Well this went from a game that I never planned to own to one I'll buy...well when it's on sale.

[oldmanwinters]

I thought this thread was gonna be a joke or a discussion of the character creation tool.

But wow. Just wow.

Can't wait to buy when the collectors edition comes out with all the DLC included for free 1 year from now. :lol:

[Chaotix12345]

Well, this is pretty much the definition of "unexpected." :tlol: Needless to say, this game has quickly jumped to my NEED list for the future because any game where I can slap around Batman, Sub-Zero, and Hellboy with the Turtles is one that deserves my time. It'd be super rad if their gear mods referenced some of their alternate looks like their Spirit Quest and wrestling costumes.

[Allio]

Hellboy and TMNT together? I got to be dreaming.

[CyberCubed]

And just realize this is because of Nickelodeon too. Whoever keeps badmouthing Nick for what they're doing with the Turtles license needs to get their head examined. We literally got two DC comic crossovers with Batman (with a third coming), and now the Turtles in a DC fighting game.

You guys should read the youtube comments on the trailer reveal, some people don't like TMNT it seems. :lol:

[nellyp]

This is gonna be awesome!

[Autbot_Benz]

ya on twitter people were loosing there **** that the TMNT were included over other DC characters

[TigerClaw]

I wonder what there Super Move is going to be like?

[Coola Yagami]

So are they gonna be 4 separate characters... or like one big composite of all 4?

I'm stoked, though I do understand the hate. I mean, the Turtles are basically 4 green humans with shells. More than half the roster would kill them. And if they are 4 separate characters, a non-fan could see them as 4 slots wasted where you could have say... just Leo, or maybe the Shredder, and 3 other DC characters.

[plastroncafe]

Okay....that looks awesome.
I might have to find someone streaming this, because it looks damn entertaining.

Same here.

But wait, does this mean there's a possibility of a TMNT game by WB? :teek: I mean, remember when Activision released TMNT skins for that one Tony Hawk game? Those same skins ended up being from Mutant in Manhattan so... :tgrin:

[CyberCubed]

LOL, anyone who is complaining about TMNT being included is going to have my wrath brought upon them. I'm going to sic myself on these people like a rabid dog, not because they don't like TMNT, but because of how butt-hurt they are.

I'll tear them a new one. I'm going to have a lot of fun scouring tumblr, twitter and other forums for the next few days. I can't wait to raise some hell. And everyone knows good and well when I go off the hook, I cannot be stopped.

It's going to be a LONG week. :)

(Before anyone asks, yes I'm joking)

[dl316bh]

They should be more upset with the DC characters actually included. The Atom is alright, but not exactly my go-to for a new character. Then there's Enchantress. I realize more people are aware the character exists now because of the Suicide Squad film, but that's still a very deep cut for DC.

I enjoy the guest characters, because NetherRealm really go all out with them. Mortal Kombat X had a horror foursome in Jason, Leatherface, Predator and the Alien (all that was missing was a return for Freddy, who'd guested in the prior game). Now we've got Hellboy and the Turtles. When it comes to getting licensed guest characters they don't screw around.

[Ninjinister]

I wonder if this is the project Christopher Smith (https://twitter.com/GetMeSmith/status/818948538264481793) said he'd be Raph and Splinter in? (Splinter maybe showing up in their Super Move or Ending?)

[Candy Kappa]

Now I'm actually intetested in a Injustice game

[Sumac]

I'm stoked, though I do understand the hate. I mean, the Turtles are basically 4 green humans with shells. More than half the roster would kill them.
One of the heroes in the game is Batman. You know, simple human, who without plot armor would have been crushed by Superman like an insect, so I don't see why Turtles are somehow special in that regard.

TMNT most likely will be 4 character in one, like you switch turtles in the fly.

There is a rumor that creators of Arkham games, Rocksteady making a new TMNT game. Though, at the moment it's just a rumor.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Holy crap! I was asleep when the news dropped and my cat woke me up about two hours ago and I haven't been able to get back to sleep since!

I played the old Injustice game here and there and this new one wasn't on my radar at all ... but I'm definitely going to be picking it up later. I LOVED Mortal Kombat X and it looks like Injustice 2 is getting rave reviews.

TMNT most likely will be 4 character in one, like you switch turtles in the fly.

Yeah, I'm wondering how this will exactly play out ... for selfish reasons - I would love all four, even with all of the same move set. It just gives me those Tournament Fighters vibes and I would love to play as Raphael by himself, but I guess we'll see exactly how it works out when some footage gets released.

There is a rumor that creators of Arkham games, Rocksteady making a new TMNT game. Though, at the moment it's just a rumor.

Good lord ... if that ends up being true, that'll be incredible.

Now we've got Hellboy and the Turtles. When it comes to getting licensed guest characters they don't screw around.

Yeah! I loved that X pulled from so many horror movies and I hope they keep that tradition in the follow up. It was weird that they threw ill-fated Jackie Earle Haley design in the mobile version of Mortal Kombat X and didn't try to capitalize on using the classic design with the same move set for the console versions.

Man ... Hellboy AND the TMNT? This is awesome. Is this the final DLC pack for this game I suppose? There's talk of more coming out in 2018 ... but who knows. There was constant talk about another Kombat Pack for Mortal Kombat X, but that faded away.

[Bry]

We've already got Injustice 2, which is probably my wife's favourite fighting game (and she's a massive fan of fighting games in general) so this is... very welcome news. I usually abstain from buying DLC, but I might have to make an exception here. First Hellboy and now this. NetherRealm is killing me here. :tlol:

I really dig the look of them. When I first clicked the link, I was terrified we'd get some overly-complicated, jacked-up BayTurtles designs, especially considering some of the overdone costume alterations we've seen in the Injustice series already, but these look a lot like the Henson movie designs, just with a tiny bit of extra wraps and straps a la IDW. It's a solid, classic look. They're even shorter than the standard "human" characters!

And it's an extremely minor thing, but I appreciate that you can (assumedly) swap out the '87-style coloured arm and leg bands for Mirage/1990-style brown:

The only DLC characters that do kinda annoy me in Injustice are the Mortal Kombat ones, because... y'know, there's already a whole game for them. I get that it's a callback to MK vs. DC, but I just find it underwhelming in a comic fighting game to not get more comic characters instead.

[Bry]

And just for comparison's sake:

https://s17.postimg.org/xnwk7a5zz/turtles.jpg

...I love this so much, you guys. :tlol:

[Allio]

What if gear turned the turtles into different incarnation

[MrTMNT2012]

I was already going to buy Injustice 2 but now I found my definitive Mains.

Can't wait to beat Batman's ass with Leonardo! XD

[Ninjinister]

And it's an extremely minor thing, but I appreciate that you can (assumedly) swap out the '87-style coloured arm and leg bands for Mirage/1990-style brown:


Yeah there's probably a few different gear/shaders that'll let ya tweak the turtles a bit.

I'm completely with ya on everything! Who would've guessed that in a game we weren't expecting to see the TMNT in at all ... we'd get some of the coolest designs. I cannot wait to see some gameplay footage of these guys.

You're right too in regards to the Mortal Kombat characters, it's not like Batman or Superman get thrown in as DLC for their series. There is that call back, but I'd much rather have other comic franchises thrown in if possible as opposed to MK characters in these.

[Coola Yagami]

One of the heroes in the game is Batman. You know, simple human, who without plot armor would have been crushed by Superman like an insect, so I don't see why Turtles are somehow special in that regard.


True, but plot armor, but Batman has been shown beating Superman and whatnot before. I love the turtles but Raph can't touch Superman, but you know, whatevs. I mean might as well toss in Kick-Ass in there too and have him whup the snot out of Darkseid.

Now I do hope they go back and record new lines for the characters in reaction to the turtles. Don't mix and match the old stuff, record new lines for the pre fight scenes. Hopefully some references between the Turtles and Batman.

[AquaParade]

Check out the crowd reaction to the TMNT reveal. As a fan in general, it's really cool to see.

And yes, loving the Henson TMNT vibe. Fantastic.

[Bry]

I will actually cry tears of joy if we get this as an option. :tgrin:

See, if I were a head honcho at NetherRealm, what I'd do is save the MK characters as DLC and instead give customers who own Mortal Kombat XL and Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition the ability to "lock on" the two games into one giant Mortal Kombat vs. DC experience. Even at a bit of an extra price to unlock. That would be something else. I believe they both use the same engine, so I can't imagine it'd even be that difficult. Though I'm sure the bean-counters think padding Injustice 2 DLC packs with a couple MK characters is more profitable, so... :trazz:

[Diorm]

Now that is the design they should always get in a videogame or movie! I wonder if they are a character played as a team. That would be original.
And yeah, I'll still wait for the unavoidable Ultimate version to get all the characters at once. Like I did with Injustice 1.

[Cure]

They're probably all one character with each turtle being a premium shader, like what they did with Freeze and Snart.

[Coola Yagami]

I haven't played the game due to lack of PS4 but do Cold and Freeze play exactly the same? I kinda hope they don't have one base Turtle you can switch between them as 'different outfits' because then the different weapons would just be 'there', like Zombie Liu Kang's chains that don't really do anything. I'd much rather have Leo as the base and have certain attacks call in the others or temporarily switch the Turtles or something. I mean... what else can they really do if they want to somehow combine 4 characters into one?

Yes, Freeze and Cold play the same. If you wanna look at a premium shader that plays differently, though, there's Bizarro versus Superman. Slightly different (fire breath/ice breath) moves but pretty much the same.

[CyberCubed]

For those who don't own Injustice 2 yet, you might as well wait a year for them to re-release the game as a collectors edition with all the DLC for free. All fighters are usually re-released a year later with all DLC included on disc, so if you don't have the game already you might as well wait.

That's what I'm going to do.

[AquaParade]

That’s probably the sensible thing to do with your money. That said, it would sure be cool if they saw a huge increase in sales right after announcing that the ninja turtles are in the game. Who knows what they may pursue if this is a hit with fans. Remember that rumored rocksteady game?

The Rocksteady rumors were always bullsh**. They're doing Superman.

I thought I saw a headline just the other day that said the open-world Arkham-style game for Superman was dead in the water

[RaphaelinSTL]

Yeah I did too (https://www.cbr.com/superman-rocksteady-rumor-debunked/) ... something could always happen at some point, but highly doubtful for the future.

[CyberCubed]

You won't see any major TMNT game this gen, it takes 2-3 years to even start the groundwork for a new game that isn't a sequel these days.

[sdp]

This doesn't mean there'll be a WB made TMNT game, they also had Freddy/Jason/Alien/Predator/Hellboy as guests in their other fighting games. I mean I wish it were true but TMNT games are doomed to be mobile only, especially after the failure of TMNT Out of the Shadows (the game not the movie).


People being pissed that these guest characters are in the DC or Mortal Kombat games are valid concerns, there are tons of characters from the DC universe that deserve a slot and even MK characters instead of Jason who doesn't fit the mythology so I get pissed too, with this It's an exception to the rule since the fangirl in me overrides it.

[CyberCubed]

Most important DC characters are in. I'm surprised Martian Manhunter and Batgirl aren't though, as they were in the first game back on PS3.

Other than that...who outside of DC nerds care about those C or D tier superheroes? Does anyone want to see Hawk and Dove? Or Elongated Man? Or Aqualad? WTF.

Yeah, I agree, but I do get why they do it. Apparently, when they used Scorpion as a DLC fighter for the first Injustice, he was one of, if not the, highest downloaded of the paid DLC fighters. So they're figuring, throw in the occasional Mortal Kombat character and make some decent cash out of it. It's still a little irksome, because I'd rather more DC comic characters, but it's hard to hold it against them when they go so far out of their way for these guest fighters.

True, but plot armor, but Batman has been shown beating Superman and whatnot before. I love the turtles but Raph can't touch Superman, but you know, whatevs. I mean might as well toss in Kick-Ass in there too and have him whup the snot out of Darkseid.
I usually put fighting games in a special category of "suspension of disbelief" in that I don't think too much on how much more powerful one is supposed to be than the other. Raiden's a god, should Kabal and his chinese hook swords really be able to damage him? Ryu versus Thanos? So stuff like that doesn't bother me, especially when it's guest characters and there's no story involved, so it's not a question that really needs to be answered.

Is this the final DLC pack for this game I suppose? There's talk of more coming out in 2018 ... but who knows.
Ed Boon has said they've increased support with each successive game and they want to continue that trend with Injustice 2. So I figure there's one or two more DLC packs coming before it's finished, since three was where Mortal Kombat X stopped, as I recall.

It was weird that they threw ill-fated Jackie Earle Haley design in the mobile version of Mortal Kombat X and didn't try to capitalize on using the classic design with the same move set for the console versions.
Yeah, that was a little strange, but I think the reboot was still fresh at the time, which is probably why it happened to start with. I imagine it was popular which is why we got what we did with X. With luck, at least some of them return for a sequel with some new guys.

The Rocksteady rumors were always bullsh**. They're doing Superman.
I hope so, because I really want a good Superman game. There was a fair bit of denying that recently, though, so who knows. Could be to throw people off the trail or they could legitimately be working on something else.

[slingtheory]

HOly crap man. I just came across this in my YouTube feed and freaked the hell out. Haven't been all that interested in fighting games for awhilebut I have been casually keeping up with this one because I like the story. I just watched the hellboy game play the other day but I never would've expected this in a million years. I definitely have to pick this up at some point. Also fingers crossed that maybe this could mean the turtles might have some kind of future with wb games. I know people are still hopeful about rocksteady getting the license but I'd settle for the team who did arkham origins

[PApagreg]

No they wanted to see Constantine, Beast Boy, Plastic man, Static, and Rorschach

I am both a huge MK and TMNT fan. It does bother me to see guest characters in the MK games, but I understand it may help sell. But for the Injustice games I don't mind the guest characters so much since we have so many different outlets for the DC universe (comics, movies, tv, games, etc.) where as MK only has one (games) relevant one. Plus, at least Hellboy and the TMNT are within the same genre as DC characters and by that I mean comic book characters. The guest characters in MK are simply from horror/sci-fi movies. Now if we got Ryu, Jago, and/or Kazuya as guest characters I would be interested in that. Although I'd still say in-universe MK characters first then those guys :tsmile:

With that said, I did geek out to see this reveal and am excited to play this game even more now. FYI Best Buy will have this game on sale for $19.99 as part of their Black Friday sale. The DLC fighter packs are $19.99 each, individual characters are $5.99, and the ultimate pack which includes all the dlc is $39.99. With this deal you could get the whole game plus all the dlc for $59.98, however if/when they release a "complete edition" my guess is that it would be $40-50. Or if you really just want to play as the TMNT buying the game with this deal plus just the characters would total to $25.98 as long as they follow the price trend.

[sdp]

I think you meant TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan

No I did mean the Out of the Shadows game but Mutants in Manhattan which I forgot about and is a more recent example and proves the point as well ;(

Most important DC characters are in. I'm surprised Martian Manhunter and Batgirl aren't though, as they were in the first game back on PS3.

Other than that...who outside of DC nerds care about those C or D tier superheroes? Does anyone want to see Hawk and Dove? Or Elongated Man? Or Aqualad? WTF.
I don't know who's on injustice already but I would guess there's still A-list and high B-list characters not in the game.

No one wants Hawk and Dove but you can easily make a fighting game with just popular Batman characters, it should be the same here. Batgirl/Manhunter are big omissions for example. I mean is doomsday there yet?

But I do undestand TMNT will sell more DLC packs than say the three above mentioned characters. Which is why they do them. And in this case I"m fine, can't wait to buy the "gold" edition for dirt cheap on steam 2 years from now.

Mortal Kombat characters are also no problem since they already have the models and the game uses the same MK engine so they aren't taking a "slot" away.

Guest characters always sell better, which was stated multiple times by NRS themselves. Fans need to get used to this fact and stop crying.

[IndigoErth]

Agree so much! :D

Unlikely I will ever play this or any related games, but look forward to screen caps and more info. Awesome that they're having another visit with DC (if only they could get into a movie too someday!), very happy to see anything like this that cares to take them seriously like they deserve and put them in that light for the general public!

[Sighphi]

and they actually look good.

Way too expensive. Wait 1 year for the collectors edition with all the DLC included for free to come out. Wait 6 months more and you could get it for $20 on amazon.

Unless you're a hardcore fighting game fan, you should never pick up a new fighter when it comes out. It's a waste of money, since they always add like 10 or so new fighters as DLC that are then added for free when they re-release the game.

[sdp]

You can say that about any game really, I never buy games full time, buy them 2 years later on sale for a few dollars.

Of course I'm no "hardcore" gamer so I don't need to play things as soon as they come out.

Guest characters always sell better, which was stated multiple times by NRS themselves. Fans need to get used to this fact and stop crying.

Except I had already mentioned that in my post.

It wasn't free, but the collector's edition came with all of the character DLC to begin with.

[TigerClaw]

Here's a theory, Activision hasn't put out a new TMNT game since Mutants in Manhattan, so chances out the TMNT license ended, then Warner Bros Games picked up the license, and to test it, had Netherealm Studios bring the TMNT into Injustice 2 as DLC characters.

These are tell tale signs, that an announcement of a new TMNT game is imminent, and from Rocksteady.

For years they been rumored to work on a TMNT game, and its quite possible we can expect some announcement from it soon, maybe possibly during the Game Awards on December 7.

Where is this Rocksteady noise coming from again? The original "rumor" was one guy talking to a guy at RS who said it would be cool to do, he embellished the hell out of it. After it came out what actually happened, nobody's talked about it since....

Now everybody's like "it's rumored" again....

[CyberCubed]

We won't get any TMNT games anytime soon besides licensed kids games based on the 2018 cartoon, and those will probably just be downloadable or mobile games.

[Ninjinister]

We won't get any TMNT games anytime soon besides licensed kids games based on the 2018 cartoon, and those will probably just be downloadable or mobile games.

There's that arcade game coming out before the end of the year....

[DevilSpooky]

Here's a theory, Activision hasn't put out a new TMNT game since Mutants in Manhattan, so chances out the TMNT license ended, then Warner Bros Games picked up the license, and to test it, had Netherealm Studios bring the TMNT into Injustice 2 as DLC characters.

These are tell tale signs, that an announcement of a new TMNT game is imminent, and from Rocksteady.

For years they been rumored to work on a TMNT game, and its quite possible we can expect some announcement from it soon, maybe possibly during the Game Awards on December 7.

Chances? The fact that the games got pulled out from every Digital platform outright tells us they lost/didn't renew the license...

Also there's no Rocksteady's TMNT game in the works nor it ever was, they outright said they wouldn't be able to do justice to the property because they wheren't huge fans like they where Batman's.

Now this could mean that they have some dev working out on a TMNT game in house though, and contrary to what Cubed said they don't need a show on tv for one to happen and in fact now is a good time to buy the license for one since it should be cheaper exactly because there's no high profile show on TV that everyone wants a piece of the pie and Nick can rack up the license fees.

And with that reactions the reveal got and if the DLC pack sells through the roof it might interest WB to invest on the license to do a proper TMNT game at their own time, with no pressure to meet deadlines and to release while the interest is high because of popularity and instead create a good TMNT game for once.

Actually, in this day and age, it wouldn’t be surprising for an online rumor to lead to an actual product.

[DestronMirage22]

This is a really neat surprise.
I really like how similar the designs are to the Henson costumes.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Same here! The designs seem to be getting such universal praise. Like I said before ... leave it to a game NO ONE thought they'd be in to nail the look so great. :tgrin:

Here's a theory, Activision hasn't put out a new TMNT game since Mutants in Manhattan, so chances out the TMNT license ended, then Warner Bros Games picked up the license, and to test it, had Netherealm Studios bring the TMNT into Injustice 2 as DLC characters

I remember earlier this year when Activision was cleaning house (https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/activision-marvels-partnership-comes-end/) and got rid of so many of their licensed games, I thought they lost the Spider-Man license around that time as well. Which confused me at first ... cause I remember thinking how Sony was making their own game as well that got announced the year prior. I didn't even know that Activision dropped Marvel as a whole back in 2014 (https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/activision-marvels-partnership-comes-end/), but then still released their planned Amazing-Spider Man 2 movie tie in game.

At this point, I'm totally on board with any assumption that a new game could possibly be in the works ... but I'd hate to get severely disappointed, so I'm in wait and see mode.

[sdp]

I really don't like the designs for the turtles, it's not a deal breaker but they're ugly, the TMNT can only look "so" real before uncanny valley sets in, this is also why we have the hulk TMNT in the latest films. Henson did it best with a mix of realistic/cartoony look, if not they look as horrible as that Out of the Shadows game that was released like 4 years ago.

These ones just look odd, I do like the Henson references but these are not the Henson references. To the defense of the turtles many of the NRS DC designs are also really ugly and too gritty for the sake of "it's realistic looking".

Name five times that has happened, with proof.

Anything can lead to an actual product, it's not "out there" to think a rumor can lead to a company doing market research and see that there's demand for a product. Not saying there'll be a rocksteady TMNT game, I don't see that happening as much as I'd want it to.

I2 TMNT are almost complete copy of 90-s TMNT.
What are you talking about?

You need a good glasses, dear sir.

[AquaParade]

Name five times that has happened, with proof.

No thanks. I'm just stating that it wouldn't surprise me given how close the fan/creator relationship continues to grow. Things like Bioware creating a new ending for their videogame, online surveys.
There are developers/publishers out there who want to please consumers, or maybe they're just looking for the next big thing. That rumor got a lot of positive feedback, so why is it crazy to think WB would pursue lots of money?

In conclusion, I never said a rumor leading to a game had precedence. I said it wouldn't surprise me these days.

I thought I remembered seeing on here awhile ago that activison lost the license. I was pretty sure that would be the only way something like this would be possible. Then again I guess it could be possible they just paid to "borrow" the tmnt.
Man its so hard to say. For all we know this could be in honor of the batman crossovers but i really hope it's like the Tony hawk situation and their just testing the waters

[plastroncafe]

Their designs are just so pretty

[ChosenOne]

Except the eyes aren't scary, creepy, lifeless doll-eyes anymore. :D

[CyberCubed]

I think their faces or mouths do look a little wide though

[Sumac]

*Picture of Andrew's inner world
Salty? :tlol:
No Mirage Turtles here. He-he-he.

Seriously, knowing NRS I can't wait to see all little references to TMNT universes and lore and how they gonna play off of other characters.

Also, I wonder, how they gonna handle the fact that Turtles are team. Will it be only like one Turtle in the intro, or will it be different Turtles for different intros.

And on the note of intros, it really will be interesting to learn who are voicing them.

[CyberCubed]

Just curious, do DLC characters get any story mode scenarios added or no?

[Andrew NDB]

Question. In Injustice, can you change the skins to their classic selves? i.e., play as normal Superman and not weird pseudo evil accessorized Superman? Is it also possible the Turtles would have alternate skins or customizations?

[Cure]

Question. In Injustice, can you change the skins to their classic selves? i.e., play as normal Superman and not weird pseudo evil accessorized Superman? Is it also possible the Turtles would have alternate skins or customizations?

It depends on what the developers wanna put in, but yeah, some characters have classic looks. You can play as Jay Garrick Flash, for example.

And yes, definitely for skins and customization. The whole hook of the game is getting armor pieces and junk to customize your fighters. You can forego the armor and just look like a certain skin if you want, also, while retaining the benefit of the armor.

[Mewzard]

Question. In Injustice, can you change the skins to their classic selves? i.e., play as normal Superman and not weird pseudo evil accessorized Superman? Is it also possible the Turtles would have alternate skins or customizations?

It varies. There are several slots you can unlock armor for that change their appearances/stats, and there are color shaders you can unlock to change their color scheme, but there's also Premiere Skins that change the characters' full appearance, voice, intros, etc.

Like if you didn't want to play as Raiden but wanted a DC character, he has the Black Lightning premiere skin.

Or, for Hal Jordan, I believe most Lantern Corps have unlockable chest symbols, should you want to go for whatever Lantern Corps, but there's also a John Stewart Premiere Skin.

You can also unlock a few special moves to swap out for other characters.

[Ninjinister]

Just curious, do DLC characters get any story mode scenarios added or no?

Nah but everybody does get their arcade mode-type ending.

[CyberCubed]

Any chance of Shredder being a skin for a character?

[Bmaga123]

I can't wait for it.

Love the designs but hoping for alternates to be Toon, Comic, TMNT III Samurai look, and trench coats.

[CyberCubed]

Any chance of Shredder being a skin for a character?

Hell would a Shredder skin be good for Deathstroke? They fight somewhat similarly.

[PApagreg]

Hell would a Shredder skin be good for Deathstroke? They fight somewhat similarly.

1. Deathstroke isn't in the game and even if he was he barely fights anything like Shredder

2.Why did you reply to yourself

[Ninjinister]

Hell would a Shredder skin be good for Deathstroke? They fight somewhat similarly.

Blood, are you high? At what point does The Shredder fight like this

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/injusticegodsamongus/images/b/bc/Deathstroke_Injustice_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20130423002504

And as PApa said he's not even in the game anyway.

[myconius]

hopefully they will eventually just make a TMNT based fighter.

...and hopefully it'll play a lot better than Injustice!

https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ujIXu3Yy4T8/WF2tzM2FIvI/AAAAAAACKGg/jnXwsf6tNcE3b0bdKwAMj-Sop73VejN3QCLcB/s1600/9kqXNog%2B-%2BImgur.gif

[CyberCubed]

So was Deathstroke in Injustice 1 then?

Either way who would make a good Shredder skin? Remember he'd be fighting hand to hand, but you'd have his gauntlets instead of punches. I can't think of anyone else who fights like a ninja but Deathstroke.

[Ninjinister]

...and hopefully it'll play a lot better than Injustice!


Bruh, what?

I can't think of anyone else who fights like a ninja but Deathstroke.

Homie Deathstroke fights 90% with guns.

[PApagreg]

Homie Deathstroke fights 90% with guns.
I say 65 percant buy yeah Deathstroke isn't a good skin for Shredder, hell now that I think it compared to Deathstroke, Batman or Robin would've been a better skin

[CyberCubed]

In Teen Titans and Young Justice I saw Deathstroke fight hand to hand more than anything, and the Arkham Origins boss fight.

[PApagreg]

In Teen Titans and Young Justice I saw Deathstroke fight hand to hand more than anything, and the Arkham Origins boss fight.

He used guns and a sword in Young justice and in origins he used a Bo staff

[Ninjinister]

Did you forget Batman is a ninja? If it weren't for the grappling hook, he'd probably be the best bet.

I mean I am so confused right now. Deathstroke is basically serious Deadpool (with good reason) and you think he would be host for Shredder as a premium skin if he were in the game?

[dl316bh]

So was Deathstroke in Injustice 1 then?
He was. He's not in Injustice 2, though. Why? I'm not sure. A couple others were dropped as well, such as Raven, Sinestro, Shazam and Lex Luthor (though in the case of Shazam and Lex, that at least makes sense considering the Injustice Earth versions got themselves killed in the first game).

Still, it's moot, because I agree with the others that he'd be a poor base for a Shredder skin. I don't think anyone is really close enough for it. Some are saying Batman, but even then, he's gadget heavy and doesn't fight the same.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Rented Injustice yesterday because I got super impatient wanting to get a feel of this game before the TMNT arrive.

I guess we'll probably get more clues on how they'll play whenever they release the "Introducing ... " game-play footage they've been uploading?

[Sumac]

He was. He's not in Injustice 2, though. Why? I'm not sure.
Most likely because parts of his gameplay were given to Deadshot.

[CyberCubed]

I never understood why fighters cut characters from previous games and don't include them. Their movesets are practically done, and although I know they would have to tweak them to match gameplay of the sequels, isn't it basically throwing away an almost complete fighter? Plus they know fans play as certain characters and are upset they weren't in the sequels.

I'll never understand why fighters purposely remove old characters. This has been my gripe in almost every fighter sequel ever.

[Cure]

You're not a developer, you don't have to understand.

[Sumac]

I'll never understand why fighters purposely remove old characters. This has been my gripe in almost every fighter sequel ever.
Because roster is finite and, if you do not just an update of existing fighting game (like in case with Guilty Gear, BlazBlue or many other niche fighting games), but a new installment, you need to overhaul gameplay of all characters from scratch (which means you need to create new / additional animations, rebalance gameplay for the new rules and systems and so on).

At this point, there is effectively no difference between creating new character and reusing the old one. Well, maybe reusing old one is a bit easier, if we talk about, say Tekken, but it is still not a simple matter of copypasting old assets and animations.

In case of Deadshot and Deathstroke - you have two characters who quite similar to each other. Of course, theoretically you can make both distinct with their own unique gameplay, but it's a matter of time, money and approval of DC bosses.
In this case, it was decided that Deadshot should be a more prominent character (in lieu of his appearance in Suicide Squad) and Deathstroke is not worth the efforts, so Stroke was stroked out and Shot got a shot to be in the game. And to speed up development process, some of the Deathstroke moves (as well as that of Erron Black from MKX) were given to Deadshot.

[Spike Spiegel]

This game is definitely on my list when we get the inevitable $20 Complete/Ultimate Edition. I still have yet to beat the first Injustice.

It's nice to see CGI turtles that still have the classic Henson aesthetic.

[Allio]

Granted, we still haven't gotten the Arkham knight complete

[Ninjinister]

Sakurai said it best when discussing characters from Smash: building a new character and a returning character take almost equal parts of work when developing a new incarnation of a series.

[CyberCubed]

They better bring back Ice Climbers in the next Smash. They even said they were done and working on the Wii-U and just removed them because the 3DS version couldn't handle two characters moving at once. :ohwell:

[RaphaelinSTL]

Right around that time, but I can't find anything about it for the life of me, but they did say it, if I remember it then they said it, I never forget random bits of trivia I've ever heard, for what it's worth anyway... :trolleye:

[pferreira]

So which voices are these for TMNT? I don't recognise them.

[Coola Yagami]

So which voices are these for TMNT? I don't recognise them.

Idk but they're doing their best to imitate the 90s movie TMNT.

[CyberCubed]

I bet Nolan North is one of them. He already voiced Raph in the 4th movie and does tons of videogame voices.

[Ninjinister]

I bet Nolan North is one of them. He already voiced Raph in the 4th movie and does tons of videogame voices.

And Leo (+Shredder and Splinter) in Mutants in Manhattan

[CyberCubed]

Interesting, I didn't know he was in that game too. Makes it extra likely he voices one, (or maybe even all?) of the Turtles.

[drag0nfeathers]

This excites me greatly... like... finally having a real reason to buy a PS4 kind of greatly

[shuriken]

I hope there are separate slots for each turtle, but will be fine if they are like triborg that you can switch with, although I can't imagine all of them having a similar play style.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah, the different weapons for the Turtles make it difficult for them to be clones of each other. What I fear is Leonardo will be the main Turtle we control 90% of the time, and the other 3 will just pop in for special attacks or something like that. I really hope that's not the case though.

[Coola Yagami]

Just bought a PS4 tonight. But I'm not falling for Netherrealm's **** again. I'll wait for the Complete Injustice version. I felt like an idiot buying all the first Injustice DLC and then whoop... complete edition. Yeah, **** that ****.

Once again, the Ultimate Edition already has all three announced DLC packs to begin with, from day one. I mean of course it costs more, but everyone seems to believe there isn't an option where you can buy all of the DLC outright in one pack.

Unless they announce more DLC after Fighter Pack 3 (which is possible), that IS the "complete edition".

Ah, I didn't think they released the Ultimate Edition by now. But after checking it out... no. Just no. I'm not spending a hundred bucks on a single game. Screw that. Not even Mortal Kombat 9, Mortal Kombat XL and the first Injustice Complete Edition cost that much. That's just stupid and crazy. Guess I'll wait til the price goes down.

Is it that big of a difference - 60$ vs 100$?

[Cure]

It's a $40 difference.

[Sumac]

I know, but not a big one and if you want to get all characters, you will be forced to pay for DLC.

[Coola Yagami]

It's a $40 difference.

The difference becomes even bigger if you already spent money on the normal injustice 2 and some DLC.

Besides I'm confused on the complete edition. It must be false advertising, how can it be complete? You'd all be playing as the turtles already months before they were ever announced.

[shredder orokusaki]

That why i never buy DLC until the season pass in on sale. What ido is buy the games at release dates and then when the dlc/season pass go on sale i buy it. That makes it much cheaper.

[DevilSpooky]

It must be the game with a Season Pass, once the characters are released you download them for free, they can't be included on the disc obviously.

[Coola Yagami]

So if you buy the Complete Injustice 2 game, you no longer have to pay for all upcoming DLC?

I'm still feeling the burn from stupidly buying the first Injustice, then paying for the new characters as they came out, and then finding out they released the complete version with all the DLC included that would have cost less buying THAT instead of the original game and the DLC.

The difference becomes even bigger if you already spent money on the normal injustice 2 and some DLC.

A) There is no version called "Complete Edition" for Injustice 2
B) No version at launch is going to let you play characters that aren't finished. That's not how time works.

[Ninjinister]

Yes, Ultimate Edition gives you the DLC as it's available. But if they decide to add more than 9 characters, Ultimate Edition purchasers don't get those characters without buying them in addition.

If they don't do more, the Ultimate Edition would be de facto the "Complete" game. But they don't make the characters when the game comes out so you can't get them before they're made.

So i guess I'll wait for the Ultimate Ultimate This time for Real Ultimate Edition then.

[TigerClaw]

By the time the Ultimate Edition comes out, you will have a hard time in online multiplayer matches, cause by then, people would have gotten so good in this game, that you won't have a chance at winning any matches, and I suck at fighting games in general, I don't have those quick reflexes, or able to anticipate a move.

a game like this is better off with playing with people in the same room, but many of us don't have people to play video games around with, so online is the only option.

[CyberCubed]

I rarely play online anyway, just content with playing the single player or with real people locally.

[TigerClaw]

Another thing to consider, is these DLC characters are not added to the game's single player story, so those hoping to see some TMNT in the single player, not gonna happen, they are only for vs mode.

What I can see happening is the TMNT would be avialable in those Ladder matches, so if you beat the final boss in that, you would get the TMNT's ending.

[Candy Kappa]

Yeah there is no reason for the Turtles to not only have their own arcade mode, but the other multiverses as well. I can almost guarantee at least the week of release there will be a multiverse mode for getting new Turtles gear.

Eh, I either adapt or get lucky. But whenever my bro come over, we usually spend all night just duking it out with fighting games. So seeing his face whenever the Turtles just randomly appear in such a game will be worth it.

[PApagreg]

I wonder if the turtles will join the Regime or the Insurgency, I can see them sort of splitting with Leo/Don joining the Regime and Raph/Mikey joining the Insurgency

[ProphetofGanja]

So what is the basic storyline in Injustice? I know it's something like "Superman turns evil, something, something".

Anyone care to sum it up?

[PApagreg]

So what is the basic storyline in Injustice? I know it's something like "Superman turns evil, something, something".

Anyone care to sum it up?

Well in the first Injustice, Joker had a plan that resulted in Superman killing Lois Lane(who was pregnant with his child) and pretty much nuked Metropolis killing millions which also resulted in the deaths of some DC heroes like Beast boy and Starfire. As a result Superman killed the Joker and brought in the Regime which resulted in a 5 year war with Batman's team and Superman's Regime. In order to win the war Batman brought people from an alternate earth where there was no Regime and brought back good versions of the Regime members to combat them.

In the second its pretty much the aftermath with every Regime member except for Flash/Green Lantern, either being imprisoned or hiding however the society is making an uprising and if thats not bad enough Brainic is coming to destroy the planet and trap certain cities in jars.

If you are a fan of Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Superman, Damian Wayne, and don't care much for Bat wanking then you aren't going to enjoy the plot to the game

[RaphaelinSTL]

Yeah there is no reason for the Turtles to not only have their own arcade mode, but the other multiverses as well. I can almost guarantee at least the week of release there will be a multiverse mode for getting new Turtles gear.

That's what I'm pumped on!

As I may have mentioned before, this game wasn't on my radar at all earlier this year and I ended up renting it the weekend of the TMNT announcement and falling in love with it. I'm sure that has a lot to do with the potential of how the Turtles are going to play and seeing them within this fighting game realm.

I certainly hope they do another Fighter Pack into the next year, but I'm sure they're more focused on Mortal Kombat 11 at this point.

[Sumac]

If their work cycle is the same as before, then we most likely won't get a new Fighter Pack.
Besides, it seems they like to finish their packs with experimental, "many characters in one" type of thing.

In MKX the last character was Triborg who was basically Sektor, Cyrax, Smoke and Cyber Sub-Zero in one. In I2 it is TMNT who are also 4 characters in one.

Yeah... i mean they're kinda running out of characters to use. Anyone else is better reserved for an injustice 3.

[Ninjinister]

That's what I'm pumped on!


Since Injustice 2 did sell a lot and doesn't really need the sales, I am hoping that the Turtles will move units and NetherRealm realizes it was a good idea :tgrin:

[Cure]

Our very own Peanut bought the game as soon as he heard the announcement.

[Sumac]

Yeah... i mean they're kinda running out of characters to use. Anyone else is better reserved for an injustice 3.
If you mean guests, than yeah, it's hard to see what kind of new characters they can bring to the table, aside from bringing some characters from the side and D-listers.
Heck, it can be argued, that TMNT are characters from the side.

I more interested what characters will appear as guests in MK11.
Unless they add some of them to base roster, than I think, NRS already has run out of famous cinematic monsters.
Jason, Freddy, Predator, Alien - you can't get higher than that. And I don't think some characters like Leatherface will move DLC units.

I think it's obvious the only reason TMNT happened is because the DC/TMNT crossovers from IDW sold so well. Those were the first official TMNT crossovers with DC, and it went so well they have a sequel coming out next year.

So it carried over to the videogames. I wouldn't be surprised if WB are the ones who suggested to Ed Boon and Netherrealm studios to use the TMNT.

Also WB owns the rights to the 4 TMNT movies they made.

This obviosly, and I really hope they see this as an oportunity to study if the TMNT property is worth anything to hopefully create a TMNT gaming equivalent of the Arkham series, not exactly in style but more in moving the IP away from mediocrity and into a best selling gaming franchise.

Most likely.
Former sound designer of NRS, said in interview, that guest characters are specifically chosen by WB.

[CyberCubed]

It's funny, as a kid I always wanted the TMNT to crossover with Batman but I knew it would never happen in a million years. At the time I didn't understand superheroes or comics were all owned by different companies, and thus it was unlikely for shows to crossover unless they were owned by the same IP holder.

Who would have thought 20+ years later the TMNT would have three official crossovers with Batman in comics, and now appear in a DC videogame. Even just a few years ago saying such a thing would have been laughable and you'd have people tell you to stop reading crappy fanfiction.

I guess it's true what they say, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Or good things come to those who wait. Or sometimes wishes do come true. What goes around comes around.

Apparently the Justice League Power Rangers crossover didn't sell very well, maybe if it had we'd gotten Power Rangers intead :lol:

[RaphaelinSTL]

Since Injustice 2 did sell a lot and doesn't really need the sales, I am hoping that the Turtles will move units and NetherRealm realizes it was a good idea :tgrin:

Well, I ended up picking up the game because of the announcement as well ... so hopefully they see an increase of sales following the trailer drop for sure. :)

The leprechaun from the Leprechaun movies would be hilarious

Holy crap ... that would be incredible. :tlol:

I'm wondering since there was such a desire for Spawn that he may end up in the next Mortal Kombat? I'd be cool with him either in Injustice or MK, but honestly I love the idea that horror franchise characters are the ones that show up in the MK universe.

I may get it eventually, but don't know for what system, since i own both a PS4 and Xbox One.

Fighter Pack 3 is finally available for pre-order it looks like! Atom is available now, so guess we're still getting Enchantress in January with TMNT in February.

[CyberCubed]

I still don't know how the Turtles play. Since they're all in the same character slot, do you switch between the 4? Their different weapons would be different fighting styles, but how much is different?

We really need a trailer showing how this works.

I suspect the trailer won't drop until January.

[Ninjinister]

Atom just came out on Tuesday for Season Pass holders and will (I believe) be out next Tuesday.

I know we're all excited but ya need to chill. They haven't even shown Enchantress gameplay yet and I'm almost 100% sure she'll be out before the Turtles.

Well I actually ordered the Fighter Pack 3 on Tuesday when it was released in the Playstation Store and I've been playing as him a lot this week ... maybe it's different for XBOX or PC?

Like Sumac said ... I'm sure a TMNT play-through trailer will drop in January after Enchantress's release.

[CyberCubed]

$19.99 just for a fighter pack, goddamn. It's gotten to the point where DLC overall for all the additional fighters costs more than the main game. The full game costs $89.99 with all DLC included...wtf.

I miss the days when bonus characters were unlockable in-game for completing a story mode, higher difficulties, or some sort of challenge. Why back in my day you bought a game and you got all the characters, and you unlocked the rest either with cheat codes or by completing challenges.

At this rate I'll just have to wait a few years for the complete edition at only $19.99 with all DLC included for free...problem is that will take a long time.

Games costs more to develop this days.
So, it's either you pay more for bigger package or pay the same price for initial package and then pay for the rest of it in the form of DLC.

I am not fan of it myself, but it's not like anything can be done about it. Unless people will be willing to pay 100+$ for a complete package.

Injustice 2 has 28 playable characters in the base game. "Back in your day" fighters had like, 12 people and two modes. Shut the **** up.

[CyberCubed]

That's not really true, plenty of old fighters from the late 90's or early 2000's had 20-30 character rosters.

[Sumac]

Injustice 2 has 28 playable characters in the base game. "Back in your day" fighters had like, 12 people and two modes. Shut the **** up.
Actually before rise of DLC, there were quite a lot of fighters with rosters having more than 20+ chars: MK Trilogy, 3 MK games on PS2, KOF series, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Capcom vs SNK 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Tekken Tag Tournament, just to name a few.

[Cure]

Not just that but games like SF Alpha 3, Capcom VS SNK 2, several Tekken games pre-dlc, etc all had characters you could unlock into the actual game without having to pay extra.

Though I do like DLC, I just like actual real DLC, extra characters that weren't even imagined when the game was first released. Not like SF X Tekken where the characters were already on the disc and you were basically paying for a cheat code to unlock them.

[Ninjinister]

The larger numbers almost never were in first iterations of fighters, and heck, even today the initial installments *usually* don't have much. 20-30 is the norm now for most fighters. They also would dial back the roster significantly if there was a major engine/platform change, like how MK4 had way less than Trilogy and was more or less equal with MK3 (depending on if you count unplayables/bosses). But yeah, most fighters before the modern age had to wrack up a few sequels/upgrades before your got your bigger-than-even-20 rosters, outside of The King of Fighters, and even then with the first game you couldn't even pick your character but had to choose a team.

I mean even UMK3 would have likely never happened if people didn't lose their s**t at MK3 not having their precious "ninjas". [sic]

And of course, roster size means f** all if the characters aren't different enough. Some of the "flying fighter" DBZ games (Budokai Tenkaichi, Xenoverse arguably) can boast over 100 characters but they're all super same-y, the same handful of move-type templates stitched onto different models. That's part of the reason there's so much excitement over FighterZ.

I do miss unlocking characters but since the developers have to appeal to two different crowds these days, it's becoming more rare. It's not beneficial to tournament players to have half the cast hidden away and those things are so big now that they're on network television and there are massive cash prizes, so yeah, that's less of a thing now. The problem is when the developers don't know how to do the balancing act.

But even though the FGC is a big money draw, fighters are still a niche and honestly I'm just thanking my lucky stars they're not hitting the mobile/Battlefront 2 type of thing. Yeah you have random drops with your gear but you'll never have to pay (in-game or real world) currency for a chance to get a specific character with any of the current games, and you'll not have to grind infinity years to unlock anything. I do detest Capcom's hogwash that they've done in recent years, even back as far as Super SF4 and MvC3. And I'm also glad that most games don't make you buy a new disc to upgrade anymore - I like when it's an option, so that everyone's happy.

Keep in mind that NetherRealm has straight up said that they don't even start more than just the basic foundation of any of their DLC (pre-order bonus shenanigans not withstanding, but I suspect their daddies at Warner being behind that) before the game goes gold. While they may have decided on the Turtles being in back before/when the game was released, they absolutely hadn't made them. They didn't purposely hold back on releasing nine characters at launch (or even, based on the evidence, the first three) just to release them one a month.

[Sumac]

Injustice 2 has 28 non DLC characters. Point stands.
MK Armageddon had 62 / 63 characters. No DLC.
Tekken Tag Tournament had 34 characters. No DLC.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 had 49 characters only in Arcade version. 59 in home one..
The King of Fighters 2002 Ultimate Match had 66 characters. No DLC.

So, it seems MY point stands.

Each one of these outside of TTT1 (which was specifically made to show off new hardware) are last hurrahs on dying hardware/engines designed specifically to cram as many dead/retired/forgotten characters as they can in one game, and to specifically point out something in the post directly above yours (hi) - these aren't the first or even second incarnations of each series. I'm sure Injustice 3 will have 40ish before DLC. Plus, again in that post (hi again!), these have a lot of very same-y characters. The closest IJ2 has is Superman and Supergirl but they really aren't in terms of anything other than powerset and species.

And keep in mind that all games are restricted by time and budget and all DLC is a separate budget from the main game. Again, NetherRealm has massive corporate bosses in the form of God Dang Warner Bros. and Ed and his team doesn't have the kind of freedom that they enjoyed at Midway.

And I mean, I don't even really understand what your point is? Are you saying you should be able to get free content because... some old games had a bigger roster?

My point still stands.
Whether they were compilations or not is entirely irrelevant to the question.
Were there pre-DPC fighting games with more characters than 12? Yes.
End of story.

And keep in mind that all games are restricted by time and budget and all DLC is a separate budget from the main game. Again, NetherRealm has massive corporate bosses in the form of God Dang Warner Bros. and Ed and his team doesn't have the kind of freedom that they enjoyed at Midway.
LOL, you don't know what are you talking about.
The only thing why DLC budget is separate from the main game is because, game is cut to pieces at the pre-production stage. Then, of course, they make a separate time and budget to flesh out those pieces later. Pieces that under other circumstances would have been part of the core game.

Also, about Midway / NRS - you again don't know what are talking about.

What freedom?
MK developers were not free under Midway in any way shape or form. Midway bosses forced them to put out MK games annually on shoestring budget, because, it was the only Midway franchise which brought at least some money after start of 2000-s, which is why MK Deception feels more like a rehash of MKDA and why MKA is a crazy mess of half-cooked ideas.

They are not free under WB either (no developer working under publisher is free, imagine that), but at least they give them time and decent budget to work with, which tremendously upped quality of the games.
MKDA - the best selling game out of new PS2 trilogy sold ~2,1 million copies. MK9 ~5+ million copies.

And I mean, I don't even really understand what your point is? Are you saying you should be able to get free content because... some old games had a bigger roster?
My point is that Cure said, that old fighting games before DLC didn't had more than 12 characters, which is obviously false and I have proved it.

I didn't said anything about "free content" and what not. Stop fantasizing about my posts and putting words that I have never said in my mouth, please.

[bwwd]

Not sure if this was posted but nice reaction :)
kPc6xwfZfZ8

[CyberCubed]

Yeah, the crowd reaction was great, but at the same time, I'm willing to bet most of those people don't even know anything or much about TMNT. I'm willing to bet 90% of those people don't read any of the comics, never watched the recent two cartoons and the only thing they remember about the original show is from their childhood but never revisited it. And they probably just remember the first movie, which is what most casual fans think about.

It's weird to see casual fans get so excited about TMNT...yet they never watch/read anything in the TMNT franchise. It's almost like some people like the concept of Ninja Turtles more than anything that has the Turtles in them. Do they read the Mirage/Archie/IDW comics? Of course not. Did they watch the 2k3 or Nick cartoons? Most likely not. Do they remember anything of the original cartoon other than, "Mikey says Cowabunga?" probably not.

I've noticed most people in real life who say, "They love TMNT" actually barely know anything about it and don't follow the franchise at all.

[bwwd]

So many assumptions :) Let people be happy , they dont have to be hardcore fans, from what i read its hardcore fans who are the most hard to talk with people because of their love to particular turtles incarnation :)
Hardcore fan after watching trailer can say "why next mutation stylized gear", why initials if its more like movie turtles etc. so most of the time im glad if people dont care that much and arent that hardcore about turtles.
Couple of years before i was very against bay turtles beacuse of their design but today i can see it was done on purpose to make them kinda like monsters , humans/mutants and it works in some scenes , its still my least favourite turtles look.
So i know that people's opinions do change.
That thing about "i love this and that" applies to a lot more than TMNT , lot of people say they love something like i love rocky movies but they cant tell who rocky fought in part 4.Its funny :)
Most of the kids that say to me they know turtles and they like them a lot its becauyse they want to be nice to me and stuff, when i ask about turtles names then they cant tell... and im not angry about this, its kinda cute that they try to be nice.

[Toitlefan]

I've noticed most people in real life who say, "They love TMNT" actually barely know anything about it and don't follow the franchise at all.

I think everyone is a casual fan of something though. I haven’t read any Marvel comics in 10+ years but I enjoy most of the new movies coming out and every once in awhile I’ll catch a small reference.

While it is an awesome appearance for the turtles in this game it still is a casual appearance. I mean, how much screen time or back story will they really get besides the fighting gameplay?

[CyberCubed]

What I was referring to was the, "mass cheering." For example when they put Aliens or Predator in the previous fighters I thought, "cool" but nothing more. If it was a big franchise I really liked such as TMNT, I would get overly excited. But as I said, I seriously doubt those 50+ people in that video are all big TMNT fans.

For a lot of people TMNT isn't much more than a passing interest from their childhood. It's not something like Star Wars or DC/Marvel superheroes that a lot of people follow into their adulthood.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah it does seem to be an exaggerated response. I’m sure any of us from this forum would react like that but I agree; our community is much smaller.
Every time I see someone in public wearing a Tmnt t-shirt I squint my eyes and ask myself “are they really a fan?” Not that it matters really, haha!

Yeah, it's mostly, "YAY!!!! Something that vaguely reminds me of something from my childhood!!!" and not really deeper than that.

Well there's also the fact that it was completely f**king unexpected.

[bwwd]

No offense but some of you guys are really hard to please and you dig a lot in your head to take out some negativity and complain about video with people cheering over something you yourself actually like - ninja turtles , what the hell happened to some of you guys ?:)
All my friends know TMNT and you act like if this forum is some underground secret turtles survival real fanbase here where nobody out there knows that you exist.chill.8)And dont expect people to like something the same way you do.Some people are emotional and react like that over unexpected, it doesnt mean they are super fans.
Many people stop collecting turtles stuff in various stages in life and its all perfectly fine.Thats just life.

Its not worthy to expect anything from anyone, in the end it only makes you sadder inside and only you care about it so... why even bother, instead change your expectations to make you happy cause its all that matters.

I don't think it matters much if the people in that video are up on turtle lore or not.What matters to me is that a group of grown people seem legitimately excited to see the tmnt show up somewhere in 2017. Especially when that somewhere is a game that features some of the oldest and most influential comic book characters of all time.Even if everyone there only has nostalgic memories of the Turtles(and theres no way we could know that at least some of these guys haven't read the comics or watched any of the newer cartoons) the reaction shows that there's still excitement for the franchise from people old enough to drive and that's great to see.
Hopefully somebody with some pull saw that video and thought to themselves "hey if they react like this when we make them dlc in a fighting game i wonder what they'll do if we put them in a decent game of there own." I've got my fingers crossed for that anyway.
And by the way you've got to remember that every hardcore fan started as a casual until something caught their attention and made them want to go deeper. For all we know this could end up being somebody's tmnt gateway drug.

Apparently Injustice 2's DLC characters have been released on the second Tuesday of every month, so looks like we'll be seeing a February 13th release date for the TMNT. I would suspect a trailer would come the week prior, but guess we'll have to see!

[AquaParade]

Well they basically just used the 1990 movie designs, but its the best look they could have gone with to match the Injustice graphics style.

Somewhat. The base is the 1990 movie but they refine and update. You can see small touches like Raphael having leg wraps, where Mikey does not. They've also done a subtle tweak to Mikey's belt, which looks good. Some of this may come down to persoal-player customization, but either way the design is great.

So they take a fan-favorite look and modernize it a bit. Individualize them a tad. Good formula.

They've also done a subtle tweak to Mikey's belt, which looks good. Some of this may come down to persoal-player customization, but either way the design is great.

So they take a fan-favorite look and modernize it a bit. Individualize them a tad. Good formula.

Exactly! I'm excited to finally get them in the game and see how they play ... it's almost surreal we're getting such awesome representations of the TMNT in a DC fighting game.

Ed Boon just posted a GIF of Raph.

Oh my god ... I can't stand these teases anymore. :teek:

[Shark_Blade]

It's still not out yet? Omg...

[RaphaelinSTL]

Now all of the character dialogue has leaked!

The Mutanimals reference pleases me. :D Also, judging by the "We're definitely interested, Starfire," I guess the Turtles may have gotten an invite to join the Titans.

"Hope you're not turtlephobic, Hellboy."

What the wha????

[PApagreg]

I love the fact Leo has dialogue with Jaime

[oldmanwinters]

I got the sense from the dialogue that Splinter might have died or been killed prior to events of this game.

[CyberCubed]

The voices all sound pretty good. Sounds like a mixture of the movie voices and the cartoons.

[Sabacooza]

Why does Raph have a slight southern accent?

[TigerClaw]

That's a whole lot of dialogue. I believe some of it are during the clashes.

Also some of the dialogue mentions the Turtles going up against Brainiac. Its no doubt they are playable in the ladder matches and you will get there ending.

[Coola Yagami]

Wait..... if they're all 4 turtles into one character.... why do they get so much lines each? It's literally 4 times the dialogue of any other character. Also, why does the announcer actually name each turtle 'wins' instead of just 'Ninja Turtles Win' or something.

Because having extra content is nice.

No, I mean, based on all that dialogue per character and the announcer calling out each turtle individually, it almost sounds like you'll actually be playing as whichever turtle you want individually, rather than all four as one. Maybe when you choose the Turtle slot, each button let's you choose a Turtle, just like you'd choose an alternate costume for any other character.

Its probably going to be like Triborg from MKX

That could be the case. when playing as Green Lantern you can choose an alternate costume which would be either Hal Jordon or John Stewart. so its possible the alternate costume selection will be any of the Turtles. and each with there own set of moves like how they do the different variations.

Was there any doubt at all? I mean, why would they not be?

[Shark_Blade]

They say the release date might be sometime later this month.

Generally the characters have been released on the second Tuesday of the month, so it's expected the TMNT will be out on February 13th.

Kinda weird that his round belt buckle is empty without any letter or symbol. Should've rid it altogether like the movies did.

It is a strange middle-ground, as it exists.

[Leonardo_thebest]

Their beaks seem short to me.

[Powder]

Their heads/faces are a bit "off" in general to me. Kinda fat, short snouted, big chin, creepy eyes. I dunno. :tlol:

[Leonardo_thebest]

They remind me of the prime1 statues. The fingers are a bit too much like Bayturtles as well...creepy and small.

[RaphaelinSTL]

I don't know ... I think they look pretty damn great. Especially Mikey in this particular shot (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DU9pc2HXUAEJjZd.jpg:large).

[KillCrites]

I think the Turtles' skin is way too smooth, they look uncanny.

[RaphaelinSTL]

I've noticed that in a lot of Injustice's characters when playing the game - Batman and Catwoman in particular.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Looks like the trailer drops tomorrow too.
