If Injustice had a sequel, will we have a new story? And expand the roster?

What characters would you have in the new roster? And those of the first game, who would you keep?
 
LOL
LMAO
LMFAO
SO FANNY
ROFL






I'd look forward to an Injustice sequel more than MK10. I already know they're going to DESTROY the MK4-Deception storyline in it. I can wait.
 
If they're going to make Injustice 2, Regime Superman somehow escapes from prison and the first thing he does is find and kill his Flash for betraying him in the last game before breaking some of the other members loose from their respective confinements, while recruiting some new ones (like . Then invades the Batcave, although Batman has already escaped and hiding somewhere, Superman somehow was able to configure the dimension machine and uses it to open a portal that will allow his revived superhero army (not coming back from the dead type) to enter our world and start a subtle manhunt on the heroes who aided the Insurgency, although a few other heroes and villains (like Black Canary, Black Lightning, Huntress, Question (Renee Montoya), Circe, Captain Boomerang, and Atomic Skull are caught in the crossfire). The price is even higher than before, and it's up to our Superman and the others to stop this menace before the Regime version steals their identities and reconfigure the world in their image. Another prediction is that the evil Supes will somehow be able to make a deal with Darkseid to lead an invasion force for not only to end his counterparts' life, but also something we don't know to be precise.

New characters in Injustice 2:

Heroes:
Black Canary
The Huntress
Black Lightning
Question (Renee Montoya)
Jericho

Villians:
Circe
Captain Boomerang
Atomic Skull
Hank Henshaw (The Cyborg)
Shadow Thief
 
Hell no. Superman had better not be main villain again. There are WAY too many possibilities for them to just recycle the same story with different players.




Darkseid needs to be the next villain. IF, and this is a huge if, if they even go with the Earth 1 & V storyline again. Darkseid is godlike, the Lex/Brainiac symbiote would be cool, of course Vandal Savage is always hype. And who says we need a single villain? Bring back the League of Doom. Give us a good ol classic storyline.
 
I'll take MK X over Injustice 2. Injustice is good, but things like XP and stage interactivity seriously can/should/need to apply to the next Mortal Kombat game.
 
I would like to see certain things happen when you reach a certain amount of life. like if it was Superman Vs Doomsday and you were in the watchtower, once Doomsday reached 75% life Martian Manhunter would start lifting you in the air or something. The only way to get rid of him is to press a certain button that would make him back off.

It would also be different effects based on the factions fighting. If it was "Hero Vs Hero" or "Villian Vs Villian"then it would be like a robot that slow your movements but if it was "Hero Vs Villian" then would be harmfull. The events can also be triggered if either you or you opponent reach a certain amount of health.
 
Well I mean I hope they aim for a "who's good and who's bad"

But not use a cop out like "Some people were scared, and some people were brainwashed, and some people just wanted to survive"


I feel like they kind of ed up the potential of this story. I mean it's not HORRIBLE, but it's not what I was setting my bar at.


I wanted that FEEL of friend being forced to fight friend. Having to always watch your own back, because you have to temporarily ally with a villain to achieve the same goal.

And when I say friend fighting friend? I mean they both really don't want to do it, but their views outweigh their friendship.


Don't bring back regime superman. Come up with a plot, where everyone is scrambling for a "side" of a very complicated issue of morality.

Like is it ok to kill 5 people(heroes) as a hero, to save millions of lives?

be put in some scenario where someone is like

"No, 5 lives cannot take presedence over MILLIONS"

vs

"no matter how small the chance, we should try to save everyone"

It doesn't have to be this, but something that puts you at the edge, and forces weird alliances.

I felt the Injustice story played it a little too close to the chest. The comic's story is WAY better than the story in the game

Good. The story arch from MK4 - MKA was garbage

Agreed.
The MK4 thru MKA storyline was horseshit, and I hope that they fix it for MK10.
That storyline era was full of plot-holes and retcons.


Anyways, OT, I'd prefer to see MK10 or an MK action / adventure game before seeing another Injustice sequel.
 
Post Trilogy storyline is no more full of holes and retcons than the original story; plenty of characters in the original Trilogy somehow cheated death and reappeared in the story. Two straight tournaments with Shao Khan as the big kahuna? Shang Tsung surviving and hanging on for three straight tournaments? Johnny Cage cheating death? Kano cheating death? Goro, Kintaro... and Sheeva? Let's not forget that the original Trilogy produced two movies; one that was among the all-time best video game to movie adaptations, and the other one being a hot mess. Let's also not forget that Mortal Kombat Trilogy is the sloppiest, glitchiest fighting game of all time; it was criminally slow on PlayStation, and a complete mess on the N64.

People are simply biased to the original Trilogy, for nostalgia's sake. God forbid the series continues beyond that. The fact of the matter is that Quan Chi and Shang Tsung forming an allegiance and killing the series' landmark character ranks in the Top 3 moments and shockers of the entire series.

Bring on the post-Trilogy series in modern format.
 
MK4 through MKD was definitely the best era for MK story wise, those were the games I even actually started considering MK as a good story based fighter, if MK had just continued doing what they did with the first 3 games, it would have turned out nothing more than what Street Fighter, Tekken , Virtua fighter etc is now, story wise.
 
Cheating death is standard fare in MK, and it also went on for post-MK3 characters, as well as in the MK 4 thru the MK:A era.
Any MK fan knows that death (sadly) isn't permanent in MK.
That being said, Trilogy did suck ass, and I never even mentioned that.

People do love MK1 thru UMK3 for nostalgia reasons, but also for the fact that ALL of those characters were original creations, and not knock-offs or copy-paste of other characters.
The MK 4 thru MK:A era was filled with a bunch of "new" characters which were basically re-skins of already established characters.
Frost, Shujinko, Jarek etc, etc, etc, etc all had copy-paste moves.
Why play as Frost when I could just play as Sub-Zero?
Why play as Jarek when I could just play as Kano?
Why play as Shujinko when Raiden, Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Bo Rai Cho and Ermac had those original moves and they were WAY better characters?

I want to see the MK series move on from MK9, but NRS also needs to stop the copy-paste bullshit for new characters, that happened in the past, and innovate on the new characters like they did with Kenshi in MK9.

Can't disagree enough with this. Let's examine:


-Sheeva was a knock-off/copy-paste of Goro and Kintaro, just less powerful.

-Kitana, Mileena and Jade were tweeked versions of one another with different colors.

-Baraka was a male Mileena, or Mileena was a female Baraka. Depending on how you choose to look at it.

-The Ninjas were all distinguished by only uniform colors and move sets. Otherwise, just a bunch of ninjas with different colors. Ermac, Smoke and Rain are all as generic as it gets. MK1 Reptile was deliberately copy and paste of Scorpion and Sub Zero. Smoke wasn't special until he became robotic. Even then, he still retained a lot of Scorpion's traits (spear).

-Robotics. Smoke retained Scorpion's spear and teleportation, along with Reptile's invisibility. Cyrax's net trap was reminiscent of Subby's freeze trap. Sektor was probably the most original. But even then, he still had similar properties to the other robotics, and the Ninjas.

-Goro and Kintaro were distinguishable only by species type.

-Sindel had a lot of the same wave trap properties as Kitana, via her scream. Pretty similar uniform properties as the other female "ninjas," too.

-Skarlet is completely generic. People just dig her, because of her glitch myth in MK2. Even then, at least NRS added a twist to her character with a Bathory angle. Even then, MK already has female vampire type characters, like Nitara.


I could go on all day with this. Point is, the post-Trilogy roster was no more copy&paste than the original Trilogy. But, again, the faults and repetitiveness of the original Trilogy is simply glossed over and romanticized through the lenses of nostalgia. Both eras should be equally embraced, because there is a lot of quality in both. Kenshi's re-implementation is only a small sample of what NRS can do with the post-Trilogy series/characters. I can only imagine how Nitara, Reiko, Fujin, Li Mei, Bo Rai Cho, Darrius and others would translate to the new game play engine. It needs to happen. Those who don't like it can stick with the original Trilogy and MK9; the rest of us can continue enjoying all of the MK Universe.

But, chances are, the original Trilogy purists will bandwagon as soon as the post-Trilogy game is released.
