Captain Cold might make more sense, since Batman's tangling with Solomon Grundy and Superman has Lex Luthor. Always nice to remember there's more to the DC Universe than Batman characters.

EXACTLY THIS!!!! How dare they try to expand their company, us MK fans will never move on from MK9, just give us 4 DLC characters every year for the next 10 years so we can play the same game and never get over it!!

Expanding their company is not the same thing as diverting their attention away from MK. I'd assume expanding means you hire more people to do the work while you still focus on MK. OH WAIT MAYBE THAT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE FOR IT TO BE PRACTICAL. This silly little game better be a punching bag game to test out features for the new MK.

you're bashing on NRS for trying out something new? Jesus.

I love MK as much as anybody on this site. But this is great opportunity , in my opinion, to expand their company with some DC (Strictly) Based games.

Don't be ignorant about the situation. Be glad that NRS is actually working on something, rather than not working on anything at all.

Yes, quite ignorant. Who says they are forgetting MK? Making 1 game independent from MK and now they have abandoned the series? That is crazy talk. You even said they could try a new license, but why? That would still mean forgetting about MK.

Current generation do not "deserve" another MK game, especially if new consoles are coming in late 2013 / early 2014. Sure, I would like to see and update or patch for MK9 too, but a whole new game is not necessary.

It is possible, even plausible, that most of the MK9 team is working on Injustice and there is a select group working on a next-gen MK. There have been rumors of development kits or specs being in the hands of developers. Working with MK9 as a base would mean that the Injustice's infrastructure is set and less of the team is needed.

A simple search in google shows that NRS is looking / has expanded. Making Injustice, while hiring more to begin the build of MK10. This is good stuff.

Plus it seems they are trying some wild gameplay concepts with the environment. Better they do that with the DC franchise then ruin the next MK because they think it might be cool.

Can't say that I'm happy for this. DC fans will be pleased.
But everything else about this is a no go for me.

They're still trying to tinker with Environmental Interaction bullshit gimmicks.
I JUST WANT TO FIGHT.
I read that Wonder Woman and Harley is in it. So I was excited at first, and then I saw what they look like.

Wonder Woman has on the costume that NOBODY LIKES. No original? No version with the warrior skirt thingy? Really?

Harley Quinn, WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE WEARING?! They didn't even TRY.
I understand not making her look like the Arkham Asylum/City version, but what the hell is this?! Did she shop at the "Mileena Store"?!
When I look at the screenshot of her, there is nothing about her that screams to me "That's Harley Quinn!".
She looks like a created character with limited resources.
I've seen better created character Harley Quinn's in SoulCalibur IV than THIS.


I'm gonna be Joker laughing when the costumes I want are gonna be DLC.

You're right... not being interested in a new DC fighting game is not ignorant. It's very much your right. However, expecting NRS to work on nothing but MK related stuff IS a bit ignorant. MK is their main franchise, yes... but they are game developers by profession. Perhaps they just wanted a change? They've been working strictly MK for years and years now. C'mon.. you can't expect them to not want a change of pace after all this time.


They'll get back to MK. Let them stretch their legs a bit. Also it is far FAR too early to judge this game by any standard. it's still very early on in the process. Who knows, you might actually like it... and if you don't then you don't have to buy it. No one is forcing you. However you really do have to face the reality that NRS is going to work on other games and there is nothing you can do about it. So relax and wait for the next MK (which will be coming)

The days of Midway forcing out an MK game per year (with really crappy results) are gone. Now it will be more like how it should be... taking the time needed to make the games as best as they can. No rushing. If that means a break or two or three in between before other MK games come out, so be it. I can live with that if quality is the reward.

If I had to guess, this game probably means that the next MK won't come out until the next gen consoles arrive, which was already a fairly easy assumption to make. Truth be told, I'm okay with that.

I'd read a rumor a while back that NRS was trying to acquire the Killer Instinct license from Rare, so a small part of me is a bit disappointed that we couldn't see that game get made instead of this one, but that was probably never a realistic possibility begin with.

Regardless, as it stands, this game looks intriguing. I don't know if it's a must-buy based on what I've seen so far, but I'm guessing that as more and more gets revealed, my interest will increase.

On a side note, call me crazy, but I kinda would've preferred a fighting game that was solely based on the Batman universe. I mean, a game with these characters would be pretty sweet, I think:

Batman
Robin
Nightwing
Bat Girl
Red Hood
Huntress
Commissioner Gordon
Talia al Ghul
Joker
Two Face
Clayface
Mr. Freeze
Harley
Poison Ivy
Red Claw
Ra's al Ghul
Solomon Grundy
Penguin
Riddler
The Mad Hatter
Phantasm
Catwoman
Black Mask
Scarecrow
Bane
Hush
Hugo Strange
Killer Croc
Deadshot
Man Bat

To me, that's 30 solid characters, and most of them are characters that I'd rather play as than about 95% of the rest of the DC universe. Maybe that's just me though...

Either way, if this Injustice is half as good as NRS last effort, I'll buy it for sure. I just hope that I'll see a lot more in the coming months that moves me from intrigued to ecstatic about it.
