[Doom85]

Unless they have done a lot to make the character’s move sets more interesting instead of just being primarily what looks to be an average quality third person shooter, I’ll pass. I’m beyond ready for DC video games that aren’t Batman or Injustice, but this ain’t it, chief.

 

[TexMex]

I know there's a lot of negative sentiment but I'm excited for co-op with friends. I trust Rocksteady at this point until they give me a reason not to, they've earned benefit of the doubt.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

My heart goes out to them

 

[ADiTAR]

From the people who brought you Anthem, The Avengers, and RedFall.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Shoot the weak spot!

50/50 chance it’s dogshit.

Final boss of the game:

 

[Kurotri]

From the amazing Arkham trilogy to this, with no releases inbetween and a 9 year dev gap. It's fucking tragic.

 

[Chuck Berry]

This is gonna be good

 

[Ovek]

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

PLEASE be good. The arkham games are some of my most favorite games.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Time to pay the piper for your greed Warner Bros

 

[Urban]

 

[Dick Jones]

Good times for that 3% of Playstation and 6% of Xbox.

 

[Mowcno]

Now we find out if they changed anything underneith or if they've just put a dress on a pig.

I don't see how this could turn out good.

 

[Luipadre]

 

[TidusYuna]

They make a live service game for Suicide Squad. Its like they know whats about to happen.

 

[winjer]

I nearly felt of my chair with so much excitment....

 

[Hugare]

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, 'cause the Arkham Trilogy was just so, so good, that they earned it

But Sefton Hill leaving, the guy who directed the Arkham Trilogy and was co founder of the studio, is not a good sign.

There were many talented people there, so if even 40% of those people are still there, then theres hope

 

[MiguelItUp]

Oh boy, this will be fun to watch unfold lmao.

 

[SJRB]

 

[Punished Miku]

It's probably going to be better than people expect, but they will not ever admit that.

Exoprimal is fun and is mostly a co-op PvE TPS. That's what this is.

Biggest issues facing this game are going to be the price, and the monetization shit. It remains to be seen how much of a story / campaign there is so the fact they're leading episode 1 with story tells me its probably decent. And I think it will be a unique spectacle to take on Justice League heroes as villains.

Dear Rocksteady,

 

[Stamps1646]

 

[tamago84]

 

[semiconscious]

i have to admire rocksteady's 'never say die!' attitude. but i still remember back to when it was their games that i admired most...

 

[Stafford]

I love their games, even if Arkham Knight was easily their worst Batman game. I really hope they surprise me with a great game here, but I'm not holding my breath.

Really wish that Damian Wayne game had come to fruition instead. But we'll see.

 

[arkhamguy123]

Literally nobody gives a fuck

No one cares

 

[Moses85]

will they announce again a delay?

Or the cancelation?

 

[Imtjnotu]

this is going to be Gotham Knights bad isnt it....

 

[TheKratos]

What has Ricksteady done since the last Arkham game? Have they been really doing fuck all for ten years? Then they come up with this trash that needed a rework.

 

[kruis]

The sooner Suicide Squad is released, the sooner the devs can focus on a new single player gam featuring Batman. Let’s get this over with asap.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Can't think of anything more greedy than selling a gaas game at a 70$ price tag

 

[wondermega]

Absolutely everyone expected Guardians to be Garbage(ians) and the sentiment ahead of launch was exactly the same as you see here, and that game turned out pretty great. Now obviously this is a very different dev with a very different type of game, so it's still up in the air. Anyway I am interested to see what happens..

 

[Stafford]

Yeah it's kinda crazy, isn't it? I remember a few years ago a dev from Rocksteady tweeted that he couldn't wait to show what they were working on. It was then rumored they were making a Damian Wayne game, but there was also a rumor about another DC character they were making a game of instead.

But then their game was finally announced and it's SS. I'm guessing WB pushed them into this.

The sooner Suicide Squad is released, the sooner the devs can focus on a new single player gam featuring Batman. Let’s get this over with asap.

Hope so man. With this GaaS push by WB I fear the worst.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I know everyone is ready to dunk on this game. And with WB's track-record, I don't blame people for be being reticent in regards to what's been shown. But I don't think it ever looked outright bad and I'm more than willing to give another co-op superhero game a shot even if Arkham Knights was a bit of a dud. It should be an easy knock out of the park in principle, but we've not got a co-op superhero game that checks all the boxes yet. Maybe this one will be a decent evolution of the premise.

I'll remain cautiously optimistic, but I don't have a lot of confidence. I hope they really have something cool to show, it's been a long time coming from them and there last showing felt a bit flat.

This is how you get a Cyberpunk 2077 or Starfield kind of launch.

 

[Liamario]

Why did they delay it? I imagine they've dialled back some things (which will be reintroduced later). I think it's important that games like this aren't supported unless they're free.

because it was so horrible looking and everyone made fun of it.

The Rocksteady that made Arkham is long gone dude. It's a lot more likely they get shut down when this inevitably bombs.

Big time

I dont think the devs will exist anymore after this

Also remember, the founders bailed out months ago, along with the many that have left over the years that made the Arkham games what they were.
