While Injustice 2 has been out for some time, it’s just recently that the newer generation of consoles have been out, meaning that for some gamers, their first time on the fighting game will be in a 4K, HDR environment. With this in mind, the folks over at Digital Foundry have released an in depth comparison for Injustice 2, comparing both the Xbox One X version and the PlayStation 4 Pro version in a head-to-head graphics battle.
As the video above explains, the inclusion and usage of HDR helps Injustice 2 come across as a gorgeous game no matter which console you’re playing. Not only do the colors pop out more against the darker blacks found in an HDR set up, but the movement and fighting is also helped to be made better. Of course, only one console can win out, however, and you’ll have to watch the full video above to find out who that is.
If you’re still on the fence about Injustice 2, make sure to check out our review of the game:
While the sheer amount of unlockable items is impressive, the execution left a bit to be desired. If your favorite character of the bunch is The Flash, for instance, you cannot simply buy Mother Boxes which contain only items made for him; you have to purchase or open an earned box which will contain a completely random assortment of items. So expect to open a metric ton of these things before you get your character exactly how you want them. You can sell items that you don’t want/need for Source Crystals, but perhaps an online marketplace could’ve been more helpful here.
Injustice 2 may have the best single-player campaign of any fighting game. NetherRealm has hit a solid groove with their fighting games. A few new blocking mechanics help to add a touch more balance to the game’s environmental damage options, and the loot system is second to none. Microtransactions are always a tricky issue with any game, but by sticking to cosmetic items, purchases using additional cash aren’t necessary in order to get full enjoyment out of the game. Fighting game and DC fans alike should add this game to their collection as soon as possible.
Injustice 2 is now available.
