It sucks that so many here are just dismissive of a Wonder Woman game being good. She's had some great runs in the comics, particularly those from George Perez*, Gail Simone, and Greg Rucka. Her first solo live-action movie was a breath of fresh air after the over bleakness that was Batman v Superman and the mess that was the first Suicide Squad. Sure, apparently the second movie sucked (I've not gotten around to it yet), but so what? Imagine if the Arkham games never existed because Batman Forever/& Robin were pieces of shit.

Like, in a world with countless medieval fantasy games, samurai/ninja games, war shooter games, I think a single Wonder Woman game can exist, LOL.

*in fact, Perez got Wonder Woman off to a great start immediately after DC's reboot in the 80's following Crisis on Infinite Earths. Superman took a while to find his footing, and Batman took a year after Crisis to get going with Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, but Diana got off to a great start immediately. Also, I read recently that a granddaughter of William Marston praised Perez's run, saying he was honoring her grandfather's legacy, which was sweet

WB's official design for Wonder Woman.
This game is no loss.

Leaked main character art...

ITT I just find out this game exists.

Nothing wrong with that pic.

Looks like a keeper for their next game. Wonder Juan.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

They're probably trying to de-GaaS'ify it after Suicide Squad lol

Probably the opposite. 7 Years. That's crazy.

1. wonder women is not popular enough for an individual game
2. wonder women is not going to be given the same "treatment" like stella blade, it will be a woke game, confirmed.


game is DOA, regardless of development issue or not.

Horizon Zero Dawn franchise does fine even with the amount of buttercups that complain about woke.

And make her a manhating feminazi

Amazonians are prejudiced against men that they ban literally all men from their island. So yes "mahating feminzis"

It would be pretty interesting if they were to genuinely flesh out and examine that aspect of Themyscira. Doubt it will happen, but what's the point in liking games if you don't have any expectations?

You can even forget the specific quality of any run or cartoon and just think about the potential.

Hopefully WB can reign things in like they did with Hogwarts so that this doesn't get caught in culture war shit. Ie devs mouthing off dumbass remarks in game or on social media, and some gamers, even if they do notice the actual "agenda", overreacting.

Greg Miller - Sources say he is still a wanker.

 

[coffinbirth]

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.

That was Bandai Namco, but yeah, wholly agreed. It's pretty gross, really.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a new IP, new world with new story and main character is a new character as well.
And i believe the "woke" part comes with the sequel.

And it has Sony AAA quality touch.

Wonder women on the other hand, its an existing character in comics and tv shows. People has their own expectation of wonder women in their mind.
It is also a game published by WB.

Soon we shall see how this game look and play.

 

[Hudo]

They're using the nemesis system for this game.

I know. But I don't have a lot of confidence that we'll see an evolution of it in this game.

 

[FunkMiller]

If true, I have zero doubt this is about WB trying to increase monetisation opportunities.

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..

Real leaked art:

This story can be told in many different ways. The society in Horizon Zero Dawn is also matriarchal and its lore is fine. From that premise, you can depict WW as a manhating feminazi or as a character with some depth and relatable. If we have to stick to the "true" Amazonian thing, WW can only be a villain. One of the most annoying trends in superhero movies nowadays is that we see characters that behave like villains portrayed as heroes. There is 0% chance that WW doesn't fall in this category.

Early gameplay has leaked

Game companies need to get back to hiring nerds that have a passion to make cool stuff and not the communist they have been.

Just only one tribe is matriarchal in horizon, the nora.
(Just an fyi)
