It’s not all about black and white people dude.
There aren’t any Asian or Hispanic characters in this game yet, at least we already have Cyborg.
I’d still like to see Blue Beetle and Vixen in the game as no characters play like they would yet (Cyborg can’t fly).
Still wanna see a magic user, preferably Raven or Zatanna

The deathstroke trailer at proper 60fps, looks much better then on youtube IMO, his animations look a lot smoother.
I don’t think where going to see any other minorities outside of Cyborg, maybe John Stewart alt for Hal, and if were super lucky, Static.
Blue Beetle 3 has no chance with Cyborg, and DC doesn’t really have anymore super popular minority characters that honestly have a chance at making it in, same with Animal Man and Vixen.
It was a palette swap joke. In any event, half the cast is still under wraps and every single character released so far looks amazing. I’m not sure why everyone is having a conniption about the cast.
If anything we should be cheering on the blandies so they can get the rest of the game right, and then do whoever and whatever they want with the next game like Capcom did with the Marvel series. The COTA cast was bland as shit, but it paved the way for Capcom to get increasingly adventurous with each succesive game.
I prefer no more bat characters…more animal man,zoom and blue beetle plz:)
fuck you guys deathstroke is batman, my predictions for the next reveals
Spoiler
Robin, Mr. Freeze, Comissoner Gordan, Gotham Civilian 2, Alfred
Lobo please.
Bobbie dooley voice
Mmmmhmmm.
sadly already deconfirmed.
The hell is Boon smoking?
Get some of the Bat family out of there and then he’d have a reason to make an appearance.
Boon said Lobo has a chance at DLC because people have asked for him.
Lobo has no real relevance in DC anymore, he is a product of his time and people only like him out of nostalgia, he is alright in small bursts, like cameos.
The character roster was chosen based on the needs of the story, and Lobo would have very little to do with anything, just show up and wreck some stuff, but they already have Sinestro and/or Atrocitus for that.
Of all the characters I’ve seen Deathstoke (along with Flash) suffers the most from “MK animation syndrome” . Do we just give Boon a pass on this now because we’re used to it? Stiff, strange and unnatural animations that MK has been known for since going 3D. Seems like something people just accept now days, but I still notice it.
Well, at least it was Deathstroke and not Jonah Hex lol
Boon isn’t the animator on the project. You want to blame Tony Zeffiro, who is the lead animator at NRS, afaik.
Personally, I think the animation is cool.
Boon is the creative director though, everything goes through him. I remember opening up tombs in the old Krypt (Deadly Alliance) where it showed “Making of” videos. Showed Boon drawing throws that would ultimately be in the game on napkins. Remember that Jax throw where he kicks you in the chest and stretches out completely horizontally? Yea, Boon drew that on a napkin before having it added to the game.

Looks like NRS is kinda listening, an actual match video between Batman and Deathstroke.
Bad news is that either the AI are playing, or the marketing department because I have seen better play from children in off screen comic con videos.
Did you watch the 60fps video I posted earlier? It looks better there, still kinda jerky, but the extra 30 frames make it fast enough where it isn’t so noticeable.
Is that stage S.T.A.R labs?
That video is uhh… it’s something else.
Everybody who works in a game has input (in my experience). Exec positions will yield more sway than QA, obviously, but the producers generally don’t micromanage down to that level. Boon doesn’t sit around saying, “please make the animations more jerky”.
Boon’s position means that he manages the overall design of the product, not that he makes calls about individual animations. That is left up to the lead animator, then it either goes to a producer or art director, then it likely ships unless there is a serious problem raised by someone else in the management team (or elsewhere, depending on how large / team-oriented your company is).
You do know tons (millions per release, apparently) of people like the way MK looks and moves? You’re not actually jaded enough to believe the consistent sales and accolades MK has pulled in for more than a decade were from people who just “give MK a pass”?
hahaha
Implying MKs were decent for the decade prior to 9
Implying 3D MKs BEFORE 9 weren’t some of the worst 3D games ever made
Implying there aren’t a fuck ton (millions, apparently) who will buy MK just because it’s MK
Implying most of the fighting game community doesn’t consider Ed Boon the little brother and “let’s him play too” because he tries really hard.
Implying MK9/Injustice aren’t better received in part because Netherealms animation has improved DRASTICALLY.
Quite frankly, your implications are absurd.
^Fuck you, I loved me some Deception.
