I am currently playing Arkham City. I love it. The care for the legacy of Batman shines through the game.

I hope they do something they are passionate about.

thirs will not happen rocksteady is crud now Im sorry my friends

 

[Hudo]

new IP created by themselves. Break free from the capeshit.

 

[Kings Field]

Divorce WB

 

[Ozzie666]

A rated R mature themed Crow game based on the original 1994 movie. Make it dark, bloody, emotional with great combat. Sue Ubisoft for using Bird Vision, the Crow did it first with his own Crow vision. Parkour and diving into items that break your fall, Assassins creed stole all of it.

 

[Jaybe]

Imagine having the whole of DC universe available to make a game from, and they choose the suicide squad. I can’t trust decision-making from them.

 

[Nickolaidas]

I mean... haven't the original founders already left and taken most the talent with them?

Yup. They're Rocksteady in name only. Just like Bioware and Blizzard.

 

[SNPlayen]

Suicide Squad remake

 

[SJRB]

Probably stop being jerked around and return to making the games that gave them the once legendary status that has now been completely watered down.

 

[buenoblue]

Yeah the two studio heads left. Rocksteady is dead now.

Step 1: Never let this group near your game again https://sweetbabyinc.com/

Step 2: Fire everyone in the company who has pronouns in their online bios

Step 3: The arkham batman is done, that world is finished, one day id like a completely new batman world ( base it on michael goldens art), for now forget batman

Step 4: Make a TMNT game in the style of the arkham games in a big open late 80s style NYC ( but takes place now) , TMNT is perfect for a number of reasons,
- tmnt brawlers have been done to death, outside that the games have sucked,
- you have an incredible cast of interesting characters and lore you can slowly introduce with each sequel
- the combat would fit perfect..being able to swap between turtles at any point like in AK
- Turtle Van!
- this was actually a rumour some years back for rocksteady but it ended up not happening

 

[DonF]

can a company survive after a 12 year old in development flop??

 

[Arsic]

I could see them doing a remake of the original trilogy first before moving into a new project altogether.

Step 1: Never let this group near your game again https://sweetbabyinc.com/

yikes, but I wouldnt blame that company, I blame the devs that take their advice.

Sable is cool, whereas you can really see that spiderman and gow r got influenced by them...and goodbye volcano high, lol.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I selected Superman because that’s what I’d want to see.

Batman would be the no risk, more sensible option for their next game.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Gotham By Gaslight.

Batman crossed with Bloodborne.

Prints money.

I'm sad this got cancelled:

 

[Evil Calvin]

What should Rocksteady do next?​

Close shop!

 

[Dacvak]

Where’s the “close studio” option?

 

[Jesb]

Not sure it matters at this point..,

 

[WorldHero]

Batman or TMNT would be best

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Option 1) Batman Beyond; Open-world; Single-player experience.

Option 2) Teen Titans; Open-world; Wouldn't mind drop-in and drop-out co-op, but single-player has to be heart of the experience.

Option 3) Long shot, but if they could somehow get rights to Spawn IP...

 

[Firestartah]

Since games take 6y+ these days, its depressing to even think of the year the next game might be out. In what situations we will be, how we will be. It is unsustainable and depressing. They wasted so much time since AK and now we might need to wait total 15 years since AK to get a traditional game from them. It's just wrong.

 

[Quixz]

Nothing - they should give up making games LOL

 

[proandrad]

Single player Batman beyond please. They need to go back to what they are good at.

 

[VolticArchangel]

After the recent magnificent outing of SS, Rocksteady doesn't get to have the final say on that.

They should consider themselves lucky if they're spun into a support/porting studio for other WB titles, and not shut down.

 

[Dazraell]

I would prefer them to make a brand new IP that doesn't rely on DC property, or picking something from Warner Bros library that could give them a chance to make similar impact for this brand as Arkham Asylum did for Batman / DC games. Maybe The Matrix?

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

The gamers should be happy if there is even a next game.

I wouldn't be surprised If the Studio closes down just like Volition after the Saints Row reboot flop.

 

[Randall365]

Has any studio nose-dived into the shit so hard?

A 4th Arkham, avoiding woke revisiting of every Batman concept, would have been a licence to print money.

Good job Warner Bros!

 

[touchfuzzy]

Layoffs?

 

[TransTrender]

Layoffs?

WB earnings come out tomorrow so maybe we'll know then.
But yes I expect layoffs.

 

[Darsxx82]

A single player game i could say....but and then I remember that it's going to take another 6-7 years and I get depressed and stop caring

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Batman but made like Harry Potter where you build up a badass Wayne Manor over time as the game progresses (similar to Hogwarts)

New vehicles. New tech. Caves where you can try out new platforming skills that are gated like metroidvania, etc

 

[Nankatsu]

Get Batman back to form in order to get Spider-man back to form too.

 

[Zannegan]

Make a sequel: Suicide Squad vs the Social Justice League, with Harley and Co. viciously murdering the modern day heroes at Sweet Baby Inc. Melee attacks only.

 

[intbal]

Nothing.

They made Wonder Woman look like this:

They should get out of gaming.

 

[Romulus]

 

[Majormaxxx]

Just give up lol
It's over

 

[Majormaxxx]

Nothing.

They made Wonder Woman look like this:

They should get out of gaming.

Remember how poison ivy and catwoman looked? I member

 

[Spyxos]

Survive this year.

 

[Ribi]

Where is the fire everyone and close the studio option?

 

[diffusionx]

Close their doors

 

[VolticArchangel]

Has any studio nose-dived into the shit so hard?

BioWare, Volition, Platinum Games (Babylon's Fall), Crystal Dynamics, EA DICE, 343i

 

[FeralEcho]

File for bankrupcy and gtfo of the gaming industry.

These hacks are not the same talented developers that made the Arkham games.

 

[Shut0wen]

Anything single player but i hope to god someone at warner greenlights a batman in the future game, huge missed potional

 

[Dr.Morris79]

People should recognise that studios change over time.

They aren't the same studio that made the Arkham Trilogy, that was 9 years ago, developers and talent have left, and they aren't in a position to create what we would consider a Rocksteady game.

They're dead, like every other great developer is at a certain point. Move on to the next one. Just be glad they made the games they did.

They actually are just these fuckers are to dumb to make an online game

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

Escape from New York/LA with the legend Kurt Russel voicing the character?

Now that’s something I could invest in

 

[Moses85]

Closeing their Doors

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSS!!

 

[Hemingwayoffbase]

They should sit in the corner and think about what they’ve done.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Probably getting on the Fentanyl is best for them lot now.
