I hope Constantine, Swamp Thing, Dr. Fate, and Question get a chance to join the fray this time around. I think all 4 characters could have a fun fighting style in Injustice 2.

I'm really excited about this. Injustice is one of my favourite fighting games of all times and I had so many good memories playing it with Local H Jay and others here.
MK style fighting is a little too study-heavy for me, but I enjoyed the first one as just a knockabout. I always feel like every character requires me to sit down and read a book about it before I can just jump in and play though.

Some gameplay. Looks like you can miss with your super attack but it doesn't go away, you just lose a bar of meter. The ability button is still there, as are the crazy stage transitions. Looks like the equipment that drops at the end of each match is random. Batman, Superman and Aquaman look like they play largely the same. The Clash system is still there. New supers for most of the characters it seems.
Customisation looks pretty cool. You can equip entirely different gear and chose a preferred color palate. Something they equipped on Supergirl changed her eye lasers from Red to Pink. The gear seems to have pretty small bonuses but I am sure with the right combo of items you can do some crazy stuff. The custom Batman they show around 13 mins in is pretty god damn slick.
Im beginning to think there won't be a "complete" edition for this game. Or if there is, it's going to come out way later than I'm patient enough to wait for. Costume DLC wont be a concern since I'll be more interested in phat lewts. MKX had two rounds of character DLC, and Boon says he wants to crank it up for Injustice 2 which makes me think it's going to take forever for a complete edition. I think I'm better off just buying the game at release.
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
I've never got holding off until the "complete" edition. If the game launches with plenty of good characters that's my metric. Content for me is less about complete and more about if it's personally worth it to me for the current asking price.
I would've hated to wait until now to play all the awesome characters in MKX just to get the post launch Dlc characters cheaper
Like if a game launched with barely any characters or not enough content then yeah I would wait, but if it launches with the same amount of characters or content a game would have with no dlc plans then I buy it
I prefer to have all the content available in one shot, before the game itself loses its spot as the game im playing. By the time the MKX characters came out, Id moved on from the game. So i tried each character out and saw their arcade ladder ending and that was it. Not really an issue of trying to be thrifty.

I can understand why Netherrealm wouldn't talk about a complete edition of Injustice 2 because they don't want to hurt the sales of the standard version. However if they plan to do away with new editions I wish they'd come out and say it because they'd be losing out on MY money. At this point I've been trained to wait and it doesn't make much sense to wait for nothing.
i mean obviously if theyre doing more dlc than MKX theyll probably release a complete edition, but itll be at least a year away, and by that time the dlc will probably be on sale anyway for a similar price. I can understand if you want to do your gaming in one big smack and dont want to go back in whenever they release new characters, but youre definitely going to be waiting a long time either way. Personally asking me to wait like that is a test of my willpower that I will always lose.
There was a small bit about this game in the newest GI and Ed Boon said they are adding "More characters via DLC" than ever before. Going off the 8 characters released for MKX that probably means at least 10 DLC guys.
Got an email saying they are adding Suicide Squad to Injustice... but it was for the mobile app. They were straight up ripped from the movie in design, Joker, Harley and Deadshot. Wondering if that means Deadshot or any other Squadies will be in Injustice 2.
I quit playing the mobile app a whole long time ago, but I've been quite impressed with the way they have continued to support it. I know mobile gaming is the way of the future, but I'm still surprised when tie-in games have a longer tail than their console counterparts. For all intents and purposes, Injustice 1 is dead on consoles. But apparently the mobile app is live and thrivin'.

Part of it is that it's free, and it beats making a new game for each new movie.
The mobile game actually has several characters that the console version doesn't.
Off the top of my head I know they've got Darkseid (with 2 different costumes), Static, Reverse Flash (who apparently has a separate moveset from regular Flash), Arkham Knight, and I think maybe one or two others. Plus a bunch of costumes that aren't in the console versions.
Granted, in the mobile game they don't have as many moves (just a light combo, heavy combo, two specials, a super move, and a passive effect).
I don't know if you can use those extra characters as evidence for Injustice 2, as a majority of them were cross-promotions for whatever DC product was coming out at the time. Darkseid and Static are the exceptions though (and Ed Boon did claim that Static came in second on that character poll he did for the first game).
I hope Constantine, Swamp Thing, Dr. Fate, and Question get a chance to join the fray this time around. I think all 4 characters could have a fun fighting style in Injustice 2.
As long as we get Jason Todd/Red Hood instead of Deathstroke, I'll be happy.

There are way too many freeze related people in the DC universe... And even then I think that video is missing 2 or 3.

Is the image too big?
EDIT: Gameplay at 5:00 PM PST on twitch.tv/netherrealm.

Gameplay trailer is out, featuring Grodd and Atrocitus.
Main thing to note, Atroctus fights alongside Dex-Starr the blue rage kitty.
I hope some day they do another MK vs DC. And make it cheesy as fuck.
That said I would love Black Manta, especially if he's designed as an anti-Aquaman in play style

They've been part of the main DC universe since New52. Constantine was also fantastic in the Injustice comic.

Right? But can you hold out? I always say I will and then, well, don't. Heh.
Also, buying MKX on PC has soured me on fighting games (even though it was my own damn fault for doing that). Looking forward to Injustice 2.

As for Injustice, I enjoyed playing through the storyline, but didn't get into the gameplay itself. I'm hoping 2 is better.
