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.
 
True, but that doesn't make it less of regressive dick move for the artform of games. It's like if Valve patented the gravity gun concept from Half-life. Now nobody can use a similar physics type gun, unless you pay up. Or as a actual case; how Sega patented minigames in loadscreens.

It's regressive as many at GDC pointed out at the time. Only Ubisoft tried their own version of the Nemesis system but they can't borrow design tropes, so their cobbled together version in AC is less fleshed out as a result. It's like unnecessarily reinventing the wheel while there is a proper blueprint right there that can be built upon.
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'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..

Time since Shadow of War's coming up to 7 years. Are they seriously that incompetent?

WB drives pretty much everything they touch into the ground

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.

I would bet money on it being this. Panic pivot.

Good. Let Monolith do what they're good at, making complete single-player experiences.

Really... who is longing for a Wonder Woman game anyway? Wonder Woman 1984 damaged the brand a lot.

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.

we're only just getting started, friend. who knows what's currently 'in the pipeline'?...

Monolith are a great studio imo and could easily make a solid Wonder Woman game.

As long as iťs a pure single player game ím very interested 👍
 
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.
 
They're probably trying to de-GaaS'ify it after Suicide Squad lol

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.

They also have a pretty strong track record with Blood, NOLF, FEAR and both of their LOTR titles with the nemesis system.
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.
 
Wouldn't surprise me, WB seem to be on a (negative) roll. Would be a real shame though, I'd like to see another great game from them using the Nemesis System.
 
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.
 
Good. Cancel that shit and let Monolith work on something that's actually cool and maybe develop the Nemesis system more.

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.
 
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.

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.
