It's nice that this one looks much more like a game than the previous Netherrealm mobile titles. Will make unlocking costumes much less of a chore, though lord knows I spent enough time trying to unlock Mad Scientist Bray Wyatt in Immortals.

This looks basically the same as the mkx mobile game.

Do we know if all of the characters are Injustice universe only, or if we'll have characters/versions of characters from the regular DC universe as well, like before.

Injustice-verse Green Arrow is dead, and black canary has been emigrated.

Since canary is in the game, that does imply some sort of alt-verse shenanigans.

Looks like the characters are split up into multiple factions?

Gorilla Grod's group( Grod, Bane, Cheetah, Poison Ivy, Cold)
Bat Family (Batman, Green Arrow, Canary, Green Lantern(?), Flash(?))
The Regime (Superman, Wonderwoman, Cyborg, Robin)
External Threat (Atroticus, Darkseid, Braniac)

I'm obviously leaving confirmed characters out, since I'm not sure how to group them together.

Can I attach this gigantic summary in the OP because this owns and I wish more of it had been actually depicted in the games. It's like they took out all the cool poo poo and the story mode we got was a very sanitized one.

Why are we talking about Joker as if he was confirmed to be in? Last I heard we had no information on him at all, and people were assuming he was going to stay dead.

The Fool

I seem to recall some marketing material specifically saying that it wasn't Jason Todd and was definitely someone new. Essentially outright lying.


I thought the joker storyline in City was well done, and should have been the main storyline, with some generic mob boss or penguin as the B plot. Game would have been a ton better.

Are there going to be default gear sets for each character? Some of these new gear moves seem rad but I can't see them ever being used in tournaments if they have to be manually equipped etc.

I don't know if it's a dev feature or not, but in one of the streams they were switching between "loadouts" that had been preconfigured.

GameRiot has some video showing off "Multiverse" gameplay mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVSjqyCvXP8


Screen cap from youtube.

Top Row: Cyborg, Green Lantern, Flash, Grodd, Aquaman, Atrocitus, Batman, Superman, Supergirl, Dr. Fate, Robin, Bane, Scarecrow, Catwoman.
Bottom Row: Locked, Green Arrow, Captain Cold, Cheetah, Swamp Thing, Blue Beetle, Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Deadshot, Black Canary, Firestorm, Poison Ivy, Black Adam, Locked.

One of the locked slots should be Joker, the other should be Darkseid.

Also, in addition to the event streaming on youtube on Friday, there is another event streaming on Facebook on Thursday.

They've stated that the comic tie in is a prequel story to the game.

So was Injustice 1, but there are plenty of story lines that resolve themselves within the comic without having any impact on the game story line.

This Jason Todd story line could easily resolve itself outside of any game context.

I liked Hawkgirl mostly for the fantastic sound effects for smashin' some dudes face with a spiked mace. I also thought she had some good options for getting in and generally decent mobility. Her trait was up there with Cyborg's in terms of uselessness though.

As an aside, this is probably an old question, but do I really have to shell out 100 bucks to play as my fav space cop John Stewart?

Only if you can't wait a couple weeks.

Historically, pre-order DLC has been made available for individual purchase at some point after the game launches. Probably cost $5 or less

vv- MKX single characters are $4.99 on XBONE

It's super weird. Most people just want to jump in to the arcade/story mode because that's the entire game to them and multiplayer is just like an extra thing to do if they have friends over/are bored.

That's me.

I really don't ever play multiplayer in fighting games unless it's a party and we're all drunk. The new generation of MK and the Injustice games have been great for that.

However, I got a ton of play out of the living tower modes in MKX, and look forward to the Multiverse game mode for Injustice 2.

I don't really remember enjoying the extra game modes as much in MK9 and Injustice:GAU

^^- The marketing timeline is paralleling MKX pretty closely. I would expect similar release time frames for DLC.

fadam posted:

Am I missing something, where are you guys reading that DLC pack 1 is available on release?

You're not, they're dumb.

They explicitly said in the last stream that the DLC characters are not ready.

If they follow the same release schedule as MKX, the first character will be release 1-2 weeks after launch.

Don't think so. After what happened with MKX I'd stay far, far away from any PC port they release, though.

If they do it in house it should be fine.

The problems were with the studio that did the port, not NRS. After NRS took control of the PC port back, the fixed just about everything.

I can't imagine they'd just throw another hosed-up port at the wall yet again outright when it already has an indefinite delay.


Weren't Mad Max, Just Cause 3, and Shadow of Mordor all optimized great for PC? poo poo only hit the fan with Arkham Knight and MKX to my knowledge

It's even funnier because Mad Max and Arkham Knight were released within a couple weeks of each other.

The point being that the game being published by WB is almost irrelevent, attention must be paid to which studio is actually doing the work.

Monolith, Avalanche, and NRS all seem to do good work. High Voltage (MKX) and Iron Galaxy(Arkham Knight) should probably be avoided.
