yet another episode of 'modern game developers & the lost art of releasing finished products'...

This game is going to be woke as fuck, it's going to flop, and everybody is going to be pissed off about it. How many times do we have to watch this same disaster unfold? What a fucking joke.

Never cared for Wonder Woman. But I was all in for the nemesis system rumored to be present and returning. But I have no idea why anyone would think a Wonder Woman game would get people hyped.

Oh it absolutely is.
I also think a lot are failing to see the potential in a Wonder Woman game.

There is potential in Nemesis System with Lasso of Truth. It can work. The Lasso is approximately 150 feet long. It is able to restore people's lost memories, hypnotize people, get rid of illusions, and people who are in its circumference will be protected from magical attacks.
But I think Corporate Meddling will cause problems and ruin Wonder Woman's characterization. Although Rocksteady kind of did that already in Suicide Squad.
Must be hard to stay true to the Comics given the amount of material to work with.
If this game ever comes out I hope they use a bunch of iconic Villains from the comics. And if it does I hope they make it a simple action game and don't have heaps of padding in it's Nemesis System to artificially extend length.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I would have said that after the first movie, not after 1984 tho.

I suspect they're trying to figure how much DEI to add without making it DOA

I'm very cautious around any game with "WB" on it. Hogwarts was very solid, but Gotham Knights was average and a missed opportunity, and Suicide Squad is pure garbage (haven't played it but it looks like shit). Mortal Kombat 1 has a good fighting system but it also has a lot of shitty and boring grinding (and some of the most boring designs in franchise history).
Not expecting much from a Wonder Woman game at this point.

Leaked main character art...
Tbf The game would be dead on arrival, the Devs would be caught between making her a bog beast like the thing above to satisfy the Ree crowd or making her attractive to satisfy the core crowd who'd at least think about buying it, but a few mean tweets from some purple haired cunt and they'd resort to the above..

Yes. Could be wrong, but gonna pin most of this on WB. Monolith is a pretty competent studio and one of the few that actually still use an in-house engine instead of UE or Unity.
They also have a pretty strong track record with Blood, NOLF, FEAR and both of their LOTR titles with the nemesis system.
Good. Let Monolith do what they're good at, making complete single-player experiences.
I legit loved the first movie. 1984 was very mid and along with Gadot's pandemic antics....woof.

Some of you guys are something else when mentioning that site. I go on both and both forums and no one is triggered. Most topics between these sites share more similar comments than not. I haven't seen them mention this site at all.Resetera:

No one shall be brought before our LORD David Bowie without the true and secret knowledge of the Photoshop. For in that time, so shall He appear.
Board members and publishers need to stop making decisions on what games developers should be making. That's how we end up with passionless, homogenized garbage.

Ugh. No. From the minute the game was announced, it was said to be a single player action adventure title.
Read the description.
That might be getting in their way, actually. We always hear about how much of a pain it is to maintain an in house engine.
Dude, NOLF and FEAR were so long ago that you can be assured most of the people working there when they came out aren't there now, and haven't been for many years.
First, I don't see how that's got anything to do wit this. Second, that's just not how it's ever going to work. A studio that's owned by a publisher is using the publisher's and investor's money. They're not just going to be given 200 million dollars to do whatever. Would you okay with that?
Certainly, anyone working at a studio owned by WB must not be dense enough to expect that they won't be working on licensed IP.

Crazy how long did it take for Monolith, Rocksteady and co. to produce the content since their last release. And they are relatively big studios too.

I bet you could make a psychological study from the topics surrounding the melon and butt threads during which time of which day of the week.
There's no sense in assuming it's a fact that they started work on this Wonder Woman title right after their last game.

The only ones who were hyped for a Wonder Woman game were the execs at WB. And I reckon that even them aren't hyped anymore.
It's really a tragedy that such a cool studio like Monolith are chained to one of the worst publishers ever.

They can't figure out how to allow the player to lose without upsetting feminists.

Who asked for a Wonder Woman game?
Even though it sounds cool enough on paper, there is no market demand to justify throwing $100 gazillion and 5-6 years of development.
Make a new Batman game with the Nemesis system, or close the doors and make the Nemesis system patent-free.

You have to wonder what the hell they were doing for the 4 years up to 2021, then. Original IP? Lmao

They probably were having issues implementing all the "suggestions" the 20 DEI Sweet Baby consultants were giving them
Same problem Suicide Squad had from the looks of it

They're using the nemesis system for this game.
Sounds like both wasted a bunch of time pretending like they could make new IP.
It should be a forgone conclusion that WB owned game studios exist to make games of WB IP.
