Spoiler: the reveal is it's a GaaS.

I hope it is, if done right it can be amazing.

Most of my favorite games this gen have been GaaS ill be brutally honest. Such as Sea of Thieves and Halo Infinite is shaping up really solid as well with the way its being planned. Ill probably get flamed but I will never lie about my honest opinion cause I do not sugar coat crap.

Are there bad GaaS games? Absolutely. But that can be said about anything.

Nope. fair enough. If you like 'em, you like 'em.

Flipside is, anything that's created to be a GaaS always suffers in the storytelling department. The single player experience is also spoiled. Then there's the whole issue of mtx, and the never ending endgame stuff, that really doesn't suit this kind of IP well at all.

I have zero interest in a DC Comics game that has no real resolution, constantly tries to get me to spend more money, and makes me play with other disgusting human beings. It would be a massive downgrade from Rocksteady's previous DC work, and I hope I'm not right about it.

 

[Kuranghi]

Well at least it won't be long to find out if it looks good or if I'll want to be taken back to the Arkham days (right when City is about to release) using a memory erasing machine.

I really wanted to like Marvels Avengers. The gameplay, combat and the stories were actually quite good at launch, but the issue was lack of variety and diversity in content itself and it was just too same. I heard the Wakanda release was well recieved and that they are reworking the gear and end game stuff for the end of the year. I think it has massive potential because Marvel Avengers has amazing Superhero fantasy that's really well done. Thor and Hulk are so much fun to play but the content needs to be better.

No u.

 

[MDSLKTR]

The faster they release this shit the faster they go back on Batman. By the time we get a new one the whole marvel universe will be on ps5.

 

[TrueLegend]

Rocksteady is making this. So the story will make it or break it. I don't think gameplay will change much.

[Dacon]

Good news we're gonna have news!

Fuck off lmfao.

 

[Bridges]

Kinda bums me out that it sounds like they're leaning more into the co-op shooter angle. Was hoping for Arkham combat with friends, but maybe that's what we'll get with Gotham Knights.

I'm not a big enough nerd to know better so maybe this has always been a thing, but it's weird to see King Shark with a gun instead of just smashing people.

 

[Jack Uzi]

The tease a teaser marketing, woo.

Not sure what to think about any of this without gameplay and knowing what kind of game it even is. Really rooting for Rocksteady to deliver but at this point I just wish they made another Arkham game.

Will look amazing. Arkham Knight is still one of the best games of the gen despite launching in 2015

I trust in Rocksteady to deliver a great game

 

[retsof624]

Can’t wait for some more Rocksteady goodness. Been too long

 

[PlayedStation]

There will be so many great co-op games next year, this and Gotham Knights will be fantastic.

where is that from? is there a livestream?

 

[NeonGhost]

Have they explained how Deadshot is black yet if this supposed to take place in the Arkham universe?

 

[VN1X]

Is this going to be next-gen only or nah?

 

[KyoZz]

where is that from? is there a livestream?

No, it's from the creative director and co-founder of Rocksteady, but you will learn more tomorrow with a new trailer

Is this going to be next-gen only or nah?

Yep, PC PS5 & Xbox Series

Have they explained how Deadshot is black yet if this supposed to take place in the Arkham universe?

Yes it's in the same universe. The game is expected to take place after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight. As for Deadshot we don't know yet, he may be dead...

 

[VN1X]

The Arkham universe also has diversity quotas to reach, dontchaknow!

The other dude probably just got the boot from HR.
