The next year sales were WAY down for the April/Spring Quarter overall and it was attributed to nothing being MKX which almost "single-handedly carried the industry during that time". It was a great launch. IGAU was the best selling game for 2 or 3 months running as well. A summer release wouldn't be terrible but this is a proven window for them.

I think the reason there has being no reveal is because of them turning their focus back to MKX after the huge patch they recently released and (still) funding major tournaments.
So my guess is either during or before KiT they will reveal a character to get the ball rolling again.

My guess is this game is coming out in April like every other major NRS game does.

I don't know, I feel the art direction on the characters would improve if NRS went for a more DCAU inspired look rather than realistic.
Cartoon Raven would look hella weird in NRS' art style.
I think Rebirth is a nice compromise, since it takes elements from both Comic Raven and Cartoon Raven, but with out going full kawaii ugu. It's also what she currently looks like in the comics, except NRS added weird elbow spikes because of course they did.
If that design actually translates to the console version I would be completely happy with her.
But it's NRS so she is probably going to have a bunch of armor and spikes and a weird uncanny valley face of Tara Strong as interpreted through a pile of playdough.

I hope they fix the faces, supergirl looks good in the intro banter with Deadshot but all the other close ups to her face doesn't look nearly as good.
And maybe is because I've been playing KOFXIV non stop for a while now, but the combat looks somewhat stiff.

Wow, what an improvement.
Yup, it's a definite improvement.
Crying that she probably won't be in I2 and I'll never see a skin like this in-game.
Her I1 model was so fucking bad, good God.
I'm pretty sure they were trying to go for something closer to George Perez's more witch-like Raven with the cheekbones and everything, but that along with NRS being awful at designing faces already was not a good combination.

Finally, some new stuff.

Holy shit at that improvement. My Chucky joke is finally gone. Lol
Give me more vids!!
Give me more vids!!
So the drought is over? Yay! Also nice, early X-Mas gift, that trailer.
Some things of note:
-Obviously, new Supergirl Face. Also First Look at one of her Gear Sets or maybe a redesign? Weird that they didnt show the costume she wore in the earlier videos.
-Deadshot Alt Color shown off? Maybe a recolor, his head is no longer red, but white.
-Blue Beetle seems to have gotten an improvement as well:

Really surprised to see this pop up today. I guess they put it out before the end of the year so that people even know that this game still exists.
No new reveal but i take everything. Really great improvement and nice new default costume.
Kinda gonna miss chubby Supergirl tho haha
But i still hope he still gonna look like Ray Liotta Superman.

Bats new pose would be cool and Superman got overhauled for sure. His costumes and face looked off.

As in "Heathcliff"
Her moveset look like it's going to be fun to play with her. Look like they might work on their pace and restart the reveals sooner than I thought.
I really hope so. It's so awkward.
I wouldn't even mind if they the retooled him completely. I didn't find him much fun. Going by the earlier teasers it's unlikely though.
I probably wouldn't use him regardless. I've had enough Batman in other games.

She's probably the first good female face that NRS has done. Perhaps theres still hope that they changed Batmans fucking idle pose.
At least in this game you can customize him. We know that there are unlockable moves but not how far they'll take it + the gear system so you can change him a bit, maybe making him a character you'll enjoy more than you did in the first game.
But yea, that idle pose definitely needs to be removed. Hell, even just standing there in a non-fighting pose would be better.

I'm hoping I'll be able to turn him into Nightwing or turn Nightwing into him. I want my Dick Grayson Batman.
That would be pretty cool. I would like a Thomas Wayne/Flashpoint version, with Guns of course.

I dream of so much and know they will do essentially nothing.
It'd be unlike them to do that.
Pretty sure Boon already semi-confirmed Power Girl and Reverse-Flash gear.
Irishmantis
Member
Yeah I think Boon said with the customisation options you can turn SuoerGirl into Power Girl
Yup, he said they're most likely part of the Colors, just cosmetic and not Gear.
A Green Lantern is definitely going to be in, the question is just who they'll go with. I feel like you can't have a DC game without WW, Superman, Bats, Flash and Lantern.
Also the Lantern character better have the Ring-Grab move from the first game.
I would say Swamp Thing also has really good chances, Black Manta i can see being a DLC character.

I dunno, that seems like too many Lanterns to me
I feel like we wont see Sinestro again

He's alive at the end of the first game and probably ended up in prison like Superman.
Kyle sadly was murdered by Sinestro in the comics. Was ripped limb from limb while choking in space after having his ring taken by him. John got stabbed by Sinestro and Guy got murdered by Hal after he went Yellow. Not many Lanterns left to use aside from as skins/gear. A newly made GL, the first after all the others died or changed rings would make for a good sidestory.
