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

I can. Sony does seem to have some sort of deal going on with WB sometimes, a "strategic/unprecedented" partnership of sorts.

But seriously though, a reason I can think of is if the Xbox One is harder to port to than the ps4 (as some reports have comments have made it seem like) then it's possible they couldn't get it out on time and are working on the xbox one version, or deemed it not worth the extra effort at all.. Of course, just speculation.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good thing I will have a PS4 then.

 

[boinx]

360/PS3 were a given. Sony probably paid for the development of the Vita/PS4 versions. Kinda like how they got BL2 ported to Vita.

 

[Bumhead]

Oh wait, is this all of a sudden a PS4 launch game?

That changes my launch day plans a bit of true.

 

[michaelius]

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

Maybe they are afraid they won't be able to sell enough to reach minimum print quantity Nintendo requires.

 

[Radec]

Maybe they are afraid they won't be able to sell enough to reach minimum print quantity Nintendo requires.

Like W101 minimum?

If so, then that would be a cake walk.

 

[Squire]

Yeah, same here.

 

[Sorta Maximus]

I was going for the PS3 version, but now it's PS4!!

And don't you guys ever feel like "why buy anything until the GOTYE comes?" They come with so much more like the Batmans, Uncharteds, Red Dead, ETC.

 

[Cryoflar3]

Might have to pick this up with my PS4 then.

 

[Redshirt]

And don't you guys every feel like why buy anything until the GOTYE comes? They come with so much more like the Batmans, Uncharteds, Red Dead, ETC.

Yes, for games that are predominantly single-player I do. Since fighting games are primarily party games for me, I'd rather wait for the complete edition.

But then I miss out on playing the game. I fall behind in strats so that when I hop online and run into somebody who has been playing it since release, I get bodied, and then I come on GAF and bitch about how fighting games are too hard to get in to.

 

[Prince Vultan]

I get the feeling Sony might have had a hand in getting the PS4/Vita versions off the ground, which would explain why there's no Xbone version AND why High Voltage are involved with the PS4 version(Their rep is probably in tatters after ZOE HD, so Sony likely got them to do it for cheap. They like their cheap HD port devs as we've seen on Ratchet FFA and Jak and Daxter Vita versions), this won't end well I fear.

Armature doing the Vita version is a pleasant surprise though. I have high hopes for that one at least.

Just so I'm clear, NetherRealm did the Vita port of MK9 themselves, didn't they? Porting being outsourced rather than in-house this time makes the above theory a bit more plausible imo if so.

 

[Mr. West]

Cool. I didn't play this yet so I'm down to pick it up on PS4 at launch.

 

[Bumhead]

Yeah, same here.

Currently got Killzone Shadowfall and FIFA 14 on lockdown. I was considering Battlefield 4, but with already having an FPS I might go for the fighting game option and get this instead.

Or maybe just splurge on the lot, who knows.

Nice addition to the PS4 library though.

 

[Degen]

Knew it. Time to buy.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Knew it. Time to buy.

I bet you pick Doomsday.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Getting the Vita version for sure. Looks great.

 

[Degen]

I need dem #grapplers

 

[daffy]

MS's fisical year.

/dead

 

[vg260]

Everything unlocked in the Ultimate versions. Thank god!

 

[Beast Legacy]

I need dem #grapplers

Bane or Grundy then. And uh...Shazam maybe? Does he count?

Doomsday isn't really a grappler.

How hard could it be to go from ps3 to ps4? Going from ps3 to the less powerful vita on Jak is a challenge, but the ps4 is more powerful.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

Glad that I waited. Will most likely pick it up on both PS4 and PC at launch.

Still waiting for Power Girl though!

 

[Prince Vultan]

How hard could it be to go from ps3 to ps4? Going from ps3 to the less powerful vita on Jak is a challenge, but the ps4 is more powerful.

Probably not that hard relatively speaking, but High Voltage are very bad at this, so I'm just accounting for that.

 

[Stabby McSter]

I want the Vita version, although I have the PS3 version.

...I also want the PS4 version because it's the new shiny thing.

 

[MavFan619]

Seeing as I was beginning to get bored with the game but I need a fighter with my PS4 this could be perfect for me.

 

[KingJ2002]

any PS4 screens available?

also... i wouldnt be surprised if this game shows up on xbox one. if it's already rated for the console then it's just a matter of time i suppose.

UPDATE: Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition will not release on Xbox One, Warner Bros. has confirmed to VideoGamer.com.

Clarifying the publisher's release plans this evening, a Warner Bros. representative told us that the game "will only be released for PS4, PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC".

[Terrell]

Maybe they are afraid they won't be able to sell enough to reach minimum print quantity Nintendo requires.

eShop-only release would be preferable to nothing at all.

 

[UNCMark]

There's not much for me to like at the PS4 launch other than Resogun, but this would do the trick. I rented the 360 version and enjoyed it, although it feels slow. I can't wait to see the visual improvements. As for people complaining about MK on Vita, I thought it looked fine, but what made it remarkable was how well it ran and controlled. Hopefully the Vita version of this is similar.

 

[Aru]

I want to buy this game on PC but is the 360 controller good enough to play it?

 

[scitek]

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.

I don't know if you have a capable PC, but I play MK9 with the Wii U Pro controller just fine. You can even remap the buttons.

Man! Are you subscribed to every website out there? Somehow you are mostly the first to bring gaming news to Gaf!

 

[v1lla21]

Will double dip if the ps4 version is a good port. People seem content with High Voltage's job on vanilla Injustice on PC, so I'll reserve my judgement.

Hopefully there's a sort of update from PS3 -> ps4 and I don't have to shell out all that money and instead pay 20-30 bucks.

 

[UNCMark]

I want to buy this game on PC but is the 360 controller good enough to play it?

The one with the improved Dpad worked well for me with this and MK. It's not ideal, but it's also not broken.

 

[kuYuri]

Glad I didn't buy this before cause now I can hop on next-gen or PC version over current-gen version.

 

[dreamfall]

Hmm- I didn't pick it up. Wondering if I should now go PC or PS4!

 

[dark_prinny]

I wish they also ported this to android.

 

[nampad]

I've seen a lot of folks make a big deal of the PS4 not having an exclusive fighting game at at launch to match up with "Killer Instinct" & "The Fighter Within". So it would makes sense for Sony to make a deal to have this as a next-gen exclusive.

"Injustice: Gods Among Us" >>>>>>>>>> "Killer Instinct" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "The Fighter Within". The average person will choose "Injustice: Gods Among Us" over "Killer Instinct".

I am not really making a big deal out of it because I agree that KI doesn't look interesting in my opinion. But having some variety in the launch lineup isn't a bad idea.
Sony also has Guilty Gear Xrd announced for their consoles, only not ready for launch. I haven't played any GG but the graphics alone make this game very interesting.

Oh please, do you think interest in a Vita SKU will be any higher? It's selling even worse than the Wii U in most countries.

I am sure Sony has some moneyhat going on but your argument is flawed.

The last official numbers we got from NIntendo said that the Vita is outselling the Wii U in Europe and Japan. We also know that 3rd party games sell better on Vita than on the Wii U most of the time. And last but not least, there is already a Injustice version on the Wii U that isn't selling.

I can understand why they don't do a Wii U version, even if they already have a running version. EA doesn't do a legacy edition of their sports games, which should be even less work. Their decision regarding the Xbone is another story and doesn't make sense without a moneyhat.

While Sony is cozying up with Warner they should try getting Scribblenauts on the Vita. It would fit their push for younger target audiences with Epic Mickey and Invizimalz.

well then..

 

[Grimsen]

Hm, might pick it up on ps4 when it drops in price, if it's a significant improvement in graphics and performance. I already spent quite a bit on the 360 version. (no regrets, the game was well worth it)

Gonna need a compatible stick too. :/

 

[bigboss370]

I wanna see PS4 screens. Preferably video to see how the effects look.

 

[Squire]

http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/injus...imate_edition_heading_to_ps4_at_launch_2.html

So Wii U is out too then.

I wanna see PS4 screens. Preferably video to see how the effects look.

Probably coming at Comic-Con.

 

[MeBecomingI]

This is good. I was thinking about picking this up but I'll wait and grab myself the Vita version, I think.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Sony have paid to delay the Xbone version I bet, like Microsoft with Titanfall. I suppose did need a fighting game at launch, though Tekken is the main PlayStation fighting game.

 

[Slurmer]

I avoided picking this up, because I was waiting on a Vita version, but now it's coming to PS4 too?!

Curses! I think I'll still get the Vita version, although it'd have been awesome if the PS4 version was cross buy with Vita version.

I hope so too. Otherwise I am buying this three times.

 

[Projectjustice]

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.

Money Hat! Sony isnt playing when it comes to PS4. lol

 

[UNCMark]

Sony have paid to delay the Xbone version I bet, like Microsoft with Titanfall. I suppose did need a fighting game at launch, though Tekken is the main PlayStation fighting game.

I doubt it. Why not delay the 360 version too then? It think the people that said Sony probably funded the next gen and vita ports are correct. If Nintendo was offered the chance to do the same for the Wii U version and passed, they're fools. They need all the games they can get.

 

[Some Nobody]

They didn't even wait barely 7 months before coming out with an ultimate edition? Damn, they are really gonna turn consumers away from buying their products on release date with this stuff.

Either way, I'll probably get it on my PS4, I wouldn't mind another game to play on during the launch period.

I'm already turned off. A "$120 value" for the real game is why I sold my copy for $30 and plan not to buy it again until something like this game out. But I thought it'd go for $40, not full price again.

I still wonder if they've got plans to add another 2 characters. They could announce one before the month is out and then come out with the 8th one the same week this game comes out.

But, realistically, six characters is probably all we're getting. Bleh. SO many characters they could've had.

 

[Nokterian]

I wonder if the PC version will have better netcode then MK. That was just horrible and also never fixed.
