Injustice 2 Roster Discussion & Speculation Thread

Sure. Any characters/stages youd prefer?

If you can, could you also a do a video of just going through all the menus and options menus and the online menus?

Just to see the online game modes, and things like that, unless you have to connect online and don't want to do that.

Superman vs black canary in metropolis (not the bar).

I have raw pictures of that so it would be easy to compare it to.

And Superman vs anyone in the Gotham city theater.

And some canary + superman + supergirl intro.

Again, it's because I had raw footage that I captured back in the beta :D .

I use a pro but i'm pretty sure it had 0 support back in the beta.
 
For fucksake! After the backlash with Rain and Sindel why would they pull this shit again? Honest to God, what is the point?
Weird because they said they wouldn't do it again, seems they did. But it makes sense.

They explained that the purpose is to have guests/more characters to expand the story. Limiting the story to just the main roster would make for a more contrived and limited story.
 
Sure. Any characters/stages youd prefer?

Nah, doesn't really matter. Whatever you come up with is fine. :) Best it's bright stages though. And no or not too much movement going on. Because there is motion blur, right?

Maybe you can also take one or two shots of Power Girl in the customization menu. We can compare it to the photo that was leaked.
 
They promised not to have story mode NPCs. Damian Wayne isn't an NPC -- he just has a different move set for one story mode battle.

Well technically I'm not so sure.

He has a different name. And a different moveset. That does absolutely make him a non playable fighter.
 
I'm confused

Cant the staff thing be implemented for a alternative trait to make a Nightwing premiere skin?

No.

In the "regular" game, Damian uses a sword and is younger. This is just Injustice 1 Nightwing's moveset (staff mode) with a new model. There wouldn't be a way to make this a premiere skin

They promised not to have story mode NPCs. Damian Wayne isn't an NPC; he just has a different move set for one story mode battle. It's less than half of a move set, actually -- he doesn't appear to have a super or any of his Eskrima stick moves.

lol no, this is just a technicality. It's totally an unplayable NPC.
It might technically be Damian, but it's 100% Nightwing, a character that is not playable.

People wanted characters like Rain that had some work put into it and fightable.

This isnt the exact same but a similar and still different enough situation people gonna want this version being playable im gonna guarantee.

I don't see what makes this so impossible. They can just skin the sword into a staff and keep the trait they implemented for Nightwing while using the Robin model.

Nightwing and Robin have nothing in common though. Not the same special moves, not the same trait, and not the same neutrals. Keep in mind Nightwing has 2 stances, and his batons stance has nothing to do with Robin's sword.
 
Sure. Any characters/stages youd prefer?

If you recreate this shot we can compare the resolution pretty well, because in 1080p there seems to be some strong aliasing/dithering going on on her hair.

I still hate that people got so in their feelings about those NPC fights in MKX. I thought is was dope that the fights in the story mode weren't limited to the main roster.

Nightwing and Robin are both identities for the character of Damian Wayne, who is playable. It's just that he has less than half of an old Injustice 1 move set ported over for a story mode fight. This isn't a big deal. I'd be upset if Dick Grayson appeared as an NPC with a brand new model, but this is stupid. People just can't help but complain about every fun little Easter egg we get.

Yeah, it was great.

What people were pissed about were fighting some of their favourite characters with near full movelists and complete redesigns in story mode and then not being able to play as them. It was the ultimate dick-tease with no payoff.

It's kinda a big deal to people who like Nightwing and see him almost there, but not quite.

It was already a bizarre omission in the game, this is kind of just rubbing it in fan's faces. If they wanted a post crazy Superman Damian to be in the story, they were free to do what they did in Injustice and add Dick, with Damian being the actual Nightwing in story mode (Dick never appears in the story mode)
 
I'm fine with the whole
Nightwing
thing as long as you get the gear for him that you see in the video.
Nightwing
was one of my favourite characters to play as GAU, but I'd rather NRS didn't dick-tease us again.
 
Here is the picture you asked for Slaythe. I am putting together a 7 minute video that goes through the menus and all the characters and the ones that have premier skins in game so far. Will post that up after.

Ugh...that's clearly 1080p, you can see very clear aliasing all over the image. You just blew it up to 4K in your share settings.
What a disappointment. So either no Pro support at all or at least no downsampling for HDTVs.

Yeah I looked at it closer and the aliasing was really apparent in that stage. Says PS4 Pro enhanced on the box so maybe it's a setting I need to find or its just going to checkerboard on 4k displays and 1080p users will get nothing.

Yeah, but this isn't the Nightwing everyone wants -- it's the fake Injusticeverse Nightwing (Damian), who is already in the game. And again, the Eskrima stick moves are gone, and he doesn't have a super. It's nowhere near a complete move set. It's just a relatively low effort nod back to Damian from the first game that people are taking the wrong way.

Are there any graphical settings in the menu? Usually 4K would be the default on Pro though...
Anyway, thanks for confirming this. Not to sound dramatic or cliché but I saved 69€ and I'm going to cancel my preorder tomorrow. ;) I told myself not to support any games that don't support my Pro investment, in principle. Especially after more and more developers seem to be dropping support now. Sucks though, because Injustice did actually interest me a lot, in stark contrast to all other NRS fighting games before.

Can I share your Image in the Pro support thread? Many will be interested to hear there's either no support or nothing for HDTV users.

But, like, they had to know people would take it the wrong way. It's not like Dick Grayson is an obscure niche character that only a small group of people want in Injustice. We're talking about one of the first superhero side kicks who has been around longer than 90% of the roster and has remained relevant through his entire history. Someone who has been in basically every character in the game's business at some point in time.

If the cameo isn't appreciated... why bother with it? It's not like the story needed an appearance from old Damian. In Injustice he just pops in and is like "is that Dick?" "Nah, that's Damian" "Okay"

Man I've always wondered if my lack of appreciating these things is a gift or a curse, but if it affected me enough cancel a game I really wanted to play, I guess for this case I'll take the ignorance road than educated.

Like I see in the picture posted but never really phased me much in motion.

Sorry that you where knocked off man
 
It says there's people online but I haven't tried yet. I'm also ass at NRS fighters and havent played one since MKX launch so I need to learn the game better before I mess around online.
No worries man just curious if it has an actually Rankec mode or shows your country's flag in a room

I'm doubting both
 
Yeah no graphic settings in options. I have patch 1.01 so maybe there will be another on that enhances something or maybe the cinematics and clashes/supers are in higher definition. There is an option for HDR10 but I can't test it.

I think I'm being misunderstood. I'm not expecting a super or unique moveset, just a skinned staff and change of voice/dialogue. I understand it'd be Robin's everything else

It's in principle. I'm not cancelling it because it looks terrible. It doesn't look bad at all. It's one of the nicest looking fighters to date, but I spend 400$ on a Pro and believed Sony there would be Pro support for every upcoming game and downsampling for HDTVs. At first there was, but now a clear trend has started that either the Pro isn't supported or it's poorly and unfairly supported. Like nothing for HDTV peasants. I'm conveying Sony and developers a message with my wallet.

Not sure what to make of it.

Your capture was 4K, can you try capturing 1080p ? I wonder if the upscaling damaged the picture quality or not.

How do they know you're passing because of that and not because you don't like the game though ?

You should tweet them to let them know.
