Injustice: Gods Among Us is an all-new game in development by award-winning NetherRealm Studios. The title debuts a bold new fighting game franchise that introduces a deep, original story featuring a large cast of favorite DC Comics icons such as Batman, Bane, Lex Luthor, Green Arrow, Cyborg, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Solomon Grundy, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and many others.
Update: i just pre-ordered it. I freaking hate myself -_- lolz
Who exactly has given up lately? Namco has Tekken and Soul Calibur, Capcom has Street Fighter and SFxTekken, Sega has Virtua Fighter, WB has Mortal Kombat and now will have Injustice. 2011 and 2012 were years where fighting games made a comebak IMO.
any word on the next soul caliber or tekken?? Sega has virtua fighter? Did you forget just how many fighters sega had in the 90's?? And don't bring up old rehashed hd ports, as i don't include those as being "supported"...
Capcom also had other fighters besides street fighter back in the day and it seems they have given in to the criticism seeing as how there is no new street fighter on the horizon...not that it's needed...
and how well was M.vs.C 3 received which was the bonafied sequel everyone was waiting for? Not too well actually...
Same goes for mortal kombat which released it's best version a couple of yrs ago now but to little fan fair...
what i was trying to say is since this generation of gamers are more into 1st person shooters and open world gaming, than developers don't have much of an incentive to try anything else...which is why i'm keeping my fingers crossed for this game...
P.s.
I also think the name will do more harm than good as it gives no indication of it being about DC super heroes and such...they should have gone with DC Universe: Injustice League or something of that nature.
I'm not so sure about the storyline though... the cinematics have nothing to do with the gameplay at all, I don't really like the disparity.
