Batman: Gotham Knights.

Looks low framerate and the vehicle movement seems very unnatural like as if it's following a linear path rather than calculating physics based on weight, type of vehicle etc.
Looks like a very lazy reskin of the still superb Arkham Knight to me! But WB Montreal are not Rocksteady and even though WB own both studios I doubt Rocksteady are involved much beyond handing all the tool creators they built for Arkham Knight over to WB Montreal!
 
At least one thing this trailer has done for me is given me a burning desire to replay the batman arkham games again :cool:

Suicide squad looks like it could be good, definitely better than this POS anyway
 
It looked lame as heck. I can see them going for a Divisionesque game-style but they lack the world building & activity of it, at least from what they've shown. There's just no life to the world! And the dull delivery of VA and bland gameplay don't do much to sell it either.

They'd be lucky to land in even the same sphere as Marvel's Avengers, which is actually quite fun & well made.

I've still to complete Arkham City and Knight. I loved Arkham Asylum. The game was so gritty and grungy. Loved the whole dark atmosphere.

That is the biggest complaint with the avengers game from me, the missions are beyond terrible, mission style and the game level/map design are super repetitive with no difference at all, all the missions felt the same..... This new dc game looks far better in this regard especially if they base it of the arkham knight game but add far more to open world design.

Get finishing city, it is superb, I loved knight too, just as dark gritty with a fantastic story to boot too.

Replaying arkham knight today and it still looks superb, especially on the oled. Performance is astonishing now too, not a single hitch or stutter.
 
Is it weird that my favourite part of the series was the first-person intro to Arkham Knight where you're IN GOTHAM CITY? It was super immersive.

It made me want a Gotham City detective game.
 
Yup the intro was great. Such a great atmosphere and tone to the game.

Loving the replay of AK, probably like my 5th or 6th play through again, I miss having a game with a solid story etc. like these ones where you can really get immersed and just have "fun", 2019 and 2020 have been absolutely dog **** for games.

Would love to see more DC and marvel based games like the arkham series, the likes of iron man in a setting like this would be fantastic.
 
Or another Arkham Knight PC launch.

I think the whole CP2077 launch debacle has scared some publishers into delays when they might have launched and patched afterwards

Looks like an Arkham Knight reskin! That game was circa 2015 & took a lot of effort, time & money which is why it still looks & plays well today..this looks like a cheap n nasty cash-in amazed they did not just get Rocksteady back they know the magic formula for success!
 
Rocksteady obviously didn't want to do another Arkham game, hence Suicide Squad. The weird thing about this is they started off calling it an RPG and made a point of saying it would be totally different to the Arkham series... and then make something that looks so painfully like an Arkham game you'd wonder why they didn't just call it one from the get go. :o
 
Watching this game makes me feel I'd far rather have Batman as my character. The combat mainly looks unsatisfactory. The handglider travelling looks like fun but the other one doesn't look right.
