 just for Bloodborne

I'll happily buy the ultimate edition digital on PSN. I know i'm going to enjoy this game. MKX was the only fighting game I truly enjoyed, it had so much content and was a fighting game for everyone, not just the crazy toxic competitive fighting community that Street Fighter V tried to intentionally cater to. gently caress that game.

SFV was such a waste, I can't imagine spending like 60 bucks on both character season passes and still sitting there with a barebones game

This is never coming to PC, is it? Game needs a Deadman mode where you play Nightwing's moveset and voice in the character model of your choice, then at the end of the match he flies off and they're like "buh what the hell just happened??"

They did a beta for the netcode revamp that came with XL, I can't remember if they did one earlier.

I am guessing that the people voting for the classic layout stick would never actually use it and would instead just have it as a collectible because dear god every time I see that layout it looks hideous, and I can't imagine it being at all comfortable to use.

If they're planning on putting out a stick specifically for MK then I don't care if it has the traditional layout but it also seems like it'd be easy to include an alternate faceplate with a more traditional layout.

I played mk9 on such a stick and when it came time to play MKX I wound up playing on pad instead because I just can't make the layout work on a normal stick. *ed* I voted for it cause its better

http://support.wbgames.com/link/portal/24022/24028/Article/1462/Injustice-2-Multiplayer-Online-Beta-FAQ - Beta will be roughly a month long and coming "soon". - Superman, Supergirl, Batman, and Atrocitus will be playable. - Invites will be staggered throughout the duration of the beta so I guess if you ain't in day one you still got a chance.

Watching the Watchtower stream right now---Damian Wayne Robin was revealed. Beta codes being sent out later tonight. Costume and equipment poo poo looks like modular stuff similar to Smash Bros in that each character can have up to like 2 "ability slots" that change certain moves. i.e. Batman can have an anti-air batarang over an air-to-ground one. Also they finally loving changed Batman's awful stance from Injustice.
