Kotaku's Jason Schreier talks about Rocksteady's new game (says what it's not, hints about it a bit)
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Again, a few thousand internet peeps and some celebrities, got it.
Me and you both know they probably prioritize articles that will get them the most clicks.
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.
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.
- TGAs wrapping up after a bunch of lackluster announcements
- Geoff says "Oh yeah and we've got one final surprise for you"
- Lights and screens start "glitching" out, everything goes dark
- Intro theme plays
- Cryptic characters start raining down similar to the films
- Embedded is code for "Rocksteady next gen"
- Thunderous applause and insta-nuts

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.
Yeah, no one should expect further Matrix games. That IP is done.

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.
"A few thousand internet peeps"
Have you been on Twitter? Do you know what kind of social media traffic you'd have to get to reach #1 trending during E3? Hint... it's a lot.
Sure it did. New content was delivered to users over a period of months. In the case of Arkham Knight every few weeks.

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 wonder if its a successor to DC Universe Online?
More than anything I don't think you'll be playing as actual named heroes. I'm thinking create-a-character since its a GaaS.

So basically it's yet another online driven GaaS game? Kind of hard to believe WB is making Rocksteady waste their talents on something like that but that's the industry we're in now.
In 5 years there won't be anyone left who's not making superhero online shit at this rate.

Justice league dark with the current roster :D
No Constantine? Not even remotely worth it.
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
Jason'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.

For more great scoops you can find Kotaku Splitscreen on Apple Podcasts or your other favorite podcast provider.
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.
That being said, I don't think that will impact the making of a game, especially if it has a great concept, which I think Matrix lends itself well to games.
People keep saying its not Justice League, so my guess is that it's a just a generic 'DC Heroes' type name so they aren't bound by expectations and can just add in whoever they want through DLC.
you guys do realize Suicide Squad exists outside of the shitty movie right? Those posts bemoaning a possible SS game confuse me.
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.
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.
Young Justice is back because of Twitter fanfare, so you'd still be off base lol. You can write off Era, but I wouldn't recommend writing off a massive social media hub like Twitter.
Can you imagine if rocksteady is doing a marvel vs dc game...batman and the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D together? Spiderman and superman together?
I remember kotaku talking about these storylines before!
