What a way to announce after half a decade

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Bit disappointed Rocksteady only make DC stuff , was hoping they would try other things, never mind.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[AV]

I'd say that was a total wet fart of a reveal, but I'm pretty sure everyone's known it was SS for a while now.

 

[Cravis]

Worst kept secret in the industry.

 

[Thicc Enigma]

Supes! Fuck yass

 

[Belmonte]

Please, no evil Superman again.

 

[Drunkensamurai]

What a way to announce it.

 

[Corpsepyre]

GaaS. Oh, goodness, NO.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Just be next-gen please please please

 

[mckmas8808]

LET'S GO!!!

 

[AV]

Just be next-gen please please please

With an August 2020 announcement? I can't see any way it won't be considering it ain't gonna release before the new boxes

 

[INC]

Harley best be in hot pants, otherwise don't bother

 

[Dick Jones]

I thought it was Batman:Court of Owls. What the fuck was that tease at the start of the year?

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Could this be a candidate for one of the surprising multiplat games being timed exclusive on PS5 Imran Khan talks about?

 

[manfestival]

Suicide Squad? Pass
Superman is a suicide squad game? Pass

 

[AceofJakes]

I thought it was Batman:Court of Owls. What the fuck was that tease at the start of the year?

Wasn't that WB Montreal?

 

[DelireMan7]

I thought it was Batman:Court of Owls. What the fuck was that tease at the start of the year?

It was WB Montreal. The Batgame they are working on will also be announce there (there was a tweet from them in June or July I think.)

 

[BaneIsPain]

About damn time. Please don’t make the same mistake of Arkham Knight port mess.

 

[Bartski]

GaaS with online co-op

 

[VulcanRaven]

I'm interested but I wish it was a Superman game. That picture looks great.

 

[SlimySnake]

If its online gaas, im out. Avengers looks pretty mediocre to say the least.

 

[AceofJakes]

Their games have always been lookers and I've enjoyed every one of them, let's see what their spin on a gaas looks like!

 

[Revolutionary]

Not what I was hoping for, but Rocksteady is an amazing studio so I have faith that it'll be great.

 

[Knitted Knight]

I'm excited to see what it's as a big Rocksteady fan. Hopefully we get more than a teaser. This is long overdue.

 

[Sygma]

SS vs JLA y'all LETS FUCKING GO

 

[hyperbertha]

Batman is just a privileged white male. Others should get their chance too.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Sounds like mp team based game where superman is the target? Like that predator game?

 

[blakdecaf]

Inject all the DC into my veins please. Make this sucker on the PS5 and let’s go.

 

[REE Machine]

GaaS with online co-op

Lmao no, sounds like avengers trash

 

[Darklor01]

From the picture, it looks like Supes is wearing his Black suit. So, he might have gone rogue. I mean, honestly, I would love a proper Supes game, but.... This could be one way to have him in a game without him being the controlled and OP character that he usually winds up being. That tends to be one of the reasons he is OP.

I think, if I were going to give a shot to creating a Supes game, I might create a story where he starts off without his powers. Slowly, give him some... and not at full strength when he gets them. Include a way to give him more and more until a climax at the end against a Doomsday like enemy.

That said, I do tend to like Rocksteady games. Let's see what happens.

 

[Rattlehead121]

Ehhhhhhhhhh

I'm going to have to see a LOT more about this one to even get remotely excited. The property is not something im a fan of.

Edit: And if it's a Gaas just like Avengers, count me out.

 

[Sub_Level]

Batman is just a privileged white male. Others should get their chance too.

The Batman game is still happening too, its just coming from the Arkham Origin team & not the Asylum-City-Knight team.

 

[Bombolone]

If its online gaas, im out. Avengers looks pretty mediocre to say the least.

I have no info, but yeah. If it's a Gaas customization! Loot drops! All these characters to create and customize!
Rocksteadys' Batman track record gives me a glimmer of hope, but the concept of a squad, and everyone chasing the Gaas model. Ehhhhhh.
If they are going to have the fidelity of a next-gen Arkham Knight AND multiple characters. WB is gonna want a return on investment.
Fingers crossed though.

 

[Sub_Level]

I'm interested but I wish it was a Superman game. That picture looks great.

One day our time will come. One day.

 

[Bartski]

let's see what their spin on a gaas looks like!

how about no.

 

[iconmaster]

I wasn't sure what all the GaaS talk was about...

Batman Arkham Dev Rocksteady Hires Product Manager Specializing in Games-as-a-Service

Rocksteady Studios, the developer behind the Batman Arkham series, is apparently actively working with a product manager specializing in GaaS for an unannounced AAA title.

[UPDATE] Rocksteady Reportedly Working on a GaaS Type of Game About a Group of Superheroes

Rocksteady is reportedly working on a GaaS type of game about a group of superheroes, rather than the rumored Superman: World's Finest.

wccftech.com

So, yeah. Unfortunate.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Yaaaaa I can't wait for them to show off the exclusive pop vinyls too

 

[Kusarigama]

At this point I am more interested in WB Montreal's Batman game.

 

[RPGCrazied]

So bizzare to do this before a Superman or Justice league game. Is the movie any good? I haven't seen it.

 

[CaptainSuperFish]

After all the hype this is how they chose to announce it? Wow... I'm not interested in the slightest anyway but i'm shocked out of all the options they had for a reveal they went with this.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

No one is really surprised by this. I'll take it over another Batman Arkham game though. I wonder how the game will play when a whole team is involved and not just a single character like Batman.

Barf. I don't bother with this type of game.

 

[Audiophile]

Please be next-gen only.

 

[Varnish La PS]

I can't wait to get a pink panties skin pack for my Batman.

 

[MiguelItUp]

There's been such a negative reaction to the tease of the announcement. I'm kind of surprised by it. It's just something saying that it's coming. I guess people would've been happier if they just didn't say anything at all? Odd.

Not sure what to expect with this, and I'm not going to get my hopes up until we see it in action. Hoping for the best.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Its kind of funny that they announce the game like this. Many have been asking them to make a Superman game for years.

 

[Darklor01]

At this point I am more interested in WB Montreal's Batman game.

I'll always be more interested in the Batman games until a standalone Supes game comes out and is actually good.

 

[rofif]

Is there anything more lame than suicide squad? Batman makes no sense in superman universe... all of those characters make no sense together.
Batman is only good because of how grounded it is
