Ed Boon Q&A on Twitter

[BarakaTile]

You know, I'm kinda split on some characters who were born in the variation system like Cassie. It's like in MKX I can see her different variations and understand the differences between them; ultimately I chose Brawler and she was one of my mains actually. But in MK11 I felt like I couldn't get back to play her, she was too different and none of the options available gave me anything close to her "original" Brawler variation. The structural gameplay differences between MKX and MK11 are probably a factor too, but I'm talking more about legacy.

The new characters introduced in MKX and MK11 are probably more difficult to adapt to a "no variation system" since they were developed with variations in mind. I think that's a big difference compared to the legacy characters. Cassie might be "Brawler" to me, but to others she could be Spec Ops or Hollywood... and you just cannot squeeze all those playstyles into one character, it just won't work.

Sure you can you just trim out the fat, Hell Cetrion might as well be a 1 variation 1 playstyle character already.

I know Pinhead gets brought up a lot, I'm curious how he would map into being a fighting game character. He doesn't strike me as the punchy kicky kind of guy.

Probably like Axl Low, extreme zoning with chains that reach every point on the screen.

Commander Keen is a ID Software game made by Carmark before Wolfenstien. That is the connection to Doomguy people are talking about..... BUT... I would be totally down for Commander Keen in Injustice as a guest.

Ehhhhh wtf did you just say to me, Eddie B?

Oof.

For once I'm glad he's being sincere. This puts all the fake rumours to rest... for now!

 

[Juxtapose]

Not surprising, honestly. With how much development of games everywhere have been delayed, how this generation of gaming has gone, and with a proper, post-pandemic restriction work flow only really picking up as early as this past Spring, I'd have been surprised if we had an announcement this year.

For sure, good on Ed. He's doing his best to help manage expectations.

My cancer came back because of this.

Still having fun playing mkx for almost 8 years now, what's another few more months? i'm patient..

 

[Gooberking]

4 years? Man, that's like 2 NRS games ago and counting

 

[Jynks]

nice... glad he shut down all that speculating shit.

 

[John Grizzly]

The dream is dead.

The fact that MK11 is the game we are going to end up being stuck with for 5 years is quite sad. At no point do I ever think "man, I'd love to play some MK11!" I do still thoroughly enjoy playing MK9 and MKX, though. I'm thankful for that. Even Injustice 1 is still quite fun. INJ2 as well, to a lesser extent.

If nothing is coming soon, an MK9 remaster would be.......

who am I kidding. It's never happening.

Anyway, I really hope they do announce something within the next few months. I was really banking on the game awards. At least I'm guaranteed to see some more Tekken 8 stuff there and that has me excited.

 

[Pizza]

They should remaster Injustice 1
