Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (PS5/XSX|S/PC). Rocksteady. Out now.

The best thing about this is still the logo.

Also it being an open world city, so there must be fairly a lot of designing the city and locations plus developing the story and make sure they all fit together. It’s hardly something you would make up as you go along. Also they would have got the next gen development tools fairly two-three years ago?

I’m definitely a lot excited for this and Gotham Knights but then I’m a huge DC fanboy so a lot of bias there.

According to Jason Schrier this has been in development since 2016. Before that they were working on the Arkham VR game and spent about a year on a failed Superman/Justice League pitch. WB Montreal were working on their own Suicide Squad game which got cancelled and freed up the property for Rocksteady to take over

Still. Come 2022 that's 7 years in development.

If AAA development is going to take this long, surely console generations will have to last longer?

Just make smaller games

Indeed.

I was looking up Assassin's Creed Odyessy the other day, and to 100% it, it clocks in around 130 hours I think. RDR2 is around 150 hours. I know there's a lot of copy and paste side quest content in there, but that just seems ridiculous and I'd question how many people actually do 100% it.

I think my favourite thing about achievements/trophies is that you can look this up

It'll be single-digit-percent

Will be nice playing a DC game that isn't boring grimdark.

Surely if the stats are saying 'only 3% of people are finishing our games' or whatever it is, then developers are literally wasting their time making content nobody is seeing. And they should be asking why so few people are finishing the games. Are they too difficult? Are they boring? What's the issue.

Those percentages are always kinda depressing. All the ones I’ve checked (the ‘you’ve completed the game’ cheevo/trophy), it’s rare that it’s even over something like 40% of players. I’d be pretty glum if I was a developer.

Trailer looked good, but 2022 is too far away for announcement. Wish we had another proper Arkham game to tide us over.

It depends on how much you enjoy the title.

By the end of RDR2, I was fed up with it and the sheer amount of hours to 100% the collectibles in the game is too much. That’s where the rarest trophies/achievements are focused.

Welcome to Task Force X. Your mission? Kill the Justice League.

Cracking trailer that.

Now that I can get behind.

Looking forward to seeing some gameplay, but tonally it looks great fun.

Especially nice to see it continuing in the same universe as the Arkham games.

Good trailer, that. Rocksteady are clearly talented devs, but I didn't really enjoy their previous 2 games and so I'm not gonna get too interested in this just yet.

Fantastic trailer but I've absolutely no idea what kind of game it is going to be. Not interested until I see some actual gameplay.

That trailer was neat. I don't know anything about Suicide Squad and I was surprised to see Arkham and also other DC characters; as a casual superhero fan I am getting mixed up between this and the upcoming Gotham Knights game.

I'd thought that Rocksteady were doing the Gotham game but I read in that game's thread the the Batman Arkham Origins team (Warner Bros Montréal) are on that with Rocksteady on duty here. I hope both turn out well.

Looks great, but I'm still unsure on the multiplayer focus :dread:

That looked pretty good. The video seemed to be a bit cinematic rather than actual gameplay but it was neat; definitely a title I'm looking out for.
