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

Not confirmed but definitely in-engine. Just look at Harley Quinn. Her hair is angular and not moving to the air, her collar is polygonal, her shirt is polygonal, her ear is polygonal. I can't believe this is a CG trailer. I seriously can't believe we went from that CG trailer for Batman Arkham City to this (are they now downgrading their CG trailers too? ).
Batman Arkham City: Hugo Strange Trailer
The new Batman Arkham City trailer for the hot sequel to the first game. Watch Supervillain Hugo Strange closes the net on the Dark Knight.IGN's YouTube is j...

I mean, the official reveal trailer even has "Alpha Target" in its name.
Are they going to announce more characters later or are these 4 it?
Coming off that movie trailer with a million characters in it, it's a bit jarring if they limit the game to only these four.

Yeah same. Really like her voice but the face just not vibing with it at all. Trailer was great though I'm a sucker for Outkast.
You say that we're not coming off a bunch of single player superhero games and that we don't still have more to come. Why would Suicide SQUAD game not be co-op?
It is shocking though how since 2015's Batman, Rocksteady can only show a CG trailer...
Not just that, but having the entire gameplay experience be more grindy/games-as-a-service-y. Once you start going down that hole, gameplay is affected in a massive way. Having bespoke, scripted sequences with perfectly tailored story beats? Most likely out the window if you're looking to stretch an experience over months or years.
Again, I hope I'm wrong, but [broadly gestures to all the GaaS coming out of the woodwork]
Yeah, one thing I don't like about games designed specifically for co-op is that a lot of the downtime gets sanded away.
Cutscenes get shorter. Mechanics get dropped because they can't be adapted to simultaneously involve all players. Environmental storytelling becomes less important because people will just be running through the place to get to the next firefight.
And that's not even counting how segmented the games get. Mechanics need to be put in place to ensure the players don't get too far apart, or don't get stuck in an area should the other player progress.
Heck, maybe I'm still just bitter about Dead Space 3 and Fear 3.
It's just shooting? No melee at all? Wtf? I just saw the trailer, and that was the impression I got.
That's the name of the Superman in the trailer, they mention it.
Seriously? Okay, that's funny. That's what I get for watching it muted.
lol, seriously. The perfect subject matter for game designers to stretch their legs with unique ideas, and instead they just gave everyone guns.
I think I'm more of a Gotham Knights guy, that trailer did nothing for me at all. Being able to switch to the other characters sounds good though.
They really should've had Gotham Knights be the 4 player game and let Rocksteady do their thing and make an amazing single player game.

Yeah, most likely at least once.
Shame, they had some of my favorite games with the Arkham trilogy (and I don't even like comic book stuff really).
And then obviously the other stuff that's emerged, of course.
Don't like suicide squad.
Don't like co-op.
Don't like the comedic tone (especially considering that it shares a universe with the Arkham games).
Don't like GAAS.
Don't like that the release is so far away.
But the Arkham trilogy was so amazing (Arkham City is one of my favorite games ever), that I will probably give this game a chance anyway.

Yea lol Harley Quinn jokes "stupid Alpha Target, who are we supposed to kill again" then Superman shows up.
Captain Boomerang has been a white dude since the beginning.
The trailer kinda reminds me when Insomniac announced Overstrike, which was a fun and colorful trailer, then later somehow morphed into Fuse. I trust Rocksteady with their games, so I have zero complaints. Not gonna lie though, I found the Gotham Knights reveal more appealing.
You already moved the goal post by adding story driven. And then added western.
Also, why does it have to be the majority. Ubi is about 50/50. Nintendo does both, tho not story driven. I guess Activision arbitrarily doesn't count doing both.
But sure, Sony and only Sony are making single player games. Weep for your genre if you insist on tuning a lot of other things.
Yea. I understand the concern for GaaS games after how many big ones have fallen flat. But Rocksteady has a great pedigree. All the Arkhak games imo from them had great gameplay feel so I'm confident that part will feel great. And Sefton Hill did specify how they want this to have a great character driven story and they consider Metropolis a 5th character. So fingers crossed the gameplay we get next year is dope.
After the Guardian article and how they responded, I was already pretty hesitant about supporting/buying this game. The trailer made that choice a lot easier. Nothing about this is really enticing for me, the co-op, the likely GAAS, the fact that apparently it was just CGI, the once again evil Superman. If I wanted another Evil Superman story I would just wait for the next injustice honestly.
Still can't get over the fact that they are seemingly using the evil Superman schtick, again. FFS, figure something else out. There are tons of villains out there.
I reckon about as much melee as Borderlands, which... can be a fair amount with the right build.
Kind of wonder if the thought process with this was that it'd be too hard to make a video game where you play as Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, etc... but it's probably pretty easy to make a game where you are fighting them.
2022 and only a CG trailer to go on.
There is no way this is the only thing they were working on. There has to be some sort of cancelled project that we're not aware of. Seven years between games.
Crazy.

I think it's pretty obvious they rebooted this thing at least once or were even trying to do something else that got scrapped first.
Spider-Man, Infamous series, and ? I got four... Over the past two generations. Are we counting games like Control in this?
It can be co-op. Problem is, sounds like this is going to be all it will be. It legit is just sounding like War Z, Left 4 Dead, and Vermintide with superhero flavoring. Which is something I really didn't want.

yuuuuuuuup, said it better than i ever could.
compare something like assassin's creed black flag which came out at the start of this gen to assassin's creed odyssey. they feel like drastically different games when you take into account ubisoft's push for live service in their SP experiences to keep people coming back week after week. odyssey being a grindfest with MTX to ease said grindfest is no coincidence.
i think an interesting discussion could come out of how this model is affecting game design. feels like this is the way games are heading, at least with big AAAs.
"Alpha Target", or "Alpha Flight"?
Yes, I know that's Marvel. Shut up.
Seriously. It would have been so much cooler to play as actual super villains and get to hunt down the big blue boy scout and the rest of the league.
