TYM's Injustice 2 at E3 2016 Thread

[CRKFIEND]

You do realize your getting a full story mode, new system updates, likely frame tweaking/move changes, as well as new characters right? Not to mention 1000+ gear and modes everywhere according to NRS.

MOST fighting games reuse their previous games movesets and build on them like this. Guilty Gear, Blaz Blue, Tekken, Street Fighter...list goes on and on.

I do realize. Why do you defend bad practices?

I think I finally understand where Ed and the NRS team are taking this game with their game system.
From what I can tell, Injustice 2 expands on the original variation system in MKX/MKXL; but rather instead of setting you with a certain set of variations, you create your own.
It seems like Maximillian was right, as the certain gear pieces you add onto your character gives you select special moves added onto a base character; as Ed explained "We only give you the base character, and its up to you to upgrade them as you please." I was a bit skeptical thinking it was all statistical-things like an RPG, but it seems to be variation-esque upgrades to your base character; and rather than having a set variation, you create your own.

Okay, fair enough to not like the game (which you could do without bashing it), but this is only the 2nd game in the franchise. MK1 is not much different from MK2. Or MK2 to MK3. If you want Injustice but different, might have to wait for Injustice X to drop in 20 years or so.

Wat?

 

[trufenix]

i'm pretty sure many other fighters cut and paste moves/animations.

literally all of them, Tekken 7 is still rocking a couple super jank animations (looking at you, Mishimas) since T1.

F23 lives!

Wow - I kind of shocked at the PUSH back and negative response Injustice 2 has received over the reused animations and combos. It's not just here but various message boards and forums. To me it looks really good but then again my 1st NRS game was MKX and i never played Injustice 1.

What pisses me off is that pretty much EVERY other fucking popular fighting game does the EXACT same thing and no one complains, but when NRS does it everyone looses their shit

 

[Error404]

If you're complaining about returning movesets you're a scrub. Period no questions asked.

It's not laziness, it's smart af.

No it isn't. How exactly is learning a new game from scratch lazy? Exactly the reason I don't want to get into Tekken. Never got into Tekken because the games are mostly identical to each other and I'm just going to get my ass beaten by people who were good at Tekken 5 like 8 years ago. The only good thing about keeping the exact move sets from the old game is that they can spend most of their resources on new characters. In fact I assume this game will probably have ~40 characters because of this.

So the site that thinks MK9 was a godseend. And basically wants everything to be like mk9. Or mk9.5 is bashing nrs for trying something "new" and reusing attacks/animations. When they wanted mkx to be the exact same as mk9...What the?

 

[MsMiharo]

Not sure if people realise this but MKX has a lot of moves from MK9. Shocking, I know.

Keep in mind most of the people talking shit now will eventually buy the game anyway.

NRS has one of the loudest most whiniest fanbases alive and yet still each other their games has sold more than the last since like, mk4.

Trust me, if they shaved a couple frames off Kabal's NDC every other problem in MK9 would've disappeared too. It was basically a perfect game.

 

[Invincibeast]

I just hope theres a multiplayer option, online and offline, to get rid of all the gears so we can play with consistent characters

Trust me i know. But the same can be said about injustice. Remember every game is just "one patch away from being perfect"

 

[zerosebaz]

Not sure if people realise this but MKX has a lot of moves from MK9. Shocking, I know.

To be fair, there are only a few, and both the animations, and their overall properties are different.

 

[buyacushun]

In injustice 1 if you held straight down it would actually croutch block in both directions for you, so if you actually want to cross someone up it had to be an overhead attack. If the teleport is a high, mid, or low, then you dont have to worry about it crossing up

Yeah but then combine that with trying to move and space things out with an opponent who does the same. It wasn't just the teleport that made scorpion annoying. It was that plus everything else he could be doing. Either way I personally don't like have to always be on edge of my opponent might do a punishable move and my only defense is to just duck down in time.

And removed meter drain + input bug, fixed resets, Kenshi... >.>

Love the game, though.

 

[Protagonist_1]

LEGACY!?!?! YESSS!!! Can't express how excited I am to see this, just makes balancing much more easier and its what every other fighting game in existence has been doing.

 

[SaltShaker]

I'm reading a lot " This is a smart move because NRS is super incompetent"

" They can't be burden with making a new game because they will fuck it up, so maybe they won't this time?"

People with such little faith in the developers really defend their games so hard lol

Lmao! Damn Ricans. That one hit me right in the feels lol.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

They better have new moves or fear gives then new moves, if not then they are not getting money from this casual.

Before you all hate me and remind me how every other fighters use same moves and all that shit.

I don't buy those games.

not mortal kombat lol

 

[The Farmer]

Kevin Conroy. So happy

 

[Reeky Jones]

Im thinking of it this way. If the characters do indeed have "copy/pasted" movesets, then chances are a lot of the IGAU characters will return right?

 

[xWildx]

I reeeeeeeeally need more info on this whole "customization" thing. Like what can we expect from the base character, exactly how much will the upgrades effect our character?

Add in what sounds like a "loot drop" system, and if person A has unlocked some powerful ability that person B doesn't have access to yet.... sounds like a breeding ground for frustration. I'd also like to know how they're going about balancing for tournament play. Given the way Boon likes to give the most open-ended answers ever though, we may be waiting a while for any concrete information. -_-

 

[Rathalos]

Here are some less gross Superman costumes.
Still not perfect, but I'll take anything over what was shown in the very first gameplay trailer.

Anyone else think he looks like Ray Liota?

 

[dittO]

Reused animations/moves for someone that really liked the 1st Injustice game can only be a good thing.
Obviously the stuff that matters (ie: frames/hitboxes) will be different.
Hell gimme Sinestro as he was in IGAU and I'm GO!!!

They don't have to change everything, they only need to make this a better game than it was.
More reused animations means less work in these sections meaning more time for them to work on more characters
