So...the Batmobile and it's over-use in Arkham Knight, is on par and comparable to the Suicide Squad Kills The Justice League's impact on Warner Bros and DC Comics videogames, and comic book games in general? You sure about that?

You need to remember that Sefton was the lead on Suicide Squad for the majority of its development cycle (which spanned 10ish years). He ain't innocent here.

in fact, being familiar with his interviews and how he came across during the promotion of Asylum, City and Knight. I would not be surprised if the more controversial aspects of that game's story and gameplay were his ideas.

Just look at this part from the game's wikipedia page, I like Sefton, but it's clear that he was a big part of why the game was fucked.

Rocksteady co-founder Sefton Hill also tried to introduce a complex vehicle system late in development before it was ultimately scrapped.

Anybody pleased that Rocksteady are working on Batman again needs their head examined. It’s fucking TERRIBLE news.

Whaaat? That sounds exactly how Lex Luthor would talk.

On a serious note, holy shit that is heavy-handed. Laughably so.

There is so much contempt behind it.

I don't want to derail the thread any further but goddamn did this catch me by surprise.
Have a little class about it at least. Juvenile and amateurish.

Wokeflation is real.

Wokeflation is real.

I really need to stop reading pcgamer as it's horrific.

On topic, Rocksteady are dead to me, thanks for the fantastic batman games, RIP.

[danklord]

Batman Beyond or nothing else.

 

[simpatico]

The people who will be hyped for the impending Mass Effect announcement will also fall for this one.

 

[NomenNescio]

More like "Rock-unsteady".

If they're made by the same guy then yes. (And Sefton absolutely was a big part of Suicide Squad, he's just the cuck who escaped before his Hindenburg crashed).

Also wtf do you mean by "impact on DC Comics"? It's a take on fictional characters, my copy of Killing Joke didn't spontaneously combust when they released the Suicide game.
