"I Have Heard Rocksteady's Next Game Is Suicide Squad" - Imran on Kinda Funny

Yeah, it's absurd how people act about that movie. You'd think it killed their pet or something lol. It wasn't even that bad, there's been far worse superhero movies. Maybe people don't realize it wasn't just a movie concept. It's been around in the comics since the '80s.
Let's assume the movie never existed.
Who wants to grind for gun drops in the DC universe.
What about the DC universe suggests a game where you grind for a shotgun that has +13% stopping power instead of +10% stopping power.
I mean I think a Suicide Squad game could be really darn cool, but the movie really did a number on people.
I'm with ya man. Aside from relying on Joker a bit too much for my liking, Rocksteady did such a great job with most of Batman's villains. I would've loved to see their take on Lex, Metallo, Bizarro, Parasite, Zod, etc.
...Eh.
Interest-levels will be determined by the in-game roster. Of course, it's gonna have characters that are prominent in other current ongoing media like Harley, Deadshot, Shark, Croc, Ivy, etc. I'd even expect Tiger, because he's one of the team's OGs.
I'm more interested in seeing a few more surprising picks, since this version of the team doesn't "have" to play by the comics' rules.

Unless it's From Software I imagine ERA would be a bummer to read for a lot of studios *runs*
Well if you imagine it as the worst possible game, I guess.
If it's actually a GaaS, then Suicide Squad makes sense. You could even be making your own character and if you die you may make a whole new one. Could work, but might suck!
I think it's a different rumor. The other one was the canceled game by WB Montreal iirc. I know there were several canceled projects.
Could turn out good I guess, even if on paper I'm not exactly as excited for a -- most likely -- multiplayer game from Rocksteady.
Suicide Squad as a team is really cool though, but the movie was a lot of people's introduction to it sadly.
It'll definitely need a good reveal to get a lot of people onboard that wouldve otherwise probably been interested.

If there's no Polka Dot Man and Condiment King, then what's even the point?
I haven't read the older ones but I thought the Adam Glass stuff was decent, and I didn't love the movie but yeah, it brings out a lot of hyperbole in people.
Whatever Rocksteady is making, it's a loot grind game that probably has a lot of guns and is probably Destiny-like.
I'm fine with Suicide Squad, provided the roster is good. The possibilities are pretty endless, given how often the team has changed. Besides the mainstays like Harley, Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, and Deadshot, you also have: Deathstroke, Bane, Killer Frost, Killer Croc, Black Manta, Cheetah, Parasite, Reverse-Flash, and many more to choose from. Poison Ivy and Talon were intended to be on the Suicide Squad at one point; Talon would fit particularly well if it's going to be connected to WB Games Montreal's Court of Owls game in any way.
So a different WB studio was working on that Suicide Squad game?
Yeah, if it's GaaS I assume you make a character. A perma-death toggle seems almost inevitable given the franchise.

We even got a glimpse of their Lex Luthor. Remember the voicemail?
As someone who tracks WBM and Rocksteady's every move, I can confirm they have not. This is all accurate.
What are you basing this on? Is that from this video?
I had always heard the Suicide Squad game that got canned was from WB Montreal, but I may be mistaken. I know there was also a Batman game that got canceled that was also supposed to be them, so I might have those flip-flopping.
I feel bad for them if it's true. The masses likely will not be pleased. I don't think anyone wanted to return to ground-level small-time shit after the Arkham series scope kept expanding. I think nearly all DC fans wanted Supes or a Lantern game or something similar. Something large scale where people could point to it and say "Hey, it's possible to do these characters justice." and further open the door for even more ambitious characters and teams. But maybe I'm completely wrong.
Is this a deleted scene/out-take from the chemical bath sequence?
Well, it's a good concept! A bunch of rotating villains that you can kill or write off when you need to, going out to hunt down other criminals against their will? I can see the appeal, even if they have yet to hit the landing in a non-comic medium yet
There are much better teams in the DC Universe that I would have been a lot more interested in. Do an Outsiders game, a Young Justice game, a Titans Game, a Justice League game.
At least then people would recognize the characters because the majority of people's frame of reference for Suicide Squad is the movie, which has less than a poor reception nowadays.
I'm interested to see how the game turns out though, but I do agree with the sentiment that grinding for gear with a team I'm not a fan of is a bigger ask than playing as some of my favorite DC characters (Nightwing/Batgirl/Static/Starfire/Blue Beetle/Red Robin/Donna Troy.)

They have hired a lot of weapon/loot designers and GaaS focused people.
Rocksteady Hires Product Manager Specializing in GaaS
This comes from the Batman: Arkham subreddit. Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/BatmanArkham/comments/8mk5rv/rumorsleaks_megathread/dzohrg6/ In the post, written by reddit user virgilhawkins17, they share a linkedin profile from a product manager who works for WB Game. The profile...

WB Montreal had both a Damien Wayne and Suicide Squad game in the works at various points, and both got canceled. Which explains why they haven't released anything in 7 years lol
More likely you'd replace Condiment King with another A-Lister, and none of them die. It's just villains being forced to go on missions.

As a game it has a ton of cool possibilities. I tried to tell em lol
As I posted years ago, make it the next Overwatch with unique DC characters instead of just another licensed action-adventure game
Which at that point, what's even the point?
Then they're not the "Suicide Squad," they're just the "Squad" lol.
