If they started development after they finished Injustice, then 2 years would have easily transpired before MK10's release date. There's also a strong possibility that the art designers were working on MK10 LONG before Injustice hit shelves.
Nope. They finished IGAU in april last year (actually even faster, since already finished version leaked to Internet in the beginning of april which means that the game was already finished in march) .
Be that as it may, my point still stands. Rushing games decreases quality and eventually leads to financial trouble. The problem is not with developers, per se, it's with the management types who don't understand that simple business logic and don't really care about the games, be it MK or Injustice or whatever. They are simply interested in making money and in their simple minds the best way to achieve that is to pump out as many games as possible in the shortest amount of time.
Game would have to come out before the movie to create hype for it, probably 2-4 weeks before it. Thou it seems less likely that this two things gonna be connected in the end.
Well yeah, I have no idea bout the state of development that movie is currently in having dropped directors etc.
Nobody with actual brain thinks they stopped working on IGAU on April 16 (they probably ended in march or even sooner). It's quite obvious that next MK game is in development for quite some time now, probably a year or even longer, which means that release at the end of 2014 makes perfect sense. Plus even little things like Kiefer Sutherland stating he completed work on next MK game quite some time ago mean that the game is in very advanced state of development.
selfish mk10 will erase inj out of your head
Announcing mk10 less than a year after INJ release date is like announcing INJ in 2010.
care to share the source?
It's all business and from what i've seen lately of WB actions - this makes perfect sense - they actually announced another Batman game to be released exactly one year after Batman: Arkham Origins premiere. So yea releasing next MK after like 1 year and 7 months from IGAU premiere makes a perfect logic from business perspective, sooner for WB = better, although not sure if it's better for the game quality. Time will tell.
Dude, MK is a much more iconic fighting game series than Injustice, and MK9 was hyped up a shitton before, there's no way Injustice sold more, and I do think Injustice was the better game.
I'm not so sure about this. Yes it is a much more iconic fighting game series, but Batman & Superman are among the top most globally recognized characters. Their symbols/logos/branding are almost on the same level as Coca Cola.
Turns out it's closer to 2 million. I don't know much more it can realistically sell over time, so I guess MK9 does win, but that's still pretty damn good I guess.
