Injustice 2 Will Continue Injustice 1’s Story with Supergirl Playing a “Very Pivotal Role”

In a recent interview with Game Informer, Ed Boon was inevitably asked for more revealing info about Injustice 2. Boon says that the way the lore of the first Injustice game took off was a pleasant surprise and, when asked about the narrative of Injustice 2, he had this to say:

“Well we actually do have a big campaign. We’re going to drop a really cool piece of content. Then we’re going to unravel the story of that. So I can’t really get into a lot of the details of it now. What can I say that doesn’t ruin it? It certainly continues with the story and, as you can tell from the roster, there’s a lot more characters that are introduced. I’ve already said this at Comic-Con, that Supergirl plays a very pivotal role moving forward. I feeling like I’m holding back so much…and the story that we have is, the presentation, is more elaborate as far as the story and options and stuff like that as far as what could happen. It’s not as black and white as the first one.”

In the interview, Ed Boon shares history and anecdotes from his 30 year career in the gaming industry. It can be viewed in full on the Game Informer website.

Apparent Marvel vs. Capcom 4 In-Game Screenshot Confirmed Fake

The rumor mill leading up to the PlayStation Experience this weekend isn’t stopping when it comes to Capcom’s Marvel vs. Capcom 4: a new image appeared on 4chan boards and was posted on a NeoGAF thread, appearing at first glance to be a screenshot from the game.

Aligning with the previous rumors on Marvel vs. Capcom 4, the shot has two characters per team; Ant-Man and Gwenpool are facing off against Street Fighter V’s Rashid and Resident Evil’s Ada Wong. While it’s clear that the image looks a little dubious, this Twitter conversation reveals the source of the Ant-Man model, which is lifted from Marvel: Contest of Champions.

Marvel: Contest of Champions is a mobile game that included Ant-Man in an update.

Recently, the early-circulating logo images of Marvel vs. Capcom 4 also turned out to be fake. Maybe it’s time for fans to just make their own Marvel vs. Capcom 4–they seem to have started already. Stay tuned to SRK as the PlayStation Experience unfolds.

Street Fighter V Wins Best Fighting Game at “The Game Awards”

Street Fighter V has had something of a rocky time in its first year. The game launched with what many felt was not enough content–particularly single player modes–and left a bad taste in many players’ mouths. However, Capcom has spent the past ten months supporting the game, adding more and more content.

It seems that that work has paid off: at tonight’s The Game Awards, Street Fighter V won the Best Fighting Game award. The game beat out other nominees Killer Instinct Season 3, Pokkén Tournament, and The King of Fighters XIV.

This win is notable in that the choice comes on a wave of community support, with fans supporting the game on Twitter with the hashtag #TGAStreetFighterV right up to the start of the show. This shows how much support the game actually has in the community, despite the issues that it had at launch.
