Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Announced (Rocksteady, 2022, PS5/XSX/PC, 1-4 Player Co-op or SP with Bots)

Being in Arkhamverse doesn't even make sense based on the trailer. It's like they heard ppl are disappointed this being reboot and they just shove that in.
It's weird how Gotham Knights which refers to events in AK is a reboot and this one which feels so different in tone and feature characters looking different or supposed to be dead is Arkhamverse.

Yeah that's why I don't like that
+ the storytelling/production value is so downgraded compared to a full single player game (like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man)
Maybe they will avoid these problems but for now I doubt it
dont worry about fighting evil superman. the whole JL is evil so you can fight evil everybody. variety!
Wouldn't surprise me if co-op was included because then your friends see the cool MTX items you bought and it motivates them to also buy cosmetic items in the store.
If developers don't make the game for 8th gen, it doesn't work on the 8th gen, it's as simple as that.
Arkham Knight is still one of the best looking games of the generation so I'm very intrigued to see what Rocksteady does with next gen power.
I would have liked them to do a Singleplayer focused game. That even works with squad based games.
as others have said, it really reminds me of sunset overdrive. i mean it could be cool but i'm not blown away by the concept of playing a third person shooter/brawler with these 4 characters. it's nothing that gets me excited like a batman beyond game would do. depending on how they are planning to monetize the game it might completly kill my interest.
I'm not 24/7 on my PC so you may understand I don't catch every new thread here, but thanks I guess.
This game sure seems slimy. Most big games feel designed by committee these days but I was hoping that Rocksteady had more leeway after the way they handled Batman.
CG trailer was lame but it was a really fun trailer. Outkast being used made me stupid happy too.
Deadshot = Iron Man
Harley Quinn = Black Widow
King Shark = Hulk
And well, Boomerang is there with a gun (wtf?), maybe Hawkeye?
It's GaaS just like Marvel's Avengers, it seems obvious to me. Likely with a single player like that one, so as long as the combat is complex and interesting like the one we are getting, it might be good.
Hopefully, Rocksteady Studios can become a decent workplace for their employees by 2022 so I can enjoy this as well.
Exactly my first impression. Like someone slapped an annoying IP over S.O.
I'm glad its only 4 because it means they can work on polishing each of them. Too many characters and they start feeling less unique
I mean you can play solo and switch characters
Why are people taking the word bots in a weird way lol
OP

nope. you have to play it with bots if playing solo. not a big deal considering you can switch between them though. think of it like a third person x-men legends.
You're right, they'll make a detailed Metropolis open-world for two Suicide Squad games.
This is a third person shooter, no point in trying to link characters to others.
This totally reads as games as a service to me. Unless they are doing some next level, story-driven, co-op that just happens to also be on like a 7-8 year dev cycle? Think about that for a moment and it should become clear that they see dollars coming from persistent online games and want a piece of that action.
Obviously I hope I'm wrong.

yes!!
but maybe they are going to be released with more than a year from each other...
I think publishers doesn't care anymore.
it looks that to them, if the game has multiplayer component and possibly some kind of post content that can be sold separatEly they are fine...
look at assassins creed games! Almost a year franchise that keeps adding payed content almost at same time they will release other.
Wait
Do we know if Suicide Squad is GaaS? Like all we know is that its 4 player Co-OP.
OP

yeah i'm seeing people in this thread reassure themselves this isn't a GaaS from the trailer
look at it from a business perspective, you don't invest this much money and time for a one-off. they're definitely going to be milking the cow for a good few years after release with content updates and maybe expansions.
Not *every* single one. There's still Miles Morales & Spider-Man :)
I'm not saying it should be a solo experience with one character, but I don't think it would hurt if there were short sections or areas where you play as 2 of the 4. The entire game having all 4 characters ALWAYS together just seems like a bad move imo, but we'll see. Not much to go on at this point.
Really??
apart from Sony, what other big westerns publishers are using the majority of their developers to create big single player story driven games?
That was a fun trailer and the game sounds cool. Can't wait to see more.
I don't even think people know what they mean when they cry about GaaS for the millionth time. It's not a genre.

I was honestly expecting nothing with this game and was still disappointed. I really, really don't like the character designs, the concept just shows no one learned anything from the original movie (that I am assuming was the reason this game was greenlit in the first place), and it just looks like another generic GAAS-fest.
Yeah, this never really meant anything. The only major game getting cross gen from Microsoft is Halo infinite from what I can tell. Expect Xbox one to be left behind in 2022.
There's going to be eventually be a Batman + Gotham Knights vs. Superman + Suicide Squad game or story is the vibe I'm getting.
Keighley seems to think it's CG. With it being a 2022 release, CG makes sense.
Activision published Sekiro, Nintendo has lots of SP games like BotW, Capcom published RE7, RE 2 Remake and DMC 5, EA published SW Jedi Fallen Order, Bethesda published Prey, Dishonored 2 and DOOM Eternal, Take 2 published RDR 2, Sega publishes Yakuza. Cyberpunk is out soon.
You think Resident Evil Village, Ghostwire Tokyo, Hitman 3, Deathloop, Starfield, Elden Ring, Bioshock 4, Breath of the Wild 2 and many others will be MP focused?
SP fans have nothing to worry about, but fact of the matter is that most players want to play MP. Look at how big Fortnite, CoD, Mario Kart and Fall Guys are.
