Injustice: Gods Among Us sells 424K units in April

Gotta disagree there; SFIV is OK and SFxT is a bit worse than that.

SCV was alright I think, was for me anyway.

I was just using the EVO games and I've never played SCV online so I couldn't tell you.

MK9 did a million in its first month.

The difference says nothing about the game though, MK9 was released two years ago, when the industry was a lot healthier and people were actually buying games. Right now everyone is just fatigued with this gen and waiting for PS4 and Xboxw/e, not even Bioshock infinite could break a million in its first month.

Hopefully it has long legs.

Well I don't wait for the next Xbox or Playstation atm. Knowing that the new consoles will be dead for at least 1 year after release (because no games available and not able to play ps3, xbox360 games on them), so yea, I guess it will take some time til players will switch over to the new generation.

They will not be dead after a year as there are already next gen exclusives in the works "within the release window" and they simply don't play discs of previous gens but you can still download them.

They sold 425k in USA. What about the other countries?

 

[Le Froglet]

Dunno what you all mean about the netcode, rarely ever lags and I've probably had 1 dsync since launch.

 

[TheTHCGamer]

I agree that TTT2 has a very good, if not the best netcode atm for a Fighting Game, but SFxT and SSF4 on the other hand have pretty good netcodes as well.



Es geht so finde ich. Wenn man einem Raum beitretet und dort nur gegen Spieler mit 3 oder 4 Balken antritt, dann geht es einigermaßen. Aber in Ranglistenspielen kann man sich das ja leider nicht aussuchen und dann gibt es hässliche Verzögerungen bei der Eingabe (Input Delay). :/

Exactly from of all the fighting games at EVO Injustice is up there with the worse netcodes. Injustice is also a more high profile game so you expect more in terms of features like online play. All I'm saying is Injustice is a great game and deserves better then how it currently plays online. Saying things like other fighting games also have poor netcodes is a terrible excuse for how this game plays online.

 

[MKF30]

Seriously, ALL games lag online...so tired of hearing about "netcode this, netcode that" must I tape FPS's, other fighters and show the lag in them too? lol It's not like it's unplayable, like say ohh MKA, MKDC, DOA, TTT? etc It's very playable, but like any online game could always use improvement....online won't be perfected any time soon, don't care what game it is.

Honestly I thought I would have sold more. If 424k is successful though, kudos!

I'm sure the game will break 2 million within a years time. Between MOS coming out, DLC etc that will definitely boost sales and more costumes too. At least 1 million by then...

Oh no dude, it's not. It is better than P4A, KoF, UMvC3, MK9 and (arguably) SFxT. It's in the same area of SFIV (seriously, where are people getting the idea that this netcode is really good?) but TTT2 is the best.

Saying things like other fighting games also have poor netcodes is a terrible excuse for how this game plays online.

That's not my point, people are acting like Injustice is in the "stone-age" of netcodes when it's just as good or better than 80 percent of fighters out right now. People want "practically" offline for their fighting games but that's not gonna happen unless they invest in GGPO or a similar setup and even then it could be bad. People ALSO need to get off the damn wifi and stop running bandwidth intensive things (streaming movies/torrents/downloads/etc) when they're playing the game online.

 

[Rokinlobster]

Does any one know if these figures include pre-orders? If not they are probably closer to 750k/1million.

Injustice may have generated 100 million dollars already including the special editions and DLC stuff.

SFXT, P4U and TTT2 are the best netcodes out right now for the games being played at Evo
SF4's netcode is not that good. Neither is Injustice's

Anyone who says X netcode is better than SFXT has no clue what they are talking about BTW. SFXT (on xbox) actually allows cross country play on a strong connections and has input delay down to a minimum. You can't say the same for SF4 or Injustice.

Thank you and even then the input delay in Injustice is worse than SSFIVAE. I love the game I just wished it played better online like other fighting games do online. As much as I love the game though I'd be stupid or in denial to blame everyone's Internet.

I've played SFxT and it was not great, maybe it has gotten better in the months since I played it but it was bad when I played it heavy. It has some mid/low grade rollback netcode that, on top of causing many problems with the sound, can be extremely jittery and have dropped inputs. SFxT netcode was iffy, then again I may have just been playing bad connection after bad connection but I doubt that 90 percent of the matches I played was just people with awful connections. Again, I have not played SFxT in months, I'm just going off my experiences and the many things I've heard recently (everything from "awful" to "really good", I tend to see more "bad" comments than good).

I've played 500+ matches of Injustice and I've felt that less than 50 of those were "bad", what do you play on and do you just play randoms?

Clearly you have never watched my stream.
I have better internet than 98% of the fighting game players in the US.
150mbit down/65mbit up with super low latency via fios
Good enough to stream at 720p/60fps while having zero hit on my actual netplay.
So yeah, pretty sure I know what I'm talking about when it comes to what lags and what doesnt since most of america has ass internet and I actually good.

I play lots of top players in the US in Injustice ranging from fiber (when it's Fiber to Fiber, even though Injustice's netcode is so so, it's lag free in that instance), to cable (when playing people in the same city it will have some input delay) to people on the same coast but farther away - been playing Pig of the Hut and Juggs, both in GA and there is input delay.

I mean short of showing you my traceroutes pretty sure I know whats good with input delay

Also re: SFXT - the sound bug you are describing has not been in the game since the first version of the game with SFXT 2012 (before the first patch.) The game actually had less input delay with the glitched sound. They fixed it by adding 2f extra input delay to keep the sound in sync. The rollback netcode is definitely not as good as GGPO but it's better than a lot of other netcodes right now.

Sounds to me like you are either playing on PS3 (which sucks for SFXT netplay) or you played the first version of the game (which had less lag lol) and basing your experiences off that

Dude, I'm going by my experience and what I know for SFxT. Also, I dunno if you can count Godlike connections because they can cover up the horribleness of netcodes.

I've played with Astronaut, who has a Godlike connection and was streaming, in MK9, which has "very bad" netcode, and it was practically lagless with no latency or anything. At the same time, I've played people in Ohio with good connections in SFxT and it had a lot of latency.


Edit: Again, this was within the first month so I don't know how much it's changed over a year.

 

[Sabin]

The fact that you said MK9 and lagless in the same sentence has pretty much discounted what you're saying from the jump.
Also if you're saying that my strong connection makes up for the subpar netcode then why would I say Injustice lags? Even if I have a strong connection, if my opponent has a shitty connection, Fiber won't matter, there is nothing to mask, the input delay is shared between both

Again, with his connection that's how it felt. Ask him, it was great as are a lot of his streamed stuff. His fantastic connection along with my (better than 87 percent of US) connection it was outstanding.

I just don't feel it that strongly, maybe it's just me but I don't notice it in most of my matches as I can still punish, poke, do combos, what have you and it's no problem. Just last night I was able to do one of Supes high damage corner combos (that a lot of people drop offline) while being on Skype, a KOTH, and it being streamed. Again, maybe I just don't notice it and I just don't think SFxT netcode is that strong. Just what I think though.

Sorry, I don't get the "if my opponent has a shitty connection" part as that's true for any game.

 

[Dizzy]

KOF is the worst netcode i've experienced. It felt like it was worse than MK but that might have been just because KOF had pretty tight timing on certain things.

Haven't tried injustice except playing 2 ranked games on both systems for the yellow lantern skin, lol. Couldn't do combos those 2 games so I never tried again

 

[Compbros]

If I am wrong about SFxT then that's fine, my point is I don't feel Injustice is anywhere near as bad as people believe it is or are stating.

 

[Sabin]

Compbros, you havent backed up your argument with any actual facts
You posted "what you think" is lagless and that really isnt good enough, as even top players sometimes get it wrong
I have to deal with this stuff because I'm a streamer, input delay at a tourney would be a nightmare.
The only # you gave me was about your internet lol, having internet that is 87% better than the rest of the US doesnt mean anything, american isp's suck.

Just so you know, "lagless" would be considered anything 16ms and under which is 1F lag
but i dont mean to harp on you because its getting off topic

 

[Reptile Orion]

Those number don't shock me. Given the DC license and the marketing power this game has had I wouldn't expect anything less.

 

[MorbidAltruism]

This is great news. :16Bit

 

[RYX]

Put that money into MK9 and I'm a happy camper.

 

[JLU51306]

Anyone know what MK9 sold in this time-frame?
