I would agree but somehow WB Montreal is still standing after Gotham knights flopped

Hyped for potential train wreck. Would love it if Rocksteady found a way to convert the assets into a traditional Arkham game. But lord knows they already hired a ton of people from the Casino App industry to share their psychological triggers to get people spending money on those purps and oranges. Probably no going back.

My bet is that they spent the six months reducing the 18 different crafting materials into three and will call this "improvements."

I really wanted this to be good but I think its beyond hope. Just put it out for $40 and forget about it.

But it doesn't look like much has changed.

Or even better make it free to play.
I’m beyond curious what they’re going to show. Maybe they made the weakspots green?

Man, I feel bad for the code monkeys at Rocksteady. They know this game has "dead on arrival" written all over it and is gonna hurt even worse with it being the first game in almost nine years after the prestigious Batman: Arkham series. But all they can do is follow their manager's orders and try to survive the onslaught of online hate and possible layoffs.

Curious to see the engagement on this. They're clearly trying the same strategy CDPR is employing...

Don’t put yourself in a bubble and seriously think this. This game in itself might be doomed, but good multiplayer games still make truckloads of money.

No way they were able to completely overhaul the game in this short of a time. On the one hand, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt because of their track record, but man did they screw the pooch with that tone-deaf reveal. Don’t have a lot of hope for this one.

These 6-12 month delays are mostly for polishing and squashing bugs. At best, they'd have added a few QoL features and improved the UI slightly.
The problems with Suicide Square are more design-related issues. And as you said, those could not be fixed in such a short time, without pretty much overhauling the game.

He didn’t say no multiplayer games what so ever make a profit, he said SP games are on the rise

They’re totally going to employ classic “win back disgruntled fans” marketing and people will totally be dumb enough to fall for it

I honestly gonna watch as well because its very unlikely they changed the game in such time. Maybe they tone down or just did some tuning for presentations purposes, who knows.

Nobody will ever convince me this wasn’t a Superman vs Braniac game set in metropolis that got retooled into this garbage post management telling them to can it to make a Fortnite money maker equivalent
Not Jason Shrier, not any Twitter insider, nobody can tell me this was not that. I’d love to sign an NDA and talk to sefton hill behind closed doors about the studio post Arkham knight leading up to him quitting. Imagine all the juicy shit that would be uncovered

I KNEW it hahahahaha
Literally my comment from like 20 minutes ago called it. I’m 1min in and they’ve said “story” about 6-7 times. This is TEXTBOOK “try desperately to win back an angry fan base” marketing

Yep. So far the cutscenes looks great with good facial capture, but the open world looks much worse than arkham city from 8 years ago

Yeah... this still does nothing for me. They're desperately trying to flex the story, the cinematics, etc. They're talking about special gameplay, but it looks so... not exciting to me. They talk about it as if it's something new and different, but it really doesn't look like it at all, lmao.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Could be fun, but im simply not supporting any of WB's future GAAS trash plans. Actively ruining the industry. They can fuck off, this will flop miserably

Looks like theyre saving face by showing mostly custcenes
Still looks like a downgrade visually from Arkham Knight.
Also, all of the colors, and the look of the city, reminds me of Sunshit Overdrive

Dont you dare shittalk sunset overdrive
the lighting looks flat in this game tho, but i really want to see this in 4K, why its shit 1080p in 2023? Youtube compression destroys this

Yeah I don't care for any of these characters, and having to listen to their banter is going to be painful, especially Harley. Ugh. Even so I may pick this up depending on what else is releasing around that time.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... it looks kinda fun to play and move through the city...?
If they're really trying to win us over, then they need to let us play the game at some point before release, cuz otherwise and after Gotham Knights, very few people will buy this game at launch knowing that it's a GaaS game.

With trying to enjoy that diseaster of a game ofc lol, its all subjective ofc, so i didnt try to discourage u too much, so if u can enjoy it, more power to u ;D

I'm not saying I'll buy the game, I'm just saying that it doesn't look bad from pure gameplay perspective and the way you move through the city. But WB can sure fuck it all up (even if there's some good stuff in it) bc they're masters at doing so, especially when it comes to predatory microtransactions in a single player games alone.
