Well if you just want videos of the same level as that Wonder Woman arcade run then there are a whole bunch of them scattered around this thread on TYM.
Mostly just lots and lots of cam videos of people trying to figure out how to play the game, or just kinda mashing and stuff happening.
Did you play DC Universe Online or the Arkham games?
I don’t know why anyone would want Jokers “real” voice anymore.
Mark Hamill did a great job in the past, but let’s face it guys, he has gotten old and so did his voice. He sounds and he voiceacts old, while characters don’t age.
Allow others, young voice actors to take over and make a name for themselves.
Judging the new guy buy one sentence and one short laugh is really childish and annoying.
And to the trailer … Warner Brothers and DC stand behind this game. I’m pretty sure that there is more than enough advertisiment for the casuals. In comics, maybe in animated shows. Maybe they will hit up the television with commercials in the next months. They have the money and they have the influence.
I don’t think that they care all too much about the desperate needs of the fighting game junkies from the fighting game community. You can’t base that much out of gameplay videos alone. MK VS DC offerend videos and people still discovered infinites on day 1.
Your only hope should be to get a balanced, bug and exploit free game and not to see some gameplay trailers, where untalented medicore people showcase you few combos.
Wait until the game comes out. It’s a NRS game… It’s obvious that you will get a lot of content for your money and that there will be reviews up before the game hits the stores.
Everything else after day 1… that’s when the fun begins and when YOU ALL actually start to matter, because of the mechanics of the game and the combat system.
I just realized why this game has so many batman people in it
its basically superpowers vs. non superpowers
doomsday actually took ov - Neck snap
This isn’t about desperate needs. This is about boon playing captain tease for a year with dick in terms of payoff. Nobody gives Sega or Namco or Konami or Arc grief for playing the quiet game from start to finish cause they don’t spend all day on twitter teasing fans about progress and making promises.
Its the same as when Capcom has sven or seth or snow or one of their other pitchmen make a huge statement about how fan feedback is important and how they gauge their decisions based on us, then Nitsuma says something like “we didn’t even consider Megaman or Strider or Gambit, what, did you guys do a poll or something?”
I know CoD’s million dollar numbers has lulled game developers into this we’ll buy whatever has the most sparkle nonsense attitude, but if they wanna claim to have a community focus or have fans interests in mind, they need to know there’s a backlash to burn us.
We all know how Ed Boon is. He likes to play mind games. Simply ignore him, if you’re not into it.
I don’t remember other devs mindfucking us as much as he does it, BUT …
Ed Boon has the last word when it comes to many decisions regarding NRS. Ed Boon was the one who created the “Ermac” line to track the error macros in the first MK games and he was probably the one who gave us the character Ermac, later on, because we wanted to believe that there was such a character.
If people are hyped about certain characters, than I’m sure that Ed Boon will also be the first one who will consider offering them as DLC.
Ed Boon is a guy from whom I believe that he offers DLC to actually play players and not only to simply get more money from them, like Cashcom does it in every, in EVERY recent game.
Besides all that, I’m still sticking to my opinion that we all in the fighting game forums don’t matter at all to them, since we won’t be a huge deal out of the million copies they’re going to sell, because they
Fighting game fanatics need to realize that. They’re NOT worth shit, when it comes to the success of the game. You can all bitch and stop caring about the game because of the lack of information and the game will still be a success, because of all the casuals who follow the game as casually as they follow all the other games.
Obviously I do understand the passion of the fighting game community for nearly every new upcoming fighter and especially if it’s a tripple A game which is probably going to set the standards even higher for fighting games, but people really need to chill out. These 3 months will pass in a flash and we will get the game.
Besides all that, we also have to take into consideration that most of the people who played it only said positive things and the build they played is supposed to be an old one. There is supposed to be a new, better build and if that’s the case, it’s even more of a win-win-situation.
I really can’t complain.
But yes, the lack of information is a pity.
However, I don’t see a lack of hype, since people care about the game and they showcase it every day, even if it’s through bitching. It’s still caring.
I gotta give it to ya,you are right.
Any following that prequel comic? It’s pretty damn good.
@Mendis, I would never disaparrage (sp) Ed (or anyone at NRS) for not having the quality of their title in mind, I am almost assuredly their biggest apologist. I would even go so far as to say they are one of the few dev houses (and yes, that excludes Capcom) with the kind of professional agility and customer care to ACTUALLY listen to fan input and make real dev sacrifices to make us happy. They’ve proven it on a number of occasions, and it didn’t take them half a year of approvals from some faceless overseas wire pullers to do it.
That said, while Ed has historically always been one to play (and who can’t fault him, you’d have to have a sense of humor to deal with this shit), NRS (or Midway) as a firm has always come through in a big way to show the game off when it counts. So even when Ed was hamming it up on twitter during MK9, they had a much larger presentation (even if it is illusion) of concern for the people who tolerate (and indulge) his playful side.
With this game (and this is entirely IMO), they have crossed over the line of playful jabs to an almost “you’re gonna buy it anyway, so who cares what we say” attitude. Compare the MKCommunityManager and InjusticeGame youtube channels, compare injustice.com and themortalkombat.com, compare the results of a cursory search on gametrailers, or ign or gamespot for articles and interviews. It almost feels like with MK9 they had something to prove, and with this its more “we got this, don’t worry. See you in April”
Now there are firms out there who do not care for their communities, Konami for instance is NOTORIOUS for simply pretending the press and the fans do not exist prerelease wether it be the next big a+ blockbuster or a tiny dlc release for some psn game. However, Konami doesn’t tweet pictures of characters who aren’t even being considered for their games while their official website doesn’t even have links to the videos for the last two confirmed. Konami just releases an announcement trailer, trips over their own shoes at E3, then vanishes for two years until the game is done. Period.
In the end, its an issue of respect. To most (including their shareholders) this sort of rant doesn’t matter, because as mad as I am, I already have my 60 dollars primed and ready, and lets face it, they have a LONG way to fall before they earn the kind of shit show reputation Capcom or Activision has. But the web is a fickle place full of miserable people. Everything is all good when a product lives up to the hype, no matter what was said months before. And even if you make a shit product and you’re endearing to your fans, people will fall on their swords for you. But if you make a shit product and you abuse your fans trust, they will turn on you and hang you out to dry. Just ask Denis Dyack.
We got a pretty awesome discussion of it going on over at tym. I don’t think too many peolpe here have picked it up.

Well played, NRS.
Hey, It’s a real site, and Bane is on there.
Someone check to see if they goofed up and posted the whole roster
Just noticed that GL isn’t on there
God, I hope so.
After seeing the spoilers for issue 3, no wonder Superman’s mad.
I suggest all the misinformed people to read this:
That is a Dev blog written by one of the Devs currently at NetherRealm Studios who also worked at Midway during it’s shit days.
The thing is, NRS is a new studio now, with NEW talent and people, it’s not the same people 100% making MK9/Injustice, so ignorant people need to cut the crap that all their games are going to be bad. And even after I post this, I doubt any of you will read that, but if you will you’ll realize why, the games were that way.
NRS cares for their community, their lead gameplay designer is literally in EVERY MK9 stream watching and chatting, and yes, trolling too, and giving out bits and pieces of vague info or reassuring the community about certain aspects we are all concerned about. He posts on the forums and lurks.
Hector is a great guy too, he’s listening to the fanbase, and their Community Manager interacts with lots of people on Twitter. They are a great studio, don’t be hesitant on picking up Injustice, tell your friends to get it too, it’s going to be great.
Someone spoil whats been going on in the prequel comic for me.
Superman killing Lois and the baby after the fear toxin mixed with kryptonite made him believe that she was Doomsday, Metropolis also blew up
To add to what C-sword said, the reason bomb blew up is because it was tied to Lois’s heartbeat, meaning Superman ended up having a unknown and unwilling part in that to
Harley’S tits on the front page, **** yes.
… o_O
Just noticed, the site doesn’t have Deathstroke either.
Batman has a very weird mouth 3:
