I think he will be a lot of fun with gear abilities but without, I'm not so sure . Best moves are always locked behind gear.

 

[pock3tmonster]

Injustice 1 had 13 stages, 2 reskin stages, and 25 arenas overall.
Injustice 2 has 12 stages, 0 reskin stages, and 20-21 arenas overall.

Not great.

We don't know yet if there are reskinned stages, there's no conclusive evidence. There's also the possibility, however small, that we might see additional stages via DLC.

 

[Salty Rice]

Fortress of Solitude stage has no transitions it seems. Bummer. It's the least intersting one, imo.

Looks like the last stage is indeed Joker related since they still dont show it.

I hope he gets a Deathstorm premier skin.

 

[pock3tmonster]

A Deathstorm Premier Skin would make Firestorm so much more interesting for me.

Did someone say the arcade endings are actually cutscenes now and or am I imagining things?

I haven't seen that posted? Endings are mentioned in the Battle Simulator achievement, but there is no other context provided. It'd be great to see pre-rendered or in-engine cutscenes. I don't think the first game's motion comic style endings would emphasis the higher production values of the second game.

 

[HelloNewman]

The arcade endings are motion comics I'm pretty sure they've shown some of them already. I think they are the motion comics they've shown anyway. An example is the Grodd mind controlling Green Arrow.

 

[bubumiao]

About those loot boxes, do you get all the loot inside or just get to pick one item? I couldn't tell by that video.

 

[pock3tmonster]

About those loot boxes, do you get all the loot inside or just get to pick one item? I couldn't tell by that video.

I'd assume you receive everything. I can't think of a single game, featuring loot crates, that makes you choose a single item. There's no reason to expect Injustice 2 is going to buck that trend.

 

[False Witness]

I don't mind the motion comics, but the art needs to be more in line with how it was in IJ1 and MK9. They looked pretty bad in MKX and X's arcade endings in general were lame.

 

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Fate's arcade ladder ending has been leaked and is in the same style as IJ and MKX endings.

I don't want to go looking for the ending, but does the video you've seen confirm whether or not Battle Simulator is Arcade Mode?

Holy shit, already?! Lol.
I actually wouldn't mind seeing his ladder ending... got a map? .

Then again I don't want to risk it being ruined for everyone else if they just go clicking on things haha.

I'll pm you a link.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Nah the actual arcade ending (like in I1 when Superman is sucked into the Phantom Zone) is boss as fuck. So good.

Quality over quantity

On the Cage subject it be hilarious if his gear was Cosplaying as MK chars.

It makes sense too with him being an actor

 

[Irishmantis]

Nevermind I seen it

OK. This is the perfect solution.

I will be mad if it's anything but this.

 

[Salty Rice]

Just saw one of the Arcade endings and its most likely just cameos but damn hope this means there is hope for that character as DLC.

 

[sinkfla87]

I'll pm you a link.

Thanks Newman! Gonna check it out when I get home. 3 more weeks... The wait is killing me.
And yes, Cage with MK cosplay. PLEASE

 

[BstnRich]

We said the same thing about Arkham Knight. It's totally him.



Depends on the batgirl

Why do I have a feeling it's not Babs that everyone likes?

 

[GringoSuave89]

Why do I have a feeling it's not Babs that everyone likes?

Babs is great, but since we're never getting Batgirl, why not shoot for the moon? I want her to be Steph.

 

[Khezu]

Babs sucks as Batgirl and is only good as Oracle.

Steph is the only acceptable Batgirl.

 

[Irishmantis]

OK. This is the perfect solution.

lol he's such a goof he would get away as cosplaying as the likes of Kitana

hmm, dunno what to think, but I got tired of IJ1 stages pretty quick, they were mostly Bat centric and the ones that weren't were some boring locales.

They really should have Oa and Ysmault.

 

[Tyaren]

Is it so uncommon for NR Studios games to not get additional stages as DLC, free or paid for? In other fighting games it's the norm by now.

MK9 and Injustice didn't have any that i can remember, but MKX did.

 

[Khezu]

They talked about it being on the table for Injustice 1, but decided not to do it.

When they are done with a game, they are done.

 

[pock3tmonster]

Can you please PM me the names of the cameos?

 

[Tyaren]

Then the chances a good Injustice 2 will too.

Times have changed though. Today it the usual approach for any fighting game to receive DLC characters, stages and costumes for some time, often years.

Please let it be Nightwing! Is it him?

The stages developed by NRS are far more dynamic and interactive than those featured in other games, however.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

What are the chances for a Joker map?

Maybe his hideout or a theme park?

Pretty high since they show all stages with the exception of one most likely because they didnt reveal Joker yet.

You mean Cassandra.

Name doesn't ring a bell sorry.

 

[RedHill]

Name doesn't ring a bell sorry.

I am disgusted and offended

Yeah, that's why I'm not too confident we'll get more, especially free ones. The KI devs had talked about how expensive it was to make a stage (more than a character) and it sounds like a lot of work, and theirs didn't even require all the interactability. I think the effort it takes to make a stage in 3D games now is very much underestimated.

 

[pock3tmonster]

Cassandra and Steph are just pretenders. Babs is the one and only true Batgirl.

 

[kingofthedead45]

Finally green arrow stuff. Oh boy I can not wait to give him a go.

I especially agree with this sentiment. The costs and work involved in the development of stages with Injustice's level of interactivity just don't translate well to DLC.

Same here. Him and Ares (rip) were my favorite characters in 1.

The changes to Green Arrow's move set, including the addition of a teleport and ice tipped arrows should give him greater utility. I'm excited for the boxing glove arrow, hopefully it has added stun or knock back.

I still hope that the boxing glove arrow grants a wall bounce kind of like B3. I think it would be absolutely hilarious to see haha.

Oh come on. Everything we've seen is miles better than injustice. Character models, gear, stage quality, supers... who cares if there are a few fewer maps.

 

[pock3tmonster]

Haha. That would be great! I can see that happening. It'd sure take more than a few people by surprise.
