I disagree, Netherrealm is one of the few fighting game developers who actually have a full singleplayer story to all their games so if anything they will definitely flesh out a full story and probably develop different endings and for each character. Their production would be very high as well. This is also a trademark of the studio so you know that KI would look awesome in their hands. I also believe they will keep the gameplay the same because it would not be Killer Instinct if you up and changed the gameplay and style. It would not be uncommon for them to hire a team more suited for KI and I doubt that WB will be using Injustice for anything so who knows if that license cannot just be purchased by MS. |
I agree with all of that though. My concern is them changing up the gameplay to make it unique to them, trying to put their own Netherrealm stamp on things, I mean, I sorta understand a studio wanting to make their own mark, someone coming up to you and being like "make this, exactly this way, don't change it at all" to someone with the pedigree of Netherrealm might not be appealing to them. Cause Killer Instinct doesn't need to change the gameplay at all, it just needs to be a clone of KI 2013 but with more characters and a fleshed out story, I'm not sure if that would be appealing to Netherrealm. Sorta like 343 taking over Halo, they tried to make their own mark, for a while they tried to move away from certain aspects of Bungie era Halo, Halo 5 tried even further with that, now they realised that was a mistake and we have Halo Infinite which looks a lot closer to the Bungie era Halo. In fairness, some things went well, some things didn't go well, my point is just it's another large studio taking over an IP and trying to put their own stamp on it to make it unique to them. I wouldn't object to them setting up another team though, led by a former Iron Galaxy employee maybe? Netherrealm and Iron Galaxy are both based in Chicago. All this said, I know Netherrealm is one of the best fighting studios in the industry, no doubt about that, I also have the same reservations when folk casually suggest a Halo game by ID Software too though |
