[Possum]

Awesome, glad I waited! So now I've got six full retail games I want at launch...

 

[Skilletor]

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

 

[Bad_Boy]

Vita Screens

thanks kind sir.

 

[SykoTech]

Nice. Will buy. Though I'll wait and see how High Voltage does before deciding on the platform.

PS4 version if they pull through and make a good port. PS3 version if they fail.

 

[UNCMark]

It's not just a port. It's basically a GOTY version with all the DLC etc. And it may not be the best game, or best fighter, but it provides another option in what's an otherwise lackluster launch lineup.

 

[Witchfinder General]

I hope the PC version doesn't have the awfully compressed videos (with matching lousy audio) like with the MK port.

This only works if you think the launch titles of the PS4 and Xbox One are garbage.

 

[SporeCrawler]

I really hope these guys make their own vita game later on

Blackgate is an original game not a port

They are doing the 3ds one too..

Still too bad to see the makers of Metroid Prime being a port studio.

 

[SolidC213]

Any word on Cross Buy for Vita and PS4? Would be awesome if they had a three way for it (Vita, PS3 and 4) but I am happy if they just do it with PS4.

Oh, Forgot him. I'm sad now, I got that Static Shock hype.

 

[Spiegel]

thanks kind sir.

Those are PS4 screens

 

[Brofield]

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.

God I wish I did. My 4 year old laptop has difficulties playing Age of Mythology on Medium settings.

Though I am getting a new lappy soon with a whole slew of bells and whistles, so maybe this might be my chance to jump into PC gaming.

 

[Raytow]

Bat tasers... seriously Bruce?

 

[SapientWolf]

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

It's going to have the same netcode as the other versions, I imagine.

 

[FINALBOSS]

Nobody gains from console exclusivity.

He was talking about indie games, smartass.

 

[Skilletor]

It's not just a port. It's basically a GOTY version with all the DLC etc. And it may not be the best game, or best fighter, but it provides another option in what's an otherwise lackluster launch lineup.

It's still a port. /shrug

I mean, if exclusive games are the reason a launch lineup might be lacking, then this isn't adding anything new to the mix. It's still a game you can get on (almost) every other platform.

I personally think both launch lineups look pretty good if we're just talking about games available.

This only works if you think the launch titles of the PS4 and Xbox One are garbage.

Wut?

Killzone is Sony's Halo basically, it'll sell 3 million copies over the life of the title pretty easily, more than likely hitting 4 million.

Driveclub is shaping up to be for the PS4 what PGR was for the 360, I expect it to sell at least as well as Forza 5 does on the XB1.

Knack could end up being a sleeper hit, especially as an original IP that will appeal to the family.

Resogun is coming from the group that made Super Stardust HD, which sold more than 400,000 copies on the PS3 as just a downloadable. I think it's going to do really well for Housemarque.

Between Sony's 1st party offerings and 3rd party titles like AC4, Watchdogs, BF4, and Ghosts, not to mention the 3-4 big F2P titles coming out on launch day, the "lackluster launch lineup" story ranks right up there with "no games on the Vita" when it's clearly not true.

 

[Bad_Boy]

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

Though I think you are right, I also think UNCMark is making a personal statement of preference here. It's lackluster for him/her. That's ok right?

 

[Anticitizen One]

Will the PS4 version look as good/better than the PC version??

Not sure if anyone noticed but Sony is really just emulating the launch of the 360 since that was a very succesful launch. Not only is it coming in cheaper than the competitor at $399 but it has a similar launch lineup:

Killzone Shadow Fall = Perfect Dark Zero
Knack = Kameo
Drive Club = PGR 3
COD Ghosts = COD 2
Resogun = Geometry Wars

That's also basically the PS3 launch lineup. Shooter, racer, big third party game, downloadable.
(Resistance, MotorStorm, CoD 3, Super Stardust)

 

[satam55]

Because a lot of folks haven't played it yet. So this gets a lot of interest as a launch title.

 

[jakomocha]

I know the Brazillian rating boards included a Wii U version but apparently Ed Boon denied it on Twitter. What a disappointment, as those of us who own the game on the Wii U still haven't received the final two DLC packs.

 

[Guymelef]

The sad thing is PS4 getting a fighter game the day of console release and no arcade sticks announcements yet...

 

[Madrugador]

Can't wait for the PC version, great news.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Motorstorm and Super Stardust weren't launch titles. Also, COD 3 wasn't anywhere near as high profile as COD 2 was because it wasn't made by the primary studio (infinity ward). Have people really forgotten how abysmal the ps3 launch was? It was really just Resistance and then a handful of really shitty tier 3 games and bad ports.

His profile says he's in the UK, where Motorstorm was a launch title.

 

[Skilletor]

I completely understand that. My point is just that all these conspiracy theories and comparisons to Titanfall lend this late port a significance it doesn't really deserve. It's a good game, and it rounds out the launch really well (seriously, not having fighters at launch is so weird).

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I really hope these guys make their own vita game later on

They most likely will have similar fate as Bluepoint games. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

 

[Vibranium]

I held off playing MK because the online is messed up (and yes, I'm cheap when it comes to fighting games hehe), if Injustice seems to be more successful on PC that would be awesome.

 

[vg260]

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

I don't think anyone would have expected upped poly counts, but that pic kinda looks like an upscaled 720p shot.

I'm a bit nervous about this PS4 port.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

As soon as it's available to pre-order on Amazon, I'm in for the Vita version.

 

[Tanner1495]

Will probably buy this once a decent Fightstick is available for the PS4

 

[PhantomZone]

Will be buying the pc version for sure!

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Will probably buy this once a decent Fightstick is available for the PS4

I'm waiting for Vita TV so I can hopefully do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFzVFB6lI8o

 

[HardRojo]

The only problem with this announcement is that now I don't know what platform to pick this game up for :/ I might end up double dipping on PS3 and Vita (heck, I might triple dip with the PS4 version).

 

[VanWinkle]

The Vita version is sub-native resolution just like MK unfortunately. That is disappointing. However, if the character models aren't N64-level like MK, it should still be okay. We just have to hear about those character models.

 

[ShadyJ]

I said this 2 pages back...

You will be sorely mistaken if this runs or looks any better than current gen injustice.. its just a bloody port and alot of people are giving it alot of credence just because its on a PS4.. it will be a direct copy paste for that architecture.. nothing more.

 

[Brad Grenz]

So, between this and Diablo 3 never getting announced for Xbox One, are we assuming MS just has a policy not to allow late, cross-gen ports on the system?

It will look better because it will be in higher resolution. Doesn't the ps3 version have framedrops on certain stages? I'm sure this will run better as well.

 

[Hours Left]

Glad I waited.

I doubt it. Tomb Raider was heavily rumoured to get a port to One, although whether that was canned in SE's shakeup, I don't know.

 

[branny]

Excited for the Vita version and probably gonna get the PS4 one, too, eventually.

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

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.

It's unfortunate and makes me a sad panda. Hope something pops up soon.
