The features contained within the extras allow the player to view statistics of every game mode, alongside the win and loss percentages of every character and progression rewards for dozens of challenges from your customised Hero Card; view match replays of recent matches; and more besides.
Nightwing does not officially return, although can be closely resembled by unlocking the Staff of Grayson ability in addition to various gear sets and shaders for Robin to look akin to Nightwing. It is worth noting that Brainiac is not immediately available as a playable character with the best method of unlocking Brainiac being completing the story mode. Injustice 2 contains a vast range of fighting moves including combos that can be chained together from combining light, medium and heavy attacks in addition to powers that are specific to each superhero or villain such as Batman having up to three mechanical bats to throw at enemies, while Scarecrow unleashes some of his nightmare toxin.
A clash allows human or A. One of the most foreboding characters to fight throughout the entire roster has to be Scarecrow due to the long range attacks from a sickle that are extremely hard to evade even when in midair, while his super move tears open a portal that drags the opposing fighter through it via a large chain into a nightmare scenario in which a giant Scarecrow smashes the superhero or villain into the ground. Environment design is rather varied comprising of 12 arenas including some arenas that feature two stages that can be chosen between to set the preference of where to start the fight.
Every stage depicts their comic book origins as accurately as DC comic book fans would have anticipated, while destructible elements and arena transitions present an appropriate layer of interactivity to the environments.
Injustice 2 features downloadable content in the form of pre-order character Darkseid, while the Ultimate Pack season pass provides all of the additional content from the Ultimate Edition for players who own the standard edition. Control optimisations include tapping the top left of the touch screen to change stance and simultaneously tapping the top left and right of the touch screen to perform a special move, therefore providing a control scheme that is as fluent as the DualShock 4 controller.
The fluency of the control scheme culminates in the same home console experience during remote play which is quite amazing due to the amount of combinations available to perform such a wide range of fighting moves without L2 and R2, while the capability of customising the control scheme results in a definitive control scheme to suit every player during remote play. The controls are appropriately mapped to the DualShock 4 as they always feel extremely responsive, especially considering the quantity of combinations from the vast amount of fighting moves with four preset control schemes and two customisable control schemes to choose from.
The default control scheme consists of pressing square to perform a light attack; pressing triangle to perform a medium attack; pressing X to perform a heavy attack; pressing O to perform a character power; pressing L1 to perform a throw; pressing R2 to perform a meter burn; pressing R1 to interact with the arena; pressing L2 to flip stance; combining any of the basic fighting moves into a powerful combo; changing the direction of the left analogue stick or pressing up, down, left or right on the d-pad to move your character and position your character in accordance with the fighting move; pressing the share button takes you to the share feature menu; and pressing the options button to display the pause menu.
The DualShock 4 controller vibrates after an enemy attack has made impact with your fighter with the severity of the punch, kick, grapple, character power or special move resulting in a subtler or heavier vibration.
The lack of touch pad implementation is surprising given the amount of detail in the preset control schemes and the quantity of freedom offered to players throughout every alternative button in the two customisable control schemes. The touch pad could have provided an alternative to the analogue sticks and d-pad in regards to swiping in the appropriate direction to move your character, while tapping the touch pad could have just as easily provided an alternative for the light, medium and heavy attacks or character powers.
The lack of light bar implementation is also surprising as it could have formed an alternative HUD by producing various shades of colour to represent the remaining health of your fighter or a colour tone unique to each character.
There is a noticeable improvement in graphical capabilities when comparing Injustice 2 to the first game which is powered by a customised Unreal Engine 3 that was previously utilised by Mortal Kombat X. Injustice 2 features much improved facial animations that provide greater emotional emphasis and reactions to being on the receiving end of an attack, while graphical detail has increased for not only fighters, but also environments such as Fortress of Solitude possessing particle effects that were not present in the same stage in the previous game.
PS4 Pro support provides p resolution when outputting to a 4K television, alongside enhanced textures and shadows, while super-sampling produces better graphical fidelity on a p television.
It's lovely stuff. In the here and now though, PS4 Pro evidently offers the most refined package overall. It's a solid effort from NetherRealm Studios - though again, we're seeing a p target on a high-profile console release. There's no doubt that the additional resolution and effects work hand in an improved presentation compared to base hardware, but it's still a touch disappointing to see hardware designed for 4K screens only using 44 per cent of the pixel count.
But in the absence of the PC version, the PS4 Pro release is the best we're going to get - for now, at least.
