It's not just forum users.
The frenzy that happened on Twitter and all over social media is what prompted Rocksteady to do a response. I mean there were actual famous people excited for it who tweeted about it. It was trending at #1. I think that's enough to invest in a Superman game.
It's user run but there is an entire moderating team that makes sure that stories meet certain criteria to be approved and put up on the site. So I expect them to do their job effectively :P
How weird that the same publisher scooped up the Hitman franchise. The Damien Batman game could've easily fit the bill for both single-player content and ongoing content updates much how Hitman 2 seems to be aiming to do.It was kind of hilarious, because they canceled Suicide Squad to focus on singleplayer games starting with Damian Wayne, and then 3-4 months later, canceled Damian Wayne to focus on games as a service online games.
You can tell how much the management transition caused massive thrashing at Warner Bros (both these decisions were the mostly new management IIRC).
Me and you both know they probably prioritize articles that will get them the most clicks.
If I'm not mistaken, the Matrix IP is at Monolith, who is owned by WB. So, hopefully they're done with LoTR and have moved back to that.
Don't give me false hopes. I think the license is dead and buried. As far as I know, even the Wachowskis don't want anything to do with it anymore.
That one was actually targeting to get progressively more online over time, starting with the co-op modern and the competitive mode in Hitman 2, and ramping from there according to IO, which is probably part of what sold Warner Bros on the idea.How weird that the same publisher scooped up the Hitman franchise.

That said, I do remember when Arkham Knight was supposed to have ongoing content through the "Season of Infamy" updates, but that ended up becoming just a single thing released at once.
"A few thousand internet peeps"Again, a few thousand internet peeps and some celebrities, got it.
Alright, Legion of Superheroes it is.
Superhero Destiny.
Titan -> Kryptonian
Hunter -> Speedster
Warlock -> Green Lantern
Well, they're hiring for QA people with extensive multiplayer testing experience, metagame designers, and network programmers, but also tons of scriptwriters and cutscene designers, so I'm guessing it's both online and heavily story driven.I just want to know if it's narrative-driven SP or MP-focused. Please be the former.

A few thousand forum users screeching about a nonexistant superman game is basis for a tens of millions of dollar investment ?
Press Sneak Fuck already said it's not Justice League, both on the podcast and on Twitter
Oh you...
Yeah I got that alreadyJason's hint is super vague. He's saying it was always going to be "about superheroes". But I think more specifically Jason was saying it's about a group and not just one hero, like the Arkham stuff was.

There's people in Hollywood trying to bring it back. Zak Penn(writer of X2/Avengers) has been working and meeting with WB people to try and get some sort of reboot going. All those whispers will amount to something one day, just don't know how soon.Yeah, no one should expect further Matrix games. That IP is done.
For more great scoops you can find Kotaku Splitscreen on Apple Podcasts or your other favorite podcast provider.
I mean. It's Superman. He's supposed to be one of their biggest characters ever. Certainly one of the most recognizable superheroes in pop culture. If you did a game about it, it would certainly be worth it if it were good. Don't act like this is...fucking Ultra the Multi-Alien. :P
But you forgot the GaaS part.
I have literally never seen any person with enough fame to have a verified Twitter account say that they believe in a Rocksteady Superman game.It's not just forum users.

Obfuscating the argument for a point I didnt make. I said that multimillion decisions are probably not going to get made based on twitter fanfare. I never said they shouldnt make a Superman game.
