I like my games to look as good as they can. Period. Why settle for less?
No ones asking you to, im merely stating that High Voltage fucked up one of the CRITICAL components of MK9 on PC (which arguably should run like butter online cause PC) in the online mode, go buy it and try to connect to anyone...
So ill say it again, if you get more SHIT netcode and your fine with that and all you care about are "jaggies" and graphics at the netcodes expense as High voltage have proven they are capable of then good luck with that purchase.
lol I like how he just said 'No'
anywho in for the vita version. Outside of character models MK was pretty fantastic on the vita (Fuck Shao Khan btw) so I'm in for this as well. I love fighters on the go and the vita has so far been bloody awesome for it..just need dat Tekken Namco!

There never was a second season pass. This includes all the dlc characters and costumes.

Am very sad there seems to be no Wii U version of this. I already have the game on Wii U, but I was holding off on the DLC in the hopes that I could just pick up the GotY edition with all the DLC included.
Man, it's gonna suck to be primarily a Wii U gamer over the next several years...

Injustice's netcode is ass anyway. So was MK's. I don't care about playing them online.
(I don't care about them at all, actually, but MK9 having ass netcode on PC doesn't mean much to me since it has ass netcode on consoles as well.)
I don't know why I got my hopes up with a Wii U version.
I much would have preferred playing the game on a controller with a competent d-pad, but not if they were skimping on content. I'd like to see Boon try and explain why it's "more difficult than it looks" to get it running on Wii U, especially when all the DLC is out there and the discs are more than capable of 50GB storage.

Not really. You missed out on a LOT of stuff. I'm just glad that they did package all the DLC and stuff together so that folks who waited dont have such a high investment needed to get the full experience out of a purchase now.
Have fun learning matches vs folks who've been playing. You're gonna see some crazy shit now

Not necessarily. Money hats could refer to cases of a company gaining an unfair advantage. Though I haven't come across much unquestionable evidence, the phrase in general has a negative connotation that I would avoid using unless there are clear indicators of it happening.
I'd rather refer to the "good version" of money hats as a development and/or publishing partnership.

PS3 version drops frames in certain super moves and situations. PS4 version will obviously look and perform better.
We'll see how the online works out. PC often gets the shit end of the stick in that regard with developers that aren't known for supporting the platform. The current gen netcode for Injustice isn't the greatest anyway. So i'm not all that worried about the PS4 version.

Folks, I'm pleasantly surprised to see more games being announced for launch when there is just a month to go. Including this game, the current count for PS4 at launch stands at 25!

Haha! They are only ultimate until they aren't. Expect to see a mega hyper-extreme ultimate edition next year!
If it was capcom you would be right lol
I came here to say the same. MS don't want serious competition to their flagship fighting title.
The PS4 doesn't as far as we know.
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.

Pretty hilarious that theres a Vita version and no Wii U/Xbone version. Moneyhats seem likely. No publisher that was right in the head would do that without a good reason.

You would think that, but there sure are a lot of Vita versions of things out there. I get the feeling it's pretty easy to spit out a port for that thing.
Rush2thestart

Perhaps. But Injustice was already on Wii U. They dont even have to port it.

They also have existing sales to help them decide if another release on that platform is worth it.

I remember hearing Mortal Kombat did really well on Vita too

I think Batman will get a next-gen GOTY edition port next year they just want people to double dip. And Castlevania would have been good with the second one due out early next year although they haven't announced a next-gen version of that either.

In for Vita at the minimum.
What will the specific visual improvements be for the PS4 version?
I could care less about resolution if theres no improvements to textures/models/hair/backgrounds/effects. The game is already solid 60FPS.

Don't know about Konami, but may be the WB studio doesn't have next gen expertise yet. They are using Rocksteady's existing engine, may be they can't/don't want to make an overhaul for next gen. The issue could either be technical expertise or license related. I'm just thinking out loud...

The PS Vita has sold over 5 million+ units, so far. The Xbox1 will have been lucky to sell that much by the end of MS's fiscal year.
I have no need for the PS4 version if I get the PC version. I'm not buying cross-platforms on either next-gen console if they're available on PC.
I buy the (typically) cheaper Vita version so I can have a portable version while doing field work.

It doesn't seem like rocket science here- netherrealm studios and it's partners were likely aiming to release the ultimate version of the game by christmas time for 360,wii U, ps3 and vita. After the sales success of the PC version of mortal kombat they also added PC to that port list.
The PS4 version exists I think because warner brothers likely went to sony and said "hey you guys were nice about having a bonus character in mortal kombat on ps3, want to toss some coin in this fancy hat for anything special ? " and sony , seeing that they lacked a fighting game at launch because namco isn't doing anything anytime soon (normally they'd have a tekken game ready) wisely decided to sign a PS4 deal for the game, have it ready for launch day and keep it "nexgen" exclusive for 6 months. Now Sony can compete with with killer instinct in terms of hitting as many genres as possible.
The wii U version either had to be postponed do to this or was perhaps even outright cancelled during development because no one has a wii U and no one bought the wii U version of injustice.

Strange indeed, can't think of any reason to be honest...
Daaaamn. Makes me think he's not happy about this.

I can't imagine a creator wanting to limit the audience for his creation. But sales, budgets, marketing deals and other moneyhat business stuff takes precedence.
After saying "No", his response was also the same about why there's no Wii U version:
Kinda remember a similar tone ans responses when asked about Kratos on PS3 and no Xbox character for Mortal Kombat; back then.

WII U and XB1 are next gen.
Most likely NDA'd not to say that PS4 is the only Next Gen allowed

Finally got a fight stick today and now a PC version of this is coming next month - ohh HELL YEAH!.
Given that Microsoft has a fighting game of their own for launch, Sony getting an (assumably timed) exclusive on the next-gen version of Injustice is pretty smart.
There's also the chance they straight up paid for the PS4 version, as opposed to moneyhatting a pre-planned port. I believe there was a similar deal over Mortal Kombat on Vita.
Edit: and Kratos on MK PS3 of course.
