SDCC: Hands-on with Injustice: Gods Among Us
NetherRealm's Injustice: Gods Among Us is the studio's next big fighter and of course it's on display here at Comic-Con, where Nightwing and Cyborg were revealed for the first time. I got a chance to play as Nightwing, who as it turns out is currently Ed Boon's favorite character. I think he's my current favorite too, as his play style makes him the most robust character in the game so far. Cyborg is the "ultimate weapons guy" as Ed put it, and he really is. Cyborg uses all sorts of projectile attacks, from missiles to even a grappling hook. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Prometheus had the best Batman villain origin of them all. He saw his criminal parents gunned down by cops and swore vengeance against the law. Best. Thing. Ever. I would have absolutely fucking loved to have seen Nolan's take on that but oh well. At least they mention him in the first Arkham game. Also, I hope they base Cyborg's moveset on Jax. As derivative as that may seem it really would be a fun little bit of retro goodness. 6:45 PM on 05.13.2013 New Jason Voorhees figurine based on his NES spriteThe National Entertainment Collectibles Association, a.k.a.
