    Hot damn... Can we just put NRS in charge of the DCCU? Their trailers for Injustice 2 have been better than any of the movies.

    I was highly disappointed that Injustice 1 didn't really capture The Flash's sense of speed and powerset.

    They 100% made up for it here, bravo

    I dont even really like fighting games (Netherrealm has me cos of its focus on campaigns and unlockable content)

    But I am so hyped for this

    I love that at 1:00 in the Flash trailer that dinosaur is like 'HEY! WTF MAN!?'

    The gear stuff looks and sounds great! They show off some shaders too, but still no Power Girl... dammit!

    I love how there's an in-game explanation for why Scarecrow looks all monstrous! Also, his playstyle looks like a mixture of Smoke and Scorpion. Digging that!

    Its kind of fun to think like, hes technically not even fighting them

    I love the contrast of him just being a guy in a labcoat and a shitty rag, to that awesome demon design. Its definitely a fun take and not one I expected, I expected something more like his Arkham knight design

    Scarecrow looks awesome... but doesn't look anything like any version of Scarecrow I've ever seen.

    Flash actually feels and looks like The Flash now though.

    technically the Dr Crane "version" before he uses the fear gas looks very similar to the Batman Begins one, but yeah the demon fear toxin version of him is pretty unique

    a look at his moveset and gear

    Holy shit the gear system in this game is so glorious

    I am on the fence about diving into the game, but Scarecrow is pushing me strongly towards buy. I love some of his custom moves there. He gets a fucking fear gas double reppuken and a deadly bee weapon!

    Is it a little weird to anyone else that the roster is smaller compared to Injustice 1? In MKX it was understandable because every character had three different styles, in this I suppose you could attribute that to the gear system but that strikes me as I don't know, messed up priorities? It just feels like such a shame to cut the roster so hard from 1, there are some characters I will legitimately miss.

  • Local H JayLocal H Jay Registered User regular
    I'm sad but I don't hate it. MKX had lots of new fighters and was a lot more fun to learn. I will miss Nightwing, Martian Manhunter, Batgirl, etc. But I look forward to a lot of the new fighters too.

    I dont know if its a hard cut, its smaller but each character has way more options. More is nice but isnt always best. Its a trade off im ok with personally. I mean it sucks if you have a favourite thats gone, but its the realities of development, you have to make trade offs somewhere especially if youre shooting for quality and balance over quantity

    Well I got my main. Screw the rest of the roster.

    I understand, and if every character is more fleshed out than before than I'll accept it. I suppose it remains to be seen if it was worth it in the long run.

    Yeah I mean we won't know until it comes out, but based on Mk9 with its "pretty much everyone" roster and MkX which was much smaller but with new characters and was awesome, I think it will work out.

    My faves in the first one were Harley, Raven, and Batgirl. I'm a little bummed that I wont be getting two of those three back, but I still get Harley. Also, the loot system is going to make me play every character a lot more than I normally would, so that makes up for a lower count roster.


    I didn't even catch that Scarecrow was Englund. That's so perfectly fitting!

    Have all future DLC characters already been announced? There's a possibility that we could see Batgirl and Raven again in the future. I actually really liked Batgirl a lot. Her drop-down from the sky move was one of my favorites.

    I hope she comes back. She was the perfect foil to gun spam from Deathstroke.

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    Boon already confirmed that none of the characters from the first game would appear as DLC in Injustice 2. Which is probably a smart move, because I could see some kind of manufactured gamer outrage over them "making" you buy characters that were already in the first game popping up on places like reddit.

    Injustice 2s roster isn't smaller than 1s.

    1 started with 24 characters and 2 is starting with either 31 or 32. Which is about where 1 ended up after DLC and that isn't even counting the DLC ones from 2.

    Ivy looks cool gameplay-wise, but I'm not feeling that costume. It's reminding me of that vegetable gremlin from Gremlins 2 for some reason...

    @Local H Jay Did you play Injustice with the normal 360 controller? How does it play?

    There are a serious lack of quality sticks/gamepads on the One compared to the PS4. Probably because of SFV being exclusive.

    Yeah, I used the transforming d-pad version. I ended up breaking the dpads off those playing Injustice and MK. But I do well on pads anyway.

    At least Hori is releasing this: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Officially-Licensed-Microsoft/dp/B01MSEPQ55

    I had the previous version for PC and it was awesome.

    It's pricetag is no joke, but the Razer Atrox is a damn nice stick. The XB1 Hori stick is nice, too.

    NRS is legit making a better movie than anything from the DCCU so far...

    i know precisely nothing about brainiac other than he exists.

    but i would like to know more after that trailer

  • Local H JayLocal H Jay Registered User regular
    Brainiac is such a good Superman villian

    i never really was that into superman (and to be honest DC in general, not really huge on marvel either) but NRS is selling me on it

    Prohass
  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    I don't know a lot about Brainiac, but I think his deal is that he's some advanced AI cyborg guy that wants to catalog everything in the universe. He does so by shrinking civilizations down and keeping them in glass containers or something. At least that's what I can remember from the little bits of stuff I've read in comics.

  • Local H JayLocal H Jay Registered User regular
    He also (in most stories) was an AI made by Kryptonians who turned on them and set in motion the events that destroyed Superman's home planet. He does collect cities... and then destroys the planet afterwards. Also seems hard to really kill, not unlike Ultron. He continually iterates on himself, and always finds some computer bullshit to finagle a new body.

  • LucascraftLucascraft Registered User regular
    Braniac is one of the coolest DC villains. He's got interesting motivations and typically he is a much deeper character than just a mustache twirling mastermind.
