Oh it absolutely is.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.

I would bet money on it being this. Panic pivot.They're probably trying to de-GaaS'ify it after Suicide Squad lol

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

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

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

Ugh. No. From the minute the game was announced, it was said to be a single player action adventure title.I would bet money on it being this. Panic pivot.
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.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.
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.They also have a pretty strong track record with Blood, NOLF, FEAR and both of their LOTR titles with the nemesis system.
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?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.
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.

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.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.
You have to wonder what the hell they were doing for the 4 years up to 2021, then. Original IP? LmaoThere's no sense in assuming it's a fact that they started work on this Wonder Woman title right after their last game.
For real, what the fuck were they thinking. Wonder Woman is a literal nobody hero outside of the US" yay i wanna play wonder women game " said no one ever
They're using the nemesis system for this game.Good. Cancel that shit and let Monolith work on something that's actually cool and maybe develop the Nemesis system more.
Sounds like both wasted a bunch of time pretending like they could make new 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.
