The Thread of Injustice

[Juan1193]

Im looking forward to part 3!! That trailer will surely showcase the Society right?

On a side note, the Regime seems lacking in membership. Hopefully other members from the first game show up!

Or the Regime and the Insurgency squash their beef. The Society rises from the ashes. And they all temporarily team-up to stop Brainiac. You can't have Brainiac vs the JL without Superman stepping in to **** him up.

I never thought the day would come where I'd be sick of seeing Batman and Superman duke it out. Man, maybe it's just that I still enjoy the first game and can't see any real reason to buy this one.

Injustice 2 Hands-On: New Moves & New Clothes Help Personalize A Fighter. March 9, 2017 . 4:00pm

Injustice 2 builds onto the base of the original, offering classic moves, all-new attacks, and a new system of unlocking character-changing gear and moves.

4 comments Read >

Injustice 2will have players doling out pain in new and familiar ways, judging from the build that was available at GDC. From the suite of moves from Injustice: Gods Among Us that past players will know well, to the all-new ways players can use laser vision to blast an opponent to the earth from the sun or summon sinister-looking red cats to scratch eyes out, Injustice 2 should have new and old fans excited to beat each other up.
​

The demo build offered a taste of the game’s new storyline, casting players as Batman in a handful of fights against Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and a surprise opponent. Clashing within the walls at Arkham, players were able to re-familiarize themselves with Batman’s moveset, which would seem immediately familiar to those who played the original.

Those same moves look tighter and flashier, featuring a bulkier Batman striking with a sense of real weight and power. Not that previous games didn’t offer this, but each moves seems to strike just that much harder, hitting with screen-freezing power or making a satisfying thump with each blow. Batman’s new super move makes an appearance here as well, making use of the Batplane to spectacular effect.


The story, which features a rogue Superman being somewhat upset at the Joker’s actions from the previous game, has the hero striking down the monstrous villains at the asylum, finally tired of giving them second chances. Batman, not wanting the heroes to sink to their level, must battle against his former allies to stop them. It culminates with a cliffhanger ending, one that will draw players deeper into what looks like a satisfying story of betrayal.

After these matches, players were able to try out eight characters in free matches. Having already played with familiar characters, Atrocitus was rolled out to try out his moveset. Fiery breath could hit opponents at close range, a quick charging juggle could catch them with a combo from a few steps away, or he could call up a tornado of blood under his opponent to lift them up, putting them in range for nastier moves. He could also summon a feline companion to stun and stagger his enemy, leaving them open for a dimension-swapping super move.
​

Supergirl was brought out for the second and final match. Her laser vision offered a quick burst for enemies who stayed at range (or could be fired in a sustained blast), and her flying uppercut could surprise an opponent leaping into, or standing inside, close range. If enemies are blocking from the front, she can also teleport in behind them, clobbering them with a sucker punch. Icy breath rounded out her moves, creating slipping hazards for foes that would tie them up long enough for Supergirl’s super move, which involves comets, laser beams, and a trip around the sun.

Both of these matches dropped experience, currency, and gear for certain fighters. Each piece of gear is designed for a certain fighter, changing their look to certain iconic appearances from DC Comics history, as well as offering stat boosts to help create the fighter the player chooses. Fights will typically win gear for the character the player is using, although the game will sometimes give gear for other characters as well.


Gear could also be bought using the in-game currency the player gained, if the player wished to acquire more. The developers also wanted to note that this currency can only be unlocked in game, avoiding a ‘pay to win’ model.

While changing up gear to create a new character with a different look could be interesting, fights also had a chance of dropping new moves for each fighter. From regular attacks to whole new super moves, players could earn entirely different attacks to equip to their fighter, creating a sense of unpredictability for online matches. It would also give the player access to even more spectacular attacks.


While the demo did not offer much opportunity to play around with the new unlockable gear and moves, it did show a solid fighter that builds on the original. Injustice 2’s new fighters show fun, flexible movesets, as well as an array of brand new ways to really devastate opponents. Adding the already-strong gameplay onto a system of customizability, in looks and actions, makes Injustice 2 look like a solid, potentially surprising, fighter to watch out for.

Any chance this could turn into a Superman redemption story, if that's even possible anymore? Best I can think of is borderline antihero or something.

 

[godisawesome]

I'm thinking the may be holding back on some more story details still. We didn't know that there were two dimensions in the first game until the final story trailer, and you *can* interpret some of the doubled up quotes as implying that we may have some more dimension hopping shenanigans in store.

Firestorm revealed

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Skip to 5:30 and 7:40[/FONT]

Firestorm actually looks kind of cool.

but why couldn't it have been Starfire instead??

 

[BlueLanternKal]

They went with the Jason Rusch version too. Welp, that's all folks... the combined genius of Jason and Professor Stein makes Firestorm the smarest mutha****a in the Injustice universe.

I think Starfire and Red Hood are a given at this point.

 

[X Knight]

I hope Starfire and Red Hood make it in the base roster.

these more obscure, lesser known characters are nice. but they've got to include some popular, often requested characters, too......lol.

 

[Mister J]

Wasn't expecting that, but then again, I have little recollection what was on the leaked roster at this point (which apparently Firestorm was).

Still holding out for Etrigan.

 

[X Knight]

^ at this point, it's looking very evident that the leak is real.

So, like me wanting Raven, I don't think you should get your hopes up for Etrigan, as I don't recall him being on the list.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Well the leak didnt include possible dlc options so theres that still

 

[X Knight]

yeah, we'll have to hold out hope for DLC.

 

[KevanG]

I'm not sure if it's my experiences with MK vs DC or just that I prefer MK to having DC characters fight but I just can't get excited for this series.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Firestorm looks neat, but they really could've been more creative with his moveset. He can manipulate matter down to molecular level and basically do alchemy. Get a little more creative than fire, energy beams, and volcanoes!

Well the leak didnt include possible dlc options so theres that still

The only thing the leaker mentioned regarding DLC is seeing Black Manta concept art that wasn't similar to the stage transition. So there's some hope.

 

[Juan1193]

Firestorm is a great addition!! I'm so hyped for this game!! I think there's only 4 characters left to reveal that were on that leaked list, one of which is speculated to be a skin. I'm hoping for a few surprises that weren't on that list!

 

[zeptron]

yeah, we'll have to hold out hope for DLC.

And hopefully this time they won't go overboard with the guests.

I'd be surprised if DC would even allow them to put in more than two characters that aren't theirs.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

I'd be surprised if DC would even allow them to put in more than two characters that aren't theirs.

I'm down for 3: MK character (because there's no say in it), Spawn, and Hellboy.

I think we're getting Vixen and Beastboy as DLC for sure. Hopefully we get John Constantine, Entrigan, Deadman (Dick Grayson), Atom, and maybe a Lantern Corps (all the Corps) expansion with a bonus story mode if NR plans on supporting this for more than a year. And of course, that Red Hood and Starfire are in the base rather than DLC.

 

[Mad Ones]

Firestorm is so fun in Justice League Action, I'm not surprised he's on the roster. Will he get an actual reveal trailer?

 

[zeptron]

And of course, that Red Hood and Starfire are in the base rather than DLC.

Unless a current screenshot of the character select screen gets shown and it shows more than 28 spots, I doubt those two will be in the base roster and all that's left to reveal before any DLC is Joker, Scarecrow and Black Adam.

 

[Juan1193]

Lol the YouTube comments section is basically a race war. The White Firestorm fans going at it with the Black Firestorm fans xD There's like 4 or 5 different Firestorm's so it doesn't matter which one they added in (Ronnie, Jason, Jax, Martin or Madison).

What's funny is that a lot of these people were never Firestorm fans before today. All of a sudden Ronnie Raymond is their favorite character and Jax is just the "CW version". If they knew anything about the character they'd know that this version is the Jason Rusch version LOL.

 

[zeptron]

TBH, I haven't watched any of the live action DC shows and the only time I've ever seen Firestorm outside the comics was in the old Superfriends cartoon.

I do think that the people that wanted diversity so badly are happy that Cyborg isn't the only AA in the game now.

Hell, they could've added Mr. Terrific and had him fighting with his silver balls.
