Didn't know we had a High Voltage insider in here. You're part of the team porting the game? Please tell us more.

Quote this when the game drops buddy.

 

[TheBanditKing]

I think WB are quite silly not to have a next gen Batman Arkham Origins port for launch. I actually would have been interested in it simply for the graphics upgrade. I also think Konami should have had a next gen port for Castlevania for launch.

This exactly, I would feel much better about next gen if I did not have to spend the first 5 months still playing this gens great games. PS4 would be instantly justifiable if they had Arkham Origins and Castlevania.

That said I want to see some PS4 screens before I get to excited about this port.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

PS4 now has a legit fighter.

 

[Khezu]

This is kind of obvious, but I guess it's nice to confirm it.

Ed Boon ‏@noobde 2h
FYI... the PS3 and Xbox360 versions of INJUSTICE (Ultimate Edition) will be able to play online with their original versions.

 

[BadAss2961]

This is kind of obvious, but I guess it's nice to confirm it.

Yep... All Ultimate Edition is is the original game with all the DLC included.

 

[UNCMark]

PS4 now has a legit fighter.

Yep, right out of the gate. PS4 launch is pretty lackluster to me, but this helps greatly. I held off on the current gen versions, but I'm glad I waited now. Hoping for a good port.

 

[vg260]

Yeah, totally. It's just a token launch game. A cash grab. And that's fine! I'm happy they're putting it out because I actually want it.

And LOL at the idea of Sony being concerned over KI. Games going to be a joke like it was back in the day. I can't believe people are actually taking that seriously.

Have you watched any of the developer videos? Whether or not Sony is concerned you can't knock Double Helix for the effort they seem to be putting into it to make it a legit fighter. Given the source material, they seem to be doing a bang up job so far.

Also, how about some actual screenshots from each system WB? You should have them if it's coming out next month.

 

[deim0s]

How did High Voltage do with the MK9 PC port?

 

[BoosterDuck]

I still want Captain Cold, Swamp Thing and Booster Gold );

 

[PAULINK]

I still want Captain Cold, Swamp Thing and Booster Gold );

Wait for the GOTD port.

I think i'm going to get it for the ps4 when I get one.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Really annoyed, but since my PS4 won't be able to play PS3 discs, i will double dip.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

The vita version for 40 bucks seems a bit steep when I can buy the PS4 version for a few dollars more and just use remote play.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Thought about the Vita vers. but reminded of the so-so port of MK. It's not bad but felt disappointing when compared to how good SFxT port was.

MK looked washed out and optimized for the Vita. Hope Injustice is a good port though.

 

[Some Nobody]

I still want Captain Cold, Swamp Thing and Booster Gold );

This game is missing about two dozen or so really cool characters that should've been on the roster. Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Captain Cold, Lady Shiva, Black Canary, Firestorm (since Killer Frost is there), Static, Power Girl, Atrocitus, Starfire are just a few that came off the top of my head. The list could drag on for quite some time.

If there's a sequel (and there should be), the roster should be twice the size of this one.

 

[PaulExcellent]

So... any new DLC planned for this?

I really wanted Static to join the fray. :/

In Armature we trust, at least it should look good, Mk Vita was just horrible, gameplay was ace tho.

 

[Akainu]

The Main Man does not look good.

 

[shiftplusone]

The Main Man does not look good.

the character models are by far the worst part of this game

especially every female who isnt mohawk killer frost

 

[Kurod]

There's a model of Isis in the game. Netherrealm just need to redo her a bit (okay maybe more than a bit) and give us Dex-Starr as a playable character.

 

[SapientWolf]

Quote this when the game drops buddy.

The PC port of MK9 looked worlds better than the console version, so I'd expect the same from the PS4 port of Injustice. NRS is using some kind of gross AA that blurs all the texture detail. Replace that with proper 8xMSAA and 16xAF and you're cooking with gas.

 

[enzo_gt]

wow ok. looks pretty bad. i was hoping they would atleast up the polycounts or textures, rather than just higher res.

The art in the game is just godawful.

I don't think they had higher poly models from the jump. Sounds like a cheap port to me, so they wouldn't have the porting sutdio(s) make higher poly models. It's on PS4 because they can put it on PS4.

 

[Khezu]

The Main Man does not look good.

He looks too much like Rob Zombie, and he is also smaller then I think he should be, he should be a big body character.

He also has weirdly proportioned hands.

At least he is fun to play, if not a bit derpy after the ridiculous buffs they gave him in the recent patch.

 

[Dice]

How did High Voltage do with the MK9 PC port?

So awesome, except for one thing... When you play in story mode, if you want it to save your progress after a match, you are forced to watch the entire cutscene for the next match before you can exit, and when you resume, you are forced to watch that cutscene again. Making them skippable would be enough of a fix, but it is super annoying as it is.

Anyway, the art on this is kinda shitty, but I'll get it anyway. I'll probably main Hawkgirl or Aquaman because I like offbeat DC characters.

And just remember that instead of any of those characters we got Scorpion.

NRS has gone on record saying they prefer their games roster to hang around 30 characters, the one time they went crazy was MKA, and that was a sort of special occasion.

Injustice 2 will probably have lots of new faces, but they will replace characters instead of just adding on. The current roster has a lot of disposable characters.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

This thing isn't cross-play by any chance or something?

I'm tempted to grab it for Vita but a buddy of mine has it for PS3 so ...

 

[PusherT]

I was really hoping this would be on Wii u. tired of paying money for Xbox live gold wanted to get on the injustice community on wii u. The Miiverse community is active.

 

[Yuripaw]

Kinda surprised this isn't on amazon yet. I've been checking it everyday since it was announced so I could add it to my list of games preordered for my PS4.

...Not really. I mean, fuck Scorpion, Lobo, and Zod, but the rest of the cast is full of fan favorites. (I mean, Lobo's a fave too but I never liked the guy.) If NRS has hang-ups about their character count, then WB needs to hand the series is off to someone else. I'm trying to see some Naruto-level casts. DC has plenty of majors, mid-tier, and then obscure faves to reach about 50, easy.

That's not really the type of game they like to make, and even if it were, the next Injustice game is going to be on next gen hardware, and probably won't play that much like the current Injustice, so it won't be as easy as just adding new characters to the game, they would have to remake a lot of the assets for old characters, and heavily rebalance them for the game mechanics.

These are the characters I feel are disposable, and might not make it into the sequel.
Doomsday, Ares, Black Adam, Zatanna, Hawkgirl, Killer Frost, Raven, Harley Quinn, Sinestro, Grundy, Bane, Lobo, Batgirl, Cyborg, Zod.

Also what is your problem with Zod? He is one of the best characters in the game, really fun to play, unique trait, cool looking specials and combos, easily one of the best designed characters from a gameplay standpoint. Only thing missing is a Superman 2 costume.

Just realized that there's now finally a legit reason to buy a second dualshock 4 at launch.

Preaching to the choir. I took advantage of that deal today. Just holding out hope now that Sony will get the red DS4s to America in time for me to get one for 30 bucks.

$30 bucks? Don't you get it for free if you trade in $30 of games to amazon. I thought that was the deal.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Doomsday, Ares, Black Adam, Zatanna, Hawkgirl, Killer Frost, Raven, Harley Quinn, Sinestro, Grundy, Bane, Lobo, Batgirl, Cyborg, Zod.

Cyborg is a mainline character now though, they are trying to make him about as important as say the Flash... forcing it but they are trying. Black Adam and Harley can stay too. Kinda agree that the others are "disposable" mostly because they tried to fit them in and it did not really work out to coherently. Especially Sinestro. Huge Green Lantern fan personally, but the reached so hard to get a viable explanation on why he was there and still missed the mark lol.

Either way for part 2, they really need to expand the story more if they want more characters. The story was good but like you pointed out, leaving things in that context a lot of characters are not needed. Loosen up the story more and let the character choices flow.

 

[UNCMark]

Well you have to give them the 30 dollars you earned for your trade-in.

 

[USC-fan]

Strange indeed, can't think of any reason to be honest...

Bad logic.

X360 sales do not have any thing to do with xbone sales. I sure they are seeing preorder numbers. A ton of games have only been announce for ps4 and not xbone. I do not know of any that are not paid by MS[ie titanfall] not coming to PS4 but to the xbone.

Its looks like the ps4 is going to be the x360/ps2 of this gen.

It really does. This is the kind of starting momentum that put the 360 on the map.

So it's 1:1 port then. We loathed the cutscene shit, at the least HV could've changed it for the better.

Doomsday, Ares, Hawkgirl, Killer Frost, Raven, Grundy, Bane, Lobo, Cyborg, Zod.

Fixed, cuz I like em.

True.

Can the Vita players cross play or what?

PS4 <> Vita
or PS3 <> Vita
or PS4 <> PS3?
or all 3?

 

[Squire]

There's no cross-play. If you're on PS4 you can stream the game to your Vita for remote play and play online like that, but you're still on PS, so you're either playing someone playing on their TV or streaming the game to Vita themselves. But that's all PS4. There's no cross-play in any version.

Okay ya, I'll admit, Cyborg being on the list is mostly just wishful thinking on my part.
Just hoping in 4 to 6 years when we get Injustice 2, DC is pushing him less.

I think he is the only character NRS have actually admitted to WB telling them to put him into the game.

If you think Zod's cool (he's not, my problem is that he's always been the most boring Superman villain, both from a visual standpoint and from a character standpoint) in terms of fighting ability, then what are you basing disposability on?

And I know Injustice 2 will be on the PS4 when we see it, I'm just saying that from a fan perspective, I don't want the next Street Fighter in terms of "srs fighter". I just want something that's fun and has all my favorite characters. I'm not alone--everyone's roster for the first game was stupidly long.

Why were they pushing him so hard in the first place? Teen Titans Cyborg will always have a place in my heart, but for Injustice I didn't know why he was there.

I disagree with these. Doomsday's the mindless powerhouse monster of DC, he should stick around. Black Adam's become a big hit after Injustice, Shazam is more expendable at this point. Harley's a huge fan favorite. Sinestro is the Green Lantern villain. Bane is another huge favorite, especially after TDKR. Zod is just the cool, anti-Superman. I'd rather get rid of Luthor instead and just have him involved as an NPC in the story/put him in a stage background.

The rest they can cut and expand the roster with different characters. And no more MK characters pls.

 

[Some Nobody]

Because he's a member of the current Justice League. He took Martian Manhunter's place, essentially.

yeah thats not happening. NRS is trying to prove itself to be a competent company that can make a competitive fighting game. Doubling the roster size actually gets in the way of doing that.

I feel like 30-40 characters is the prime number for a 1v1 fighting game. Anymore then there will be a high chance the game will be super broken balance wise or super homogeneous.

 

[Noisepurge]

The Main Man does not look good.

He also has weirdly proportioned hands.

yeah what the hell, the Lobo i remember has MASSIVE arms.

(and they should do Girl Lobo as a skin!)

 

[Valnen]

People sure are giving a lot of significance to a port of a current gen game coming out 8(?) months later.

Considering I don't own it yet, it'll be a great purchase for me.
