I'm not overwhelmed or underwhelmed, just simply whelmed. Not a fan of shoehorning RPG mechanics into every game under the sun because thats how Ubisoft ruined the core of Assassins Creed to where their games are no longer really AC games.

I'll tentatively wait but I honestly don't have high hopes.
 
Spider Man had levels, but no gear bullshit, so maybe this game will just ape bits from the Spidey game like Spidey did from the Arkham games? :optimistic:
 
I'm wondering when Jim Gordon died, since he was alive after the end of the last game.
It's a new universe, unrelated to the previous games. That's why it's Gotham Knights and not Arkham Knights.

Batgirl's hair texture kept bugging me. It looks like a block, doesn't flow well. Anytime I see stats and levels in an action game, that immediately puts it on my "nope" list. That's going to require grinding out and microtransactions. Assassins Creed did it to the point where you couldn't stealth kill high level enemies. Just became a grind fest and action game. Same thing here. Get the idea that there is going to be grinding, especially when he talked about level adjusting for bosses.
 
Kinda weird that Damian was left out?

The game looks fine, and I definitely see more potential in it than Suicide Squad, but I hope it is not a grind fest. Also, can we get a city of fear portion, I was so underwhelmed by Scarecrow in Arkham Knight and am desperate for a utilization similar to Asylum.
 
At least it’s not an online service type of game like the Avengers game is. Batman isn’t dead in this game he got captured by the Court of the Owls.
Spoiler that shit.

Tbf, its pre-alpha footage(x to doubt but I'm not a game designer so idk) most of the visuals and texture images will change.

To all the people saying it's not an Arkham game, the art style is definitely similar to the Arkham series on purpose. They are trying it to cash in, I think the complaints/praise that stem from that are justified imo. Arkham's combat isnt suitable for an online experience, hopefully they create something fun and appropriate. So far it's not doing it for me.

DC Online had this gameplay and type of game and had more variety than 4 different batman types. You're spot on with your Assassin Creed comparison imo, hopefully the game will find its audience.
 
Cringeworthy trailer. BWAAAAAAAAH *lame pose*
 
Honestly, this title was the highlight of DC’s show today. Everything else just feels underwhelming.

I would have thought RockSteady’s title would be the hype announcement, but Suicide Squad, really? Is this franchise popular, and I mean popular outside of the obvious Hot Topic clown? I cannot see the appeal of the Squad, they feel like DC is trying to make them artificially popular. They want another Teen Titans, but Teen Titans actually had a lot to like, even to more non-comic types. If they wanted to do a more Arkham style game, they probably should have just made a Robin and Titans title. The money that would pour in from Raven alone would be legendary.

As for the movie announcements, just eh.. Wonder Woman looks fine, and my thoughts on Suicide Squad are already known now.

As for this title, I can see it being really good. The dynamic city changes could be very interesting as ice falls when Freeze attacks and so on. Plus, playing as Knightwing and Batgirl seems cool to me.
 
HOLY SHIT I PREDICTED THIS YEARS AGO

after I first played Arkham knight I had an idea for an Arkham sequel exactly like this
 
Not any real indication of just what kind of game it is. With four characters, is it multiplayer?
Some sort of GTA V situation where you can swap between them would be my guess.

Or, if they want to have it baddie centered, they could flip it and have Deathstroke takes down the Titans. If nothing else he could have a fun variety of playstyles built into one character.

Suicide Squad just doesn't offer enough likeable characters to interest me.

So basically Judas Contract the game?

Maybe have Terra as the second playable character.
 
Ehh. I can't say I'm particularly hyped for this but I'll give it a chance. If they plan to add characters hopefully they add Cassie Cain and Stephanie Brown.

So far I'm more interested in this than what little they've shown of Suicide Squad.

I'm not sure I want to open up THAT can of worms. In any case a Teen Titans game, from whatever perspective, could be fun. Even if it was just a 90s multiplayer beat em up. I'd take it.

That's retarded since it starts literally how the last game ended.

EDIT:
Apparently Rocksteady's Suicide Squad game is going to be set in the Arkham Universe, and this one isn't. Even DC's games have a confusing as fuck connection to each other.

EDIT 2:
OK, so, apparently the Suicide Game is its own universe too, because the Deadshot in this one is black, and the one in the Arkhamverse was white. What the fuck?

We see different Batgirl and different Robin costumes in the trailers released so far. Pretty damn likely the game is looting and gear based. Aka microtransactions everywhere. Especially with the knowledge that it will have a level system and level gated missions.

I think it will be level based. As they increase in levels their outfits change. And they probably unlock new perks/abilities. That's the sort of system thats popular at the moment. Watch Dogs Legion was planning on having a similar system but scrapped it during playtest a year ago.


Well that sure was...trailery. I don't care for Robin's tunic thing or the neon in the aesthetic. But Red Hood's playable. My interest is piqued.

Is that who that guy is? I thought Red Hood was some girl that wanted to become a vigilante because she had a crush on Robin. But then again, I don't keep up with these things the way I used to.

Red Hood is Jason Todd, the second Robin that the Joker killed and was later resurrected.
